Palmetto bugs are a common pest in Georgia, and throughout the United States. “Palmetto bug” is actually a southern U.S. name for the American cockroach. While proper sanitation goes a long way to help prevent and get rid of palmetto bugs, having a roach infestation may not mean that your home or business is dirty. Excess moisture is one of the most common reasons why infestations happen. If you already have a serious infestation, we recommend getting professional help, using professional tools.
