You might’ve noticed a few more cockroaches popping up around Sydney lately… and no, it’s not just you 👀
With the warmer weather hanging around, plus all the recent rain and humidity, conditions are perfect for cockroaches. As the temperature starts to shift, they head indoors looking for food, water, and somewhere cosy to hide (unfortunately, that often means your kitchen or bathroom).
So why are they so active right now?
It really comes down to a few simple things: warm, humid air helps them breed faster, rain can push them out of drains and damp areas, and homes offer easy access to food and shelter—especially in older buildings with small gaps and cracks.
The good news? There are a few easy things you can do to keep them at bay:
✔️ Keep your kitchen clean – wipe up crumbs and spills as you go
✔️ Get on top of moisture – fix any leaks and keep sinks/dishes dry overnight
✔️ Seal up entry points – check for gaps around pipes, walls, and doors
✔️ Declutter where you can – cardboard and paper are perfect hiding spots
