When are Cockroaches Most Active in New Zealand?

Cockroaches are a common household pest that can affect many homes throughout New Zealand. While you may think that they are active all-year round, there is a specific season in which they are most active. So, if you are wondering when cockroach management season is in NZ, you have come to the right place.

Here at Carpets & Critters, we are experts when it comes to eliminating pests from Kiwi homes. You can count on us for pest-proofing your home. However, let’s first explore when cockroach season is so that you can better protect your home against cockroaches.

Cockroach Season in NZ

Although cockroaches can be found in almost any season, cockroaches are more drawn to humid and warmer places. This means that you can expect them to be most active during the summer months. During cool weather, like in autumn and winter, cockroaches are less active, but this doesn’t mean that they disappear.

You can expect to see more cockroaches during the summer, but if your home is heated or air conditioned, then you may still see cockroaches throughout the year.

What to Do if You Have Cockroaches in Your Home

If you spot cockroaches in your home, the first thing that you shouldn’t do is panic. It’s possible that you simply have a passing cockroach, but if you notice the any of the following, then you might have an infestation in your hands:

  • Foul odours
  • Cockroach droppings
  • Cockroach egg casings
  • Smear marks

You can often find cockroaches inside walls, in cabinets, cupboards, and behind appliances. As a result, you might not always realise that cockroaches have infested your home until they have multiplied to large numbers – and they can multiply very quickly.

To eliminate cockroaches in your home, it’s recommended that you turn to experts like Carpets & Critters for professional extermination solutions.

At Carpets & Critters, we can help eliminate cockroaches from your home. Although cockroach season in NZ is behind us, cockroaches can still be found in Kiwi homes throughout autumn and winter. If you believe that you have a cockroach infestation, our pest management services can help. Book our services now, or contact us to learn more about our solutions!
