Professional Cockroach Exterminators - Control - Removal
Spotting cockroaches in your property can be upsetting. Not only do they spread quickly but they are also challenging to catch and can carry harmful bacteria. Some species release a strong odor, triggering allergic reactions, including skin rashes or more serious symptoms. While not all roaches live indoors, those that do can be tough to remove. At Florida Pest Control, we offer trusted cockroach extermination backed by decades of experience.

Cockroach Removal for YOUR HOME
Residential Cockroach Extermination
Cockroaches are common in Florida, where heat and moisture help them thrive. They set up home wherever there’s easy access to food, water, and shelter, such as kitchens, bathrooms, crawl spaces, and garages.
Many homeowners don’t notice a cockroach infestation right away. By the time you start seeing them during the day, the problem may already be serious. Roaches can spread bacteria, trigger allergies, and leave behind droppings and strong odors. Some infestations can last for months if not treated properly. That’s where early residential cockroach extermination can make all the difference.
Florida Pest Control offers home cockroach control that targets roaches at every stage of their life cycle, from eggs to adults, so you can feel confident that the problem is being responsibly handled.
Protect Your Home From Cockroaches
No one wants to share their home with cockroaches. Since they are active at night and good at hiding, they can be difficult to find and remove. They crawl behind your walls, under sinks, and inside cabinets, creating nests out of reach of most store-bought sprays or traps.
If not treated early, an infestation may last for months. Roaches reproduce fast, and once they’ve settled in, they’re hard to stop without a professional cockroach exterminator. Roaches are known to carry germs, and their droppings may cause breathing problems in some people.
Florida Pest Control offers proven cockroach pest control that’s made for Florida homes. Here’s how our team can help:
- We inspect your home to find how roaches are getting in and where they’re hiding
- We use safe and effective cockroach control services to treat the infestation
- We offer tips on how to help avoid future issues
- We follow up as needed to make sure the problem stays under control

Cockroach Extermination for YOUR BUSINESS
Cockroach Identification
Florida is home to several common cockroach species, including the German, American, Asian, Australian, smokybrown, and Florida woods roaches. Sizes vary—some, like the German cockroach, are as small as 5/8 of an inch, while others, such as the American and smokybrown types (often called palmetto bugs), can grow up to two inches long.
About 69 known species exist in the U.S., although not all of them infest properties. While many share traits like flat, oval-shaped bodies with long legs and antennae, their appearance can differ quite a bit. Colors range from light brown to dark reddish-brown, and some, like the Australian or brown cockroach, have noticeable markings on their heads that help with identification.
Signs of a cockroach infestation include spotting droppings or egg cases or noticing a strong, musty odor caused by the scent they release.
How To Get Rid Of Cockroaches
To get rid of roaches, you need to treat the source. These steps can help:
- Seal gaps around windows, doors, and pipes
- Store food in airtight containers
- Clean up crumbs and spills quickly
- Fix leaks to remove water sources
Following these guidelines can help reduce roach activity, but for lasting results, roach control services from Florida Pest are your best option. Our experts know how to find and treat roaches wherever they hide.
Commercial Cockroach Extermination
Just one roach sighting can damage your reputation. Customers and staff expect clean, pest-free spaces. But roaches don’t need much to survive—just food, moisture, and shelter. That makes restaurants, schools, and offices common targets.
However, other concerns make cockroaches pests that professionals must deal with. Roaches can spread or cause illnesses such as food poisoning, tapeworms, and viruses.
Florida Pest has decades of experience in commercial cockroach extermination. Our technicians have been keeping commercial properties cockroach-free for over 75 years.
Keep Your Business Protected From Cockroaches
Staying compliant with health and safety standards can make or break a business. That includes maintaining hygiene and following best practices that help stop pests from entering your property. If roaches or other pests are discovered during a routine inspection, your business could face costly fines or temporary closure.
Our commercial cockroach control program will safeguard your business, helping to protect your property from unwanted guests. The process includes:
- Detailed inspections to identify activity and entry points
- Treatment using methods tailored to your building
- Regular monitoring to stop repeat infestations
- Support from local technicians who know your area
