Identify likely harbourages
We assess where cockroaches are active and what is giving them access to warmth, water, and food sources.
If you are seeing cockroaches in kitchen areas, bathrooms, or near skirting boards, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help identify where they are hiding and reduce ongoing activity.
Cockroaches often persist because the infestation source stays hidden. The goal is to locate harbourages, reduce access to food and water, and treat the areas cockroaches use most.

You may notice roaches in kitchens or laundries, especially at night, or you might see small droppings and smears near gaps, drains, and appliances. A musty smell near cupboards and behind kickboards can also be a sign of harbourage activity.
