Stop Watching Roaches Scatter When You Flip On the Light
For every roach you see, there are more hiding in the walls.
We put down bait the roaches carry back to the nest,
so you’re clearing out the ones you’d never catch, not just the few that scattered when the light came on.
Having a Roach Problem is Optional! Ready to Opt Out?
While South Carolina has more than its fair share of roaches, you don’t have to tolerate them as roommates!
Take back control of your home with our professional pest control services and start living a cockroach-free life!
Our Cockroach Control Program
Area Inspection
The process begins with a thorough inspection, where we determine what species of roach is infesting your home and develop a plan of action to address your cockroach problem.
Application of Cockroach Treatments
Depending on the type of cockroaches present, your Clemson Extension 7A certified technician will employ perimeter sprays, bait stations, or fumigation to eliminate them.
Follow-up Treatments As Needed
In many cases roach control can be achieved with a single treatment – however we aren’t finished until your cockroach problem is fully resolved and will return as needed.
No More Roaches!
For a few days you may see dead roaches as the insecticides work their magic.
However, soon your pest problem will be a thing of the past and your home will be safe from roaches.
