ANT CONTROL
I tackle ant issues head-on by finding the colony's source, using advanced baits and seals to eliminate the entire infestation, and keeping your home pest-free all year.
COCKROACH INFESTATION
My cockroach (or "Palmetto bug") strategy is to first inspect for entry points and moisture sources, then use professional-grade baits and targeted treatments to eliminate all roach populations for a clean, pest-free home environment.
SPIDER TREATMENT
To effectively handle spiders, I focus on both removing webs and insects they feed on, while applying a protective barrier treatment to the exterior of your home, making it an uninviting place for them to nest.
FIRE ANT CONTROL
For effective fire ant control, we first inspect your property to find all the hidden mounds and trails, then apply professional-grade treatments directly to the nests and use strategic bait applications to eliminate the queen and guarantee long-lasting, friendly relief for your yard.
TERMITE TREATMENTS
Stop the silent destroyers: we offer guaranteed, expert termite control to protect your investment. I use industry-leading treatments to eliminate the colony and provide total peace of mind.
MOSQUITO TREATMENTS
Reclaim your yard with Palmetto's proven mosquito barrier treatments, targeting resting and breeding sites for a comfortable outdoor space. My monthly applications include larvicide to stop the life cycle, guaranteeing a significant reduction in pests so you can enjoy your time outside worry-free.

What our past and current customers say
“When we first moved into our house, we were completely overwhelmed by 'palmetto bugs.' After trying a few DIY solutions that didn't work, we called Palmetto Pest Defense. John was so thorough and professional. He inspected the inside, outside, and even the attic to find the source. Highly recommend him for a tough infestation!”
Sarah K., Summerville, SC
“John was always punctual, courteous, and extremely professional. He takes the time to explain what he's doing and always gives instant feedback on the inspection. The regular quarterly treatment keeps our home perfectly pest-free, and we appreciate that we have the same knowledgeable service person who knows our property. Truly an A+ team!”
John G., Chapin, SC
“I had an issue with a sudden ant problem between my scheduled quarterly services. John came out the very next day. He used different products, liquids and granules, and was extremely responsive to our specific nuisance critter problem. Not only did they fix it right away at no extra charge, but I always learn something new about pest prevention from their team. Excellent customer service that goes above and beyond!”
Sherry L., Columbia, SC
