Every pest control service, one phone number
Much of the work here follows from the houses and the climate. A great many homes in North Charleston sit over vented crawl spaces, and the warm, humid coast has no winter freeze deep enough to stop insects breeding. Termites, cockroaches and mosquitoes stay active most of the year.
Termites get the most attention. Formosan subterranean termites are established in Charleston County, and native subterranean termites are also common. Drywood termites live inside timber with no soil contact, so a soil barrier does not reach them. Start with the service that matches what you are seeing, such as termite control in North Charleston or drywood termite inspection and treatment. The price is explained and approved before any work starts.
Native Subterranean Termite Treatment
Treatment for the native subterranean termite, which swarms in early spring afternoons and works through damp crawl-space framing.
CL-100 Wood Infestation Report
What South Carolina's CL-100 termite letter covers, what it leaves out, and how a North Charleston inspection is scoped to it.
Crawl Space Moisture and Wood Decay
Why damp vented crawl spaces in North Charleston feed wood decay and termites, and how the sub-floor inspection is scoped.
Palmetto Bug and Smokybrown Cockroach Control
Control for the roaches South Carolinians call palmetto bugs, which often live outdoors in leaf litter and move in through the house.
Mosquito Control
Homeowner-side mosquito control for North Charleston, focused on the containers and standing water that breed the daytime biter on your property.
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
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
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
A termite bond is a contract, and what it covers depends on its wording, especially for Formosan termites.
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
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
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
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.
Rodent Control and Exclusion
Rat and mouse work in North Charleston that starts with sealing the entry points, then cuts down what draws rodents in.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is a palmetto bug the same as a cockroach?
Palmetto bug is an unofficial name, and people use it for different insects. For some South Carolinians it means the American cockroach. Along the coast, many use it for the smokybrown, a dark mahogany, shiny roach common in leaf litter, shrubs and wood piles that is drawn to lights. Clemson HGIC notes the German cockroach is smaller and tan, keeps to kitchens and bathrooms, and does not fly. Palmetto bugs, explained covers the differences.
What does Clemson say about Asian tiger mosquitoes around the home?
Clemson HGIC calls the Asian tiger mosquito the most common daytime biting mosquito in the Carolinas. Its larvae develop in standing water in containers such as rain gutters, bird baths, flower pots and tires, not in natural wetlands. Clemson advises homeowners to remove breeding sites and drain water-filled items. Nighttime truck fogging often does not reach them, because they are mainly active in daylight. Charleston County treats larvae in standing water and adults by ground spraying, and takes reports from the public.
Do I need a CL-100 to sell my house?
The CL-100 Wood Infestation Report is South Carolina's official report of visible infestation and damage caused by insects and decay. Lenders and closing attorneys, not the regulation, are usually what set the timing, so ask yours before you list. The CL-100 guide explains what the report covers.
How do I book a visit?
Phones are answered 24/7. Describe what you are seeing, including where and when. A visit the same day is possible when a technician is free, but it is not guaranteed, and no arrival time is promised on the call.
