Living in Timber Pines means dealing with Florida’s humid climate that roaches love. We know the local challenges—from palmetto bugs getting flushed out by summer storms to German roaches thriving in our year-round warmth. That’s why we’ve developed targeted strategies that work specifically for our area’s unique pest pressures.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify exactly which roach species you’re dealing with and where they’re hiding. German roaches behave differently than American cockroaches, and treating them the same way is why most DIY attempts fail.
Next, we apply professional-grade baits and growth regulators in targeted areas where roaches actually live—behind appliances, inside wall voids, and in areas most homeowners can’t reach. These treatments work by letting roaches carry the active ingredients back to their nests, eliminating entire colonies including eggs that regular sprays can’t touch.
Finally, we return for follow-up visits to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied and your roach problem is eliminated for good. Most customers see dramatic results within the first week, with complete elimination typically achieved within 2-3 treatments.

Our roach control service includes identification and elimination of all common Florida species—German roaches, American cockroaches (palmetto bugs), and smoky brown roaches. We use different treatment strategies for each species because what works for indoor German roaches won’t effectively control outdoor palmetto bugs.
In Timber Pines, we see increased roach activity during summer storms when heavy rainfall drives them indoors seeking shelter. Our treatments create protective barriers around your home while eliminating existing infestations inside. We focus heavily on kitchens and bathrooms where moisture and food sources attract roaches, but we also treat attics, basements, and other areas where they commonly hide.
Every treatment uses pet and child-safe products that won’t harm your family but are lethal to roaches. We also provide detailed prevention recommendations specific to your property, like identifying entry points and eliminating moisture sources that make your home attractive to these pests. Our goal isn’t just to kill the roaches you have now—it’s to keep them from coming back.
Even the cleanest homes can have roach problems because these pests aren’t just attracted to dirt—they need water, shelter, and tiny amounts of food that exist in every home. In Timber Pines, our humid Florida climate creates perfect conditions for roaches year-round.
German roaches can survive on microscopic food particles and the moisture from your dishwasher or under-sink plumbing. American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) often enter from outside during storms or hot weather, seeking cooler indoor temperatures. They can squeeze through cracks as small as 1/16 inch, so even well-identifyed homes aren’t immune.
The key isn’t just cleanliness—it’s professional treatment that targets where roaches actually live and breed, combined with identifying entry points and eliminating moisture sources that draw them inside in the first place.
Professional baiting systems are the fastest and most effective method for German roach elimination. Unlike sprays that only kill roaches on contact, baits work by attracting roaches to feed, then they carry the active ingredient back to their hiding places where it eliminates the entire colony.
We use professional-grade gel baits placed in strategic locations like behind appliances, inside cabinets, and in wall voids where German roaches actually nest. Combined with insect growth regulators that prevent reproduction, most customers see dramatic reduction within 7-10 days.
DIY sprays and foggers rarely work because German roaches hide in areas these products can’t reach. Our targeted approach gets results because we know exactly where these pests live and how to get treatments to those locations effectively.
In Timber Pines, what people call “water bugs” are usually American cockroaches, also known as palmetto bugs. They’re actually the same thing—American cockroaches earned the nickname “water bug” because they’re often found near plumbing and in damp areas.
True water bugs are aquatic insects that live in ponds and streams, rarely entering homes. The large, reddish-brown insects you see in your bathroom or kitchen are American cockroaches seeking moisture and shelter. They can grow up to 2 inches long and can fly short distances, which often startles homeowners.
German cockroaches are much smaller (about ½ inch), light brown with two dark stripes behind their heads, and prefer indoor environments. Both species require professional treatment, but the approach differs based on their behavior and habitat preferences.
Florida kitchens attract roaches because they provide the three things these pests need most: food, water, and warm shelter. Even small amounts of grease, crumbs, or moisture from dishwashing create ideal conditions, especially in our humid climate.
Prevention starts with eliminating water sources—fix leaky faucets, wipe down sinks, and ensure good ventilation to reduce humidity. Store food in identifyed containers, clean up spills immediately, and don’t leave dirty dishes overnight. Pay special attention to areas under appliances where crumbs and moisture accumulate.
However, prevention alone isn’t enough once roaches are established. Professional treatment is necessary to eliminate existing populations and create protective barriers. We combine effective elimination with practical prevention strategies tailored to your specific kitchen layout and the roach species you’re dealing with.
Yes, commercial properties require specialized roach control because the stakes are much higher than residential infestations. A single roach sighting can damage your reputation, trigger health department violations, and even force temporary closures in food service businesses.
Commercial roach control involves more intensive treatment schedules, documentation for health inspectors, and ongoing monitoring to prevent re-infestation. We understand the unique challenges businesses face—from employee break rooms that attract German roaches to loading docks where American cockroaches enter from outside.
Our commercial service includes discreet treatment methods that won’t disrupt your operations, detailed reporting for compliance purposes, and emergency response when needed. We work around your business hours and coordinate with your staff to ensure effective treatment while maintaining your professional image.
Professional roach baiting typically shows dramatic results within 7-10 days, with most customers seeing roaches nearly eliminated within two weeks. The timeline depends on the species, infestation size, and environmental conditions in your specific location.
German roaches usually respond faster because they’re more likely to feed on baits and share food with colony members. American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) may take slightly longer because they’re larger and more cautious feeders, but the results are just as thorough.
Unlike sprays that only kill roaches you can reach, baits continue working for weeks after application. Roaches that feed on the bait carry it back to their hiding places, eliminating others including nymphs and egg-carrying females. We include follow-up visits to monitor progress and apply additional treatments if needed to ensure complete elimination.
