Pest control services for homes and businesses

Residential and Commercial Pest Control

Occasional invaders look for a new place to hide in your home. They can carry bacteria and disease and are a health hazard as well as being unsettling. Targeted treatments, including baits, traps and sprays, eliminate your problems and improve your peace of mind.

• Cockroaches: German, Smokybrown, Oriental, American and Brown Banded
• Fleas: the 3-zone defense, inside, outside and on the pet
• Ants: carpenter, Pharaoh, thief, Argentine and red imported fire ants; we locate the nest so the colony is destroyed
• Rats and mice: Norway rats, roof rats and house mice; baiting first, trapping when needed
• Spiders, including black widow and brown recluse

Termite Control

We recommend treatment techniques based on your home's construction type, after a thorough inspection: a liquid termiticide barrier, or Advance Termite Bait Stations that eliminate the entire colony. If termites happen to return following your treatment, we re-treat at no additional fee.

• Free termite inspections
• Wood Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) and pest inspections
• Liquid barrier treatment
• Advance Termite Bait Stations (ATBS)

Bed Bug Control

Bed bugs are small, flat, wingless insects, reddish-brown and 1 to 7 mm long, that feed on blood while people sleep. They hide in bed frames, mattress seams, box springs and cracks near the bed, usually within 6 to 8 feet of where people sleep. Our treatment combines heat and product application to your home or business: an immediate effect as well as ongoing control.

• Signs: bite marks, live bed bugs or shed skins, and blood spots on the mattress, bedding or nearby furniture

Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes find their hosts by moisture, warmth and carbon dioxide, and most stay within a three-mile range. Their bites cause red, itchy bumps through an allergic reaction to their saliva. Call us today and ask what we can do to help reduce mosquitoes.

Moisture Control

Moisture is the primary reason buildings deteriorate, and it can lead to wood-destroying insect infestations such as termites. Homes with low crawl spaces or poor ventilation often have moisture problems. Left untreated, moisture can cause serious damage to your home. Call us for a free inspection.

• Moisture barrier
• Dehumidifier
• Automatic vents
• Raising the level of soil in your crawl space

Powder Post Beetles

Small wood-boring beetles. In North Carolina the main concern is anobiid beetles, which attack the softwoods used for floor joists and wall studs; lyctid beetles attack hardwoods such as oak, hickory and maple, and turn up in antique furniture, cabinets, wood floors and moldings. Infested wood can look fine for months or years.

• Look for small round holes, about 1/32 to 1/16 inch across
• Light-colored, flour-like frass streaming from the holes or on the ground below
• Peak time for emerging beetles: May through August

Carpenter Bees

Seen in late spring and early summer, carpenter bees look like bumble bees but have shiny black, hairless abdomens. Females bore half-inch round holes into bare, stained or lightly painted wood, about an inch of gallery every six days, causing an unsightly appearance and structural weakness. They usually avoid well-painted wood.
