Before you ring
What will the treatment cost?
Which pest it is, how settled in it is and how many rooms and carpets need treating set the price. Richard inspects and quotes free.
Can I just wait it out?
Flea eggs in the carpet keep hatching for weeks, and cockroaches spend the day in warm gaps you can’t see into. Neither clears up by itself.
What does the visit involve?
Richard checks behind the appliances, under the sinks, the hot-water cupboard and the floors, finds where they’re breeding, and quotes.

Cockroaches: the three that cause trouble
New Zealand has fifteen native cockroaches, which live in the bush and stay there. The ones that cause trouble in houses are introduced: the German, the American and the Gisborne cockroach.
The Gisborne cockroach is found in Nelson: glossy, dark brown with pale stripes, 20 to 45 mm long. It lives outside in bark chips and garden timber and moves into roof cavities and wall spaces when it’s cold. Indoors, cockroaches hide in warm, dark gaps behind the fridge and stove, under the sink and in the hot-water cupboard, and come out at night.
Richard treats them where they hide and breed, inside and in the garden beds and timber outside, so the treatment reaches the ones you never see.
Fleas in carpets and rentals
Fleas breed in carpets, rugs, pet bedding and between floorboards, and the eggs hatch over weeks, so bites can keep coming after the pets are treated. Moving into a rental and getting bitten is a common call: a home should be free of pests at the start of a tenancy, so tell the landlord or property manager straight away.
Richard treats the floors and furnishings where the fleas are breeding, and tells you what to do before he arrives.
Before Richard comes
- Vacuum carpets, rugs and under furniture, and empty the vacuum outside
- Wash pet bedding, and have your vet treat the pets the same week
- Clear the floor so every carpet can be reached
- For cockroaches: wipe the benches and put food away in sealed containers
- Tell Richard about pets, babies and anyone unwell at home

Really happy we went with 3D Pest Control! Richard was lovely to deal with from start to finish — prompt in making initial contact, quick to arrange an onsite quote, and able to get us booked in with a really quick turnaround to spray all the bugs away.
Richard was knowledgeable, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. I particularly appreciated the little touches, like confirming that payment had been received and checking in afterwards to make sure everything was going well and there weren’t any issues.
Great service, great communication, and I’d happily recommend 3D Pest Control to anyone needing pest control. Thanks Richard!

Questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 028 or ask it on the form below.
Big brown cockroaches with pale stripes: what are they?
Most likely the Gisborne cockroach, found in Nelson. It lives outside in bark chips and timber and comes into roof cavities and walls in cold weather. Richard treats it outside and in.
Why are we still getting flea bites after treating the dog?
Flea eggs and pupae sit in the carpet and keep hatching for weeks. The floors need treating as well as the pets.
We’ve just moved into a rental with fleas. Who pays?
Tell the landlord or property manager first: a home should be free of pests when a tenancy starts. Either of you can book Richard, and the inspection is free.
