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.

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.
