South Carolina has 25 counties inside the metro areas this site covers — together about 17,432 square miles of the state, organised around the Greenville, Charleston, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Spartanburg, Hilton Head Island metro areas. County pages exist because pest work is local at exactly this scale: licensing is by state, wildlife rules can vary locally, and a provider's actual service routes follow county and metro lines rather than state borders. Find your county below for its pest pressure profile and the metro guides that serve it.
The counties around a metro's core are often where the pressure is most interesting — newer subdivisions built into former farmland and woodland meet established pest populations at the edge, while the urban core deals with the pests of density. Each county page reads its own position in that pattern.
By land, the covered counties run from Horry County (1,133 sq mi), Berkeley County (1,104 sq mi), Aiken County (1,071 sq mi) down to Calhoun County at about 381 square miles. The metros anchoring coverage are Greenville (metro population 1,014,101; 4 covered counties in South Carolina); Charleston (metro population 889,263; 3 covered counties in South Carolina); Columbia (metro population 879,918; 6 covered counties in South Carolina); Myrtle Beach (metro population 427,551; 1 covered county in South Carolina); Spartanburg (metro population 407,656; 2 covered counties in South Carolina); Hilton Head Island (metro population 242,966; 2 covered counties in South Carolina); Florence (metro population 201,392; 2 covered counties in South Carolina). That is the arithmetic the county pages below work from: a county's size decides how spread out the addresses are, its metro decides the pest calendar, and neither number means much without the other.
Weather sets the calendar, and in Greenville — the state's anchor metro — it reads: 47 inches of precipitation annually, average temperatures around 63°F, 52 days reaching 90°F and 44 freezing days. The counties below share that regime; what changes county to county is housing, land and distance from the core.
