Inspection of hotspots
We look for signs of activity such as live roaches, egg cases, droppings, and common harborage points around kitchens, laundries, and moisture areas.
Cockroaches can hide in gaps and come out when it is warm, so you need targeted treatment where they are breeding and feeding.
It is common to see fewer roaches for a short time, then activity starts again because the cause of the infestation was not addressed.
Cockroach control for homes and small businesses
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney provides cockroach control in Lane Cove based on where the activity is occurring in your home. We inspect key harbourage and movement areas, then apply a treatment approach suited to the level of infestation. For full details of what to expect, see the service page.
You will usually notice cockroaches near food prep zones, behind appliances, or along skirting boards, especially when lights are off. After an inspection, treatment targets the hiding spots and the routes roaches use to move indoors.
A simple inspection-to-treatment process

Professional service with helpful guidance on preventing repeat issues.
Cockroaches commonly hide in narrow gaps and warm, sheltered areas near food and moisture. During inspection, we look around kitchens and laundries for likely harborage such as under sinks, behind appliances, and along skirting boards.
Follow the preparation instructions you receive from 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so treated areas are accessible and safer for children and pets. This typically includes clearing access to key hotspots and managing items around kitchen and laundry zones.
After treatment, you may still notice some activity as the issue stabilises. We explain what to expect and which after-visit steps help the treatment work in the areas identified during inspection.
DIY often treats what you can see rather than the harbourage and routes cockroaches use indoors. If the underlying hotspots and access points are not addressed, activity can return.
You will be given after-visit instructions that tell you how to manage treated areas safely. The goal is to keep access clear where needed and reduce food and water sources that encourage roaches to return.
If you are seeing cockroaches in kitchen or laundry areas, arrange an inspection so 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can target the hotspots driving activity.
