Extermination and Removal of Cockroaches

Cockroaches eat almost anything, from food to faecal matter and carry bacteria and pathogens that are harmful to human health. Bacteria survive on cockroaches for months and are passed on whenever we eat food that has been touched by them.

Cockroaches also release allergens and have been linked to causing asthma and irritating allergies.

There are three common types of cockroaches found in homes around the Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Hunter regions: the Oriental, American and German cockroaches.

Bolstered Building and Pest Services are experts in exterminating them all.
