Inspection and activity mapping
We look for signs and active cockroach locations, including gaps, moisture sources, and harbourage areas around kitchen and wet areas.
Cockroaches are a common indoor pest, and the quickest way to stop the problem is to treat where they’re hiding and reduce the conditions they feed on.
If you’re seeing cockroaches around kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry areas, the most effective fix starts with confirming the source and targeting the harbourage, not just killing what you can see.
What this service covers
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney provides cockroach control for homes and businesses across Northwood.

You might spot roaches scurrying in the kitchen after lights go out, or notice activity behind a fridge, dishwasher, cupboards, or around sink plumbing. In heavier infestations, you may also find droppings or a musty odour in the same areas.
How the visit works
We start by checking the areas where cockroaches typically hide and move, then plan treatment based on the activity we see. Before we begin, we give prep guidance for people, pets, and food surfaces, and we explain what to expect after the treatment.

Professional service with helpful guidance on preventing repeat issues.
Cockroaches commonly hide near moisture and food, often around kitchen and wet areas. Look for activity behind and under appliances, inside cupboards, and around sink plumbing, especially where gaps allow them to move easily.
We provide preparation instructions before treatment so the areas can be accessed safely. This typically includes preparing benches and cupboards and following specific guidance around children and pets.
After treatment, your property’s activity may change as the harbourage is addressed and conditions are reduced. We give aftercare instructions so you know what to expect and how to support the outcome at home or work.
Prevention focuses on removing what cockroaches need, especially accessible food and moisture. Following the aftercare guidance and addressing entry points and harbourage conditions helps reduce recurring sightings.
The process includes prep and safety steps for people, including children, and pets, so you can understand what needs to be done around the time of treatment. Your specific instructions will be provided for your property and situation.
