Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Lumberton families from roaches and other pests for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner – no middlemen, no confusion about who’s responsible for your results.
We understand Florida’s unique roach challenges. Lumberton’s warm, humid climate creates perfect breeding conditions for German cockroaches, American cockroaches, and palmetto bugs year-round. That’s why we’ve developed specialized treatment approaches that work specifically for our local conditions.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews back up what our customers already know: when you call us, we show up, we solve the problem, and we make sure it stays solved.
First, we inspect your property to identify exactly what type of roaches you’re dealing with and where they’re hiding. German cockroaches require different treatment than American cockroaches, and we need to find their harborage areas to eliminate the entire colony.
Next, we apply targeted treatments using professional-grade baits and growth regulators. These work by having roaches carry the treatment back to their nests, eliminating roaches you can’t see. We focus on cracks, crevices, and areas where roaches breed – behind appliances, under sinks, and in wall voids.
Finally, we identify entry points and provide you with specific prevention strategies for your property. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to ensure the treatment worked and catch any new activity before it becomes a problem.

Your roach control service includes thorough interior and exterior treatment, targeting all common Florida roach species. We treat kitchens, bathrooms, utility areas, and other problem zones where roaches hide and breed.
In Lumberton, we commonly deal with German cockroaches in kitchens and bathrooms, American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) entering from outside, and occasional Florida woods cockroaches. Each requires specific treatment approaches, which is why proper identification matters.
You also get our prevention program, including identifying recommendations and ongoing monitoring. We know that Florida’s year-round warm weather means roach pressure never really stops, so we build long-term protection into every service. Our goal isn’t just eliminating your current problem – it’s making sure you don’t have to deal with roaches again.
There’s actually no difference – “water bug” and “palmetto bug” are just regional nicknames for cockroaches, particularly American cockroaches. These large, reddish-brown roaches are often called water bugs because they’re frequently found near water sources like drains and pipes.
The confusion comes from their size and appearance. American cockroaches can grow over 1.5 inches long, making them much larger than the German cockroaches most people associate with infestations. But whether you call them water bugs, palmetto bugs, or cockroaches, they’re all the same pest requiring professional treatment.
In Lumberton, you might see both American cockroaches coming in from outside and German cockroaches establishing colonies inside your home. Both need different treatment approaches, which is why proper identification by a professional matters.
Finding roaches in a clean home is more common than you think, especially in Florida’s humid climate. Roaches aren’t just attracted to dirt – they need three things: food, water, and shelter. Even the cleanest homes provide all three.
They can survive on tiny crumbs, pet food, or even non-food items like cardboard and glue. Water sources include leaky pipes, condensation, or even pet water bowls. And shelter can be as simple as the space behind your refrigerator or under your sink.
Roaches also hitchhike into clean homes through grocery bags, packages, or used furniture. In Lumberton’s warm climate, they’re active year-round and constantly looking for new places to establish colonies. Your clean house isn’t the problem – it’s just that roaches are incredibly adaptable survivors.
The fastest effective method combines professional gel baits with insect growth regulators (IGRs). German cockroaches don’t respond well to sprays or granular baits, but they readily consume gel baits placed in their hiding spots – cracks, crevices, and areas behind appliances.
The key is targeting their harborage areas, not just where you see them. German roaches hide during the day in tight spaces like behind kitchen outlets, under sinks, and inside appliances. Professional placement of gel baits in these areas gets the entire colony, including roaches you never see.
IGRs are crucial because they break the German cockroach’s rapid reproduction cycle. A single female German cockroach can produce over 400 offspring in her lifetime, so stopping reproduction is essential. DIY treatments often fail because they don’t address the breeding cycle or reach the hidden harborage areas where colonies actually live.
Florida kitchens need constant vigilance because our warm, humid climate creates ideal roach conditions year-round. Start with moisture control – fix any leaky faucets, identify around pipes, and ensure good ventilation to reduce humidity that attracts roaches.
Food storage is critical. Keep everything in airtight containers, including pet food. Clean up crumbs immediately, don’t leave dirty dishes overnight, and take out garbage regularly. Even small amounts of grease or food residue can sustain a roach colony.
Seal entry points around your kitchen, particularly gaps around pipes, electrical outlets, and where cabinets meet walls. German cockroaches can squeeze through incredibly small spaces. Regular professional treatment creates a protective barrier and catches any new activity before it becomes an infestation. In Florida’s climate, prevention is much easier than elimination.
Professional roach baiting is significantly more effective than DIY approaches, especially for German cockroach infestations. We have access to commercial-grade baits and IGRs that aren’t available to consumers, and more importantly, we know exactly where to place them for maximum impact.
The biggest issue with DIY baiting is placement. Roaches won’t travel far for bait, so it needs to go directly in their harborage areas – often inside wall voids, behind appliances, and in cracks you can’t easily access. We also know which bait formulations work best for different roach species.
Professional treatment also includes follow-up monitoring. Roach colonies can develop bait resistance, and new roaches can move in from neighboring properties. We adjust treatment strategies based on results and provide ongoing protection. In Florida’s challenging climate, professional service typically eliminates infestations faster and prevents recurrence better than DIY methods.
Roach infestation cleanup costs vary based on the severity of the problem, size of your property, and type of roaches involved. German cockroach infestations typically require more intensive treatment than occasional American cockroaches entering from outside.
Most of our Lumberton customers get phone quotes after a brief discussion of their situation. We provide transparent pricing upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. The investment in professional treatment is typically much less than dealing with ongoing health issues, property damage, or failed DIY attempts.
We also offer prevention programs that cost less than emergency treatments. Regular quarterly service prevents infestations from establishing and catches problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to eliminate. Many customers find this approach more cost-effective than waiting until they have a serious infestation requiring intensive treatment.
