🪳 The Health Hazards of Cockroaches
Cockroaches are more than just a disgusting nuisance. They’re dangerous. These pests spread bacteria, trigger asthma, and contaminate food and surfaces. In Perth, the most common culprits are:
German Cockroaches – thrive in kitchens and bathrooms
American Cockroaches – large, reddish-brown, often in drains
Australian Cockroaches – prefer warm, humid outdoor areas
⚠️ Cockroach-Related Health Risks
Cockroaches carry and transmit harmful pathogens including:
Salmonella
E. coli
Streptococcus
Staphylococcus
Their droppings, shed skins, and saliva also trigger allergies and asthma; especially in children and the elderly.
If you see one cockroach, there’s likely hundreds hiding in walls, appliances, or drains.
🔍 Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Don’t wait until it’s out of control. Watch for:
Live cockroaches at night
Musty odour in infested areas
Brown smear marks near water sources
Egg casings (small, brown, capsule-like)
Droppings that resemble ground pepper
🧰 Treatment Options: What Works in Perth
At Tritan, we take a targeted approach using safe, effective methods:
Gel baits: Placed in high-risk locations like under fridges, dishwashers, and cabinetry
Insecticidal dusts: For wall cavities and hard-to-reach areas
Residual surface sprays: For long-term protection indoors and outdoors
Drain and crack treatments: Specialised flushing and sealing techniques
🛑 Why DIY Cockroach Control Fails
Supermarket sprays kill visible cockroaches, not the nest. Without professional treatment, you’ll only suppress symptoms, not solve the problem.
Our technicians identify the infestation level, access points, and hiding places to treat the root cause.
