Question 1

When is termite swarm season in Virginia Beach?

Accepted Answer

Subterranean termite swarm season in Hampton Roads typically runs from late February through May, with peak activity in March and April when temperatures consistently reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Seeing a swarm near your home warrants an immediate professional inspection.

Question 2

What is the In2Care mosquito station and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The In2Care Mosquito Station attracts female mosquitoes looking for a breeding site. When a mosquito enters the station, it picks up a biological larvicide and a slow-acting adulticide on its body. It then carries the larvicide to other nearby breeding sites, killing larvae in locations that cannot be treated directly. It is safe for children, pets, and beneficial insects like bees.

Question 3

Are your pest control treatments safe for my pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use EPA-registered products and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, which means we use the least toxic effective solution for every situation. Many of our treatments are odorless and are applied to targeted areas that are inaccessible to pets, such as cracks, crevices, and exterior perimeters.

Question 4

What is the most effective way to get rid of rats in Virginia Beach?

Accepted Answer

The most effective approach combines baiting to eliminate the current population and exclusion to prevent new rodents from entering. Our rodent control program includes a thorough inspection to identify all entry points, professional-grade bait station placement, and physical exclusion repairs to seal vents, gaps, and other access points.

Question 5

Is quarterly pest control worth it for homeowners in Hampton Roads?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for most homeowners in Hampton Roads, quarterly pest control is a highly cost-effective investment. The warm, humid coastal climate supports year-round pest activity, and our mild winters mean that many pest populations never fully die off. Quarterly treatments maintain a protective barrier around your home, preventing infestations before they start.

Question 6

What is a WDI inspection and do I need one to buy a house in Virginia?

Accepted Answer

A Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection is a professional examination of a property for termites and other wood-destroying insects. In Virginia, most lenders require this report during the home buying process.
