Longs is where Neon started, and it's still where most of our routes run.
Our shop sits right on Hwy 9 in Longs, so when we say we're local, we mean it literally — this is the town we reach fastest and know best. Longs is also one of the fastest-growing parts of Horry County, with subdivision after subdivision going up on what used to be farmland and pine. That growth pattern creates a specific pest profile: wide-open sun-baked yards, disturbed soil, and wooded lot lines pushing insects toward brand-new homes.
Quarterly vs. bi-monthly here
Plenty of Longs homes on tidy interior lots do great on our Quarterly Pest Package — four seasonal visits covering the full roster of ants, roaches, palmetto bugs, crickets, silverfish, spiders and more. But if you back to woods, a pond, or open field, we usually recommend bi-monthly: six visits a year, and crucially it adds fire-ant control for the lawn, which is the number-one complaint we hear in Longs.
The pests that actually matter in Longs
- Fire ants — the top complaint here. Open, sunny, sandy yards are perfect habitat, and mounds pop back up fast after every mow.
- Ants and spiders marching in from wooded lot lines, worst on lots backing to pine.
- Termites — steady pressure, and new construction is not immune; disturbed soil and cellulose debris left at the build attract them.
- Rodents in fall on properties near fields, ponds and outbuildings.
- Palmetto bugs and crickets coming out of fresh mulch and pine-straw beds against the foundation.
Fire ants need a program, not a mound treatment
Knocking down a single mound just moves the colony a few feet. Actual control means treating the whole yard so new colonies can't establish — then keeping it treated. That's why fire-ant control comes built into our bi-monthly pest plan and our Premium Complete lawn program, rather than being sold as a one-off.
New construction doesn't mean termite-proof
A lot of Longs is under five years old, and buyers assume a new build is safe. It isn't. Grading brings soil moisture up against the slab, buried scrap lumber feeds colonies, and pre-treatments fade. A free termite inspection installs Trelona® bait stations if you move forward, with up to $1,000,000 in warranty coverage, $0 deductible, subject to a qualifying inspection.
