Roach control that hits the source
Roaches breed fast and hide in the places you can't reach. Our program targets nesting sites and travel paths so the whole population collapses — not just the ones you see.
German roach specialists
Kitchen and bathroom German roach infestations need precise baiting and follow-up — our specialty, done right.
Palmetto bug control
American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) get in from outside. We treat entry points, harborage, and the perimeter.
Source-based baiting
We bait and treat where roaches nest and feed, so the colony carries it back — far more effective than surface sprays.
Recurring protection
Florida's climate keeps roaches active year-round, so recurring service keeps them from re-establishing.

From tiny German roaches to big palmetto bugs, we treat every species that invades Orlando homes. Learn how to get rid of cockroaches in Florida or why German cockroaches are so hard to eliminate.
Central Florida pest control calendar
Our climate keeps pests active all year — but the pressure shifts by season. Here's what we watch for and treat month to month across the Orlando metro.
Spring
- Ants
- Termite swarmers
- Wasps
- Mosquitoes
Warm, wet weather triggers ant trails and termite swarms — the ideal time to start prevention.
Summer
- Mosquitoes
- Palmetto bugs
- Fire ants
- Fleas
Peak Florida pest season. Humidity and rain drive roaches and mosquitoes indoors and out.
Fall
- Rodents
- Spiders
- Cockroaches
- Earwigs
As nights cool, rodents and roaches look for a warm way inside. Seal-up and perimeter work matter most.
Winter
- Rodents
- German roaches
- Silverfish
- Spiders
Pests don't disappear here — they move indoors. Recurring service keeps them from settling in.
Why roaches keep coming back
Store-bought sprays scatter roaches and kill a few on contact, but they never reach the nest — so the infestation rebounds. We treat where roaches actually live and breed, then protect the entry points so new ones can't move in.

Cockroach control FAQ
German roaches need targeted gel baiting and follow-up, not just spraying. We treat the harborage areas in kitchens and bathrooms, then return to break the breeding cycle. Most cases clear within a few visits.
“Palmetto bug” is the Florida nickname for large cockroaches, usually the American cockroach. They're the same family of pest and we treat for all of them.
It depends on the severity and the type of roach. After a free inspection we'll give you a no-obligation quote. Call 407-713-7853 to get started.
Yes. We use targeted baiting and lower-toxicity products placed where roaches travel, not broad blanket applications, and offer natural options for homes with kids and pets.
