THE FAB DIFFERENCE

Documented. Photographed. Treatment record and species findings. Clearly explained.

SYMPTOMS TO WATCH FOR

Signs the problem may be more than one stray cockroach.

  • Cockroaches appearing in the kitchen at night.
  • Activity around fridges, dishwashers or other appliances.
  • Cockroaches seen during daylight hours.
  • Small cockroaches returning after DIY spray or bait.
  • Droppings or egg cases around cupboards and hidden areas.
  • Activity spreading into bathrooms or other rooms.
WHY THEY KEEP COMING BACK

Why surface spraying may not solve the source.

Visible cockroaches are usually only part of the activity. The rest often sits concealed in areas surface sprays don't reach, alongside the warmth, moisture and food residue that support the population.

Household products may reduce activity for a while, but they may not reach the harbourage or breeding areas behind an established infestation.

  • Food residue in hard-to-reach areas
  • Moisture around sinks and appliances
  • Warm appliance motors and voids
  • Cracks and concealed harbourage
  • Movement between cupboards and walls
  • Access via plumbing and service lines

If activity returns, Fabien checks where it is concentrated and recommends the right treatment path.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

What we check before treating cockroaches.

Inspection areas

  • Kitchens and food-preparation areas.
  • Cupboards, kickboards and pantry spaces.
  • Refrigerators, dishwashers and other warm appliances.
  • Bathrooms and laundries.

Evidence and contributing conditions

  • Plumbing entry points and moisture areas.
  • Cracks, gaps and concealed harbourage.
  • Droppings, egg cases or other signs of activity.
  • Conditions contributing to recurrence.

The aim is to understand where the activity is concentrated so the treatment recommendation reflects the actual problem.

HOW IT WORKS

How the treatment works — no pressure, no surprise upsell.

  2. 02

    Identify species and extent

    As part of your treatment visit, Fabien identifies the cockroach species, checks the likely harbourage points and confirms the extent of activity before treating.

  3. 03

    Explain the findings

    You receive a clear explanation of what was found and the recommended treatment for the affected areas.

  4. 04

GERMAN COCKROACHES

Small cockroaches in the kitchen can require a more focused approach.

  • German cockroaches are commonly associated with warm indoor areas.
  • Activity is often concentrated around appliances, cupboards and food-preparation zones.
  • They breed indoors, so a single visit rarely resolves an established population.
  • That is why the German Cockroach Program includes up to 3 treatments, while common cockroach treatments are single-visit services.

If small cockroaches keep appearing near your appliances, choose the German Cockroach Program and we'll confirm the species and extent before the first treatment.

PREPARATION

Preparing for your cockroach service.

Preparation requirements depend on the affected areas and the proposed treatment. FAB will provide clear instructions before the service so you know exactly what to do.

Where possible, avoid spraying visible cockroach activity immediately before your treatment — it can make it harder to identify where the activity is concentrated.

SERVICE WARRANTY

Your treatment is backed by a service warranty.

This warranty applies to common household cockroaches. German cockroach infestations are not covered — they require the dedicated German cockroach program.

This warranty is given by Fabien Maillot trading as FAB Pest Control, 302 Alexander Dr, Dianella WA 6059. Phone 0403 461 016. Email contact@fabpestcontrol.com.au. ABN 31 828 410 908. WA Pest Management Technician Licence No. 13540.

What is covered, and for how long. Measured from the date of your original service — 6 months: spiders, common household cockroaches excluding German cockroach, silverfish and crickets. 3 months: common household ants. The warranty covers only the pests treated on your original service, in the areas treated on that service.

What you must do. Contact FAB by phone or email before the applicable period ends, telling us the pest, where activity has returned and when you noticed it. Provide safe access to the affected areas and complete any preparation we ask for.

FAQS

Common cockroach questions.

What does cockroach treatment cost?

Common Cockroach Treatment is $249 inc GST for interior areas, $299 inc GST for interior plus exterior, and $359 inc GST for interior, exterior and roof void where safely accessible — all single-visit services. The German Cockroach Program is $390 inc GST and includes up to 3 treatments. Standard pricing applies to typical residential homes; acreage, multi-structure, commercial or severe cases are confirmed or quoted before booking.

Why do cockroaches keep coming back after I spray them?

Surface sprays often reduce the cockroaches you can see without reaching concealed harbourage areas or addressing the conditions that support activity. If cockroaches keep returning, an inspection helps identify where the activity is concentrated and what the next step should be.

Does seeing cockroaches during the day mean the problem is serious?

Daytime sightings can indicate increased or displaced activity, but inspection is needed before drawing conclusions. FAB will inspect the affected areas and explain what the pattern suggests.

Will one treatment be enough, or is a program needed?

Common cockroach treatments are single-visit services and are often sufficient for species entering from outside. German cockroaches breed indoors around kitchens and appliances, so they rarely resolve in a single visit — that is why FAB runs a dedicated German Cockroach Program including up to 3 treatments. If activity continues after treatment, contact FAB and we'll advise the next step.

Is cockroach treatment safe around children and pets?

FAB will explain the products, preparation and re-entry requirements relevant to the proposed treatment. Always follow the instructions provided before and after the service.

Do I need to empty all my cupboards?

Preparation depends on the affected areas and the proposed treatment. FAB will provide clear instructions before the service so you know exactly what is required.

How long does cockroach treatment take?

Duration varies with the size of the property and the areas being treated. FAB will give you an expected timeframe when the visit is booked.

Will cockroaches disappear immediately?

Observable results can vary depending on the species, the treatment method and how established the activity is. FAB will explain what to expect after your visit.

Can cockroaches damage appliances?

Cockroaches can harbour around warm appliance areas, and activity or contamination near electrical components is worth addressing. An inspection helps identify where they are concentrated.
