You’ll sleep better knowing those disgusting roaches are gone for good. No more jumping when you flip on the lights. No more embarrassment when guests come over. No more wondering if your family is getting sick from the bacteria they spread.
Professional roach control means targeting the source, not just the roaches you see. We eliminate the hidden colonies breeding behind your appliances and inside your walls. Within days, you’ll notice the difference—and within weeks, your home will be completely roach-free.
The relief is immediate, but the protection lasts. That’s what happens when you work with experts who understand exactly how these pests think and breed.
We’ve been protecting Moss Town families for over 14 years at Around The Clock Pest Service. Every client works directly with the owner—no middlemen, no corporate bureaucracy, just honest service from someone who lives in your community.
We’re the pest control company that answers our phone at 2 AM because we know roaches don’t keep business hours. Our state-certified technicians have seen every type of infestation Hernando County can throw at us, from German roaches in clean kitchens to massive palmetto bug invasions after Florida’s summer storms.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews tell the real story. Moss Town residents choose us because we show up when we say we will, charge what we quote, and don’t leave until the job is done right.
First, we identify exactly what species you’re dealing with. German roaches need different treatment than American cockroaches or palmetto bugs. Getting this wrong means wasted time and continued infestations.
Next, we apply professional-grade baiting systems in the areas where roaches actually live and breed. These aren’t the store-bought traps that barely work—we’re talking about targeted treatments that roaches carry back to their colonies, eliminating entire populations.
Finally, we identify entry points and provide you with a prevention plan that keeps them from coming back. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and when to call us for follow-up service.

Your roach control service includes everything needed to restore your home to a clean, healthy state. We don’t just kill the roaches—we clean up the mess they leave behind.
Our professional roach baiting targets the species common in Moss Town: German roaches that multiply rapidly in kitchens, American cockroaches that invade through plumbing, and palmetto bugs that fly in during Florida’s humid summers. Each requires specific treatment methods that most DIY approaches miss completely.
Moss Town’s location in Hernando County means year-round roach pressure. Our local expertise includes understanding how Florida’s climate affects roach behavior, which entry points are most vulnerable in homes built in this area, and what prevention strategies actually work in our humid environment. This isn’t generic pest control—it’s roach elimination designed specifically for your neighborhood.
Clean houses get roaches too, especially in Florida. Roaches aren’t just attracted to filth—they need water, warmth, and tiny amounts of food that exist in every home.
In Moss Town’s humid climate, roaches find moisture in places you’d never expect: under refrigerators, around air conditioning units, even in clean dishwashers. German roaches can survive on soap residue and toothpaste. American cockroaches enter through plumbing and sewer connections that have nothing to do with cleanliness.
Your clean house might actually be more attractive to roaches because it provides shelter without competition from other pests. The key is professional treatment that targets their actual needs, not just surface cleaning.
“Water bug” is usually just a polite name for an American cockroach or palmetto bug. True water bugs are aquatic insects that rarely enter homes.
What most Moss Town residents call water bugs are actually large cockroaches—typically American cockroaches that can grow up to 2 inches long. They’re attracted to moisture and often enter homes through drains, which is why people associate them with water.
These “water bugs” are still cockroaches that spread bacteria and reproduce rapidly. Calling them water bugs doesn’t make them less dangerous or easier to eliminate. Professional identification and treatment are essential regardless of what you call them.
Professional baiting systems eliminate German roaches faster than any DIY method. German roaches are the hardest species to kill because they reproduce so quickly and hide in areas sprays can’t reach.
The fastest approach combines targeted gel baits placed where German roaches actually travel—behind appliances, inside cabinets, along wall edges—with insect growth regulators that prevent reproduction. Store-bought sprays often make the problem worse by scattering roaches to new hiding spots.
In Moss Town’s climate, German roach infestations can explode from a few roaches to thousands in just weeks. Professional treatment stops this cycle immediately and eliminates the entire colony within days, not months of DIY attempts.
Roach prevention for Florida kitchens starts with moisture control and entry point identifying, but it’s more complex than most homeowners realize.
Seal gaps around plumbing, fix leaky faucets immediately, and store food in airtight containers. But Florida’s humidity means roaches can survive on moisture in your dishwasher, coffee maker, and even clean sinks. Professional-grade exclusion work targets the specific entry points common in Moss Town homes.
The most effective prevention combines these steps with quarterly professional treatments that create a barrier around your home. Roaches are constantly migrating in Florida’s climate—prevention means staying ahead of new invasions, not just cleaning up after they arrive.
Yes, but palmetto bugs require different treatment than smaller roaches. Palmetto bugs are large American cockroaches that fly and often invade in groups during Florida’s rainy season.
Standard roach sprays barely affect palmetto bugs because of their size and outdoor breeding habits. Professional treatment uses targeted baits and exterior perimeter applications that stop them before they enter your home. Interior treatments focus on the areas where palmetto bugs actually hide—not where homeowners think they should be.
Moss Town’s location means seasonal palmetto bug pressure from nearby wooded areas and water sources. Effective control requires understanding their migration patterns and treating both indoor infestations and outdoor breeding sites.
You’ll see results within 24-48 hours, but complete elimination takes 2-3 weeks depending on the infestation size and species involved.
Professional baiting systems work faster than sprays because roaches carry the treatment back to their colonies. German roaches typically show significant reduction within days, while larger species like American cockroaches may take slightly longer due to their different feeding and breeding patterns.
The timeline also depends on cooperation—identifying food sources and following prevention guidelines speeds up the process dramatically. Most Moss Town clients see their roach problems completely resolved within two weeks of professional treatment, with follow-up visits ensuring long-term control.
