A Local Homeowner’s Guide by Lamp’s Pest Solutions
If you live in Lexington, South Carolina, you already know our warm climate means great lake days, backyard cookouts—and plenty of uninvited six-legged guests. From evenings by Lake Murray to strolls through Virginia Hylton Park, our humid weather is paradise for people and pests.
That’s where Lamp’s Pest Solutions comes in. For more than a decade, we’ve helped families in Lexington, Red Bank, Oak Grove, Gilbert, and Batesburg-Leesville enjoy their homes without the ants, roaches, and spiders that thrive here.
But here’s the thing: we’re not a “spray-and-go” company. Every home is different, so every service we perform is different. The following examples show what a typical Quarterly Pest Control Plan looks like—but your Lamp’s technician will tailor each visit to your specific home, pest pressures, and season.
🌦️ Why Lexington Homes Need Quarterly Pest Control
South Carolina’s humid subtropical climate keeps pests active nearly all year. They don’t hibernate—they just change where they hang out.
In spring, ants and spiders emerge. In summer, palmetto bugs and crickets look for shade. Fall brings millipedes and centipedes sneaking under thresholds. Winter? Cockroaches and moisture-lovers cozy up under mulch and slabs.
That’s why Quarterly Pest Control in Lexington SC works: four well-timed, exterior-focused visits about every 90 days—each one customized to stop seasonal invaders before they get inside.
Lamp’s Pro Tip: Pests are seasonal, but prevention is permanent. Stay consistent and you’ll stay ahead.

(Every home is unique. This chart shows a general example of what our Lexington clients might experience and how we typically respond.)
Rodents and stinging insects (wasps, hornets, yellow jackets) aren’t part of our quarterly plan but can be handled through our Stinging Insect Service.
🧰 Exactly What We Typically Do on a Quarterly Visit
There’s no cookie-cutter routine at Lamp’s Pest Solutions. Here’s what usually happens—but your technician may adjust products or methods depending on what they find that day.
Pre-Service Reminder: Text, email, or call 24–48 hours ahead.
Exterior Inspection: Walk the perimeter, identify new entry points, note conducive conditions.
Custom Treatment: Your tech decides the mix of tools needed— • Liquid barrier 3 ft up / 3 ft out along foundation. • Granular bait for ants, palmetto bugs, earwigs, and others. • Precision applications around doors, windows, and penetrations. • Dust or gel baits for hidden voids and cracks. • Spider-web knock-down up to 20 ft high.
Video Recap: If you’re away, we send a short video showing what was done.
Digital Service Report: Delivered to your inbox with product list and prevention tips.
Free Re-Service Guarantee: If covered pests return, so do we — free of charge.
Because most problems start outside, we can solve them outside. Interior work happens only if your tech sees a reason to go inside.
Lamp’s Pro Tip: A strong exterior barrier means you rarely need indoor treatments—safer for kids, pets, and peace of mind.
📊Typical Quarterly Visit Overview
(Again — this is a typical pattern. Each home and season may require different techniques or products.)
Mice and stinging insects (wasps, hornets, yellow jackets) aren’t included in the quarterly plan. Ask about separate Rodent Control or Stinging Insect Control.
Each treatment builds on the last — layer by layer — creating a defensive shield customized to your property, not mass-produced.
Lamp’s Pro Tip: Consistency is your superpower. Even with custom service, skipping a quarter lets pests find an opening.
🧭 The Lamp’s Difference

🧾 What Makes Quarterly Pest Control Worth It?
Let’s face it—anyone can spray bugs. But true pest prevention is about timing, precision, and consistency.
Quarterly vs One-Time Pest Control
Lamp’s Pro Tip: One-time treatments chase pests after they appear; quarterly service prevents them from showing up at all.
🕷️ Real-World Success Story — Red Bank: The Spider Garage
Last July, a Red Bank homeowner kept finding spiders in the garage despite every store-bought spray.
We found two culprits: gaps under the garage door and firewood stacked against the siding.
Here’s what we suggested during their first quarterly service:
Seal the garage sweep.
Moved firewood 20 ft away.
Applied a low-toxicity residual dust in wall voids.
Trim branches away from house.
Result: Zero spiders after six weeks—and they renewed their plan for 2025.
Lamp’s Pro Tip: Fixing conducive conditions is half the battle. A small change outside often prevents a big problem inside.
