Hollywood runs from the sand on A1A west past Florida's Turnpike, and the pest problems shift as you move inland. A beachside condo, a 1920s Spanish-style house in Hollywood Lakes, a ranch home in Emerald Hills and a newer townhome off Sheridan Street each give pests a different way in. Here's how we approach each part of town.
Pest control near Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk: salt air and shared walls
Between the ocean and the Intracoastal, most people live in condos, rentals, older beach cottages and small motels turned into apartments, all packed close together. The restaurants along the Broadwalk have dumpsters, grease traps and delivery doors that draw American cockroaches and rats, and those pests don't respect property lines.
Inside a condo, German cockroaches are the call we get most. They ride in on grocery bags and boxes, then settle behind the refrigerator, in cabinet hinges and around the dishwasher. In a building they travel through plumbing chases and electrical runs, so we focus on your kitchen and bathrooms and on the gaps around pipes under the sink and behind the toilet that link your unit to the neighbors'. If the association wants trash rooms and common areas handled too, we set that up as commercial pest control.
Near the dunes, spiders build under balconies and around outdoor lights, and ghost ants trail along window frames. Coastal homes also get no-see-ums on still evenings: tiny biting midges that can come through ordinary window screens, so finer no-see-um screening helps. We can't treat the beach or the dune, but we can make your patio and entryways less inviting.
Hollywood Lakes and Downtown: character homes with more ways in
The neighborhoods near Young Circle and the Intracoastal still have plenty of homes from the 1920s and the decades after. They're beautiful, and they have the most entry points: original wood windows, gaps where the slab meets the stucco, settled door thresholds, gable vents, clay tile roofs and plumbing that's been redone more than once.
Roof rats are the big story here. Mature trees, palms and fruit trees grow close to the rooflines, and the canals give rats an easy route at night. Most people hear them first, around dusk or before dawn. Our rat and rodent control in Hollywood starts with the roofline, soffits, vents and AC line openings. We set traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, and we seal the gaps the rats are using with exclusion work to help keep them from getting back in, because a trapped rat gets replaced fast if the hole stays open. Just bought on the water? See the pest list for canal homes in Broward.
Downtown, around Hollywood Blvd, Harrison Street and ArtsPark, there are apartments over shops, restaurants and older multi-family buildings. For tenants and landlords there, the usual fight is German cockroaches moving through shared walls.
Pests in Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills: big trees and golf course edges
Emerald Hills has winding streets, large lots and big shade trees, with homes along the golf course and the lakes. Hollywood Hills mixes mid-century ranch homes with larger, heavily landscaped lots. In both, the calls we get most are roof rats, palmetto bugs and ants.
Big canopies and thick hedges keep the ground cool and damp, which American cockroaches love. They live in mulch, tree holes, sewers and irrigation boxes, then move indoors when heavy rain floods them out. Worn door sweeps and gaps around the garage door are where most of them get in, so we check those on every inspection.
Yards backing onto the golf course and the lakes also see more mosquitoes and fire ant mounds. We treat fire ant mounds and offer yard treatment for fleas and ants around the home. We don't treat turf or plants.
Pests around TY Park and Hollywood's west side
Topeekeegee Yugweekee Park, which most of us just call TY Park, anchors the west side with its lake, shady picnic areas and trails. The neighborhoods around it and farther west toward Pembroke Pines and Davie have single-family homes and townhomes built from the 1970s on, many with lakes, canals or swales out back.
Out here, mosquitoes and ants are the steady complaint. Pool cages collect spiders in the corners where lights draw insects at night. Townhome rows share walls and attics, so ants and roaches that start at one end can show up at the other. In a townhome we treat your unit and the perimeter you control, and we'll tell you plainly if the pressure looks like it's coming from next door.
West of US-441, newer subdivisions with fresh sod and young landscaping bring big-headed ants and fire ants, which trail inside along the slab edge. We go after the colonies outside and the trails inside instead of just wiping down baseboards.

Quarterly pest control vs. monthly service in Hollywood
You'll see companies pushing monthly pest control. We offer monthly plans too, plus any custom recurring schedule, but here's why most Hollywood homes start with quarterly.
For roaches, ants, spiders and the rest of the household lineup, our plan is quarterly: $125 per quarter, about $42 a month. That rhythm fits most Hollywood homes and condos, because the gap between visits is covered by our Bug Free Guarantee: "If pests come back between visits, so do we, at no extra cost." If you're a plan customer and roaches or ants turn up in week six, you call or text and we come back for a free re-service. You aren't paying for a visit every month just in case. If your place needs more frequent visits, like a busy rental or a restaurant-adjacent condo, we can set up a monthly plan or a custom schedule, priced after the inspection.
Mosquitoes are the exception. Outdoor treatments break down faster with South Florida sun and rain, which is why regular service matters, and mosquitoes keep hatching all through the wet months. That's why we recommend mosquito service monthly, especially in rainy season, on a schedule we can adjust to your property.
| Quarterly pest plan | Monthly mosquito plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Covers | Roaches, ants, spiders, silverfish and other household pests, inside and out | Adult mosquito resting areas, plus larval traps |
| How often | Every three months | Monthly, adjustable by season |
| Between visits | Free re-service if pests come back | Ask us about your schedule |
| Price | $125 per quarter (about $42/month) | Quoted after your free inspection |
No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees, just a simple service agreement.
How we treat Hollywood homes and condos
After 30+ years working in South Florida, we've found that results come from putting the right product in the right spot, not from coating every surface.
Step 1: A free inspection, explained in English or Spanish
We walk the outside of the home and check the garage, attic access, kitchen, bathrooms and anywhere you've seen activity. In a condo, we look at plumbing, cabinets and the gaps you share with neighbors. Then we explain what we found and what we'd do. Hablamos español.
Step 2: Inside, roach gel bait and crack-and-crevice treatment
German roaches hide in cabinet hinges, behind appliances, under sinks and in plumbing gaps. We place roach gel bait along the routes they travel and apply crack-and-crevice treatment right where they hide, with every product applied according to its label. Bait works best when you skip store-bought sprays, because they can repel roaches away from the bait.
Step 3: Outside, a band around the foundation
We treat a band around your foundation, usually 4 to 6 feet out, plus the lower foundation wall, and spot-treat entry points like door gaps, weep holes, window frames, pipe openings and eaves. That's the exterior barrier that keeps more palmetto bugs and ants from reaching the house.
Step 4: Rats, mice and mosquitoes
For rodents, we inspect for entry points, set traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, and seal the gaps rodents are using with exclusion work to help keep them from getting back in. Inside the home, we use traps and, only where the label allows, rodent bait placed out of reach of kids and pets. For mosquitoes, it's a professional mosquito barrier spray treatment with a backpack fogger, aimed at the shady spots where adults rest: under decks, along fences, behind the AC unit and in thick vegetation. We avoid flowering plants, and this is mosquito control, not plant care. We also look for standing water you can dump. For breeding spots around your home that can't be dumped, like containers, gutters and drains, we apply larvicide, and on monthly mosquito plans we add larval traps with a growth regulator, like birth control for mosquitoes. We don't treat the Intracoastal, canals or lakes.
Step 5: Covered between quarterly visits
Plan customers who see activity between scheduled visits just call or text, and we come back for a free re-service. Keep kids and pets off treated areas until dry, and follow your technician's instructions.
A local Airbnb host's story
A local Airbnb host owns three short-term rentals, in Miami, Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale, and pest problems had him losing business. Two of the properties had serious mosquito problems, and one had a bad roach problem. After the first treatments, he told us it was a night-and-day difference, and that he hadn't expected results that fast. He says we saved his Airbnb business. Since then he has bought more properties around South Florida, which we also service, and he tells us he recommends us to everyone he meets. Results vary by property and pest.
Pests after storms and king tides
East Hollywood floods in heavy rain and during the highest tides of the year, and the west side has its own low spots. Standing water means more mosquitoes about a week later, fire ants floating up in clumps, and palmetto bugs and rats heading for higher, drier ground, often your house or garage. See floating fire ants after flooding.
Pest control for Hollywood businesses and short-term rentals
Hollywood Blvd, Young Circle, the Broadwalk and the plazas along State Road 7 and Sheridan Street are full of restaurants, salons, offices and medical practices. They share the same weak spots: back doors propped open for deliveries, greasy dumpster pads, floor drains and cardboard stacked against storage room walls. Our commercial pest control visits are scheduled around your hours, and we go over what we found and treated so you know where things stand before an inspector or landlord asks.
Vacation rentals near the beach and seasonal homes closed up for the summer have their own risk. Drains dry out and let roaches and drain flies up from the pipes, and rats can move into an attic with nobody around to hear them. A quarterly visit keeps an eye on the place while you're gone, and a check between guests helps catch bed bugs or German cockroaches early. For long-term landlords, we also offer turnover service between tenants.
What you can do between visits
Pull mulch back a few inches from the foundation and trim branches off the roof. Dump plant saucers, buckets and toys after rain, and make sure gutters drain. Keep pet food and birdseed in sealed bins. Fix dripping faucets and AC condensate leaks, since roaches look for water first. Replace door sweeps when you can see daylight under the door. None of this replaces treatment, but it means fewer pests trying to get in.

Hollywood pest control FAQs
How much does pest control cost in Hollywood, FL?
We price after a FREE inspection, because a one-bedroom condo and a large Emerald Hills home are different jobs. New customers get $50 off the first service, with no code and no expiration. Ongoing protection is our quarterly plan at $125 per quarter, about $42 a month, with free re-service between visits if pests come back.
How often should you get pest control in South Florida?
Quarterly general pest service works for most Hollywood homes. Plan customers are covered between visits: if pests come back, so do we, at no extra cost. Mosquitoes are different. We recommend monthly mosquito service, especially in rainy season, because outdoor treatments break down faster with our sun and rain.
Is it normal to have roaches in a Florida house?
Seeing an occasional palmetto bug is common here. American and smokybrown roaches wander in from outside, especially after rain. German roaches are a different story: they breed indoors, so seeing them means an infestation that needs treatment. Learn to tell them apart in our German cockroach guide.
What's the hardest pest to get rid of in a Hollywood home?
German roaches and bed bugs top the list. Both hide deep in cracks and move between shared-wall condo units, and many store-bought sprays repel roaches and scatter them deeper into the walls. A plan built on baits, crack-and-crevice work and follow-up does better than spraying what you can see.
I live in a condo near Hollywood Beach. Can you help if my neighbors have roaches?
Yes. We treat your unit, focusing on the kitchen, bathrooms and the plumbing gaps that connect you to the units next door. If your building wants common areas or trash rooms treated, we can talk with the manager about commercial service for the association.
Do you have a contract, and do you speak Spanish?
There are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees, just a simple service agreement. And yes, hablamos español. Our team can walk you through the inspection and the treatment plan in Spanish, and this page is also available in Spanish.
