The Sewer Assassin — stopping palmetto bugs and drain flies at the source.
Most palmetto bugs don’t come from your kitchen — they come up from the sewer and drain lines. Bugsy’s installs the Sewer Assassin, a device set right in your sewer cleanout that kills sewer-born roaches and drain flies before they ever reach your home. Licensed, veteran-owned, local.
Why you keep seeing palmetto bugs — even in a clean home
The big roaches South Floridians call palmetto bugs are American roaches, and they overwhelmingly breed in the warm, damp dark of the sewer and storm-drain system. From there they travel up your main line and slip in through drains, cleanouts, and plumbing gaps — which is why a spotless kitchen still gets them, especially after heavy rain.
Spraying inside only treats the roaches you can see. It doesn’t touch the source in the line, so they keep coming back. To actually stop them, you have to intercept them where they’re coming from.
How the Sewer Assassin works
The Sewer Assassin is a specialized device installed directly in your sewer cleanout. Inside sits a treated strip that fills the line with a vapor lethal to roaches and drain flies but sealed away from your living space. Sewer-born pests moving up the line hit that barrier and are killed before they ever reach the home.
It sits flush in the ground outside, is completely out of the way, and needs almost nothing from you — our technicians refresh the strip about once a quarter as part of your service. Set it once, and the source is handled year-round.
What the Sewer Assassin stops
American Roaches (Palmetto Bugs)
The large roaches that surge up from sewers and drains after rain — intercepted in the line before they reach your kitchen, garage, or bathrooms.
Drain & Sewer Flies
The small moth-like flies that breed in drain and sewer gunk are knocked down at the source, not just swatted at the sink.
Source-Level Control
Instead of chasing the roaches you see inside, it treats where they actually come from — the sewer line — for results that last.
Hands-Off, Year-Round
Installed once, refreshed quarterly by our techs. No traps to empty, nothing indoors, no ongoing effort from you.
Palmetto bugs surging after every rain? The problem is in your line, not your kitchen.
Heavy South Florida rains flush American roaches up out of the sewer system. The Sewer Assassin meets them in the cleanout — the one place spraying inside can never reach.
