Let’s be real: seeing roaches in your kitchen at 2 AM isn’t just gross—it’s a sign you’ve got a breeding population hiding somewhere. One ant trail means there are thousands more in the walls. That spider in the corner? It’s there because it’s catching something you haven’t seen yet.
We’re Bugsy’s Pest Solutions, and we’ve been protecting homes across Palm Beach and Broward Counties since our founding by Marine Corps veteran Zach Bernstein. We don’t just spray baseboards and call it done. We find where pests are getting in, eliminate the population, and set up defenses so they don’t come back.
Call 561-654-8998 or schedule online. We’ll inspect your home, explain exactly what you’re dealing with, and give you a plan with upfront pricing.
Why South Florida Homes Face Constant Pest Pressure
Here’s the thing—our climate is a pest magnet. Here’s why you’re fighting an uphill battle:
No winter die-off– Up north, freezing temps kill off pest populations every year. In South Florida? Roaches, ants, and mosquitoes breed nonstop. There’s no seasonal break.
Year-round humidity– 75%+ humidity means moisture everywhere—inside walls, under appliances, in attics. Roaches, silverfish, and rodents thrive in damp conditions.
Afternoon thunderstorms– Summer rains flood ant colonies and drive them indoors. Properties near the Intracoastal, canals, or retention ponds see extra ant and mosquito activity.
Older construction– Homes built in the ’70s and ’80s across Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach have settling foundations, cracked stucco, and gaps around plumbing penetrations. Every crack is an entry point.
Lush landscaping– Palm trees, dense shrubs, mulch beds, and irrigation systems create perfect harborage for ants, spiders, and rodents right outside your door.
Close proximity to nature– Properties backing up to preserves, golf courses, or the Everglades deal with wildlife pressure—raccoons, rats, and aggressive ant species that don’t exist in urban areas.
The Pests We Eliminate From South Florida Homes
German Cockroaches
If you see one German roach during the day, you’ve got hundreds hiding. These aren’t the big palmetto bugs wandering in from outside—German roaches live their entire life cycle inside your home, breeding in cabinets, appliances, and wall voids. By the time you’re seeing them in daylight, the population is out of control.
Our residential roach control services target these infestations at the source, eliminating breeding populations and preventing re-infestation. Learn more about our cockroach control methods.
American Cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs)
These are the big ones flying around your porch at night. They live outside in mulch, storm drains, and trees, but they wander indoors looking for food and moisture. One or two isn’t a crisis, but consistent sightings mean you’ve got conducive conditions they’re attracted to.
Ants (Ghost, White-Footed, Carpenter, Fire)
South Florida has some of the most persistent ant species in the country. Ghost ants form super-colonies with multiple queens—spray one trail and another pops up two feet away. White-footed ants do the same thing. Carpenter ants hollow out wood in attics and fascia boards. Fire ants turn your yard into a minefield.
Our residential ant control approach doesn’t just kill what you see—we track down the entire colony and eliminate it. Check out our complete ant control services.
Rodents (Roof Rats & Mice)
Roof rats are everywhere in South Florida—climbing trees, running along power lines, and squeezing through holes the size of a quarter. Once they’re in your attic, they shred insulation, chew wires, and leave droppings everywhere. You’ll hear scratching at night and smell the urine during the day.
We handle rodent problems with exclusion, trapping, and sanitation. See how we tackle rat control and extermination.
Spiders (Black Widows, Brown Widows, Wolf Spiders)
Most spiders are harmless, but black widows and brown widows hide in garages, sheds, and outdoor furniture. Wolf spiders are huge and scary but non-aggressive. If you’re seeing lots of spiders indoors, it means they’re catching other bugs—you’ve got a food source problem.
Our spider control services address both the spiders and what’s attracting them.
Silverfish
These creepy little bugs love humidity and feed on paper, cardboard, and fabrics. They hide in bathrooms, closets, and storage boxes. If you’ve got silverfish, you’ve probably got a moisture issue.
Fleas
Fleas don’t just come from pets—wildlife like raccoons and possums drop them in your yard, and they hitch rides indoors. Once they’re inside, they breed in carpets and furniture. You’ll see bites on ankles and lower legs before you ever spot a flea.
We offer effective flea control and extermination that breaks the breeding cycle.
Mosquitoes
Standing water is everywhere in South Florida—clogged gutters, plant saucers, birdbaths, kiddie pools. Female mosquitoes lay eggs in anything holding water for more than 3 days. Properties near retention ponds or canals face constant pressure.
Our mosquito control treatments knock down populations and prevent breeding.
Bees & Wasps
Honeybees, carpenter bees, paper wasps, and yellow jackets all nest around South Florida homes. Bees need safe removal and relocation. Wasps are aggressive and need immediate treatment if they’re near entry points or play areas.
We provide safe bee removal and wasp control services.
Termites
We’ve got a dedicated termite control program because South Florida termites are relentless. Subterranean and drywood species cause billions in damage annually. If you’ve got mud tubes or swarmers, don’t wait—call immediately.

How Our Residential Pest Control Works
1. Full Property Inspection
We inspect inside and out—attics, crawl spaces, garages, kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping, and exterior perimeter. We identify active infestations, entry points, moisture problems, and conducive conditions attracting pests.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Not every home needs the same treatment. We target the specific pests you’re dealing with using the right products in the right places. Interior treatments focus on cracks, crevices, and harborage areas. Exterior treatments create a barrier around your foundation, windows, doors, and utility penetrations.
3. Exclusion & Prevention
Pesticides kill what’s there—exclusion keeps new pests out. We identify gaps, cracks, and entry points, then recommend sealing them. Simple fixes like door sweeps, screen repairs, and caulking make a huge difference.
4. Ongoing Protection
Pest control isn’t one-and-done in South Florida. Our quarterly service keeps your home protected year-round. We treat the exterior perimeter, monitor for new activity, and adjust treatments based on seasonal pest pressure.
Our Residential Pest Control Plans
One-Time Treatment
Got a sudden problem? We’ll inspect, identify the pest, and eliminate it. This works for isolated issues like a wasp nest or a single rodent, but ongoing infestations need recurring treatments.
Quarterly Pest Control (Most Popular)
We treat your property every 3 months—once per season. This keeps populations under control before they explode. Most South Florida homes need quarterly service minimum because pests breed year-round.
Check out our Diamond Package, Gold Package, and Platinum Package options.
Monthly Service
Properties with persistent pressure—near water, backing up to preserves, or with chronic moisture issues—benefit from monthly treatments. We stay ahead of infestations instead of reacting to them.
Our Gold Plus plan offers monthly protection for homes that need it.
Custom Plans
Every home is different. We’ll build a plan based on your property’s unique pest pressure, budget, and needs. View all our service packages.
