Fire ants, fleas, ticks, and outdoor pests controlled so your yard is usable again.
Fire ants are present in virtually every Mount Pleasant yard. Red imported fire ants build mounds that can house hundreds of thousands of workers and sting repeatedly, which is a serious concern for children, pets, and anyone with fire ant allergies. The Lowcountry climate also maintains year-round flea and tick populations — no hard freeze means no seasonal reset.
Yard and lawn pest control addresses the outdoor environment: fire ant mound treatment, broadcast bait programs, perimeter barrier spray, and flea and tick reduction across the property.
Across Charleston County, whether you're in Dunes West, Awendaw, Moncks Corner, or elsewhere around Mount Pleasant, homeowners call us for yard and lawn pest control because we treat the conditions specific to this area rather than applying a generic plan. It's the same reason our red imported fire ants results hold up.
This runs equally well on either property type. Commercial work is scheduled around trading hours with documentation for SC DHEC inspections; residential is the same program for a house.
Fire ant mounds are dome-shaped with no visible opening at the top (they enter from the sides). A mound that appears after rain is a freshly aired-out nest, not a new colony — the colony was already underground.
Flea infestations in the yard maintain the cycle indoors. Year-round flea treatment requires addressing the pet, the interior, and the yard simultaneously.
Lone star ticks quest in the lower vegetation at the lawn edge and in leaf litter. Treating the perimeter and the lawn-to-woods edge reduces exposure significantly.
Two-step method: broadcast bait applied across the lawn to achieve general colony reduction, followed by individual mound treatments for large or active mounds.
Residual product applied to lawn and shrub borders at labeled rates. Concentrates on the shaded lawn edge and ground cover where fleas and ticks harbor.
Treated band around the foundation to intercept pests before they enter the structure.
Fire ant populations rebound from untreated areas over time. Follow-up bait applications 2 to 3 times a year maintain effective control.
A single fire ant mound treatment kills one colony. A broadcast bait program reduces the population across the entire property. The two-step method is the most effective and the most recommended approach for Lowcountry yards.
Most yard and lawn pest control jobs around Mount Pleasant land inside these ranges. The inspection costs nothing and the exact figure goes in writing before anyone starts work.
| Job size | What it covers | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| Small | A single room or one active problem area | an estimated $65–$175 |
| Standard | Standard interior treatment with the exterior barrier renewed | an estimated $80–$255 |
| Large | Larger home, or a problem found in the crawl space as well as inside | an estimated $120–$405 |
| Severe | Widespread activity needing staged visits and sealing work | an estimated $190–$675 |
Call early and this stays at the low end; leave it and it climbs. The pricing guide shows by how much, and covers the insurance position on damage.
A property surrounded by untreated neighbors and adjacent green space is constantly being recolonized from outside. A broadcast bait program reduces the on-property population but cannot prevent new queens from flying in from adjacent areas.
Yes. The Lowcountry does not get a killing freeze that eliminates outdoor flea populations. Monthly outdoor treatment through the year, combined with year-round pet flea prevention, is what breaks the cycle.
Follow the product re-entry interval provided by the applicator, typically 1 to 4 hours after application has dried. We provide a specific re-entry time before we leave.
Most yard and lawn pest control work here comes in at $79–$169. Anything requiring sealing work alongside treatment is quoted separately, because it is a different job.

Two-step management — broadcast bait to knock down the population, individual mound treatment for sensitive areas — is the standard approach for residential fire ant control in South Carolina.

South Carolina does not have an off-season for ticks. Lone star ticks, American dog ticks, and black-legged ticks overlap in the Lowcountry with different peak periods and different health risks.

You pour something on the mound. The mound disappears. Three weeks later there is a new mound ten feet away. Here is why that keeps happening and what actually works.
