lake city, south carolina

Tucked away in the southern warmth of Florence County, this charming and dynamic city has captured our hearts at Eastland Pest Control, and it's easy to see why.

Founded in the 1850s, the city, originally named Graham's Crossroads, experienced a boom with the advent of the railroad. The myriad shimmering lakes around the town led to the moniker change to Lake City, in the 1880s. Our city wears its history proudly, with remnants of the past speaking volumes about our roots and evolution.

With a population of around 6,00 residents, Lake City presents a mosaic of cultures. We revel in this diversity, appreciating the rich tapestry it weaves in our daily lives. Our city is not just a place; it is a feeling, an experience – one of unity in diversity and shared community values. Lake City's economic pulse is steady, with roots deep in agriculture, particularly tobacco. As the times have changed, our city has adapted with an impressive balance of tradition and innovation, with burgeoning retail, education, and healthcare sectors.

Nestled amidst our city's appeal is a subtropical climate, creating an environment that, while delightful for residents, unfortunately, also appeals to various pests. Our numerous lakes and warm weather can attract anything from mosquitoes to termites, demanding a vigilant approach to pest control.

But Lake City is more than just its lakes and rich economic landscape. We have stories etched into our very foundation; tales that make us unique. Lake City is not named after a singular lake but a constellation of them, dotting our landscapes with tranquil beauty. Our legacy carries the name of Mary McLeod Bethune, an inspirational figure born in nearby Mayesville, who dedicated her life to advancing African-American education. These tales enrich our identity and breathe life into our shared heritage.  

When it comes to attractions, Lake City has much to offer. Explore the lush beauty of Moore Farms Botanical Garden, immerse yourself in local history at the Lynches Lake Historical Society, or experience contemporary art at the Jones-Carter Gallery. If you find yourself in Lake City in the spring, don't miss the annual ArtFields festival, a nine-day art competition showcasing the best of Southern art.

Lake City's vibrant local businesses and the culinary scene only add to the city's charm. From mouth-watering southern cuisine at local eateries like The Shrimper to shopping at the Main Street Market, there's something for everyone.

Yet, the challenges that come with pests remain. The city's warmth, humidity, and its waterside location can attract pests, posing potential threats to public health, infrastructure, and businesses. Mosquitoes, roaches, and termites are common issues, often requiring professional pest management strategies.
