Inspection & Roach Identification

We confirm whether you have German cockroaches breeding indoors or palmetto bugs coming in from outside, which surge in Hollywood through the warm months. We map the harborage and the entry points so we can both treat and prevent.

Targeted Treatment

We place professional gel baits and non-repellent products in indoor kitchen and bathroom voids, and treat harborage and entry points outside. The aim is to collapse any active population and close off the routes inside.

Prevention & Exclusion

We seal gaps, drains, and door sweeps and treat the perimeter so roaches stay out, not just for now but through palmetto bug season. Then we point out the issues to fix, like leaks, clutter, and food left out, and set a plan to keep them from recurring.

Why Palmetto Bugs Surge in Hollywood, and How to Keep Them Out

Palmetto bugs are worst in Hollywood, FL, through the warm, wet months, when they breed outdoors and push toward homes near the beach, downtown, and the lakes. Indoors, German cockroaches are a year-round problem, breeding out of sight in kitchens and bathrooms.

Keeping both outcomes down to treating any active population and sealing the gaps, drains, and door sweeps they use to get in.

Reviews From Hollywood Homeowners

"We haven't seen a cockroach since they started treating our home."

Excellent service! The owner and his crew are professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the treatment process while answering all of my questions. I highly recommend them.

Just had a No Tent Termite Service completed today. I live in Miramar and wanted to use a local company. I am very satisfied. The process began 2 weeks ago with their Sales Representative Aaron Wilton. I am in sales so I recognize a professional. He was knowledgeable and presented options clearly without pressure including attractive payment terms. The 2 techs who preformed the service were Greg and Michael who were polite, through and efficient. I would certainly recommend Royal Pest.

We recently had our home tented by Royal Pest & Termite, and Chris and his team truly exceeded our expectations. They communicated with us every step of the way and made the entire process smooth and stress‑free. Melissa at the main office was also incredibly helpful and always willing to...
We recently had our home tented by Royal Pest & Termite, and Chris and his team truly exceeded our expectations. They communicated with us every step of the way and made the entire process smooth and stress‑free. Melissa at the main office was also incredibly helpful and always willing to assist. We highly recommend Royal Pest & Termite for any tenting needs.

Southwest Ranches property means more bugs, but Royal Pest & Termite keeps termites and ants under control with their quarterly plan. Techs are respectful, thorough, and always on schedule. We've avoided major issues for over a year now. Reliable service for this area.
Chris is great, Aaron is great, Mike is great. Very good company and they take the organic approach to treating your lawn. They always pick up the phone and let you know what’s going on. They are honest and let you know that this will be a process. Can’t complain.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the palmetto bug season worst in Hollywood, FL?

Palmetto bugs are most active in the warm, wet months, roughly late spring through early fall, when heat and humidity push them to breed and move. That is when Hollywood homeowners near the beach, downtown, and the lakes notice them most, often at night. The large outdoor roaches are wandering in rather than living indoors. We treat the outdoor harborage and seal entry points ahead of and during the peak.

How do I keep roaches out of my house?

Cut off what draws them and close the ways in: fix leaks, store food in sealed containers, clear clutter and cardboard, and seal gaps around doors, drains, and plumbing. Keeping mulch and dense plantings back from the foundation helps reduce outdoor harborage. For indoor German cockroaches, our German cockroach treatment targets the harborage directly. A recurring plan keeps the pressure down through the seasons.

Why do roaches come out at night?

Roaches are mostly nocturnal, so they hide during the day in dark, warm, humid spots and come out after dark to look for food and water. Seeing them in daylight often means a larger population that is crowded out of its hiding spots. Either way, the fix is treating the harborage where they shelter. We find those spots during the inspection.

Why do I see roaches even though I keep a clean home?

A clean home helps, but palmetto bugs wander in from outside regardless, and German cockroaches can arrive on bags or boxes or from a neighboring unit. Once inside, even small amounts of moisture and crumbs are enough to sustain them. The real fix is treating the harborage and sealing entry points, not just cleaning. Our cockroach treatment handles both the indoor and outdoor sources.

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 Hollywood 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.
