General Pest Control
Comprehensive interior and exterior pest management targeting the most common household invaders along the Grand Strand. Our Integrated Pest Management approach minimizes chemical use while maximizing results against palmetto bugs, ants, spiders, and more in our subtropical coastal environment.
Overview
What You Need to Know
Most pest problems in Myrtle Beach start before you see them. Ants scout through cracks in foundations built on sandy soils. Palmetto bugs thrive in the warm, humid conditions along the Grand Strand, navigating plumbing chases and storm drains. German cockroaches arrive on deliveries. Spiders follow prey. Our General Pest Control program uses Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to create overlapping barriers — interior crack-and-crevice treatments, exterior perimeter applications, and targeted spot treatments — so pests are intercepted at every entry point. Every product we use is EPA-registered and applied by SC Certified Commercial Applicators, strictly following label directions.
Treatment Overview
Our approach starts with a thorough inspection to identify pest species, entry points, and conditions conducive to infestation. Coastal homes in Myrtle Beach face challenges — high humidity, sandy soil, and subtropical temperatures keep pests active nearly year-round. We apply a targeted treatment plan using EPA-registered products safe for families and pets. Regular quarterly visits maintain year-round protection, and free re-treatments between visits ensure you're never waiting if pests return in the Grand Strand area.

What to Expect
Key Information
Interior Treatment
We treat interior entry points including baseboards, door frames, window sills, plumbing penetrations, and electrical outlets. In kitchens and bathrooms, we use gel baits and crack-and-crevice applications that target pests where they live without exposing your living spaces to unnecessary product. Palmetto bugs are a particular focus — we treat around drains, water heaters, and laundry areas where these large cockroaches seek moisture. All interior products are low-odor, low-toxicity formulations safe for use around children and pets.
Exterior Perimeter Barrier
The exterior barrier is your first line of defense. We apply a continuous band of product around your foundation, treating up to 3 feet out from the structure and 3 feet up the foundation wall. In coastal homes, we pay special attention to weep holes, stucco cracks, and garage entries where palmetto bugs and ants commonly enter. We also target eaves, window frames, door frames, utility penetrations, and any cracks or gaps in the exterior. This barrier intercepts pests before they enter your home.
Integrated Pest Management
IPM goes beyond spraying. We identify and address conducive conditions — moisture issues common in coastal humidity, structural gaps, vegetation touching the house, and sanitation concerns. Myrtle Beach's warm, wet climate accelerates pest reproduction, so reducing what attracts pests and sealing how they enter is even more critical here than in drier regions. Every visit includes a condition report with actionable recommendations.
Seasonal Activity for General Pest Control
Peak Months
March–November
Activity Level
Coastal South Carolina's subtropical climate means pests are active nearly year-round, with only a brief slowdown in the coolest winter weeks. Quarterly treatments timed to seasonal pest cycles keep protection consistent in the Myrtle Beach area. Spring targets ants and roaches emerging with rising humidity, summer addresses peak palmetto bug and ant activity, fall blocks entry as occasional cool fronts push pests indoors, and winter treatments protect against overwintering species like German cockroaches and spiders.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About General Pest Control
A standard treatment visit takes 30–45 minutes for an average-sized home. The initial visit may take 60–90 minutes because it includes a full inspection plus treatment. You don't need to leave your home during treatment, though we ask that you keep pets away from treated areas until they dry (usually 30 minutes).
Yes. All products we use are EPA-registered and applied according to label directions by SC Certified Commercial Applicators. We use low-toxicity, low-odor formulations specifically designed for residential use. Gel baits are placed in concealed areas, and liquid applications dry within 30 minutes. We also offer fully organic treatment options for sensitive households.
Palmetto bugs (American cockroaches) thrive in warm, humid environments — exactly the conditions found year-round in coastal South Carolina. They breed outdoors in mulch beds, storm drains, and leaf litter, then migrate indoors seeking moisture and food. Our perimeter barrier and interior treatments target them at both entry points and harborage sites. Quarterly treatments are especially important here because the mild winters allow palmetto bug populations to remain active all year.
Call us. Every plan includes free re-treatments between scheduled visits. If pests return at any point, we'll come back and treat at no additional charge. Most re-service calls are handled within 24–48 hours.
