Cockroach Sightings Climb in Nashville’s Spring Humidity

Cockroach Problems Rising in Nashville, Lewisburg, and Lebanon Homes

As spring humidity surges across Middle Tennessee, so does cockroach activity—especially in older homes and multi-unit properties. At Lookout Pest Control, we’ve seen a 2X increase in calls from Nashville, Lewisburg, and Lebanon neighborhoods this month alone. Local homeowners are searching online for solutions with terms like:

• “cockroach control Nashville”

• “roaches in my bathroom”

• “German roach exterminator near me”

If you’re spotting roaches now, it’s likely more than just a seasonal fluke—it could be an active infestation.

Why Spring Humidity Fuels Roach Infestations in Middle Tennessee

“Roaches thrive in high-moisture environments. Once they enter a building, they reproduce quickly and hide in warm, dark places.”
— UT Extension, Urban Insects Program

With April rains and warming temperatures, ideal breeding conditions exist in kitchens, bathrooms, crawl spaces, and basements. American and German cockroaches are the most common species we find across Davidson, Marshall, and Wilson counties.

According to Lookout’s Field Ops Lead Dana S.:

“We’re getting twice as many roach calls this April as last year. Moisture issues in bathrooms and kitchens are the first thing we look for.”
