Cockroaches are one of Australia’s most common home invaders

Cockroaches can breed rapidly and are highly resilient. Most species are nocturnal and ground dwelling and are usually found hiding during the day in crevices, under bark, rocks or logs. Cockroaches may enter houses through sewer connections, under doors, around plumbing, air ducts or other openings in the home.

Most homeowners are unaware of cockroach infestations in their homes and the health and safety risks associated with cockroach infestation such as allergies and asthma which can be triggered by cockroach allergens and the germs and bacteria they are known to spread.
