Pest Control Auckland
The Gisborne Cockroach is a common in Auckland area. Originally from Australia the Gisborne Cockroach can be
found mostly outside e.g. bark gardens, fire wood etc.The Gisborne Cockroach in its juvenille stages is light brown
and looks similar to the native cockroach. As it matures it becomes a dark brown sometimes mistaken for black. Adult Gisborne
cockroaches have distinctive yellow stripe on each side of their body running from their head to their thorax. Adult
Gisborne cockroaches can be quite large and move fast when disturbed at night. During the day they are mostly docile and
relucatant to move even when nudged. Mostly the Gisborne cockroach lives outside and gets into your house by accident.
Once inside they wander around your house looking for a way out or food and water. The Gisborne cockroach can establish
itself inside your house, in particular the kitchen. Signs that the Gisborne Cockroach is living in your kitchen are all the
stages of the life cycle being seen in your house ( very small through to large adults). The Gisborne cockroach sticks its egg
sacks to the sides of wall- cupboards-draws etc. These are brown and "crispy" to touch. Egg sacks in your house in-particular
the kitchen is another sign that the Gisborne cockroach has established itself in your house. The third sign is adults leave
behind black faeces that are large and could be mistaken for mouse droppings. Cockroaches are known to carry pathogens on their
body and have recently been shown to be linked to Athsma
TREATMENT:The goal of Aces is to eradicate all of the Gisborne Cockroaches in your home or business and stop them
coming back in. With the Gisborne cockroach one of the most important treatments is the external/internal spray. We want to
prevent the cockroaches from coming into the building. A light application of
PERMEX dust in areas known to favour cockroaches
fridges/dishwashers/microwaves etc is also incicated.
Goliath Gel baiting discrete parts of the kitchen is also recommended to catch any juveniles missed by the spray or dust.
Goliath Gel bait goes on killing the cockroaches for weeks
and sometimes months after the treatment.
Goliath Gel bait is a slow acting digestive posion, so that cockroach has time to get back to its hiding place.
Here it dies and is then consumed by the other cockroaches, killing them too. The COMBINATION of all three treatments increases the chances of
eradicaiton and will reduce the chance of them coming back into your house/building.
NON CHEMICAL TREATMENT: Foliage touching your building should be trimmed back so it is not touching the building. This is often how the
Gisborne cockroach gets onto your building exterior and then inside your home/business.
PROCEDURE: A treatment takes around one hour and there is a two hour stand down period. You may see cockroaches for a few days afterwards,
as the treatments have a flushing effect. You do not have to empty your food cupboards.
GUARANTEE: Aces offers a six month guarantee for Gisborne Cockroaches.
