He sprayed and removed spider webs, and let us know of any areas of concern. Thanks for helping us keep all the creepy crawlers at bay!

Clear Defense pest control have been wonderful. Everyone that has come to spray has been helpful and knowledge. Isaah who was out last took the time to hear my concerns. I love that when they are done in my yard the gate is always closed and secured. I added a picture of a dead roach, that spray works! Thank you Clear Defense! Update 10-11 Thank you John for removing all the spider webs!! Guys are fantastic Gage was just out to spray around my home. He knocked down any spider webs. I think I'm one of the few houses in my neighborhood that doesn't have huge joro spiders. Thank you Gage.

OUR PROCESS

From Nest Check to Focused Treatment

The bug is the symptom. The building is the problem. We treat both.

1. Inspect

We start by listening. Our technicians ask what you've been seeing and inspect the property to understand where pests are coming from and what conditions may be allowing them in.

2. Defend the Whole Property

Power sprayer treatment up to 30 ft, eaves, overhangs, every window and door seal, products that last 90 days, yard granulation included. Then we come back at 30 days to break the egg cycle.

3. Verify Every Step

After every visit, you get a defense report documenting every product by name, active ingredient, and EPA number. Your technician walks you through what was found and what was done. No mystery sprays. No guessing.

Frequently asked questions

Pest Control FAQs

Everything you need to know about how ClearDefense protects your home, and why our process is different from day one.

What hornet species are most active in Charleston, SC?

Bald-faced hornets are the most common hornet species near Charleston homes. They build large visible nests in trees, under eaves, and in dense ornamental shrubs. Yellow jackets nest underground near patios and inside wall cavities. Charleston’s long warm season gives hornets time to build up large colonies before fall — some nests hold over 400 insects by August.

How dangerous are hornets in Charleston, SC?

Bald-faced hornets and yellow jackets both sting multiple times without warning when a nest is disturbed. Anyone with an insect sting allergy faces serious risk near an active nest. Nests grow from small spring starts to several hundred hornets by late summer. Finding a nest early in spring is far safer than attempting removal from a mature fall nest. Professional removal with proper equipment eliminates the nest without putting you at risk.

How do I prevent hornets from building nests?

Keep your Charleston, SC space safe by checking for small wall cracks. Fix leaky sinks right away to dry out damp spots. Keep your dry cereal in thick plastic boxes.

Can I remove a hornet nest on my own?

Property layout and the location of activity matter when addressing hornet control in Charleston, SC. Disturbing a nest can trigger defensive stinging, so removal should be handled with appropriate protective equipment. ClearDefense technicians can treat reachable eaves up to twenty-five feet when the site conditions allow. The next step is based on verified activity, accessible areas, and the selected service.

How long does hornet control treatment take?

A focused inspection in Charleston, SC helps identify the source and the appropriate service steps. Timing depends on nest location, height, access, and whether more than one active area is present. The technician identifies the insect, treats the relevant nest or activity area, and explains any applicable re-treatment terms. The recommended plan will reflect the pest and the areas where activity is present.
