Myrtle Beach is one of the premier vacation destinations on the East Coast of the United States, and with its sunny, subtropical climate, miles of pristine beaches edging the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and plenty for visitors to enjoy in the way of fishing, shopping, golf, watersports, dining, and more, it’s no wonder. Unfortunately, Myrtle Beach is also home to some annoying pests.
The Palmetto Bug is South Carolina’s most famous pest, and it is actually an American cockroach that grows unusually large. It prefers dark, dank places like refuse piles, garden waste, sewers, and so on. Other beetles plaguing Myrtle Beach residents can include boll weevils, cottonwood borers, June beetles, carpet beetles, emerald ash borers, and Asian lady beetles. These pests can be found all over South Carolina, from as far north as Columbia all the way to Mount Pleasant and Charleston. Fire ants cause painful bites across the state and are notoriously difficult to get rid of.
Insects are not the only pests in the Palmetto State. Rodents that can invade people’s homes include mice, Norway rats, and roof rats. Snakes like black racers, corn snakes, king snakes, garter snakes, rat snakes, and water snakes can become a problem under certain conditions. But the pest residents of Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, Conway, Little River, Murrells Inlet, and Pawleys Island dread above all others is the mean-spirited Canadian Goose.
