Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control services protect Charleston homes and businesses from common infestations. Using EPA-approved treatments and the latest application techniques, we target roaches, ants, and occasional invaders while prioritizing family and pet safety. Quarterly treatments create protective barriers, with key service options available for unattended appointments. Our technicians receive ongoing training to maintain industry-leading standards.
Termite Management
Specialized termite management combines liquid treatments with the Sentricon Termite Colony Elimination System. This eco-friendly solution uses bait stations to eliminate colonies at their source without foundation drilling. Annual inspections identify risk areas, while our 24/7 monitoring provides continuous protection against costly structural damage in Charleston's humid climate.
Mosquito Reduction
Professional mosquito reduction services target breeding grounds to minimize populations in residential yards. Our treatments reduce disease risks like Zika virus while using environmentally responsible formulations. Barrier sprays and larvicide applications create safer outdoor spaces for families, with seasonal programs tailored to Charleston's coastal conditions.
Wildlife Removal
Humane wildlife removal addresses nuisance animals including raccoons, squirrels, and bats. Our certified technicians perform thorough inspections to identify entry points, then implement exclusion strategies to prevent re-infestation. The process includes damage assessment, sanitization, and preventive repairs for Charleston area properties.
CL-100 Inspections
CL-100 real estate inspections meet South Carolina disclosure requirements for property transactions. Certified inspectors identify active infestations and past damage while providing detailed documentation for buyers and sellers. Our reports include photographic evidence and treatment recommendations when necessary.

Questions
Are your pest control products safe for children and pets?

Results vary by pest type but are typically rapid. Ongoing service agreements maintain long-term protection with free follow-up treatments as needed.
