Common Pests in Tega Cay
Insects and rodents are more than just a nuisance. They can also cause health issues or damage to your property. Killingsworth Environmental exterminator services keep you safe. Common area pests are:
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes transmit West Nile virus and Zika virus. They cause itchy bites and are a general nuisance when you’re trying to enjoy spending time outside. Our barrier spray kills mosquitoes and larvae to protect your yards from these pests.
Ticks
Ticks carry Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. They are a growing threat and active all year, although they are found in the greatest numbers from late spring through early fall.
Rodents
Mice and rats that carry diseases and contaminate surfaces with bacteria. They also cause damage to structures, furniture, and wiring. You may notice gnaw marks, nests, droppings, scratching or scurrying sounds, or a musty or ammonia-like odor to indicate rodent activity.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are large insects that crawl, glide, or fly. They prefer damp and dark areas and are a very common indoor pest throughout South Carolina. Cockroaches can trigger allergies and asthma.
Fire Ants
Fire ants are aggressive and deliver painful bites. Some people have serious allergic reactions or go into anaphylactic shock. They build large mounds in yards that can cause a lot of damage to your landscape.
Wasps
Wasps inflict painful stings and, in some cases, cause severe reactions like anaphylactic shock. They attack when they feel threatened, so it’s important to keep your distance from wasps and nests.
Spiders
Most spiders are harmless, although some spider species, like the black widow and brown recluse, are venomous. Regardless, many people have a phobia of spiders, making pest control for these insects a popular service.
Termites
Termites eat through wood, causing widespread and costly damage. Infestations are often hard to recognize at first, making a termite inspection a necessary preventative measure. Bait stations are an effective treatment to kill off the colony, including the queen, and stop infestations from recurring.
Ants
Ants can enter your home through small cracks and crevices and cause contamination, inflict bites and stings, and trigger allergic reactions. They invade homes in large numbers and build nests that are often difficult to locate.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are excellent at hiding and cause intensely itchy red bites. They spread quickly and easily, which is why it’s important to get professional pest treatments.
The threats that come with pest activity are serious, but the team at Killingsworth Environmental is highly trained and equipped with the right tools to remove pests safely.

How did I get an infestation?
Pests enter your property looking for food, water, and shelter. Common factors that attract pests include leaving food or garbage out, allowing your lawn and plants to become overgrown, and ignoring entry points like cracks in the foundation or gaps around windows and doors.
