You’ll sleep better knowing those German roaches aren’t multiplying behind your appliances or spreading bacteria across your countertops. No more jumping every time you flip on the kitchen light at night.
Our targeted approach eliminates entire colonies, not just the roaches you can see. We identify exactly which species you’re dealing with—whether it’s German roaches hiding in your cabinets or palmetto bugs flying in from outside—then customize the treatment accordingly.
Within days, you’ll notice the difference. No more droppings in your drawers, no more roaches scattering when you open cabinet doors, and no more wondering if your clean house somehow attracted these pests.
We’ve been protecting New Port Richey East families from roach infestations with the kind of personal service you won’t get from the big chains. When you call, you talk directly to the owner—not a call center.
We’re state-certified and understand exactly how Florida’s humid climate creates perfect conditions for both German roaches and palmetto bugs. Every treatment is backed by over 100 five-star Google reviews from neighbors who’ve trusted us to solve their toughest pest problems.
You get honest quotes over the phone, same-day service when you need it, and the peace of mind that comes from working with professionals who’ve made pest control our family business.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection to identify exactly which roach species you’re dealing with and locate their hiding spots. German roaches behave differently than American cockroaches, so the treatment has to match the pest.
Next, we apply professional-grade baiting systems in strategic locations where roaches feed and travel. These baits work like a domino effect—roaches take the poison back to their nests and eliminate entire colonies, including the ones you never see.
Finally, we identify entry points and implement prevention strategies specific to your property. We’ll show you the moisture sources and food attractants that brought them in the first place, so you can keep them out for good.

Our roach control service covers everything from German roach infestations in residential kitchens to palmetto bug problems in commercial spaces. We use different treatment methods depending on whether you’re dealing with indoor German roaches or outdoor American cockroaches that migrate inside.
For New Port Richey East properties, we focus heavily on moisture control since Florida’s humidity creates ideal breeding conditions. We’ll identify leaky pipes, poor ventilation, and standing water sources that attract roaches to your property.
You’ll receive a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific roach species, property layout, and risk factors. Whether it’s a single-family home or a restaurant kitchen, we have the tools and expertise to eliminate the problem and prevent future infestations.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but they usually refer to the same pest. What people call “water bugs” in Florida are typically American cockroaches, also known as palmetto bugs.
These large, reddish-brown roaches can grow up to 2 inches long and are excellent swimmers, which is why they’re often found near water sources. True water bugs are aquatic insects that live in ponds and streams, not in your home.
If you’re seeing large, dark-colored insects in your bathroom, kitchen, or near plumbing, you’re likely dealing with American cockroaches that need professional treatment to eliminate effectively.
Even the cleanest homes can attract roaches, especially in Florida’s humid climate. German roaches can hitchhike into your home on grocery bags, packages, or used appliances, while palmetto bugs often migrate indoors during heavy rains or temperature changes.
New Port Richey East’s coastal location and warm weather create ideal conditions for roaches year-round. They’re attracted to moisture sources like leaky pipes, condensation from air conditioning, or even pet water bowls—not just food crumbs.
Once inside, roaches can find food sources you’d never expect, including pet food, book binding glue, soap residue, and even toothpaste. Professional treatment is often necessary because DIY methods typically only kill the roaches you can see, not the hidden colonies.
Professional gel baiting combined with insect growth regulators provides the fastest and most complete elimination. Unlike sprays that only kill roaches on contact, professional baits work like a chain reaction through the entire colony.
German roaches take the bait back to their hiding spots and share it with other roaches, including nymphs and egg-carrying females. This eliminates the breeding population, which is crucial since a single female German roach can produce hundreds of offspring.
The process typically shows results within 3-5 days, with complete elimination in 2-3 weeks when done properly. DIY sprays and home remedies often make the problem worse by causing roaches to scatter to new hiding spots throughout your home.
Start by eliminating moisture sources, which is critical in Florida’s humid environment. Fix leaky faucets, ensure proper ventilation, and wipe down surfaces after cooking to remove grease and food particles that attract roaches.
Store all food in airtight containers, including pet food, and clean up crumbs immediately. Pay special attention to areas under appliances where grease and food debris accumulate—these are prime German roach breeding spots.
Seal cracks around pipes, electrical outlets, and cabinet joints where roaches enter and hide. In New Port Richey East’s climate, regular professional inspections help catch problems before they become major infestations, especially during Florida’s rainy season when outdoor roaches migrate indoors.
Yes, palmetto bugs (American cockroaches) can carry harmful bacteria including Salmonella, E. coli, and other pathogens, though they’re generally less problematic than German roaches for disease transmission. They pick up bacteria as they crawl through sewers, garbage, and decaying organic matter.
The main health concern with palmetto bugs is their allergens. Their droppings, shed skins, and saliva contain proteins that trigger asthma and allergic reactions, especially in children and sensitive individuals.
While palmetto bugs prefer to live outdoors, they commonly invade New Port Richey East homes during heavy rains or when outdoor conditions become unsuitable. Professional treatment eliminates both the immediate health risks and prevents ongoing contamination of your living spaces.
Professional roach treatments typically provide 3-6 months of protection, but Florida’s humid climate and year-round pest activity often require more frequent service than drier regions. German roach treatments may need reapplication every 60-90 days for complete prevention.
The longevity depends on several factors: the severity of the initial infestation, your property’s moisture levels, and ongoing sanitation practices. Properties near water or with persistent humidity issues may need quarterly treatments to maintain protection.
We recommend ongoing monitoring even after successful treatment because New Port Richey East’s coastal environment means new roaches can migrate from neighboring properties or outdoor harborage areas. Regular professional inspections catch problems early before they become major infestations.
