Pest Control in Myrtle Beach, SC
Pest control for Myrtle Beach homes and vacation rentals. Bed bugs, rodents, termites — we handle it. Serving Horry County for over 20 years.
Pest Control in Myrtle Beach, SC
Myrtle Beach is different from most places we serve. You’ve got year-round humidity, salt air, millions of tourists cycling through vacation rentals, and warm winters that let pests stay active longer than they do inland. That combination keeps our phones ringing.
Bed bugs travel with luggage. Mice and rats find their way into beachfront condos and older Horry County homes. Termites love the moisture that comes with coastal soil. Mosquitoes along the waterways are a problem from March through October.
Down East Pest Control has been handling all of this for over 20 years. We cover the Grand Strand from North Myrtle Beach down through Murrells Inlet. Our team knows what is living in the walls, what is under the crawl space, and what is biting people on the back porch. Browse our pest control services to see the full list of what we treat.
Our Pest Control Services in Myrtle Beach
We don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. We curate custom treatment plans based on the specific needs of your property. Here is how we keep Fayetteville pest-free:
Bed Bug Control
Bed bugs are the top pest complaint in vacation rental markets. One guest complaint can tank your reviews. Our bed bug treatment plans work for single-family homes, condos, and rental properties — and we move fast.
Rodent Control
Mice and rats stay active here year-round. Warm winters mean they do not slow down the way they do inland. Our rodent control work covers trapping, removal, and sealing entry points so they stay out.
Termite Control
Coastal soil conditions in Horry County create ideal conditions for subterranean termites. We offer inspections, termite treatments, and bonds for buyers and sellers.
Mosquito Control
From Conway to Little River, mosquitoes near ponds, marshes, and inlets are a real problem. Barrier spray treatments knock down the population around your home and yard.
Moisture Control and Crawl Space Encapsulation
Salt air and high humidity beat up crawl spaces on the coast. Our moisture control services cut off the conditions that lead to mold, wood rot, and the insects that follow damp environments.
Ant Control
Fire ants, carpenter ants, and pavement ants are all common here. We treat the colony, not just the trail.
Cockroach Control
Palmetto bugs are everywhere on the South Carolina coast. German roaches show up in kitchens and bathrooms. We use targeted treatments that actually work.
Spider Control
The humid coastal environment keeps spiders active most of the year. We treat entry points and exterior zones to keep them outside.
Commercial Pest Control
Myrtle Beach runs on hospitality. Restaurants, hotels, vacation rentals, retail — all need pest control that is discreet, reliable, and documented. We offer commercial plans for Horry County businesses.
Serving the Grand Strand and Horry County
The Myrtle Beach area is not one place. It is a stretch of communities that each have their own character and their own pest problems. North Myrtle Beach deals with seasonal surges from vacation traffic. The older neighborhoods in Conway have moisture and rodent issues that come with aging housing stock. Surfside Beach and Garden City see bed bug calls spike every summer. Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island have marsh mosquitoes and termites in equal measure.
We have been working these areas since long before the Grand Strand was what it is today. Our trucks cover Horry County daily — from the condos near Broadway at the Beach to the residential neighborhoods behind Barefoot Landing to the older homes along Highway 501.
We are a family company, not a franchise. You are not calling a 1-800 number. You are calling Down East, and we pick up.
