Much of Blacktown is 1970s and 80s brick veneer on suburban blocks. Outdoor cockroaches live in stormwater pits, weep holes and garden beds and come in through gaps under doors and around pipes, especially in hot humid weeks. Treating the outside properly does most of the work.
In units and townhouses around the Blacktown CBD, Seven Hills and Doonside it is usually German cockroaches in kitchens. Those get a gel bait and growth regulator program with a re-check about 14 days later.

Roof void and sub-floor dusting, plus treatment of drains and pipe penetrations, deals with the population living where sprays inside never reach.
