About us

Hello,

My name is Matt McLaughlin, my brother Jim and I started The Pest Force in 1993 under the premise that there should be a more professional approach to pest management in our area.

From the very start we looked beyond the standard, toward a goal of producing top notch Pest Management Professionals PMPs. The Pest Force was the first company to receive QualityPro status in the Myrtle Beach area, a program the requires stringent standards to earn the right to wear the seal, www.npmaqualitypro.com. We are recognized as Master Termite Technicians through Clemson University and we have received special training on properly performing and reporting on the Official South Carolina Wood Infestation Report (cl-100). We are proud members of the South Carolina Realtors Association. www.thepestforce.com

Services

The Pest Force has many years of experience

dealing with pests of all kinds

Bed Bug infestations are on the rise but The Pest Force has been very seccesfulin fighting these intrusive pests.

The Pest Force has a new division that will focus on creating a less inviting environment for pests in and around properties.

Below is a partial list of some areas that will be addressed by our Sensible Service Division:

General house hold pests: ants, roaches, spiders, earwigs, silverfish, fire brats, millipedes, centipedes

Wood destroying insects: Termites, Carpenter Bees, Carpenter Ants, Powder Post Beetles, Old house Borer Beetles

Rodents: Mice, Roof Rats, Norway RatsYard pests: Fire Ants, Grubs, Fleas, Ticks

1.) Inspect structure and report all findings, pest related or not. (attics, crawlspaces, interior exterior)

2.) Remove debris from roofs and gutters.( leaves, pine needles, branches)

3.) Seal or screen entry points around the exterior.( utilities, vents, weep holes, window & door frames)

4.) Thin out mulch.

5.) Correct moisture conditions.( gutter drainage, standing water, condensation pipes)

6.) Removing harboring areas. ( inside and outside nest areas)

7.) Trim back overgrown tree branches and bushes.

8.) Rake up leaves.

9.) Clean under and around stove, fridge, washer & dryer and other hard to reach interior areas.

10.) Remove debris from crawlspace.

Wow, a lot to consider in this partial list and we haven't even begun any treatment yet.

The Pest Force believes it just makes sense to attack the source and not just focus on the symptom.
