Don't let cockroaches settle in
Quick answer: Cockroach control in Newcastle with Kapow starts at a fixed $229 for a standard Newcastle home 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.

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 treatment.
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?
For most treatments, yes — someone over 18 lets our technician in and then heads out while we work, returning after a short re-entry period. It varies by service, so your technician will confirm what's needed on the day.
What if they come back?
Cockroaches can return if there's an ongoing food or moisture source nearby — we'll point out what's drawing them in and how to reduce it. If you need another treatment, just book again.
How much does cockroach control cost?
Cockroach treatment starts at a fixed $229 for a standard home. Your exact price is calculated from a few quick questions and locked in before you confirm.
