Since 2008, Carolina Exterminating has been more than just a pest control company—we’ve been a part of the Charleston community. Every home and business we serve matters to us personally, and we take pride in protecting the places where families live, work, and grow.

The Road To Carolina Exterminating
Drew Leilich didn’t grow up dreaming of pest control, but in 1998 he answered a newspaper ad that started his journey in the industry. He began his career with Terminix, quickly rising to top producer and territorial manager in just five years. He then honed his skills further at Palmetto Exterminators, gaining invaluable experience in both commercial and residential pest control.
Armed with real-world expertise, Drew founded Carolina Exterminating. Today, he and his team—including his wife Katie, a licensed commercial applicator—work tirelessly to bring Charleston the best integrated pest management solutions available.
