Cockroach Control in Jacksonville, FL

Cockroach Control built for Jacksonville homes

Jacksonville sits along the St. Johns River, Florida's longest river at roughly 310 miles, and the low, flat terrain and poorly drained sandy soils that characterize Duval County create ideal conditions for American cockroaches year-round. Locally called palmetto bugs, these insects thrive in the moisture that accumulates around exterior plumbing, garage slabs and foundation gaps. The wet season runs June through September, with June and September delivering the heaviest rainfall, and that sustained ground saturation drives cockroaches out of drains, utility corridors and damp exterior voids and into living spaces. December through February cold snaps push them further inside rather than killing them off. German cockroach infestations are a separate specialty service. Because pressure does not simply stop between seasons, an ongoing program is what keeps outdoor cockroaches from cycling back into Jacksonville homes month after month.
