Cockroaches
At Pest Brothers, Inc., we believe that understanding common household pests is the first step toward prevention. Cockroaches are among the most widespread and resilient pests found in homes and businesses, with German and American species being two of the most common species. These insects thrive in warm, humid environments where food, water, and shelter are readily available. Beyond being an unwelcome sight, these pests can contaminate food and surfaces and may trigger allergies or asthma symptoms in sensitive individuals. Learning about their habits, habitats, and identifying characteristics can help you better understand and prevent infestations.

German Cockroaches: Small, Sneaky, and Difficult to Eliminate
German cockroaches are one of the most common household pests in Miami and throughout the country. Despite their small size, they can cause big problems. These pests are fast-moving, highly adaptable, and known to multiply quickly. These pests are particularly troublesome because they can live in hidden places and are notoriously difficult to eliminate once they’ve infested an area.
These insects are notorious for spreading diseases and triggering allergies. They thrive in areas where food is abundant and moisture is present, making kitchens and bathrooms the most frequent hiding spots in homes. If left unchecked, they can spread rapidly, creating a serious infestation that requires professional intervention.
Key Characteristics of German Cockroaches
- Size: German cockroaches are small, ranging from 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length.
- Color: They are light brown or tan, with two dark parallel stripes running down their backs.
- Behavior: These pests are highly social, living in large groups and reproducing quickly. A single female can produce hundreds of offspring in her lifetime, leading to rapid population growth.
- Common Hiding Spots: They prefer dark, damp areas like behind appliances, in cracks and crevices in cabinets, under sinks, and inside wall voids.
These cockroaches are nocturnal creatures, which means they only come out to forage at night, making it difficult for homeowners to spot them unless the infestation is severe. However, if you start noticing droppings, a musty odor, or the presence of discarded egg cases, it’s time to act fast.
Service that Speaks for Itself
American Cockroaches: Large and Hard to Ignore
American cockroaches, while larger and easier to spot than German species, can still cause significant issues in both residential and commercial settings. Often referred to as “palmetto bugs” in southern states like Florida, these pests are known for their size and ability to infest large areas.
They thrive in warm, humid environments, which is why they are commonly found in basements, sewers, and drains. They are also capable of spreading bacteria, pathogens, and allergens, which can compromise indoor air quality and trigger asthma and other respiratory conditions. Due to their size and behavior, these insects are not only a nuisance but a potential health hazard.

We couldn’t believe how many mice were getting into our home. From one small hole from the outside wall, they infested our walls. We were freaked out when we found so many mice! Thanks so much to Jose and Michael for quickly taking care of this gross situation!
– Alicia Regalado
No matter how many sprays we bought at Home Depot, we couldn’t get rid of the ants. They were everywhere, like in our cabinets, drawers and cupboards. My husband was recommended the Pest Brothers and I’m so glad he called. The ants are finally gone!
– Maria Hernandez
South Florida has plenty of mosquitos, but so often we felt that almost all those mosquitos made a living in our backyard. We couldn’t go outside for a BBQ or play catch without getting a swarm of mosquitos on us. With regular treatment with the Pest Brothers, it’s now under control. We can confidently refer them to anyone.
– Evan Hoffman
Yeah, I’m one of the screamers! When I see a roach, I get a little nauseous, angry and scared. And even though I keep my house super clean, I seemed to always have those huge Florida roaches with wings invading my space. And they are scary! They fly! Ugh. I called Pest Brothers and they took care of those nasty creatures and the roaches have NOT returned. Highly recommend their service.
