You won’t find roaches scurrying across your counters at midnight anymore. No more disgusting droppings behind your appliances or that sickening musty smell that gets worse every week.
Our roach control in Jessamine, FL targets the problem at its source. We eliminate the entire colony, not just the ones you see, so your family can cook and eat without worrying about contaminated surfaces.
Most homeowners don’t realize how serious their roach problem is until they see them during the day. By then, you’re dealing with thousands, not dozens. We stop the cycle completely.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been eliminating roach infestations for families throughout Jessamine, FL and Hernando County for years. You work directly with the owner, not a rotating crew of technicians who don’t know your property.
We understand Florida’s unique roach problems. German cockroaches that reproduce faster than you can kill them. Palmetto bugs that fly straight at you in the kitchen. The constant moisture and heat that makes your home a roach paradise year-round.
Our state-certified team responds within 24 hours, even on weekends. Over 100 five-star Google reviews prove we deliver results when other companies fall short.
We start with a thorough inspection of your property, inside and out. Roaches hide in places you’d never think to look – behind wall voids, under appliances, inside electrical outlets. We find every harborage area and entry point.
Next comes targeted treatment using professional-grade baits and barrier applications that aren’t available to homeowners. We treat the entire life cycle, from eggs to adults, so the population can’t bounce back in a few weeks.
The final step is prevention. We identify entry points, eliminate moisture sources, and create a protective barrier around your home. You get follow-up visits to ensure the roaches stay gone permanently.

Your roach control service includes comprehensive interior and exterior inspection, identification of all roach species present, and targeted treatment for each type. German roach extermination requires different methods than palmetto bug control, and we adjust our approach accordingly.
Florida’s climate means roaches breed year-round, unlike northern states where cold weather provides natural control. We use integrated pest management specifically designed for Jessamine’s subtropical conditions, focusing on moisture control and exclusion work that works in high humidity.
You receive detailed documentation of treatment areas, follow-up scheduling, and prevention recommendations specific to your property. Commercial clients get customized treatment plans that meet health department requirements and maintain your business reputation.
Even spotless homes can have roach problems because cleanliness alone doesn’t eliminate moisture, entry points, or neighboring infestations. Roaches need three things: food, water, and shelter. While you’ve eliminated obvious food sources, they’ll survive on tiny crumbs, pet food residue, or even cardboard and glue.
Florida’s humidity provides constant moisture, and roaches can live for weeks without food. They enter through gaps around pipes, under doors, or in grocery bags and packages. German cockroaches are especially good at hitchhiking into clean homes.
Your clean house actually makes treatment more effective because there are fewer competing food sources for our professional baits.
Professional gel baits are the fastest way to eliminate German roach colonies because they target the entire population, not just individual roaches. Unlike sprays that only kill roaches on contact, baits are carried back to nesting areas where they eliminate roaches you never see.
German roaches reproduce so quickly that killing visible roaches barely impacts the population. A single female can produce over 30,000 offspring per year. Professional baits disrupt the reproductive cycle and eliminate egg cases before they hatch.
DIY foggers and sprays actually make German roach problems worse by scattering the population and creating pesticide resistance. Professional treatment uses rotation of active ingredients and targeted placement for maximum effectiveness.
“Water bug” is often a polite term people use for large cockroaches, particularly American cockroaches or palmetto bugs. True water bugs are aquatic insects that live in ponds and streams, while the large brown insects in your bathroom are actually cockroaches seeking moisture.
American cockroaches are commonly called palmetto bugs or water bugs in Florida, but they’re still roaches that contaminate surfaces and spread bacteria. They’re attracted to plumbing areas because they need water to survive, not because they’re aquatic insects.
The confusion comes from their size and preference for humid areas like bathrooms and laundry rooms. Regardless of what you call them, they require professional treatment to eliminate completely.
Roach prevention for Florida kitchens starts with eliminating moisture sources and identifying entry points. Fix leaky pipes immediately, use exhaust fans when cooking, and wipe down counters before bed. Store all food in airtight containers, including pet food and pantry items.
Seal gaps around plumbing with caulk, install door sweeps, and keep appliances clean underneath. Roaches hide behind refrigerators, under dishwashers, and inside small cracks you might overlook. Regular deep cleaning of these areas removes egg cases and pheromone trails that attract more roaches.
Florida’s year-round warmth means roaches never go dormant, so prevention must be consistent. Professional quarterly treatments create a protective barrier that stops roaches before they establish colonies in your kitchen.
You’ll see dead roaches within 24-48 hours of professional treatment, but complete elimination takes 2-4 weeks depending on infestation severity. This timeline accounts for roaches emerging from deep harborage areas and egg cases hatching after initial treatment.
German roaches die faster than American cockroaches because they’re more likely to encounter baits quickly. Large palmetto bugs may take longer to find bait stations, especially if they’re coming from outdoor areas. Increased roach activity in the first week is normal as the treatment flushes them from hiding spots.
Professional treatment includes follow-up visits to monitor progress and apply additional treatment if needed. Most infestations are completely eliminated within 30 days of initial service.
Modern professional roach control uses targeted gel baits and crack-and-crevice treatments that don’t require you to leave your home. These methods place active ingredients directly where roaches hide, minimizing exposure to living areas.
We may recommend staying out of treated rooms for 2-4 hours while products dry, but whole-house evacuation isn’t necessary. Gel baits are applied in small amounts in areas where children and pets don’t have access, like behind appliances and inside wall voids.
Professional application techniques and EPA-registered products ensure safety while maximizing effectiveness against roaches. We provide specific instructions for your situation and answer any safety questions during the treatment process.
