The Unwanted Guests: Food and Water Sources


Palmetto bugs are always on the lookout for their next meal, and your home may be their all-you-can-eat buffet. These pests are attracted to crumbs, garbage, pet food, and even soap or toothpaste. Leaky pipes, spills, and standing water in sinks, tubs, and toilets can also provide a source of hydration for these pests. It's time to take back control of your home and ensure that these unwanted guests don't have a reason to stick around.


The Gross Habitat: Moist and Dark Environments


Palmetto bugs are attracted to moist and dark environments, which provide the perfect habitat for these pests to thrive. Poor ventilation, piles of clutter, and basements and crawl spaces that stay damp can all be inviting to these pests. It's time to take a stand and create an environment that's not suitable for these gross pests.







The Easy Way In: Gaps and Cracks


Gaps around windows and doors, cracks in the foundation, and other openings in the home can provide an easy way for palmetto bugs to get inside. These pests are excellent climbers and can squeeze through incredibly small spaces, making it easy for them to find their way into your home. It's time to take action and prevent these pests from taking advantage of these weaknesses in your home.


Say Goodbye to Gross Palmetto Bugs Forever


It's time to take back control of your home and say goodbye to these gross palmetto bugs forever. Keep the environment clean and dry, repair any leaks or moisture problems, and seal any cracks or gaps in the home's exterior. If you're struggling to get rid of these pests on your own, don't hesitate to reach out to Insect IQ. Our experienced technicians will provide a thorough inspection of your home and develop a customized treatment plan to get rid of these pests once and for all. Say goodbye to the disgust and frustration of palmetto bugs invading your home.
