Trusted Termite Control in Greenville, NC

Anybody who was here for Floyd in 1999 remembers how far the Tar River came up. Ground that floods keeps its moisture for years, and the houses near the river, around the Town Common and down toward Green Mill Run sit on exactly the kind of soil subterranean termites want. Good termite control Greenville homeowners can count on starts underneath the house, not at the swarmers on the windowsill.

A termite inspection from us means a technician in the crawl space with a light and a probe, checking piers, sill plates, porch posts and any wood that touches dirt. Our termite work always starts there, and the inspection costs nothing.

The bungalows and two-story frame houses in College View and the streets around campus were built long before anybody treated soil at construction. Many are student rentals now, which means nobody lives there long enough to notice soft trim until a landlord gets a call.

Subterranean termite treatment on these houses is a liquid barrier trenched and rodded around the foundation, with the crawl space piers treated where they meet the ground. Where a patio or an addition blocks the barrier, we set termite bait stations instead. Owners with rentals across the river can see the same setup on our Tarboro termite page.

Bait works slowly and that is the point. Workers carry it back to the colony, and the colony dies off from the inside instead of just moving to the other side of the house. Termite monitoring means we come back and check every station, so you know whether the colony is still feeding.

For termite control Greenville lots with heavy mulch beds and irrigation, bait plus a barrier usually holds best. Our termite control services cover both, and we pick based on how your house sits.

A wet crawl space feeds termites before it ever feeds mold. Termite prevention in Pitt County mostly comes down to drying out what is under the floor: a moisture barrier over the dirt, a sealed crawl space, or automatic vents that open and close with the weather.

We laid 160 rolls of plastic last year, so this is regular work for our crews, the same crews that handle termite control back in Wilson. We point out every damaged board we find, so any termite damage repair goes to the right place.

Apartment managers, church trustees and shop owners along Memorial Drive and Arlington Boulevard call us for commercial termite control on buildings that cannot shut down for a day. We work around your hours and leave a written record of what was treated.
