Exterminator in Hollywood, FL
An active pest infestation in your Hollywood home or business does not improve on its own. German roaches compound weekly. Roof rats multiply fast once they establish an attic nesting site. Ghost ant colonies divide and spread to new entry points when surface sprays disperse them without eliminating the source. Bugstinct's licensed exterminators eliminate infestations at the root, not just what is visible, using species-specific treatment protocols backed by a 30-day guarantee.
- Active infestation elimination, not just surface treatment
- Species identification before any product is applied
- Same-week appointments within 24 to 48 hours
- 30-day guarantee on every extermination service
What Sets Bugstinct Apart as an Exterminator in Hollywood
Extermination that works starts with identifying what you actually have and where it is living, not applying the same treatment to every job.
Inspection Before Treatment, Every Time
No product is applied until a full inspection is complete. We identify the species, locate the primary harborage zones, trace entry points, and assess the extent of the infestation across the property. The treatment plan is explained in full before any work begins. Applying the wrong product because the pest was misidentified is one of the primary reasons DIY and low-quality pest control fails.
Colony-Level Elimination, Not Surface Kill
Repellent contact sprays scatter visible insects but leave the colony, nest, or breeding population intact. Surface kill creates the appearance of progress while the source continues reproducing. Bugstinct's extermination protocols target the source population, colony, or nesting site so the infestation does not rebound after the initial treatment.
30-Day Guarantee on Every Job
Every extermination service includes a 30-day guarantee. If the treated pest returns within 30 days, Bugstinct returns at no additional charge to address any remaining activity. The guarantee covers the full infestation, not just the room where symptoms were first noticed.
Same-Week Scheduling
Most Hollywood extermination appointments are available within 24 to 48 hours of first contact. Active infestations that are actively spreading are prioritized for the fastest available window. Call (954) 671-0634 to confirm availability for your address.
Entry Point Sealing Included
Extermination without sealing how the pests are getting in produces short-term results at best. Bugstinct's service includes sealing or flagging primary entry points identified during inspection. Caulking gaps around pipes, sealing soffit penetrations, and recommending exclusion work for larger openings is part of every extermination visit.
What Hollywood Residents Say About Bugstinct Extermination
"Called two other exterminators before Bugstinct. Both sprayed the visible roaches and the problem came back within a week. Bugstinct actually moved the refrigerator and stove, found the harborage points, and applied gel bait at every one of them. The infestation was gone in less than two weeks and has not come back."
James P.
Downtown Hollywood, FL
"We had roof rats in the attic of our Hollywood Hills home. Bugstinct found the entry points in the fascia and soffit, sealed three openings, and set up traps inside. Rats were gone in 10 days. Previous exterminator just put down traps without finding the entry points and they kept coming back."
Linda F.
Hollywood Hills, FL
"Ghost ants were everywhere in the kitchen and bathroom. Bugstinct identified the colony entry point outside near the air conditioning unit, applied bait at the source, and traced the trail all the way to the bathroom vanity. Completely gone within 10 days. Impressed by how systematic the whole process was."

What Bugstinct's Extermination Service Covers in Hollywood
Full-spectrum extermination for the pests most common in Hollywood's homes, condos, and rental properties.
Cockroach Extermination
German roach gel bait and IGR at all identified harborage points. Appliances moved for full access. American roach and palmetto bug perimeter treatment at entry zones including drains, foundation gaps, and exterior vegetation. Both species treated in a single service when both are present.
Ant Colony Elimination
Ghost ant, fire ant, and crazy ant colony-source treatment with non-repellent bait. Repellent products scatter ant colonies and create satellite infestations in adjacent areas. Slow-acting non-repellent bait carried back to the colony eliminates the source population instead of dispersing it.
Rodent Extermination and Exclusion
Roof rat and Norway rat removal using trapping and exclusion. All identified entry points sealed or flagged for repair. Hollywood's older housing stock and canal-adjacent vegetation make rodent exclusion as important as trapping. Access without sealing entry routes produces temporary results.
Palmetto Bug Elimination
Palmetto bugs entering Hollywood homes through drains, pipe penetrations, and foundation gaps are treated with exterior perimeter spray, drain treatment, and entry point sealing. Palmetto bugs are a symptom of accessible entry routes. Extermination includes addressing both the visible population and the entry pathway.
Spider Extermination
Web removal, interior spot treatment, and exterior perimeter treatment targeting spider harborage zones. Hollywood's canal vegetation and landscaping provide abundant habitat for wolf spiders, banana spiders, and black widows near residential properties. Extermination addresses the food source reduction and structural harborage zones.
Flea and Tick Extermination
Interior IGR and contact treatment plus yard treatment for fleas and ticks. Effective flea extermination requires treating the pet, the interior, and the yard simultaneously. Bugstinct coordinates treatment with your vet-prescribed pet treatment timing for maximum effectiveness on the full flea lifecycle.
How Extermination Works in Hollywood with Bugstinct
A systematic process from first call to confirmed elimination.
Call or Book Online
Call (954) 671-0634 or submit the contact form. Describe the pest, where you are seeing it, and how long the problem has been occurring. This helps the technician arrive prepared for the scope of inspection and treatment required. Most Hollywood appointments are confirmed within 24 to 48 hours.
Full Inspection and Treatment Plan
Your technician performs a complete interior and exterior inspection before any product is applied. The pest species is confirmed, harborage zones and entry points are located, and the treatment plan is explained in full before work begins. Nothing is applied until you understand what is being done and why.
Targeted Extermination at the Source
Treatment is applied at every harborage point and entry zone, not just what is visible. For colony-dependent pests like German roaches and ants, slow-acting bait is used at the source. For rodents, exclusion is combined with trapping. For pests with structural entry points, sealing or flagging those points is part of the service.
Follow-Up and Guarantee
If the treated pest returns within 30 days, Bugstinct comes back at no additional charge. For infestations that require multiple treatments such as advanced German roach or large rodent populations, your technician explains the expected timeline and number of visits needed for complete elimination.

Eliminating a Roof Rat Infestation in a Hollywood Hills Home
The Problem
A Hollywood Hills homeowner reported loud scratching in the attic ceiling at night and found rodent droppings along the attic perimeter. The home was built in the late 1970s and had soffit venting with deteriorated mesh screening. Two prior exterminator visits had placed bait stations in the attic without finding or sealing the entry points. The rat population declined briefly after each treatment but returned within three to four weeks.
Our Solution
Bugstinct performed a full attic and exterior inspection. Four entry points were identified: two deteriorated soffit vent screens, a gap in the fascia board at a roof valley junction, and an uncapped J-channel run on the back roofline. All four were sealed using hardware cloth and appropriate exterior caulking. Snap traps were placed along the primary attic travel routes. The technician also identified a mango tree with a branch overhanging the roofline as the primary access route and recommended trimming it back at least four feet from the structure.
The Outcome
All roof rat activity stopped within 12 days of exclusion completion. Traps confirmed population was eliminated within two weeks. The homeowner enrolled in a monthly pest plan. A four-month follow-up confirmed no rodent re-entry. Tree trimming was completed by the homeowner and remained part of the ongoing maintenance recommendation.
