NOTE
Be aware that it is possible but not likely that you may see Palmetto bugs, a relative of cockroaches, and other insects in or around the house. Insects are very common in the South Carolina Low Country. While they prefer outside habitats, their wanderings will occasionally take them inside where you may encounter them. We do have monthly scheduled treatments around the house and inside as needed.
