Wasp nest, bed bugs, or a swarm right now?
- 1Do not spray a wasp or hornet nest yourself in daylight; agitated colonies sting in numbers and the nest usually survives.
- 2For bed bugs, stop moving mattresses and luggage between rooms right now: that is how one room becomes the whole house.
- 3For a termite swarm indoors, collect a few insects in a bag for identification and do not disturb the rest.
- 4Then call the companies above and ask specifically for same-day or next-day treatment availability.

What does pest control cost?
National research range
$100 to $300 per visit
Quarterly recurring service runs about $100 to $200 per visit; one-time treatments and specialty work like termites cost more. These are typical U.S. ranges from our research, not Landrum-specific quotes; local prices vary with the job.
See the full Pest Control cost guideWhat moves the price
- One-time treatment versus a quarterly plan, which almost always costs less per visit.
- The pest itself: general ants and roaches sit at the low end, termites and bed bugs are their own category.
- Square footage and whether the crawlspace, attic, and yard perimeter are included.
- Follow-up visits: ask whether re-treatment inside the warranty window is free.
Ask each company to confirm these in writing before work starts. One free request above reaches up to three of them at once.
Pests Landrum, SC companies actually treat
What a pest control company here gets called for, when it shows up, and which ones take an ongoing plan rather than a single visit. 5 of these 8 normally need recurring service.
Formosan termite control in Landrum, SC
Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings near windowsills and doors after a swarm, and soft or hollow-sounding wood. Colonies work hidden, so if you see wings indoors, photograph them and call a licensed termite pro for a full inspection before anything else.
A far more aggressive subterranean termite with colonies in the millions.
What treatment involves. Whole-structure treatment. Spot treatment does not hold against this one.
Subterranean termite control in Landrum, SC
Landrum's humid summers keep soil moist, which is what these termites need to stay active and reach a house. Dry winters slow surface activity, but they do not remove the risk. Treat damp soil near the foundation as a warning sign, not a comfort.
The most destructive structural pest in the country, working out of sight from the soil.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroach control in Landrum, SC
Check kitchens and bathrooms first, especially behind the fridge, under sinks and inside cabinet hinges near the dishwasher. Small dark specks like pepper and a musty smell are early signs. Wipe up grease and crumbs, and note where you see them for the technician.
Breeds indoors fast and spreads between units, so a few become an infestation in weeks.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice control in Landrum, SC
Humid summers give way to dry winters here, and falling nights are what push mice toward garages, attics and wall voids. Fall is the time to walk the foundation and seal gaps, because mice can squeeze through very small openings once the cold arrives.
Comes indoors as it cools, and chews wiring and insulation once established.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bug treatment in Landrum, SC
Check mattress seams, box spring corners and headboard crevices for tiny rust-colored spots and shed skins. After travel, keep luggage off beds and upholstered chairs. If you find signs, avoid moving bedding between rooms and tell the pro exactly where you saw them.
Arrives on luggage and furniture, not from poor housekeeping, and spreads room to room.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rat control in Landrum, SC
Listen for scratching or running in the attic at night, and look for gnawed wiring, droppings along beams, and greasy rub marks near roofline gaps. Trim tree limbs touching the roof, since overhanging branches give them an easy bridge into your home.
Travels along roof lines and gets into attics, palms and citrus.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ant control in Landrum, SC
Look for dome mounds in sunny lawn, along driveways and against foundations, and watch for ants pouring out when the soil is disturbed. Keep kids and pets away from mounds and never pour gasoline on them. A pro can treat the whole yard, not just one mound.
Aggressive stinging mounds in lawns and near foundations, a real risk with kids and pets.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Mosquito control in Landrum, SC
Walk your yard and dump anything holding water, like buckets, clogged gutters, plant saucers and old tires. Mosquitoes rest in shaded foliage near where people sit outside. Doing this between visits helps any treatment last, since breeding happens close to home.
Breeds in standing water within a few feet of where people are bitten.
What treatment involves. Source reduction plus barrier treatment on resting sites, repeated through the season.
Pest control plans in Landrum, SC, and what each one leaves out
Two quotes for pest control are rarely quoting the same thing. One covers ants and spiders four times a year, another includes rodents and free return visits, a third is a termite contract with a yearly renewal. Each service below has the one question that makes quotes comparable.
Recurring general pest plans
A technician treats the outside perimeter and the places pests get in, checks and refreshes bait stations where they are used, and treats inside only where there is activity. Most plans include return visits between scheduled services if covered pests come back.
Five of the eight pests common here, German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants and mosquitoes, usually need repeat visits. A quarterly plan fits that pattern better than a single spray. Ask exactly which of those pests your quote covers before you sign.
What moves the price. Home and lot size, how many pests the plan covers, how often the visits are, and the first visit, which is usually heavier and priced higher than the routine ones that follow.
Ask before booking. Which pests does the plan cover, and which ones, such as termites, bed bugs, rodents or mosquitoes, cost extra?
The honest part. Most general plans leave out the expensive problems. Termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion are usually separate contracts, so a low recurring price can be a plan for ants and spiders only. Read the exclusions before you compare prices.
Termite treatment, liquid or bait
A liquid treatment puts termiticide into the soil around and under the structure so termites cannot reach the wood. A bait system places monitored stations around the house that termites feed on and carry back to the colony. Many companies offer both, and some combine them.
Landrum's list includes Formosan and subterranean termites, and Formosan colonies in particular call for whole-structure treatment rather than spot work. Ask each company whether they propose liquid, bait or both, and who services the bait stations after installation.
What moves the price. The structure's perimeter length, slab or crawlspace foundation, whether concrete has to be drilled, and for baits, the monitoring visits that continue after installation.
Ask before booking. Which method do you recommend for this house and why, and what does the warranty require me to keep paying each year?
The honest part. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquid barriers mainly keep termites out of the treated zone. A bait system only works while someone services it, so stations nobody checks protect nothing.
Termite warranties and renewals
After treatment most companies sell an annual renewal that keeps the warranty in force, with a yearly inspection. There are two kinds. Retreatment only means the company treats again if termites come back. Repair and retreatment also pays to fix new damage, up to a stated limit.
When comparing termite quotes, ask for the warranty document itself, not the sales sheet. Find out if it is retreatment only or includes repair, what the repair cap is, and what voids it. Missed renewals and new construction against the house are common traps.
What moves the price. Which kind of warranty it is, the repair limit, the size of the structure, and whether it transfers to a buyer if you sell.
Ask before booking. Is this retreatment only, or does it pay to repair new damage, and up to what amount?
The honest part. A retreatment-only warranty leaves every repair bill with you, and standard homeowners policies exclude damage from insects, termites included. Ask for the warranty document itself rather than the sales sheet, and check what voids it, such as missed renewals or new construction against the house.
Termite inspection for a home sale
A wood destroying insect inspection documents evidence of termites and other wood-destroying insects, existing damage, and conditions that invite them, usually on the standard NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one where termite infestation probability is moderate to heavy, and many buyers order one either way.
If you are selling or buying, book the inspection early so any findings do not stall closing. Ask for the written NPMA-33 report, and consider a second opinion on a big treatment quote, since the company inspecting may also be selling the fix.
What moves the price. House size, crawlspace and attic access, detached structures, and how quickly the report is needed before closing.
Ask before booking. Will the report be on the form my lender accepts, and how long is it valid before closing?
The honest part. An inspection reports what is visible and reachable that day. It does not promise there are no termites behind finished walls, and a company that inspects and also sells the treatment has a reason to find something, so a second opinion on a large treatment quote is reasonable.
Rodent exclusion
Finding and sealing the gaps mice and rats use to get in, at the foundation, roof line, vents, garage doors and utility lines, then trapping what is already inside. Sealing is what ends the problem. Trapping alone only thins it out.
Mice and roof rats are both on this list, and they enter differently. Mice use foundation gaps and garage doors, while roof rats travel roof lines into attics. Ask any quote to include sealing work at both levels, not only traps or bait boxes.
What moves the price. How many entry points there are, roof and attic access, the sealing materials, and the number of follow-up visits to check traps.
Ask before booking. Is sealing the entry points part of this quote, and is the work guaranteed if they get back in?
The honest part. Bait boxes on a recurring plan manage rodents outside but do not stop them coming in. If a quote has no sealing work in it, it is a monitoring service, not exclusion.
Mosquito and tick programs
A seasonal program that treats the shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest and the yard edges where ticks wait, and deals with standing water where mosquitoes breed. It is repeated through the season because each treatment wears off.
Mosquitoes are the one pest on this list that is mainly a seasonal yard problem. A program repeats through the warm months because each treatment wears off. Ask how many visits are included and what you should do about standing water in between.
What moves the price. Yard size, how much dense planting there is, the number of treatments in the season, and whether ticks are included.
Ask before booking. How many visits does the season include, and what do you do about standing water on my property?
The honest part. Barrier treatments reduce mosquitoes in the yard, they do not eliminate them, and mosquitoes from neighbouring yards keep arriving. Emptying standing water is the part that stops breeding, and you can do it yourself between visits.
One-time treatments
A single visit for a specific problem, such as a wasp nest, a pantry infestation or an isolated ant problem, without signing up for a plan.
Before booking a single visit, ask what is covered and whether any return trip costs extra. A one-time job fits something like a wasp nest, but ask what happens if the problem returns. Get the price in writing, including any trip charge.
What moves the price. The pest, how established it is, how many rooms or nests are involved, and whether a follow-up visit is included.
Ask before booking. Is a follow-up visit included if the problem comes back within a few weeks?
The honest part. One visit fits some pests and not others. German cockroaches, bed bugs and most ant colonies take follow-up visits to finish, so a one-time price for those usually means paying again.
What the Landrum climate means for pests
- The climate here is humid in summer and dry in winter, and pressure is seasonal, building through humid summers and pushing indoors as the weather turns.
Climate class from DOE Building America county zones.
Six checks before you sign a pest control contract
Pest control is a licensed trade, so the first check is a real one with the state. The rest are about what the contract commits you to, which matters more than the price on the first page.
Check the applicator license
Commercial pesticide application is regulated in every state, and in this state applicator certification is handled by Clemson University's Department of Pesticide Regulation. Ask the company for its license number and the name of the certified applicator, then confirm both with the state.
Find the agency's contact details (NPIC)Get an inspection before a termite or rodent price
A recurring plan can be quoted from the size of the house, but termite and rodent work cannot. A price given on the phone before anyone has looked at the foundation, attic and entry points is a guess.
Compare the first visit and the recurring price separately
The first service is usually heavier and priced higher than the routine visits that follow. Two plans with the same quarterly price can cost very different amounts in the first year.
Read the contract length and how to cancel
Many plans renew automatically or carry a minimum term. Ask how you cancel and whether any fee applies before you sign, not after the second visit.
Ask about free return visits
Most recurring plans send a technician back between scheduled services if covered pests return. Ask whether that is included and how soon they come out once you call.
Ask what product is being used
Ask for the product name, and follow the directions the technician gives you, which come from the product label, on when people and pets can go back into treated areas. The label, not a sales line, governs how a pesticide is used.
When to book pest control in Landrum

Frequently asked questions
What does a termite warranty actually cover?
It depends on the type. A retreatment-only warranty means the company treats again if termites return, but any repair bill is yours. A repair and retreatment warranty also pays for new damage up to a stated limit. Standard homeowners policies exclude insect damage, so ask for the actual warranty document and check what voids it.
Can I get a one-time pest control visit in Landrum?
Yes, one-time visits exist, and they suit a wasp nest or an isolated problem. But 5 of the 8 pests common here usually need a recurring plan, including German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, fire ants and mosquitoes. A one-time price for those often means paying again after follow-up visits.
Is a pest control plan in Landrum worth it?
A plan usually covers the outside perimeter, entry points, bait stations and indoor spots with activity, plus return visits if covered pests come back. It often leaves out termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion. With 5 of this page's 8 common pests needing recurring care, read the exclusions before comparing prices.
Do I need a termite inspection to sell my house in Landrum?
Not always, but many buyers order one anyway. A wood destroying insect inspection is usually documented on the standard NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one where termite infestation probability is moderate to heavy. It reports only what is visible and reachable that day, so it cannot rule out termites behind finished walls.
Do these companies cover areas near Landrum?
Landrum sits in Spartanburg County, and each company sets its own service area. Some may reach nearby towns while others stay close to home. Check a company's service area before you book. One free quote request goes to up to 3 pros, so you can ask each directly whether they come to you.
What should I expect to pay for pest control in Landrum?
Typical U.S. pricing runs about $100 to $300 per visit. A quarterly plan usually costs less per visit than a one-time treatment, and termites and bed bugs are priced separately. Square footage, crawlspace, attic, yard and free follow-up visits all move the number. One free request gets you exact local prices.
