Why Davie Properties See So Many Palmetto Bugs
On Davie's larger lots, palmetto bugs harbor outdoors in sheds, woodpiles, mulch, and the vegetation along the canals, then move toward the house after dark. Garages, enclosed porches, and outbuildings give them easy staging spots before they slip inside.
German cockroaches are a separate, indoor problem, breeding in warm, damp kitchens and bathrooms out of sight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do palmetto bugs bite?
Palmetto bugs rarely bite and are not aggressive toward people or pets, so they are more of a nuisance and a contamination risk than a danger. They can carry bacteria across surfaces and trigger allergies, which is reason enough to keep them out. In Davie, they are the large roaches that wander in from sheds, woodpiles, and the landscaping. We treat the outdoor harborage, so fewer ever make it inside.
What attracts palmetto bugs to my property?
Palmetto bugs are drawn to moisture, decaying plant matter, and shelter, which Davie's mulch beds, woodpiles, sheds, and canal-side vegetation provide year-round. Outdoor lighting near doors and damp areas around the foundation pulls them closer to the house. Reducing harborage and fixing moisture make a property far less inviting. We treat those areas and seal the common entry points.
Why are there roaches around my shed and woodpile?
Sheds, woodpiles, and outbuildings provide the warmth, moisture, and dark cover that palmetto bugs look for, making them prime harborage on larger Davie lots. From there, they move toward the house, especially after rain or as nights cool. Getting woodpiles off the ground and clearing debris reduces the population. We treat the structures and the perimeter so fewer reach your living space.
What is the difference between the roaches outside and the ones inside?
The big roaches outdoors are palmetto bugs, which live in landscaping and wander in, while the small roaches that infest kitchens and bathrooms are usually German cockroaches, which breed indoors. They call for different treatments, which is why we first identify what you have. Outdoor harborage work addresses palmetto bugs, and our German cockroach treatment targets indoor breeders. Most properties benefit from both.
Is your cockroach treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes, and that is the whole reason we built this company. We choose roach products that are effective yet safe to use around children and pets, and your technician explains when it is safe to return to treated areas. Royal Pest & Termite is named after the owner's dog, so this is personal for us. If it is not safe enough for our pets, it does not go in your home.
How fast can you come out?
We usually schedule Davie inspections within one to three business days and move up urgent roach problems when we can. Tell us how heavy the activity is when you call. Same-week service is common.
