Cockroach Control in Fort Myers, FL

Fast, Family-Friendly Solutions to Restore Comfort in Your Home

Seeing a cockroach in your home is more than unsettling—it can make you feel embarrassed, unsafe, or anxious about what you can’t see behind the walls. In Fort Myers, roaches are a year-round problem thanks to our warm, humid climate, and even the cleanest homes can experience sudden infestations.

At Paske Pest Control, we’re here to help you take back that sense of safety. Our local team understands the specific cockroach challenges Southwest Florida residents deal with, and we deliver fast, effective solutions with care, respect, and zero judgment.

Fort Myers Cockroach Problems: What Local Homeowners Should Know

Cockroaches thrive in warm, moist environments, making Fort Myers an ideal climate for several species, especially American cockroaches, German cockroaches, and Smokybrown roaches. Storm season, humidity spikes, and older home construction all contribute to activity around kitchens, bathrooms, attics, and plumbing lines.

Common local factors that contribute to infestations include:

• High year-round humidity
• Frequent rain and tropical moisture
• Older construction with plumbing voids or foundation gaps
• Dense vegetation and mulch around homes
• Increased activity during summer and storm season

Even if your home is spotless, roaches can sneak in through tiny cracks, drains, or delivery boxes—so you’re not alone.

Signs You Have Cockroaches in Your Home

Cockroaches are excellent at hiding. You may only see one, but it often means more are nearby. Look for:

• Small droppings that look like pepper flakes or coffee grounds
• Musty, oily odors, especially in kitchens or bathrooms
• Smear marks along baseboards or walls
• Egg cases (oothecae) around cabinets, appliances, or storage areas
• Shed skins or dead roaches, particularly in dark corners
• Nighttime sightings, especially when turning on a light unexpectedly

If you’re noticing two or more of these signs, it’s time to call a professional.

What to Do When You See a Cockroach

Finding a roach—especially in the middle of the night—is nerve-wracking. Here’s what to do next:

• Don’t panic. One roach doesn’t mean your home is dirty—these pests invade clean homes every day in Fort Myers.
• Avoid using store-bought foggers or sprays. They can scatter roaches deeper into walls and make infestations harder to eliminate.
• Clean the immediate area to remove crumbs, grease, or moisture.
• Take photos or note where you saw it, especially if it’s a repeated spot.
• Call a professional to prevent the problem from spreading. Cockroaches reproduce rapidly—early action saves time and stress.
