Pest Control North Augusta SC

• Who must be licensed. South Carolina's rules say anyone doing structural pest control on another person's property must be licensed by SC DPR in the right category, or work under the direct supervision of someone who is (S.C. Code Regs. 27-1085 L).
• The business license. A business office may not do structural pest control in South Carolina without an SC DPR Pest Control Business License, and that license is issued only when a Category 7A applicator is assigned to the location as its Designated Certified Applicator (27-1085 M).
• The categories. Clemson defines Category 7A as Industrial, Institutional, Structural, and Health-Related Pest Control, which covers pesticide use in and around homes and other structures; Category 7B is Fumigation with a restricted use fumigant (SC Certification Categories).

A Georgia credential does not, by itself, show that a company is licensed for work at a South Carolina address. Check the company in the SC DPR register yourself. The termite treatment page covers the Georgia side of the river.

• Names appear exactly as the register prints them, in alphabetical order, with the number of 7A or 7B applicator records the register showed for each business on the retrieval date.
• Individual applicators' names and license numbers are not reproduced; look a business up in the register by typing its name in the Company field.
• One 7A or 7B record with no business name was left out. Every 7A or 7B record showed an expiration date of 12/31/2026.
• The register carries the notice "This information can not be used legally for commercial solicitation." This page reproduces business names for consumer verification only. We are not affiliated with the listed businesses; the company you are connected with may or may not appear here.
• We re-pull this list monthly. Next scheduled refresh: November 2026.

What the inspection must include at a minimum (27-1085 K(3)):

• A visual inspection of all accessible parts of the interior and exterior, including crawlspaces, utility areas and attics.
• Sounding and probing of all areas where damage is visible.
• Representative wood moisture readings around the inside perimeter of the crawlspace and in the accessible center.
• The nature and activity of visible wood-destroying insect infestations and the cause of visible damage.
• Wood-decay fungi and decay damage below the level of the first main living-area floor.

What the report must disclose (27-1085 K(5)): inaccessible parts of the structure; visible insect damage; active and previous infestations; the moisture readings and any excessive moisture; and the location and approximate extent of each finding. The rules treat wood moisture readings at or above 20 percent, or standing water in the crawlspace, as excessive moisture, and say decay fungi become active at 28 percent and above (27-1085 J).

What it is not: the report is not a warranty against future infestation and does not oblige the issuing business to correct reported damage (27-1085 K(6)), and it is not a report on health-related fungi (27-1085 K(4)).

1. The South Carolina license. Business license and applicator license numbers, checked yourself in the SC DPR Commercial Applicator search (choose Aiken County or type the company name). Nobody at this site checks credentials for you.
2. Formosan coverage. South Carolina requires subterranean termite contract or warranty documents to state whether Formosan subterranean termites are covered and whether that coverage is retreatment only or includes repair (27-1085 B(4)).
3. Any skipped standard. If a treatment standard will not be done, the rules require an Official Waiver of Standards Form signed by the owner before work begins (27-1085 C).
4. The product. Name and EPA registration number, so you can read the label and its re-entry interval.
5. A written quote before work starts.
