Fort Lauderdale's older neighborhoods, from Victoria Park and Tarpon River to Lauderdale Manors and Riverland, have many homes built from the 1920s through the 1960s. Some are wood-frame bungalows on raised foundations, others are early block homes with original plumbing. Raised floors, old cast-iron drains and gaps around windows and doors give palmetto bugs easy access, and the city's sewer and storm systems carry them from block to block.
Waterfront homes have their own issue. Seawall landscaping, palms and boat storage give roaches shelter right next to the house, and garages full of marine gear make good hiding places. Downtown and around Las Olas, apartment and condo buildings face German cockroaches spreading between units, plus pressure from the restaurants and nightlife nearby.
What We Treat for Roach in Fort Lauderdale
- Palmetto bugs from sewers, drains and landscaping
- German cockroaches in apartments and condos
- Crawl spaces under raised bungalows
- Garages and boat storage on canal lots
- Old cast-iron plumbing and door gaps
How We Treat It
Raised bungalows get treated underneath where accessible, along with crawl-space vents and pipe entries. Early block homes get floor-drain and cleanout treatment and a perimeter application. Canal homes get the garage, boat storage and seawall plantings. Downtown apartments get gel baits and crack-and-crevice work for German roaches. In Sailboat Bend and Colee Hammock historic homes, we use targeted applications that won't stain original wood floors or plaster, and we check under old porches where palmetto bugs shelter.
Raised Bungalows and Crawl Spaces
In a raised wood-frame or early block bungalow, the space under the floor is where many roaches live. We treat that area where it's accessible, along with the vents and the openings where plumbing runs up into the house. We'll also point out vent screens that are torn or missing. In early block homes, we check floor drains and old cleanouts. Historic homes in Sailboat Bend and Colee Hammock often have wood floors, built-in cabinets and plaster walls with small cracks, so we use targeted treatments that don't damage original finishes.
Rain, Drains and Downtown Buildings
After heavy rain, Fort Lauderdale's storm drains and sewers fill and push palmetto bugs up and out. That's when you'll see them in bathrooms, garages and on porches. For downtown and Las Olas apartments, the problem is year-round German roaches moving through shared walls. We tailor the plan to which one you're dealing with, and quarterly service keeps the perimeter treated. If you rent out a garage apartment or guest cottage, include it in the plan so roaches don't shuttle between buildings.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
We inspect from the crawl space or garage to the kitchen, identify the roach and show you where it's coming in. Follow-ups for German roaches are booked before we leave. If you have a garage apartment or guest cottage, we include it.
