"I am very happy with Southern Pest. After having several other pest companies, including the well known ones come to my home and tell me I had no termites, I almost couldn't believe what they were saying. They hardly spent any time here and disregarded anything I had to say. Fortunately I found Tyler with Southern Pest and he took the time to listen to me and identified the problem. Not only did I have termites but the infestation was massive. They immediately took action and treated my home completely. If you ever have a problem don't waste your time with any other company. I am so grateful to have found Tyler and crew at Southern Pest. Not only are they knowledgeable but great guys as well."

The timeline for removing cockroaches hinges on the roach species, how deep the infestation runs, and your chosen treatment. If you only spot a few bugs, a pro can often wipe them out in one to three days. A full-blown, house-wide outbreak often takes two to eight weeks, and the most severe cases may stretch to six months with several return visits. Your exterminator will inspect, treat, and follow up until every roach is gone, so you won’t be left guessing.
Yes—when you bring in a qualified pro and stick to the full treatment plan, you can kick roaches out for good. Your exterminator will hunt down hidden nests, apply targeted products, and schedule follow-ups to make sure no stragglers survive. Keep up with recommended maintenance visits and good housekeeping habits, and those pests won’t find their way back.
Prevention starts with everyday habits. Store pantry items in sealed containers, pick up pet food overnight, and fix drips that leave tempting water sources. Swap cardboard boxes for plastic bins and seal cracks to shut down entry points.
Schedule routine pest inspections so a small problem never has time to explode. Combine those steps and you’ll make your home far less inviting to roaches.
Start by sizing up your infestation and setting a realistic budget. Then ask each exterminator about licensing, insurance, and experience with roaches specifically. A reputable pro will inspect every hot spot, explain the treatment options, and give you a clear estimate before work begins.
Check online reviews and request references so you know the company delivers on its promises. The right expert should combine proven results with straightforward pricing.
