# North Charleston Pest Control > Pest control in North Charleston, Summerville, Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson and across the Charleston Lowcountry. This is one of the hardest pest climates in the country and the reasons are specific. There is no winter cold snap to kill anything, so breeding runs all year. Formosan subterranean termites were introduced here in the 1950s and are now established along this coast, swarming in the evening from mid-May into July, while native subterranean termites swarm in spring afternoons. A great many houses here sit over vented crawl spaces in very high humidity, and that damp is what draws roaches, moisture ants and the rest. We inspect, treat and follow up. ## Key facts - Business: North Charleston Pest Control - What: Residential and commercial pest control - Phone: (855) 974-4733 (+18559744733) - Email: info@northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop -

[Fire Ant Control](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/fire-ant-control/): Control for imported fire ant mounds in North Charleston yards, including the new turf and landscaping that brings them in. - [Formosan Subterranean Termite Treatment](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/formosan-subterranean-termite-treatment/): Formosan subterranean termites are established along the Charleston coast, and the crawl spaces here give them a steady supply of damp wood. - [Drywood Termite Inspection and Treatment](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/drywood-termite-inspection-and-treatment/): Drywood termites live inside the wood itself, so inspection looks at the timber rather than the soil around the foundation. - [Termite Bonds and Annual Reinspection](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/termite-bond-and-annual-reinspection/): A termite bond is a contract, and what it covers depends on its wording, especially for Formosan termites. - [Slab Home Pest Control](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/slab-home-pest-control/): Slab-on-grade homes have no sub-floor to inspect, so the work moves to the slab edge, the penetrations and the perimeter. - [German Cockroach Control](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/german-cockroach-control/): German cockroaches stay in kitchens and bathrooms and move between units through shared walls and ducts, so control reaches beyond one room. - [Salt Marsh Mosquito Control](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/salt-marsh-mosquito-control/): Salt marsh mosquitoes come from tidal marsh beyond the property line, so the county runs the main program and the homeowner handles the yard. - [Ant Control](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/services/ant-control/): Ants in North Charleston breed all year and trail in along sill plates and plumbing, so the inspection starts at the house's entry points. -

[FAQ](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/faq/) - [What a pest control quote in North Charleston depends on](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/pest-control-cost-in-north-charleston/): A pest control quote in North Charleston depends mostly on the house: its footprint, whether it sits on a crawl space or a slab, how much of the sub-floor and perimeter a technician can reach, and the species and scope of the work. A sale inspection can add to it. The price is explained and approved before any work starts. - [Formosan termites in the Charleston Lowcountry: how they differ](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/formosan-termites-in-charleston/): Formosan subterranean termites were introduced into Charleston in the mid-1950s and are now established along the coast. They swarm in the evening from mid-May into July, drawn to lights, while native subterranean termites swarm in spring afternoons. People moving infested material, especially old railway ties, is the main reason their range has grown. - [What the CL-100 Wood Infestation Report is and is not](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/what-is-a-cl-100-termite-letter/): The CL-100 is South Carolina's official Wood Infestation Report, covering visible insect infestation and damage. Its decay inspection is limited to the area below the first main living-area floor. The timing most often quoted for it usually comes from lenders and closing attorneys, not from the regulation itself. - [Palmetto bug is a name, not a species: what the insect is here](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/palmetto-bugs-what-they-actually-are/): Palmetto bug is an unofficial name, not a species. Some South Carolinians mean the American cockroach by it, and along the coast many mean the smokybrown. The two look different and live in different places, so the right plan depends on which one is actually there. - [When termites swarm in North Charleston and the Lowcountry](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/termite-swarm-season-in-the-lowcountry/): Native subterranean termites swarm in early spring, usually in the afternoon. Formosan subterranean termites, established along the Charleston coast since the 1950s, swarm from about mid-May into July, most often in the evening and drawn to lights. A swarm seen indoors means winged reproductive termites have come from a colony nearby, which calls for an inspection. - [How pest control is licensed in South Carolina, and who to ask](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/pest-control-licensing-in-south-carolina/): In South Carolina, pest control is licensed by the Department of Pesticide Regulation at Clemson University, not by a standalone licensing board. The work falls under the South Carolina Pesticide Control Act, and structural work carries its own certification category, with fumigation as a separate qualification. - [Why Lowcountry crawl spaces stay damp, even with vents](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/lowcountry-crawl-spaces-and-moisture/): A vented crawl space in coastal South Carolina can hold more moisture than its vents suggest. Warm, humid outside air enters the space and condenses on ducts, joists and sub-floor framing that the air conditioning has cooled, and sustained damp feeds wood-decay fungi and draws termites to the sub-floor. - [What the county mosquito programme does, and what your yard has to do](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/guides/charleston-county-mosquito-control-what-it-does/): Charleston County Mosquito Control treats larvae in standing water from the air, sprays adults from the ground, runs traps across the county and tests for West Nile, eastern equine encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis. Its evening truck spraying often does little against the Asian tiger mosquito, which bites in daylight and breeds in containers on your own property. ## Company - [About](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/about/) - [Reviews](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/reviews/) - [Contact](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/contact/) ## Optional - [Full text of every page](https://northcharlestonpestcontrol.shop/llms-full.txt)
