There is stuff called Baygon available in Hyper Trebol. Also, get a mastic gun and a tube of silicone and seal any cracks etc behind presses, worktops etc.

There are a lot around at the moment. You need to find out where they come from / are living, normally the drains, often prevalent in the patio drains as these do not often get cleaned as often. If you are on a complex make sure the community cleans the drains regularly. As the previous post said try to seal gaps and holes. If it is really bad you can get a company in to fumigate / clean up.

I totally agree, that's what I did when I lived in Las Americas but there is some better stuff called Ebogon ? something like that you get it in the ferreterias - it's exellente

There is also an electrical device now on the market which I understand to be effective. Cannot remember its name but advertised on local TV.

I would go straight to the President of the complex and ask when the complex was last fumigated,you can go and spend fortunes on the sprays but the cockys will come back if fumigation isnīt carried out regularly. I have watched them lift up the drain covers in the communal areas on our complex and there are always hundreds of the buggers! so of course the will multiply and spread! do you see lots of baby ones?
