More on pest control in Charleston, SC
Why are mosquitoes so bad in Charleston, and does county spraying help?
Charleston’s rain and tidal water give mosquitoes plenty of places to develop, and county spraying does help reduce the numbers. Charleston County treats mosquitoes before and after they become adults. Crews target large areas of standing water after rain or tidal events. Adult spraying goes where surveillance shows higher mosquito counts. It helps, but it cannot catch every mosquito. We help you get ahead of them with data-driven care.
Why do palmetto bugs fly at me on warm evenings?
Palmetto bugs seem to fly at you on warm evenings because these large, winged cockroaches become active after dark. American and smokybrown cockroaches are both common Southern suspects. Most cockroaches are poor fliers. That can make one short flight feel a lot more personal than it is. American roaches favor warm, damp places. Smokybrowns often spend the day around trees or protected outdoor spaces.
Why do rats keep coming back after I trap them?
Rats can keep coming back after trapping when the things that attracted them are still there. A trap handles the rat you caught. It does not close an entry point or remove a food source. Another rat can simply take its place. Clemson recommends changing the habitat along with controlling the animals. Secure garbage and pet food. Seal openings. We overthink pests. So you don’t have to.
Is the invasive yellow legged hornet in Charleston yet?
Yes. The invasive yellow-legged hornet has now been detected in Charleston County. By August 2026, official reports listed Charleston among the South Carolina counties with confirmed detections. USDA and state teams are still trapping and removing nests. Look for a dark hornet with yellow ends on its legs. If you think you found one, take a photo from a safe distance and report it.
Do fire ants go away in winter in Charleston?
No. Fire ants do not simply disappear when winter reaches Charleston. Cold weather can slow their activity. It can also send colonies deeper into the soil. That may leave a lawn looking surprisingly quiet. Fire ants forage most when surface soil reaches about 70 to 95°F. Warm winter weather can stir them up again. Less activity above ground does not mean the colony is gone.

Great job !
On one occasion, I was unable to be home to let the technician inside to spray. Aprive allowed me to schedule a follow-up visit to complete the indoor treatment at no additional charge. I have been very pleased with their communication, flexibility, and customer service.
Excellent job inside and outside the house.
