Johns Island is one of the most beautiful and wild corners of the Lowcountry. With wide open fields, dense tree lines, marshland edges, and fast-growing neighborhoods, the island is a natural magnet for pests of all kinds. Mosquitoes thrive after summer storms, palmetto bugs wander toward cooler interiors, and rodents use tree limbs and crawlspaces like their own personal highway system.

Reif Environmental is a family-owned pest control company proudly serving Johns Island’s unique blend of rural charm and rapid development. Whether you live near Maybank Highway, River Road, Live Oak Square, Stono Point, or Hackett Boulevard, our trucks roll in with safe, modern solutions built for island living.

If it crawls, stings, bites, chews, or buzzes, we’re the ones who stop it.
