You’ll sleep better knowing those disease-carrying pests are gone for good. No more jumping when you flip on the kitchen light at night. No more worrying about what your guests might see scurrying across the floor.
Our targeted treatments eliminate the roaches you see and the ones you don’t. We disrupt their breeding cycles, identify their entry points, and create a protective barrier around your Gulf Harbors home.
The result? A clean, healthy environment where your family can relax without the constant threat of roach encounters.
Around The Clock Pest Service brings decades of pest control expertise directly to Gulf Harbors families. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians.
We understand Gulf Harbors’ unique challenges. The humid Florida climate, the proximity to water, and the local construction styles all create specific roach pressure points that require local expertise.
Our state-certified team has earned over 100 five-star Google reviews by treating every Gulf Harbors home like our own. We answer every call personally and respond within 24 hours, even on weekends.
First, we inspect your Gulf Harbors property to identify roach species, entry points, and nesting areas. German roaches hide differently than palmetto bugs, and treatment must match the specific pest.
Next, we apply professional-grade baits and treatments to areas where roaches live and travel. These aren’t the sprays you buy at the store—our products eliminate entire colonies by targeting roaches at every life stage.
Finally, we identify entry points and create protective barriers around your home. We return for follow-up treatments to ensure complete elimination and provide ongoing monitoring to prevent future infestations.

Our Gulf Harbors roach control service addresses every species common to our area. German roaches that multiply rapidly in kitchens and bathrooms. American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) that fly in from outdoor areas. Brown-banded roaches that spread throughout homes.
Gulf Harbors’ waterfront location and Florida’s year-round warmth create perfect roach breeding conditions. Unlike northern climates where cold weather provides relief, Gulf Harbors residents face constant roach pressure. Our treatments account for this reality.
We use advanced baiting systems, crack and crevice treatments, and insect growth regulators specifically chosen for Florida’s roach species. Every treatment is safe for families and pets while being lethal to roaches at every life stage.
Even spotless Gulf Harbors homes attract roaches because these pests need water and shelter more than food. Florida’s humidity provides moisture, and roaches can survive a month without eating.
Common attractants in clean homes include leaky pipes under sinks, condensation around appliances, pet water bowls, and small entry points around doors and windows. Gulf Harbors’ proximity to water and dense vegetation creates additional roach pressure that has nothing to do with cleanliness.
Roaches also hitchhike into clean homes on grocery bags, packages, and used furniture. Once inside, they hide behind walls and in appliances where regular cleaning can’t reach them.
Professional baiting systems eliminate German roaches fastest because they target the entire colony, not just visible roaches. German roaches multiply extremely rapidly—laying 30-50 eggs every few weeks—so surface treatments only create temporary relief.
Our gel baits attract German roaches, who consume the poison and carry it back to their nests. This eliminates roaches you never see, including egg-carrying females. We combine baits with insect growth regulators that prevent young roaches from reaching reproductive maturity.
DIY sprays often make German roach problems worse by scattering the colony and causing more roaches to appear within days. Professional treatment addresses the source, not just the symptoms.
Kitchen roach prevention in Gulf Harbors requires controlling moisture, eliminating food sources, and identifying entry points. Fix any leaks under sinks immediately, as even small drips attract roaches from throughout your home.
Store all food in airtight glass or thick plastic containers—roaches easily chew through thin packaging and cardboard. Clean up spills immediately, especially behind appliances where moisture can accumulate. Remove pet food and water bowls overnight.
Seal gaps around pipes, electrical outlets, and cabinet edges with caulk. Check areas where appliances meet walls and floors. Professional treatment creates an additional protective barrier that home methods can’t achieve.
“Water bug” is often a local term for American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) in Gulf Harbors, but they’re the same pest. True water bugs are aquatic insects that live in ponds and streams, while “water bugs” in homes are actually large cockroaches attracted to moisture.
American cockroaches in Gulf Harbors can grow 2-3 inches long, are reddish-brown to black, and can fly. They’re often called water bugs because they’re found near sinks, bathrooms, and other moist areas. German cockroaches are smaller (½ inch) and lighter brown with dark stripes.
Both species require professional treatment because they reproduce rapidly and hide in areas homeowners can’t effectively treat. The treatment approach differs based on species behavior and nesting preferences.
Gulf Harbors businesses face unique roach challenges due to Florida’s climate and the area’s restaurant and hospitality industry. Commercial properties have multiple entry points, shared walls, and food service areas that create ideal roach conditions.
German roaches spread rapidly through commercial kitchens, while palmetto bugs enter through loading docks and storage areas. Employee break rooms, bathrooms, and food preparation areas require specialized treatment approaches that residential methods can’t address.
We provide discreet commercial roach removal that won’t disrupt business operations. Our treatments focus on source elimination rather than visible spraying, protecting your reputation while solving the problem permanently.
Professional roach baiting in Gulf Harbors typically shows results within 7-14 days, with complete elimination taking 2-4 weeks depending on infestation severity. You may initially see more roaches as the bait draws them out of hiding spots.
German roaches respond faster to baiting than palmetto bugs because they’re more social and share food sources. The bait works by eliminating egg-carrying females and disrupting the reproductive cycle, preventing new generations from developing.
Follow-up treatments ensure complete elimination because roach eggs can’t be killed by baits—they must hatch first. Our monitoring system tracks progress and adjusts treatment as needed until your Gulf Harbors home is completely roach-free.
