“I had Kevin come and treat my lawn for bugs and fertilizer. It looks amazing. He is very knowledgeable and thorough with his work and I would recommend him and Bug Master to all my neighbors. When he came last week he was able to add on mosquito treatment which I'm extremely happy about with all this rain. Highly satisfied. Thanks!”

The Most Common Cockroaches in Palm Harbor
Cockroaches are a common pest in the Tampa Bay area, especially in Palm Harbor. The warm and humid climate makes it an ideal environment for cockroach colonies to thrive indoors. Unfortunately, this means that many homeowners have had to deal with roach infestations at some point or another.
The most common cockroaches found in and around Palm Harbor include:
- German cockroach: This species of cockroach is one of the most common pests found inside homes throughout Florida. They’re small (1/2 - 5/8 inch long) brownish insects with two dark stripes on their backs. German Cockroaches reproduce quickly and can be difficult to get rid of without professional help.
- American cockroach: These large reddish-brown roaches (1 ½ – 2 inches long) are usually spotted outdoors but can also find their way indoors as well if conditions outside become too harsh or food sources become scarce. They feed on virtually anything organic, making them particularly difficult to control once they enter a home or business premises.
- Oriental cockroach: Also known as “waterbugs” due to their affinity for moist areas, these shiny black insects measure about 1 inch in length and can be found both indoors and outdoors. These roaches are usually attracted to decaying organic matter, but will also feed on other sources of food like pet food if given the chance.
