Common Pest Problems in Charleston
Charleston sits in the Southeast, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from Charleston cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.
- Termites in South Carolina. South Carolina sits in the very heavy termite zone, so a termite inspection is worth doing before you buy a house and again every year or two.
- Winter and rodents. Winters are mild enough that rodents and insects stay active all year.
- Fire ants. Mounds appear in lawns and along driveways after rain, and the stings are painful for kids and pets.
- Shared walls and older buildings. In denser parts of Charleston, bed bugs, roaches and mice move between apartments and rowhouses through shared walls and plumbing chases.
- Termites and humidity. Warm, wet weather keeps subterranean termites active for most of the year, and slab homes with wood framing give them an easy path. Roaches, ants and mosquitoes follow the same humidity.
Can it wait?
When to Call an Exterminator in Charleston Right Away
- Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
- Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
- A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
- Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
- Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
- Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.

South Carolina sits in the very heavy termite zone, so a termite inspection is worth doing before you buy a house and again every year or two. A termite inspection report costs about $100 to $255 and is the one lenders ask for in many home sales.
