- Fix leaks under sinks and around geysers.
- Clean grease behind the stove and fridge.
- Do not spray over gel bait. It stops them feeding on it.
- In a block of flats, treat all units together if you can.

Cockroach Control Questions
How many treatments will I need?
German cockroaches usually need 2 visits 2 - 3 weeks apart, because the egg cases survive the first treatment.
Why am I still seeing cockroaches after treatment?
Seeing some for 1 - 2 weeks is normal while they feed on the bait. Numbers should drop sharply after that.
Are cockroaches coming from my neighbours?
In flats, often yes. Whole-block treatment works best. Ask your body corporate or landlord.
