The first crucial step in addressing any potential termite problem is a thorough inspection.

We meticulously examine all accessible areas of your property, both interior and exterior, paying close attention to vulnerable points where termites are likely to enter and establish colonies. This detailed assessment allows us to accurately determine the extent of the infestation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
During a termite inspection, we go beyond a superficial look. Our experts perform a comprehensive assessment, which includes:
Once the inspection is complete and we have a clear understanding of the termite problem, we implement targeted treatment strategies. Our approach utilizes advanced products and techniques to eradicate existing termite colonies and create a protective barrier to prevent future infestations.

Pest problems are a common concern for property owners in Durham and the surrounding areas. Recognizing the signs of an infestation early on is crucial for preventing significant damage and health risks. Our comprehensive pest control services are designed to address a wide range of pest issues, covering everything from annoying household insects to destructive termites. We’ll delve into some of the most common problems we encounter and the tell-tale signs that indicate it is time to call in the professionals.
Seeing a few ants occasionally is one thing, but when you start noticing consistent trails of ants marching into your home, especially towards food sources, it’s a clear indication of a larger problem. Ants are social insects that live in colonies and can quickly multiply. They are attracted to food crumbs, spills, and moisture. Ant infestations can contaminate food and are a nuisance to deal with. Our ant control services involve identifying the ant species, locating their nests, and applying targeted treatments to eliminate the colony and prevent them from returning.
Mice and rats are not just unpleasant to see; they can pose serious health risks and cause significant damage to your property. Signs of rodent activity include small droppings, gnaw marks on furniture, wires, or food packaging, and scratching sounds coming from walls or attics. Rodents can spread diseases, contaminate food preparation areas, and even cause fires by chewing on electrical wiring. Our rodent control services involve trapping and removal, sealing entry points to prevent re-entry, and providing advice on how to make your property less attractive to rodents. We use humane and effective methods to ensure the safety of your family and pets.
While some spiders are relatively harmless, others can deliver painful bites. An increasing number of spiders and the presence of numerous cobwebs throughout your home can be a sign of an underlying insect problem, as spiders feed on other insects. Our spider control services involve identifying the type of spiders present, treating areas where they are commonly found, and addressing the insect populations that attract them. We aim to reduce spider populations and create a less hospitable environment for them.
Certain insects, like bees, wasps, and hornets, can create nests close to or within your property, posing a stinging hazard. Swarming insects, such as termites or flying ants, can also indicate a serious infestation, particularly during certain times of the year when they swarm to reproduce. Dealing with stinging insects or swarming termites requires caution and expertise. Our services for flying insects and swarms involve safely removing nests, identifying the type of insect, and implementing strategies to prevent them from rebuilding. We prioritize the safety of both our technicians and your family during these types of treatments.
As mentioned earlier, termites are a significant threat. While often hidden, visible signs of termite damage should never be ignored. This includes finding mud tubes on external walls, discovering discarded wings near windowsills, noticing hollow-sounding wood when tapped, or seeing buckling paint or warped wood that is not due to moisture. By the time visible damage is present, the infestation may already be extensive. If you suspect termite activity, it is crucial to get a professional inspection as soon as possible to assess the damage and begin treatment.
Construction, renovations, or significant landscaping projects can sometimes disturb existing pest habitats and drive pests towards your home. This is particularly true for termites, which can be nesting in the soil around your property. Changes in the landscape can also alter drainage patterns, potentially creating moister conditions that attract pests. If you’ve recently undergone construction or landscaping and notice an increase in pest activity, it is wise to have a pest control professional assess the situation to prevent a full-blown infestation.
Certain pests can leave behind distinct odors. For example, rodents can produce a musky smell from their urine and droppings. Termite infestations, particularly in advanced stages, can also sometimes produce a moldy or mildewy smell. If you detect unusual or persistent odors in your home that you cannot identify, it could be a sign of a hidden pest problem. Our technicians are trained to identify these odors and investigate their source.
Pest problems are not limited to inside your home. Many pests can also cause damage to your garden and landscaping. Aphids, slugs, snails, and various other insects can feed on your plants, leading to wilting, discoloration, and stunted growth. While we specialize in structural pest control, recognizing signs of garden pests can sometimes be an indicator of other pest issues around your property. Healthy plants and a well-maintained garden can also help deter some pests from approaching your home.
While the occasional spider or ant may find its way inside, if you are consistently seeing pests both inside and outside your home, it suggests a larger population is present. This indicates that pests are likely breeding and nesting on or near your property. Our comprehensive pest management approach begins with an assessment of your entire property, including the exterior, to identify potential entry points and nesting sites. Addressing pest issues on the exterior is often key to preventing them from entering your home.
Certain pests, like mosquitoes, bed bugs, and fleas, can cause itchy bites that disrupt your sleep. Rodents and some insects active at night can also create disturbing sounds, such as scratching, scurrying, or buzzing, making it difficult to get a restful night’s sleep. If you are experiencing difficulty sleeping due to unexplained bites or noises, it is essential to investigate the possibility of a pest infestation. Our services include targeting biting insects and rodents to restore your peace of mind and ensure a healthy sleeping environment.
Pests, particularly rodents and cockroaches, can produce allergens that trigger allergic reactions and exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma. If you or members of your household are experiencing unexplained allergic symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, or skin rashes, it could be linked to a hidden pest infestation. Our pest control services aim to eliminate the source of these allergens by eradicating the pest populations responsible.
Finding pest feces is one of the most definitive signs of an infestation. The appearance of feces varies depending on the type of pest, but any discovery of droppings, regardless of size or shape, should be a cause for concern. Pest feces can carry bacteria and pathogens, posing health risks. Our technicians are trained to identify different types of pest feces and use this information to confirm the presence of a specific pest and locate their nesting areas.
Rodents are notorious for chewing on electrical wiring and pipes, which can lead to serious property damage, fire hazards, and plumbing issues. If you discover damaged wiring, unexplained power outages, or leaks that cannot be attributed to other causes, consider the possibility of a rodent infestation. Our rodent control services address the rodents themselves and can also involve recommending qualified professionals to repair any damage they have caused.
Your pets may be the first to detect a pest problem. Changes in their behavior, such as excessive scratching, agitation, or focusing intently on specific areas of your home, could indicate the presence of pests like fleas, ticks, or even rodents hidden within walls. If your pet’s behavior suddenly changes and you cannot identify an obvious cause, it is worth considering a pest inspection.
Slugs and snails can leave behind silvery slime trails as they move. While these pests are typically found in gardens, discovering slime trails indoors could indicate that they are entering your home seeking moisture or shelter. Our pest control services can address slug and snail problems, both indoors and outdoors, and help identify and seal entry points that these pests might be using.
As insects grow, they shed他们的 outer layer, or exoskeleton. Finding shed skins from pests like cockroaches, spiders, or even termites can indicate an active population is living and growing within your property. Termite swarmers will shed their wings after finding a mate, leaving piles of small, translucent wings near windows or light sources.
Beyond just generalized musty smells, specific areas with concentrated musty odors could be indicative of certain pests that thrive in damp environments. Cockroaches, in particular, can leave behind a musty odor, especially in areas with high humidity like bathrooms and kitchens. Identifying the source of such odors is a crucial step in accurately diagnosing and treating the pest problem.
While termites are the primary concern when it comes to wood-boring pests, other insects like carpenter ants and powderpost beetles can also infest and damage wooden structures. Finding small holes, dust-like particles (frass), or tunnels within wood suggests the presence of a wood-boring pest. Our services involve identifying the specific wood-boring pest and applying appropriate treatments to eradicate them and prevent further damage.
Waking up with unexplained bite marks can be unsettling and is often a strong indicator of biting pests like bed bugs, fleas, or mosquitoes. Identifying the type of bite can help narrow down the potential culprit. Our pest control experts are experienced in identifying the signs of these biting pests and implementing effective eradication methods to eliminate them from your home and alleviate your discomfort.
Discovering a visible pest nest or colony is a clear sign of an infestation that requires professional attention. This could be anything from a wasp nest under the eaves to a termite colony discovered during a renovation. Attempting to remove a nest or colony without proper knowledge and equipment can be dangerous. Our technicians are trained to safely and effectively remove pest nests and colonies and implement measures to prevent them from returning.
