You’ll sleep better knowing those roaches are gone—permanently. No more jumping when you flip on the kitchen light. No more worrying about what your guests might see.
Our treatments don’t just kill the roaches you can see. We eliminate the hidden colonies, destroy their breeding cycles, and identify the entry points they use to get back in.
Within days, you’ll notice the difference. Within weeks, you’ll have your peace of mind back. That’s what happens when you work with professionals who understand how roaches actually behave in North Brooksville’s climate.
We’ve been solving North Brooksville’s toughest roach problems for over 14 years at Around The Clock Pest Service. We’re not a call center or franchise—you work directly with the owner on every service call.
That means faster decisions, honest communication, and someone who actually cares about getting your problem solved right the first time. We’re available 24/7, even weekends, because roaches don’t keep business hours.
Our state certifications and BBB accreditation back up what our customers already know: we’re the local experts North Brooksville families trust when roaches become a real problem.
First, we identify exactly which species you’re dealing with. German roaches need different treatment than American cockroaches or palmetto bugs. Getting this wrong is why DIY methods fail.
Next, we locate their hiding spots and breeding areas. Roaches don’t just live where you see them—they nest behind appliances, inside wall voids, and in places most people never check.
Then we apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire colony. We use professional-grade baits and growth regulators that roaches carry back to their nests, wiping out the population at the source. Follow-up treatments ensure we catch the next generation before they can reproduce.

North Brooksville’s warm, humid climate creates perfect conditions for multiple roach species. German roaches multiply rapidly indoors, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. American cockroaches—the big “palmetto bugs”—invade from outside during Florida’s rainy season.
Each species requires specific treatment methods. German roaches respond to bait stations and growth regulators placed behind outlets and appliances. American cockroaches need exterior perimeter treatments and entry point identifying.
We also handle Florida woods cockroaches, Oriental cockroaches, and the smokybrown roaches that North Brooksville residents commonly mistake for water bugs. Our treatments are safe for families and pets while being lethal to roaches at every life stage.
Clean houses get roaches too, especially in North Brooksville’s humid climate. Roaches aren’t just attracted to dirty conditions—they need water, warmth, and shelter, which every home provides.
German roaches often arrive in grocery bags or cardboard boxes. American cockroaches get flooded out of mulch beds and storm drains during heavy rains, then seek shelter indoors. Even small amounts of pet food, crumbs, or moisture around pipes can sustain a growing population.
The key isn’t perfect cleanliness—it’s professional treatment that eliminates the colony and prevents new ones from establishing. That’s why you’re seeing them despite keeping a clean home.
Professional bait treatments are the fastest effective method for German roaches. Unlike sprays that only kill what you see, baits eliminate the entire colony within days.
German roaches are social insects that share food. When they consume professional-grade baits, they carry the active ingredient back to their hiding spots, where it spreads to the entire population. Growth regulators prevent juveniles from reaching reproductive maturity.
Store-bought sprays and foggers actually make the problem worse by scattering roaches throughout your home. Professional treatments target their biology and behavior patterns, which is why they work so much faster than DIY methods.
In North Brooksville, what most people call “water bugs” are actually American cockroaches—the large, reddish-brown roaches also known as palmetto bugs. True water bugs are aquatic insects that live on water surfaces.
American cockroaches prefer moist areas, which is why they’re often found near drains, pipes, and humid spaces. But they’re definitely roaches, not water bugs. They can grow up to 2 inches long and are strong fliers, especially during warm weather.
The confusion comes from their habitat preferences and the fact that many people prefer saying “water bug” instead of “cockroach.” Regardless of what you call them, they require professional treatment to eliminate effectively.
Kitchen prevention starts with eliminating water sources and food access. Fix leaky faucets, wipe down counters nightly, and store food in identifyed containers. Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
Seal cracks around pipes, outlets, and appliances where roaches hide during the day. German roaches especially love the warm, humid areas behind dishwashers and refrigerators. Clean behind and under appliances regularly.
However, prevention alone isn’t enough if you already have roaches. North Brooksville’s climate means roaches are constantly trying to get indoors. Professional treatment combined with these prevention steps gives you the best long-term protection.
Yes, but palmetto bugs (American cockroaches) require different treatments than smaller indoor roaches. They primarily live outside and invade homes seasonally, especially during Florida’s summer rainy season.
Effective palmetto bug control combines exterior perimeter treatments, entry point identifying, and interior monitoring stations. We treat mulch beds, foundation areas, and other outdoor harborage sites where they breed.
Interior treatments focus on likely entry points—around doors, windows, pipes, and utility penetrations. Since palmetto bugs are larger and more mobile than German roaches, the treatment strategy emphasizes exclusion and exterior population reduction rather than just interior baiting.
You’ll typically see fewer roaches within 3-5 days, with significant reduction within two weeks. Complete elimination usually takes 4-6 weeks, depending on the species and infestation severity.
German roaches respond fastest because they readily consume baits and share them with the colony. American cockroaches take longer because they’re larger, more mobile, and primarily live outdoors. Multiple treatments are often necessary to catch newly hatched roaches.
The timeline also depends on your cooperation with preparation instructions and ongoing prevention measures. Homes with severe moisture issues or abundant food sources may require additional time and treatments to achieve complete control.
