Cockroach Control in West Palm Beach

Edison Termite & Property Care — Cockroach Control services in West Palm Beach

Cockroach work in West Palm Beach means dealing with more than one species at the same time, usually. We treat for what's actually in the house, not a generic spray-and-leave. Indoor infestations and outdoor harborage both get addressed, because ignoring one brings the other back.

Which ones you get here

• German cockroach: Lives indoors only, breeds fast in kitchens and bathrooms, and needs baiting and crack-and-crevice work inside cabinets and behind appliances, not a perimeter spray.
• American cockroach (palmetto bug): Comes up through drains, sewer connections, and under slabs, so treatment has to cover plumbing penetrations and outdoor harborage like mulch beds and palm thatch, not just the kitchen.
• Smokybrown cockroach: Lives in trees, soffits, and attics and flies in through open doors and gaps under eaves, which means the exterior and roofline get treated, not just the baseboards.
• Asian cockroach: Looks like a German roach but lives in lawn and mulch outside and is drawn to light at night, so it needs a turf and landscape treatment, not indoor bait stations alone.

What cockroach control involves

1. Harborage identification: We find where they're actually nesting - under appliances, behind cabinet toe-kicks, in mulch beds, under soffits - before anything gets treated.
2. Interior crack-and-crevice: Bait and dust go into cracks, voids, and equipment gaps where roaches travel and hide, not just along the baseboards.
3. Exterior perimeter treatment: Mulch, foundation lines, and entry points get treated so outdoor populations stop feeding indoor ones.
4. Follow-up monitoring: We check bait uptake and activity on the next visit and adjust placement if roaches are still showing up in the same spots.

When you need it

• Seeing roaches moving around during the day, not just at night, which usually means the population indoors has gotten large.
• Small dark droppings that look like ground pepper or coffee grounds along cabinet edges or drawer tracks.
• Egg cases (oothecae) tucked behind the fridge, dishwasher, or stove - a sign they're breeding indoors, not just wandering in.
• Large roaches appearing in sinks or tubs, especially overnight, which points to American cockroaches coming up through drain lines.

What changes the job

Size of the job depends on what's feeding them and where they're hiding. A house with a lot of kitchen clutter, older plumbing, or mulch piled against the foundation takes more than a clean, well-sealed one. Multi-unit buildings with shared walls are harder, because roaches move between units regardless of what one homeowner does. Once cabinets and appliances get pulled out, we sometimes find nesting and droppings well beyond what was visible from the kitchen floor.
