Quick answer: Cockroach control in Newcastle with Kapow starts at a fixed $185 for a standard Newcastle home, is backed by a 12-month warranty, and can be booked online in about 60 seconds.
Cockroaches aren't just unpleasant — they spread bacteria like salmonella and E. coli across your benches, trigger asthma and allergies, and contaminate food. In Newcastle's warm, humid stretches they breed fast, so a couple of sightings can become an infestation in weeks.
We find where they're harbouring and breeding, treat the source rather than just the ones you see, and give you a plan to keep them out for good.
Signs you've got cockroaches
Spot any of these? It's worth acting early — before a few become a colony.
Live sightings
Roaches scattering when you flick the light on at night, especially in the kitchen or bathroom.
Droppings & smears
Pepper-like specks or dark smear marks along skirting boards, in cupboards and behind appliances.
A musty odour
A lingering oily, musty smell is a sign of a larger, established population nearby.
Egg cases
Small brown capsule-shaped egg cases tucked into cracks and crevices.
How we knock out cockroaches
A thorough, low-tox treatment that targets the colony — not just the ones you can see.
Inspect & identify
We find the species and where they're harbouring, breeding and feeding.
Targeted treatment
Gel baits and a residual treatment in entry points, cracks and harbourage zones.
Colony knockdown
The bait carries back to the nest, collapsing the population over the following days.
Prevent & protect
Simple prevention tips plus a 12-month warranty so they don't move back in.

How quickly will the cockroaches be gone?
You'll usually see a sharp drop within a few days as the bait reaches the nest, with the colony cleared over one to two weeks. Heavier infestations can need a follow-up, which your warranty covers.
Are the products safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use registered, low-toxicity products and place gels and treatments out of reach of children and pets. We'll let you know the short re-entry time on the day.
Do I need to leave the house?
In most cases, no — our treatments are low-tox and targeted. For larger jobs we may ask you to stay out of treated rooms for a couple of hours while they dry.
Will they come back?
Our treatment is backed by a 12-month warranty. If cockroaches return in that window, so do we — at no extra cost.
How much does cockroach control cost?
Cockroach treatment starts at a fixed $185 for a standard home. Your exact price is calculated from a few quick questions and locked in before you confirm.
