Cockroaches are the pest Brisbane kitchens see most. The small German cockroach breeds behind the fridge, dishwasher and inside cupboard hinges; the big American cockroach comes in from drains, compost and the garden at night. Elite treats both, inside and out, from $77 per room.
Elite provides specialist cleaning and restoration for the BMS National Rugby Training Centre at Ballymore as a valued partner of Queensland Rugby Union.
Warmth, moisture and food. That means the back of the fridge and dishwasher, under the sink, inside the pantry, around the hot water system and, outside, in drains, mulch and the gaps around pipes. The technician inspects these spots first and treats where the cockroaches are breeding, not only where you saw one.
Units and apartments
In a unit block, cockroaches move between flats along pipes and services. We treat the kitchen, bathroom and entry points of your unit, and tell you what to ask the body corporate about if the building itself needs attention.
Cafes, restaurants and shops
Food premises get a visit outside trading hours, a treatment planned around preparation areas and stock, and the treatment details in writing for the auditor or the landlord.
Keeping them out
Wipe the benches at night, keep food and pet bowls sealed, fix dripping taps, empty bins and seal the gaps around pipes under the sink. The technician will point out the ones that matter in your kitchen.
What it costs
Prices are per room, for an internal and external treatment:
General pest, for cockroaches, silverfish and spiders: from $77 per room
Flea treatment: from $88 per room
Ant treatment: from $88 per room
The total follows how many rooms are treated and which pest it is, so a unit kitchen and bathroom costs far less than a whole house.
Who comes to the door
Police-checked, fully insured technicians and a satisfaction guarantee on every job. Elite is CM3 certified, carries $20 million in public and products liability cover, and the Elite brand has been operating since 1984 from its head office in Acacia Ridge.
Cockroach questions
Why do I only see them at night?
Cockroaches are nocturnal. Seeing them in daylight usually means the harbourage is crowded, which is a sign to act soon.
Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?
Once dry, yes. The technician tells you how long to keep people and pets off treated surfaces for the product used.
Will one treatment be enough?
For most homes, yes. A heavy German cockroach infestation can need a follow-up, and the technician will say so on the day.
