Awesome job, mate! Ants were everywhere and now all sorted. Cheers!

We had wasps nesting near the roof, which made it impossible to enjoy the backyard. UrbanShield came the same day I called and safely removed the nest. The technician was professional and even showed me where wasps are likely to build again so I could keep an eye out. Price was reasonable for such quick service. I feel so relieved now!

Quick and professional! Ants are completely gone after the treatment.

The treatment was fantastic! We had a serious ant problem in our kitchen and they responded quickly. The technician explained the process clearly, used safe treatments (which was important for us because of our kids and dog), and the results were visible within a day. It’s been over three months now and not a single ant has come back.

General Pest Control Questions

  • Why is cockroach control important?

    Cockroaches spread bacteria, allergens, and foul odors. Professional control ensures a healthier environment and prevents rapid population growth.

  • How do professionals treat cockroach problems?

    Professionals use gel baits, targeted sprays, and insect growth regulators that are more effective and safer than store-bought sprays.

  • How can I prevent cockroach infestations?

    Keep kitchens clean, store food securely, remove rubbish regularly, and seal entry points.

  • Do cockroaches carry health risks?

    Yes. They carry bacteria and allergens that can cause asthma, food poisoning, and other health issues.

  • Why are cockroaches so hard to get rid of?

    They reproduce quickly, can survive harsh conditions, and hide in tiny cracks and crevices.

  • How can I tell the difference between German and Gisborne cockroaches?

    German cockroaches are small (about 1.5 cm), light brown with two dark stripes on their back, and usually found indoors in kitchens. Gisborne cockroaches are larger (up to 3 cm), dark brown with mottled patterns, and prefer outdoor areas but can invade houses.

  • Which cockroach species are common in New Zealand?

    German cockroaches and Gisborne cockroaches are the two most common.
