Summer in Auckland is prime time for cockroach activity. Warmth, moisture, and leftover crumbs make kitchens, bathrooms, and pantries irresistible to these pests. Even if your home looks clean, cockroaches can be hiding in places you’d never expect.
If you’ve spotted droppings, smear marks, or nighttime movement, it’s time to take action — and fast. Cockroaches breed quickly, and a small problem can escalate into a full-blown infestation before you know it.
Top Hiding Spots for Summer Cockroaches
Cockroaches are masters of hiding. Some of their favourite summer spots include:
- Under sinks and behind cupboards
- Inside pantry corners and behind appliances
- Cracks in flooring or wall cavities.
Even the cleanest kitchens aren’t immune. Catching them early is the key to keeping your home pest-free.
Why Professional Cockroach Treatments Matter
Summer callouts across Auckland are on the rise, particularly for German and Gisborne cockroaches — the most common species in local homes. DIY solutions rarely target the root of the problem.
Our targeted, professional treatments:
- Eliminate infestations at the source
- Target breeding areas and nests
- Provide long-lasting protection
- Are safe for your family and pets
If you’ve noticed signs like nighttime movement, droppings, or strong odours, a professional inspection is the fastest way to stop cockroaches in their tracks.
