Ant Control in Summerville, SC

Ant Control built for Summerville homes

Summerville was founded on higher, well-drained ground specifically to escape the low-lying wetlands along the Ashley River, but the loamy soils across the area still include poorly drained depressions and low drainageways where moisture lingers after heavy rain. Sawmill Branch and Dorchester Creek carry that runoff toward the Ashley River, and ant colonies forage along those damp corridors and find their way into homes through foundation gaps and utility penetrations. Rainfall peaks from June through September, and foraging trails appear at interior plumbing lines and along baseboards during that stretch. Temperatures drop to freezing on roughly 45 nights each year, with the first freeze typically in mid-November, pushing colonies to seek warmth indoors well before the new year. A continuing program prevents that cycle from repeating season after season. Fire ants are a separate specialty service.
