  • Pest Control Services

    • Are the pest control products that you use Environmentally Responsible?
      Yes, all of the products that we use have been tested and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, we have conducted our own field surveys in homes throughout Hilton Head, Bluffton, and Beaufort to make sure the products work in our local environment.
    • Can you tell me how to get rid my home of fruit flies?
      The small, brown, red-eyed fruit fly is usually carried inside homes in fresh fruits and vegetables, most often bananas. The items in which the flies are breeding must be found and discarded in the outdoor trash. Once the sanitation problems have been resolved, Hilton Head Exterminators has special treatment options to deal with the adult flies. Please call us today to set up a consultation.
    • Do you have any coupons?
      Yes we do! Please visit our special pest control offers page!
    • How can Hilton Head Exterminators control the pests on the inside of my home if the recurring service focuses on the exterior?
      Our unique pest control program begins with a comprehensive initial pest control service. The initial pest control service includes a full interior treatment to gain control of any existing pest problems. The trained and licensed technician will make sure to inspect and address problem areas around entryways, trashcans, sinks, toilets as well as check the attic for any potential rodent activity. We then turn our attention outside where pests live and breed. The regularly scheduled exterior service maintains the barrier around your home that attacks pests before they come inside.
    • How often should I have my Pest Control service?
      Depending on the particular situation, we recommend having regularly scheduled intervals of three months or less. However, shorter or longer periods may be recommended, according to specific situations.
    • I am being treated for bed bugs; what preparations must I do in advance of the bed bug appointment?
      Nothing! On the initial bed bug consultation, a trained Hilton Head Exterminators technician will inspect to identify and locate the bed bug infestation. The process of moving furniture, clothing and bedding can relocate and further the bed bug problem. After proper identification, the technician will give you proper instructions to get ready for the bed bug treatment.
    • I’ve heard that silverfish are extremely difficult to control. Is this true? If so, what should I do?
      Silverfish are difficult to eliminate, but not because they are resistant to treatments. Instead, they often hide deep within walls or attics, where treatments are difficult to apply. Call today and a Hilton Head Exterminators professionally trained technician will help control the silverfish in your home.
    • What if I still have a problem inside my home after the outside has been serviced?
      Just pick up the phone and give us a call! We are happy to come back at your convenience and at no additional charge to solve the problem.
    • What pests are covered with Hilton Head Exterminators regular pest control service?
      This service provides coverage for all general insects such as roaches, ants, spiders, crickets, earwigs, silverfish, ground beetles, nesting wasps, and other occasional invaders. Regular pest control service does not include fire ants (beyond 10’ of the structure), fleas, ticks, bed bugs, or any type of wood destroying insect- such as carpenter ants, carpenter bees, termites, or powder post beetles.
    • What should I do to prepare for a flea treatment at my home?
      It’s easy. Please have all of your animals treated for fleas by a veterinarian as close to the appointment date as possible. Right before our technician arrives, please vacuum all carpets and make sure to throw away the vacuum bag. Hilton Head Exterminators will take care of the rest!
    • Where are these bugs coming from? I keep a clean house.
      Sometimes it’s tough to remember that the bugs aren’t doing this just to drive us crazy. Most bugs only come inside when the outside becomes less hospitable. For example, during the summer, the heat dries up the ground and forces ants inside to search for new sources of moisture. In the winter, rats and mice find that many of their preferred food sources are hibernating. The cold sends many rodents inside to search for food and warmth.
    • Why should I hire a Pest Management Professional?
      We understand that your home is important to you and that pests can be a nuisance. Our trained and licensed technicians have the knowledge and capability as well as access to specialized products, tools and training to effectively eliminate pests and maintain that control around and within your home. We understand those factors and take those into account when approaching each unique pest situation.
    • Will Hilton Head Exterminators treat for fleas?
      You bet we do! Because fleas can reproduce so fast, be so hard to see, and nearly impossible to eliminate. It is important to trust a professional to help you get rid of fleas. Give us a call right away if you suspect a flea infestation.

  • Termite Control Services

    • How do I get my property under a warranty or termite bond with your company?
      One of our qualified sales representatives will need to perform an evaluation of the property to determine what is necessary to bond your home/business. Please Contact Us to schedule your service today!
    • How much damage do termites cause?
      The truth is there are two kinds of homes: those that have had termites and those that will get them. Termites work 24 hours/7 days a week at damaging the wood in and around a structure. Believe it or not, termites cause $5 billion in damage each year.
    • How much does a termite treatment cost?
      Termite treatments can range in price, depending on where you live, the construction of your home, severity of the infestation, and the type of treatment recommended. Please contact Hilton Head Exterminators today and we will provide you with a home inspection and evaluation.
    • How quickly can termites infest my home and how long will termite treatment last after completion?
      Subterranean termites may infest a home or any structure during the early stages of construction, especially if the structure has not been properly treated! Our termite treatment options are designed to act as a barrier and keep termites away from your home for long periods of time. However, many things can disturb the barrier such as landscaping, excessive rainfall, erosion of soil or leaky pipes. If the barrier is breached, termites may enter your home without detection. Every homeowner should keep a current and active subterranean termite warranty in effect for the safety of their home.
    • I’ve seen winged insects in my home. Do I have termites?
      Don’t panic. There are millions of species of winged insects, so they might not be termites. We can help you identify any pests you are seeing and offer treatment solutions. Contact us today for an inspection and identification.
    • What can I do around my home to keep termites away?
      There are a few major things to keep in mind. First, make sure to eliminate any sources of standing water and moisture. Water leaks attract termites to your home. Second, don’t stack firewood or lumber near your house. Make sure to inspect the wood for insects before bringing it into the house. Third, keep shrubbery and tree limbs cut back from the house. Fourth, always seal small cracks and openings along the foundation, window screens and doors. Finally, make sure to inspect your foundation and perimeter of the house for rotting wood, mud tubes or visible termites. If you have any questions, please call us today to schedule a consultation!
