Wilson office 252-291-1108
Wilson is home. Our office sits at 2832 Tilghman Rd N, the trucks park there every night, and most of our termite control Wilson customers live within a fifteen-minute drive of it. When you call, a technician is often in your crawl space the same day.
We have been doing this since August 1992, long enough to know which neighborhoods have termite pressure and which have moisture problems. Our termite services page explains the whole process.
The big old houses along West Nash Street and through the Old Wilson historic district were built with heavy heart pine on brick piers, back when tobacco money was building the town. That wood holds up well, but a century of damp crawl spaces gives termites plenty of time to find a weak spot.
Our termite inspection covers every pier, sill and porch post, plus the places where an addition meets the original house. It is free. Folks with family out in the newer subdivisions can compare notes with our Zebulon termite page.
Hominy Swamp Creek winds right through the middle of town, and the houses that back up to it deal with wet soil most of the year. Subterranean termites follow that moisture straight to the foundation.
Subterranean termite treatment here means a liquid barrier around the foundation and termite bait stations where concrete gets in the way. Termite removal takes a few weeks as the colony dies off. Our crews do the same termite work over in Rocky Mount, where the Tar River causes the same problems.
A dry crawl space is the best termite prevention there is. We laid 160 rolls of moisture barrier plastic last year, and we seal crawl spaces and install automatic vents that open and shut with the temperature.
Termite control Wilson homeowners get from us is usually quoted together with the crawl space work, so you pay for one visit. Our termite control services and the moisture work go hand in hand, and we mark every soft board so termite damage repair goes to the right spot.
Downtown, near the Whirligig Park, plenty of the old warehouses and storefronts have been turned into shops, offices and apartments. Old timber plus new tenants makes commercial termite control a scheduling job as much as a treatment job, and we work around business hours.
Residential termite control is the same work on a smaller footprint. Customers who own property east of here can see our Greenville termite work as well.

A liquid barrier lasts for years, but bait stations need checking. Termite monitoring visits let us see whether a colony is still active and swap bait when needed.
Drywood termite treatment and termite fumigation are rarely needed in Eastern North Carolina. Almost every infestation here is subterranean termites coming up from the soil.
Heart pine resists rot better than modern lumber, but it is not immune. The bigger risk in older houses is a damp crawl space and wood sitting too close to the dirt.
Yes. We often quote termite treatment, moisture barriers, sealed crawl spaces and automatic vents together after one inspection.
