Cockroach  Control in Lexington, SC – Lamp’s Pest Solutions

Common Cockroaches in Lexington, SC

Lexington’s climate, plumbing systems, and wooded neighborhoods make it a hotspot for several cockroach species:  Cockroaches are one of the most stubborn pests we deal with in Lexington. They thrive in the same conditions that attract ants and spiders, making infestations spread quickly if not treated.

​

• German Cockroaches – The most common indoor roach; small, light brown, and fast-breeding. Found in kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere with food and moisture.

• American Cockroaches (Palmetto Bugs) – Large roaches that sneak into bathrooms, garages, and crawl spaces. Common in older downtown Lexington homes.

• Smoky Brown Cockroaches – Attracted to attics, basements, and areas with high humidity. Often mistaken for palmetto bugs.

• Asian Cockroaches – Strong fliers, often found in grassy or wooded areas. Drawn to lights in the evening.

• Water Bugs – Often a local nickname for larger cockroaches that crawl up through drains or pipes.

• Palmetto Bugs – A common name for American roaches, especially in South Carolina.

Each type requires a different approach — which is why DIY sprays rarely solve the problem.

Why Roaches Thrive in Lexington

Several factors make Lexington a magnet for cockroaches:

• High Humidity – Perfect for roaches to breed, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.

• Older Plumbing – Downtown Lexington homes often deal with roaches sneaking in through drains and pipes.

• Lake Murray Climate – Warm, humid conditions create ideal breeding grounds.

• Food & Clutter – Roaches thrive where crumbs, pet food, or cardboard are available.

Neighborhoods like Red Bank, Oak Grove, and Lake Murray communities frequently report roach infestations.

Health Risks of Cockroach Infestations

Roaches are more than gross — they’re dangerous:

• Allergies & Asthma – Roach droppings and shed skins trigger asthma in children.

• Food Contamination – Roaches spread bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli.

• Rapid Infestation Growth – German roaches can produce thousands in just a few months.

The longer an infestation is ignored, the harder it becomes to eliminate.
Did you know German cockroaches are especially common in kitchens and bathrooms, where food scraps and water are available. These same areas often see issues with rodents, which also search for food at night.

A Local Story: German Roaches in Oak Grove

A family in Oak Grove called us after noticing roaches scattering every time they turned on the kitchen light. They had tried store-bought sprays, but the problem kept getting worse.

Our inspection revealed a severe German roach infestation in the kitchen cabinets and behind appliances. We performed a targeted treatment that included baiting, sealing entry points, and applying residual products in high-activity areas.

Within two weeks, the roach activity was nearly gone. After follow-up visits, the infestation was completely eliminated. The family said they finally felt comfortable cooking in their kitchen again.
