Roach Control in Miramar, FL for Older Block Homes and Newer Townhomes

Roach Control in Miramar

Miramar's roach problems split along the city's age line. In east Miramar, near US-441 and the older neighborhoods off Miramar Parkway, many homes are mid-century concrete block houses with original plumbing, worn thresholds and settled slabs. Palmetto bugs live in mulch, palms, storm drains and sewer lines and come up through drains and door gaps, especially after heavy rain.

Out west, the homes are newer, but rows of townhomes and villas share walls, attics and plumbing runs, and German cockroaches can move from one unit to the next. Irrigated landscaping and damp mulch beds in the gated communities keep smoky brown roaches and palmetto bugs close to the walls. Busy households can also bring German roaches home in grocery bags, boxes and used appliances.

Older Plumbing in East Miramar

In mid-century homes, dry floor drains, unused showers and cracked cleanout caps are common roach highways. We check them and tell you which to cap or keep filled with water. We also look at the gap between older door frames and the slab, which a new threshold or sweep usually fixes. In west Miramar townhomes, we look closely at the plumbing wall behind the kitchen and bathroom, where units connect.

Keeping Roaches Out Between Visits

Add door sweeps and replace worn garage seals. Keep mulch a few inches off the foundation. Store garage items in sealed bins, not cardboard. Run water in unused drains weekly. Inside, keep food sealed, take trash out often and fix leaks under sinks. Check boxes and used appliances before bringing them in.
