Got Roaches?

Don’t Let Cockroaches Take Over Your Home


Few pests are more disturbing than cockroaches. They’re fast, filthy, and often difficult to eliminate without professional help. Roaches thrive in warm, humid environments—making local homes prime targets.

Cockroaches carry bacteria, trigger allergies, and contaminate surfaces and food. They’re nocturnal and often hide in walls, kitchens, bathrooms, and garages—multiplying quickly once they gain a foothold. If you’re seeing even one, it’s a strong sign of a deeper infestation.


Roaches aren’t just unpleasant—they’re a health hazard. Let Seabreeze Pest Control help you take your home back with fast, effective, and family-safe service.


Common Cockroach Species in the Tri-County Area


The Tri-County area's climate supports several types of cockroaches, including:


German Cockroaches: The most common indoor roach. Small, light brown, and extremely fast breeders. Found in kitchens, bathrooms, and appliances.

American Cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs): Large, reddish-brown roaches that often live in sewer systems and enter homes through drains or gaps.

Smokybrown Cockroaches: Similar in size to American roaches, these are attracted to light and moisture, often found in attics or around exterior lights.


Each species requires a different approach—something that generic DIY methods often fail to deliver.


Why DIY Roach Treatments Fall Short


Cockroaches are notoriously resilient. DIY sprays, gels, and traps may kill a few visible pests, but they don’t address hidden nests or long-term prevention. Most store-bought solutions:


  Only affect adult roaches, leaving eggs to hatch later

  Don’t reach inside walls or hard-to-access nesting sites

  Fail to stop re-infestation from outside the home


Without professional intervention, a small roach issue can become a large-scale infestation in weeks.


Seabreeze Pest Control’s 3-Step Roach Elimination Process


At Seabreeze Pest Control, we use a proven process designed to eliminate cockroaches quickly and keep them from coming back:


1. Detailed Inspection


We examine your home top to bottom—looking in cabinets, crawl spaces, behind appliances, and under sinks—to identify hot spots, entry points, and signs of breeding activity.


2. Customized, Family-Safe Treatment


Based on your home’s unique needs, we apply targeted bait systems, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and perimeter treatments that are safe for children and pets—yet deadly to roaches at every stage of life.


3. Long-Term Prevention


We don’t just treat the symptoms—we attack the source. Our team seals access points, provides expert advice on sanitation and moisture control, and sets you up with recurring protection if needed.


Homeowner Tips to Prevent Future Roach Infestations


Once your home is roach-free, here are some steps you can take to help keep it that way:


  Keep kitchens and bathrooms clean and dry

  Store food in airtight containers

  Fix leaky pipes and faucets

  Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and plumbing

  Take out trash regularly and use sealed bins

  Don’t leave pet food out overnight


Roaches are drawn to warmth, moisture, and food. Removing these attractants can go a long way in preventing re-infestation.
