If you are seeing signs of a pest problem, whether it is droppings in the pantry, mud tubes along your foundation, or mosquitoes taking over your backyard, do not wait. Call us at 919-923-2361 for a free inspection. We offer same-day service for urgent situations.

Common Pests We Treat in Durham

Durham sits in the heart of the Triangle, surrounded by mature trees, creeks, and older neighborhoods with the kind of crawl spaces and attics that pests love. Our technicians handle the full range of Durham’s most common invaders:

Ants are the number one complaint we get from Durham homeowners, especially in spring and summer. Odorous house ants, carpenter ants, and fire ants all thrive in this area. Carpenter ants cause structural damage similar to termites, so catching them early matters. Read more about ant control in Durham.

Termites are a serious threat in Durham. North Carolina ranks among the top states for termite activity, and the eastern subterranean termite is the most common species here. We provide both liquid barrier treatments and monitoring systems to protect your home’s structure before damage starts. Read more about termite control in Durham.

Mosquitoes breed in standing water, and Durham’s warm, humid climate from April through October gives them plenty of opportunity. Our mosquito treatment plans target breeding sites and resting areas around your property so you can actually use your yard again. Read more about mosquito control in Durham.

Rodents move indoors when temperatures drop, usually starting in October. Mice can fit through a gap the size of a dime, and rats only need a quarter-sized opening. We do not just set traps. We find and seal entry points so they stop coming back. Read more about rodent control in Durham.

Cockroaches are a year-round problem in Durham, particularly American cockroaches (sometimes called palmetto bugs) and German cockroaches. They carry bacteria and allergens that can trigger asthma, especially in children. Our treatment targets both the roaches you see and the ones hiding in walls and under appliances.

We also treat bed bugs, spiders, fleas and ticks, wasps and hornets, fire ants, and offer crawl space services for moisture and pest prevention.

Our Durham Pest Control Process

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every Durham home is different, and the pest pressures on a 1940s Walltown bungalow are not the same as a new build in Southpoint. Our process starts with understanding your specific situation.

Free Inspection: One of our technicians comes to your home, identifies what you are dealing with, checks entry points, and explains exactly what we recommend. No pressure, no upselling. If you do not need treatment, we will tell you.

Custom Treatment Plan: Based on the inspection, we build a plan using EPA-approved products that are safe for your family and pets. We target the specific pests in your home rather than just spraying everything and hoping for the best.

Ongoing Protection: Most pest problems in Durham are not one-and-done. Seasonal changes bring new pressures, so we offer quarterly and monthly service plans that keep your home protected year-round. Ask about our Scott’s Guard Service Packages for the best value.

Guaranteed Results: If pests come back between scheduled treatments, so do we, at no additional cost. That is not a marketing promise. It is how we have kept customers for over 27 years.

Durham Pest Control FAQs

How much does pest control cost in Durham, NC?

General pest control in Durham typically runs between $45 and $75 per month on a quarterly plan. One-time treatments for specific pests like termites or bed bugs vary based on the size of your home and the severity of the problem. We provide a free inspection and upfront quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What is the most common pest in Durham?

Ants are the most frequent pest complaint in Durham, followed closely by cockroaches and mosquitoes during warmer months. In fall and winter, rodent calls spike as mice and rats look for warm shelter. Termites are a year-round concern because subterranean species stay active underground even in cooler weather.

Do you offer same-day pest control service in Durham?

Yes. If you are dealing with an urgent pest situation, call us at 919-923-2361 and we will do our best to get a technician to your home the same day. We understand that some pest problems cannot wait.

Are your pest control treatments safe for kids and pets?

All of our treatments use EPA-approved products. We choose targeted application methods that minimize exposure while maximizing effectiveness. Our technicians will explain any precautions specific to the treatment being applied, and we always prioritize the safety of your family and animals.
