Why Sydney Homes Choose Redback for Cockroach Control

German cockroaches breed in kitchens behind appliances, in cracks and under sinks. American and Australian cockroaches live outside and come in through drains and roof voids. The right treatment depends on the species — that's why we identify before we treat. Our program combines targeted gel baits, insect growth regulators (IGRs) to break the breeding cycle, and a residual perimeter spray to stop new cockroaches walking in.

Every treatment is delivered by a fully licensed, NSW EPA-registered Redback technician — never a subcontractor. We've been protecting Sydney homes and businesses for over 30 years and carry $20M public liability cover.

Booking is easy: get a fixed written price up front, choose a time that suits you (including Saturdays), and receive a digital service report with everything we used, treated and recommend. Same-week service is standard across Sydney, the Central Coast and Wollongong.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a cockroach treatment take?

Most residential cockroach treatments take 45–90 minutes depending on the size of the home and the level of activity. We'll confirm the timing when we book the job.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use only APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products applied by licensed technicians. Treated areas are typically safe to re-enter once dry — usually within 1–2 hours.

Will I see dead cockroachs after the treatment?

It's normal to see increased activity for the first 7–14 days as the product flushes them out of harbourage. After that, activity drops off sharply.

Do you offer a warranty?

All internal cockroach treatments come with a 12-month service warranty. Free re-treats inside the warranty period if activity returns.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. Quotes are fixed in advance, with no hidden call-out or travel fees across Sydney metro, Central Coast and Wollongong.
