James Island Pest Control FAQs

Why does James Island have so many palmetto bugs?

The mix of marsh air, humidity, and older crawlspace-style homes gives them easy moisture and warmth. We block them out and keep them out.

Do mosquitoes get worse after heavy rain?

Yes. Standing water around marsh edges and yards makes mosquito populations explode within 48–72 hours.

How often should my home be serviced?

Quarterly treatments work best for James Island due to year-round humidity and pest pressure.

Is your pest control safe for pets?

Absolutely. We use pet-friendly products and apply them carefully around your home.

Do you offer same-day or next-day service?

Yes — depending on the schedule, we can usually get to James Island customers very quickly.
