You’ll sleep better knowing those disgusting roaches are gone. No more jumping when you flip on the kitchen light. No more worrying about what your guests might see.
Professional roach control means targeting the source, not just the roaches you see. We eliminate the hidden nests, the egg cases, and the trails that keep bringing them back.
Within days of treatment, you’ll notice the difference. Within weeks, your roach problem becomes a memory. That’s what happens when you work with experts who understand Florida roaches inside and out.
Around The Clock Pest Service isn’t some faceless corporation. You work directly with the owner, getting personal attention and accountability you won’t find elsewhere in Tommytown.
We’ve built our reputation on honest communication and genuine results. Over 100 five-star Google reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen when we answer every call personally, respond within 24 hours, and treat every home like it’s our own.
As a family-run business serving Hernando and neighboring Florida counties, we understand what matters to Tommytown families. Your home is your sanctuary, and roaches have no place in it.
First, we identify exactly what you’re dealing with. German roaches require different treatment than American cockroaches or palmetto bugs. Species identification determines everything about how we approach your problem.
Next comes targeted treatment using professional-grade baits and growth regulators. We place gel baits in the cracks and crevices where roaches hide and breed. The growth regulators break their reproduction cycle, stopping future generations before they start.
We don’t just spray and hope. We target their harborage areas, treat entry points, and create barriers that keep new roaches from moving in. Most quotes are provided over the phone, and we’re available 24/7 because roach problems don’t wait for business hours.

Florida hosts 38 different cockroach species, but three dominate Tommytown homes. German roaches multiply fastest and hide in your kitchen cabinets. American cockroaches, those big palmetto bugs, fly in from outside. Smoky brown roaches love attic spaces and are drawn to lights.
Each species requires specific treatment methods. German roaches don’t respond to granular baits but love gel baits placed in their hiding spots. American cockroaches need exterior treatment to stop outdoor populations from migrating inside.
Our comprehensive approach covers residential and commercial properties throughout Tommytown. We provide termite inspections, rodent control, and quarterly prevention programs. Military families and new homeowners receive special discounts because we believe everyone deserves a pest-free home.
German roaches require professional gel baits placed directly in their hiding spots, not sprays or granular baits. These roaches hide in cracks behind appliances, inside cabinets, and around plumbing where DIY products can’t reach effectively.
Professional gel baits work because roaches take the bait back to their nests, eliminating entire colonies including the ones you never see. We also use insect growth regulators to break their reproduction cycle, which is critical since a single female can lay 400 eggs in her lifetime.
The key is targeting their harborage areas with precision. German roaches don’t respond to broadcast treatments the way other species do, which is why professional identification and targeted placement makes all the difference.
Even spotless homes get roaches because cleanliness alone doesn’t prevent entry. Roaches squeeze through tiny cracks around pipes, doors, and windows. They hitchhike in grocery bags, cardboard boxes, and even on used furniture.
German roaches often arrive hidden in deliveries or items brought inside. Once they’re in, they find moisture sources like leaky pipes under sinks or condensation around appliances. They’ll eat soap, glue, even toothpaste if food isn’t available.
Florida’s warm, humid climate means roaches stay active year-round, constantly seeking indoor shelter. Your clean home actually becomes more attractive because it offers water sources and hiding spots without competition from other pests or debris.
“Water bug” is just a polite name for American cockroaches, those large reddish-brown roaches Floridians call palmetto bugs. True water bugs are aquatic insects that live in ponds and streams, not in your house.
American cockroaches love damp areas like basements, crawl spaces, and around water heaters. They’re excellent fliers and often enter homes through attic vents or when attracted to outdoor lights. These are the big roaches that can grow up to 2 inches long.
Don’t let the name fool you. Whether you call them water bugs, palmetto bugs, or cockroaches, they’re all the same pest that needs professional treatment. They breed outdoors but regularly invade Tommytown homes seeking food and shelter.
Prevention starts with eliminating entry points and removing attractants. Seal cracks around pipes, repair damaged weather stripping, and fix leaky faucets that provide water sources. Store all food in airtight containers, including pet food which roaches love.
Clean up crumbs immediately and don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight. Take out garbage regularly and keep trash cans identifyed. Roaches are drawn to grease buildup around stoves and food debris in hard-to-reach places.
Professional quarterly treatments create barriers that stop new roaches from establishing colonies. We treat exterior entry points and place monitoring stations that catch problems before they become infestations. Regular professional maintenance is the most reliable way to keep your Tommytown kitchen roach-free long-term.
DIY methods rarely eliminate established roach infestations because store-bought products can’t reach hidden nests or break reproduction cycles effectively. Roaches hide behind walls, inside appliances, and in cracks where sprays and baits can’t penetrate.
Professional treatment uses targeted gel baits and insect growth regulators not available to consumers. We know exactly where each species hides and how they behave. German roaches require different treatment than American cockroaches or smoky browns.
If you’re seeing roaches regularly, especially during daytime, you likely have a significant infestation that needs professional intervention. The longer you wait, the harder and more expensive elimination becomes. Professional treatment saves time, money, and frustration in the long run.
We respond to all calls within 24 hours, often much sooner. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner who answers calls personally, even on weekends. Most quotes are provided over the phone for immediate peace of mind.
Emergency roach situations get priority scheduling because we understand how stressful and embarrassing these infestations can be. You shouldn’t have to live with roaches while waiting days for an appointment.
Our 24/7 availability means you can reach us anytime, and we’ll arrange service as quickly as possible. Tommytown residents appreciate our fast response times and personal attention that larger companies simply can’t match.
