Shireman Pest Control

We get lots of calls because people see “Palmetto” bugs in the home. 🪳Palmetto bugs are very common in Florida due to their love of humidity, they typically live in mulched areas and in landscaping but when things get to wet they try to find drier ground and this is when we will see them inside! Some interesting facts are they can be up to 2 inches long and even longer if you count their long tentacles, Although both male and females have wings they prefer to just scurry on the ground . You will commonly see them in the bathroom and kitchen sink area or tub because they will come in from under your home through the pipes (in a mobile home or crawl space area) We recommend doing an under spray at least twice a year to avoid this and perimeter sprays quarterly to not only stop Palmetto bugs but many other tupes of pests as well!! Give us a call to book your service before one of these get in your home and yes they are part of the roach family! 😬 813-713-5300
