Services

Termite Treatment

Our trained professionals provide comprehensive termite inspections and five-year preventative treatments. Using advanced detection methods, we identify hidden infestations and apply soil treatments that protect wood structures. Annual inspections ensure ongoing protection against these destructive pests that thrive in southern climates.

Mosquito Control

We implement targeted soil treatments that reduce mosquito breeding while protecting beneficial insects. Our environmentally conscious approach creates inhospitable conditions for mosquitoes, decreasing their population in treated yards through seasonally adjusted application schedules tailored to local climate patterns.

Roach Control

Specialized treatments target German and Asian roaches using multi-visit protocols to eliminate hidden colonies. We focus on hard-to-reach areas like appliances and plumbing lines, employing EPA-approved chemicals that break breeding cycles and prevent reinfestation in residential environments.

Bee/Wasp Removal

Our technicians safely remove bee hives and wasp nests while prioritizing honey bee relocation. We treat infestations with protective measures against aggressive species like red paper wasps, eliminating colonies while preventing future nesting in structural eaves and siding.

Ant Extermination

We address multiple ant species including fire ants, carpenter ants, and pharaoh ants through targeted baiting and barrier treatments. Our methods destroy colonies at their source while preventing structural damage from carpenter ants and protecting families from painful fire ant bites.

As a Real Estate agent I use and recommended John to all my clients. John is very affordable and gets the job done with a guarantee. One of my clients had a tenant that left the house with a major flea infestation. There were thousands of fleas inside and outside the house. After charging me only $270 he came out 6-7 times to make sure the fleas were completely gone. I even offered to pay him more because I felt he undercharged me for the job he was doing. He refused. Other companies quoted me $400-$600 without a guarantee. I will definitely continue using Southern Pest Control and recommend John

John has been spraying our house for over 15 years and always calls to schedule when its time so I dont have to think about it. One time I dropped my wedding ring down the sink. I knew he would be coming to spray so I left a note so he wouldnt turn on the sink. Instead I came home to my wedding ring on the counter. He took the sink apart to retrieve it for me. Such a sweet thing to do!

We have been with Southern Pest for over 25 years. They are super friendly and reliable. I can't imagine using anyone else. We used his father, John Sr. for many years, both dad and son for several and John Jr. for the last few. Very professional and reliable service.

The owner is very responsive and informative. He is always willing to help & answer all my questions. I have dogs, so I get very concerned about treatment with them. He will let me know what works best & safest with them. Scheduling is easy and always professional when they are at my home. Definitely recommend. We switched to them from another company because their pricing was better. He is very thorough, does a great job and is very friendly. I highly recommend them!
