A roach problem in Florida is really one of two different problems. German cockroaches breed indoors: kitchens, appliance motors and wall voids. Their numbers explode fast. American cockroaches (the big ones) mostly live outside in sewers, mulch and palms, and wander in through gaps. The treatment for one does little against the other.
We start by identifying which roach you have and where it is breeding. German roach work centers on gel baits and insect growth regulators placed in harborage areas; American roach work centers on exterior treatment and sealing the entry points they use. Both come with honest guidance on the sanitation and moisture fixes that make treatment stick.
Signs of a roach infestation
- Live roaches in kitchen or bathroom, especially at night
- Pepper-like droppings in drawers, cabinets or behind appliances
- Egg cases (small brown capsules) in hidden corners
- A musty, oily odor in enclosed spaces
- Roaches emerging from drains or under the dishwasher
Frequently asked about roach control
How long does it take to get rid of roaches?
German roach infestations typically show major reduction within one to two weeks of baiting, with full elimination in three to six weeks depending on severity. American roach problems usually resolve faster once entry points are treated and sealed.
Do I need to empty my kitchen before treatment?
Usually no. Modern gel baiting is precise and does not require the tent-and-spray disruption of older methods. We will tell you exactly what, if anything, needs to be moved before we arrive.
What is the difference between a palmetto bug and a roach?
"Palmetto bug" is the Florida nickname for large outdoor roaches, usually American or Florida woods cockroaches. They invade from outside, while German roaches breed indoors. We treat both, see our palmetto bug service for the outdoor invaders.
Are roach treatments safe for my family?
Yes. Gel baits and growth regulators are placed in cracks, voids and stations that children and pets cannot access. We use the lightest effective approach and explain every product we apply.
