If You See One Cockroach, There Are Up to 400 More Hiding

Cockroaches are nocturnal and thrive in Florida's warm, humid conditions. For every roach you spot in daylight, entomologists estimate hundreds more are nesting behind walls, under appliances, and in dark crevices. In the Sunshine State, seeing even one is a sign of a serious, active infestation.

Roach-Free and Relieved

Real reviews from Florida homeowners who called PURCOR to eliminate their cockroach infestations.

"We had German roaches in the kitchen for months. With the Florida humidity, they were breeding like crazy. PURCOR came out, found the nest behind our dishwasher, and within two weeks they were completely gone."

"Found huge palmetto bugs coming up from the bathroom drains — classic Florida problem. PURCOR identified them as American cockroaches and sealed every entry point. The tech explained everything and even showed me how to prevent them. Haven't seen one since."

Jason T.

"I was embarrassed to have roaches. PURCOR was professional and zero judgment. They said in Florida it's extremely common and that German roaches have nothing to do with cleanliness — the heat and moisture just make it unavoidable. Total game changer."

"Had an issue between quarterly visits and they came out the very next morning — no charge. That guarantee is the real deal. My kids can play on the kitchen floor again without me panicking."

Cockroach Questions? We've Got Answers.

Very likely, yes. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in dark, tight spaces. Entomologists estimate that for every one roach seen during the day, there are up to 400 more hiding. A single sighting — especially during daylight — is a strong indicator of an established colony.
German cockroaches are smaller (about 1/2 inch), light brown with two dark stripes, and breed primarily indoors near heat and moisture. American cockroaches are much larger (up to 2 inches), reddish-brown, and typically enter from outside through drains, pipes, and gaps. Each species requires a different treatment strategy.
Over-the-counter sprays only kill roaches on contact — they don't reach the colony nesting behind walls and under appliances. Worse, they can scatter roaches to new areas of your home. Professional treatments use gel baits and insect growth regulators that roaches carry back to the colony, destroying it from the inside out.
Yes. We use targeted, low-impact gel baits placed in cracks, crevices, and hidden areas — not broadcast chemical sprays. Our methods are designed to be effective against roaches while minimizing exposure to your family and pets. Your technician will walk you through all safety precautions.
Most cockroach inspections are scheduled within 48 hours of your call. Because cockroaches reproduce so quickly, we prioritize roach calls. Call us at (321) 465-9680 — we're available 24/7.
No — and especially not in Florida. While sanitation helps, cockroaches can infest even spotlessly clean homes. Florida's warm, humid climate means roaches are active year-round. German cockroaches are commonly introduced through grocery bags, cardboard boxes, and secondhand appliances. American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) enter through plumbing and exterior gaps. It's not about cleanliness — it's about Florida's environment giving them easy access.
