Ryan, with Palmetto Exterminators, has been servicing our home for almost 2 years. He is always very kind, respectful and willing to assist! He goes out of his way to ask questions in order to treat our home for specific issues compared to just a general treatment. He is very knowledgeable about the work that he does and all things pests and we are very appreciative of him and all he does!

I have always had a great experience with Palmetto Exterminators. We have used their company for over 10 years. Harry has been our guy for a while and he always comes and makes sure our house is clear from bugs. I highly recommend their services.

Mitch Smith

Harry does a great job with all the spiderwebs and spraying around the home. One of the most personable guys you’ll meet. I highly recommend not the company but their team. I had such a great experience with them for nine years in Charleston that we and we moved to Chapin. We immediately called Palmetto to take care of our home.

How does Palmetto Exterminators handle quarterly home visits?

What preparation does Palmetto Exterminators require for bed bug treatment?

The company provides a preparation checklist. People and pets must leave the treatment area during service and remain out for at least four hours or until the products have dried.

Does Palmetto Exterminators make rodent-related repairs or seal entry points?
