If you have a bird problem, you should take immediate action. Acidic bird droppings can damage the exterior and interior of your home or building. Feces and nesting materials can also clog your gutters and downspouts. What's more, pigeons and other birds often carry sickness and parasites. These may include chewing lice, fleas, mites, and ticks, which can transmit additional diseases. Most of our customers call about pigeons, since these birds are the most difficult to get rid of. At Pest-X, we pride ourselves on eliminating your pigeon problem both quickly and humanely.

If you're considering insulating your attic, or preventative pest control, you are making the right move. North Carolina can experience both intense summer heat and freezing winter temperatures. T.A.P. (thermal, acoustical, pest control) insulation helps to keep the bugs out of your home or business, your energy costs low and dampens noise. The North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) estimates that as many as 90% of homes in the USA are under insulated. It is a cellulose based insulation made from 87% recycled content that is infused with borate mineral salts.

Pest-X Termite Division does inspections for close of escrow or for peace of mind. Our inspectors do inspections ranging from single family dwellings to apartment complexes and commercial centers.

We make a concerted effort to meet the needs of realtors and developers so that they can meet the needs of their customers.

While these clues go a long way, it's always best to consult a professional. Our customers have mistaken winged ants or carpenter ants for termites in the past, causing undue alarm. Pest-X's certified specialists are trained to distinguish between species in order to apply the right treatment. When you call us for termite extermination, you can expect it to be done safely and effectively. Unlike many other pest control companies, we take a holistic approach to termite extermination. All treatments begin with a full inspection of your home or building's structure.

If you suspect you have a cockroach problem, call now for a free estimate. A professional will come out and identify the type of cockroach: either German or wood. This is important because each requires different techniques and methods. If you exterminate roaches incorrectly, you will give them time to reproduce and infest your home or business. Don't let that happen. Call Pest-X today! German cockroach extermination consists of extensive crack and crevice applications indoors. Before we begin, we ask that you clean up all trash and pull all items out of your cabinet.

Have spiders infested your home or office building? Or have poisonous spiders spun their webs on your property? If left untreated, either spider problem can turn into a headache or worse. Black widows and brown recluses can send you to the hospital, and a spider infestation can quickly get out of hand. Play it safe and call Pest-X for professional spider control! Two North American species are dangerous to humans: the black widow and the brown recluse. Don't get attacked in the first place! Always wear gloves when working outside or taking things out of storage.

Nothing is more important to you than the safety of your family and pets. We completely agree! Because of that, we are painstaking in our attention to the safety and effectiveness of our materials. When you call us for a free inspection, we assess your specific fly problem. Unlike many of our competitors, we don't just hang fly strips. First, we locate and remove the breeding source. Only then do we go after adults. Our wide-ranging treatment methods include chemical aerosols, baits, sticky traps, fly lights, and door air curtains.

Are you seeing tiny black ants? If so, you're not alone. Odorous house ants, also known as sugar ants, are the #1 pest control problem in the Piedmont Triad area. And there's a good reason why. Ants are harder to control than you would think. First, you need to identify the species of ant. Without proper identification, you won't know how to eliminate the ants correctly. Worse, you may mistake swarming, winged termites for winged ants. In addition, just using basic hygiene often does not work. Nor does simply spraying a store-bought repellent.

If you are dealing with a rodent infestation, expect rats and mice to go after your food supply. It is important to be aware that they carry up to 25 communicable diseases including HPS, EMCV, and rat bit fever. Transmission can occur through bites, contact with urine, and handling or eating contaminated food. Just as dangerous, rodents can start a fire by gnawing on electrical wires. They are just a terrible nuisance! For these reasons, it is often best to seek professional help when getting rid of mice or rats.

Our proven treatment creates a protective barrier between you and them. With the number of Zika and West Nile virus cases on the rise, mosquito control has become one of our most popular services. Many of our customers even view it as a necessity. After you call us for an inspection, we will come out to your house to assess your specific mosquito situation. First, we will pinpoint and dump out any unwanted water sources. Next, we will apply granules to any standing water sources you wish to keep to prevent eggs from hatching.
