You’ll sleep better knowing those disease-carrying pests are gone for good. No more embarrassing moments when guests spot roaches scurrying across your kitchen floor. No more wondering if your family’s health is at risk from contaminated surfaces and food.
Our roach control in Fort King Acres doesn’t just kill what you see—it eliminates the hidden colonies breeding in your walls. You get a home that stays clean, safe, and comfortable, with treatments designed specifically for Florida’s toughest roach species.
When we’re done, you’ll have peace of mind that comes from working with professionals who understand exactly what Fort King Acres homeowners face.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Hernando County families from roaches and other pests with the kind of personal service you can’t get from big companies. When you call, you talk directly to the owner—not a call center.
We’re state-certified and BBB accredited, with over 100 five-star Google reviews from neighbors who trust us with their homes. Every technician knows Fort King Acres’ specific challenges, from palmetto bugs sneaking in during Florida’s humid summers to German roaches hitchhiking in grocery deliveries.
You’re not just another appointment to us. We’re your neighbors, and we treat your home like our own.
First, we identify exactly which roach species you’re dealing with. German roaches need different treatment than American cockroaches or palmetto bugs—and using the wrong approach just wastes your time and money.
Next, we target both the roaches you see and the colonies you don’t. We use professional-grade gel baits that roaches carry back to their nests, plus insect growth regulators that stop reproduction cycles. No store-bought spray can do what our specialized treatments accomplish.
Finally, we identify entry points and eliminate the moisture sources that attract roaches in the first place. You get follow-up visits to ensure the problem stays solved, plus prevention tips that actually work in Fort King Acres’ climate.

Your roach control service includes species identification, targeted treatments for both visible and hidden infestations, and comprehensive prevention. We handle everything from tiny German roaches hiding behind appliances to large palmetto bugs entering through cracks and crevices.
Fort King Acres’ warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for multiple roach species year-round. Our treatments are specifically chosen for Florida pests—gel baits for German roaches that don’t respond to granular products, exterior treatments for American cockroaches, and moisture control recommendations that actually work in our climate.
You also get our 24/7 availability guarantee. Roach problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Plus, we offer special discounts for military families and new homeowners because we believe everyone deserves a pest-free home.
Clean homes get roaches too—it’s not about your housekeeping. Florida’s warm, humid climate attracts roaches year-round, and they’re excellent at finding entry points you’d never notice.
German roaches often hitchhike inside on grocery bags, delivery boxes, and even appliances. Palmetto bugs and American cockroaches come in through tiny cracks around doors, windows, and plumbing. Once inside, they multiply rapidly in hidden areas like wall voids and behind appliances.
The key is professional identification and treatment. Different roach species require different approaches, and what works for one type might actually make another problem worse.
German roaches require specialized gel baits, not the granular baits that work on other species. Professional treatments use products like Vendetta Plus applied directly into cracks where they hide and breed.
The fastest elimination combines gel baiting with insect growth regulators that stop reproduction cycles. This approach kills both visible roaches and the hidden colonies, preventing new generations from maturing. Store-bought sprays and foggers actually scatter German roaches deeper into walls, making the problem harder to solve.
Professional treatment typically shows results within days, with complete elimination in 2-3 weeks when done correctly.
Moisture control is your first priority—water attracts roaches more than food. Fix leaky faucets, ensure your AC drain lines stay clear, and wipe down surfaces after cooking. Even small amounts of grease and crumbs provide enough food for roach colonies.
Seal cracks around windows, doors, and plumbing entry points with caulk. Inspect grocery bags and delivery boxes before bringing them inside, since German roaches are notorious hitchhikers. Store food in airtight containers and don’t leave pet food out overnight.
Regular professional treatments create a protective barrier that stops roaches before they establish colonies in your kitchen.
“Water bug” is often a polite term for American cockroaches (palmetto bugs), but true water bugs are completely different insects that live in ponds and streams. The large, reddish-brown roaches you see in Fort King Acres homes are almost always American cockroaches.
American cockroaches prefer outdoor areas but enter homes seeking moisture and shelter. They’re larger than German roaches (up to 2 inches) and have a yellowish figure-8 pattern behind their heads. Unlike true water bugs, they can’t swim and don’t bite.
Professional identification matters because American cockroaches respond to different treatments than German roaches or other species common in Florida.
Professional baiting is the most effective long-term solution for roach control. Store-bought baits use generic formulations that may not work on the specific species in your home, and they’re often placed incorrectly.
Professional roach baiting uses targeted products applied directly where roaches travel and nest. We use different bait formulations for different species—gel baits for German roaches, granular baits for American cockroaches, plus insect growth regulators that prevent reproduction.
The application method matters too. We know exactly where to place baits for maximum effectiveness, ensuring roaches carry the product back to colonies you can’t reach.
Initial treatment typically requires 2-3 visits spaced 2-3 weeks apart to break reproduction cycles and eliminate hidden colonies. After that, quarterly maintenance keeps roaches from re-establishing in your home.
Fort King Acres’ year-round warm climate means roach pressure never stops. Regular professional service creates a protective barrier and addresses new entry points before they become problems. We also adjust treatments seasonally—heavier applications during peak roach season from June through September.
Emergency service is available 24/7 if you see signs of new activity between regular visits. Our goal is keeping your home consistently roach-free, not just treating problems after they develop.
