01·What's bugging you
Pick the pest, we'll take it from there
These are the calls we get most from High Point homes. Each one needs a different fix, so tell us which one you're seeing when you call.
Spring swarms
Kitchens, bathsAnts
Trails along counters after rain. We find where they come in and bait the trail back to the nest instead of just spraying what you see.
Under sinksRoaches
German roaches indoors, big American roaches from the crawlspace. Gel baits in the cracks they hide in, plus a follow-up visit.
May–OctoberMosquitoes
Yard barrier treatments on a schedule, and a hunt for the standing water they breed in. Mosquito control
Fall and winterMice and rats
Scratching in the attic or droppings under the sink. We seal the gaps first, then trap. Rodent control
Porches, garagesSpiders
Webs on porch ceilings, eaves and garage corners. We sweep webs, treat the outside edges and cut down the insects spiders feed on.
Any seasonBed bugs
Bites in a line or spots on the sheets. Room-by-room inspection, treatment and a follow-up. Bed bug treatment
Not sure?Can't tell what it is
Send a photo or describe it on the phone. Plenty of calls start with "there's a bug in my bathroom" and that's fine. Call (336) 818-5360.
02·Visits and plans
Fix it once, or keep it fixed
Three ways to work with us. Most people start with a single visit and decide about a plan after they see the results.
No contractOne-time visit
For a single problem: ants in the kitchen, a wasp nest, roaches you just noticed. We inspect, treat and tell you what to watch for. A follow-up is included when the pest needs one.
Most popularHome protection plan
A first service inside and out, then quarterly visits to treat the outside edge, check the crawlspace and handle anything new. If pests come back between visits, we come back too.
Written agreementTermite plan
A liquid treatment or a bait system, then a yearly inspection and re-treatment if termites show up again. The agreement says exactly what's covered before you sign.
6days
Fast matters most with a few pests. Termite swarmers inside the house, a wasp nest by the back door, or mice in a child's room all deserve a quick visit. A few ants on the counter can wait a day. When you call, we'll tell you which kind you've got.
03·Our services
The four jobs that need a specialist
Everyday pests are part of every visit. These four take their own equipment, inspection and follow-up, so each has its own page.
01 Termite Control
Liquid soil treatment or bait stations, crawlspace checks and NC wood-destroying insect reports for home sales.
See the service
02 Mosquito Control
Barrier treatments every few weeks in season, plus a walk of the yard for standing water near creeks and lakes.
See the service
03 Rodent Control
Find the entry points, seal them, then trap. Mice and rats in crawlspaces, attics and garages.
See the service
04 Bed Bug Treatment
Room-by-room inspection, treatment and a follow-up visit, with a prep list you can actually follow.
See the service04·How a visit runs
Inspect first, then treat
The spraying part is short. Most of a first visit is looking: under the house, around the outside and in the rooms where you've seen activity.
-
01Talk it through
We start at the door. Where have you seen them, when, how many? Pets, kids, allergies and fish tanks all change what we use and where.
-
02Look underneath
Most older High Point houses sit on a crawlspace. We check piers, sill plates and vapor barrier for mud tubes, moisture, droppings and gaps.
-
03Treat and explain
Baits, a perimeter treatment, sealing or traps, depending on the pest. Before we leave you get a short written note on what we did and what to watch for.
- On the phonePest, rooms, pets, crawlspace or slab
- First 20 minutesInspection inside, outside and underneath
- Next 30–45 minutesTreatment, sealing or traps
- Before we goWritten notes and next steps
Termite and bed bug jobs take longer, and termite treatments are scheduled as their own visit after the inspection and a written proposal.
05·Before we arrive
Small things that make treatment work better
None of this is required. It just helps us get to the places pests hide.
Clear under the sinks
For ants and roaches, empty the cabinets under the kitchen and bathroom sinks so we can reach the back corners and pipe gaps.
Unlock the crawlspace
Make sure the crawlspace door or vent we need is reachable and not blocked by shrubs or stored items. A dog in the yard should be inside during the outside work.
Note where and when
Write down where you've seen activity and what time of day. Photos help, and so does a dead specimen in a zip bag.
Skip the store-bought bug bombs
Total-release foggers drive roaches and ants deeper into walls, and they make it harder for us to see where an infestation is centered. If you've already used one, tell us when and which product.
06·Hiring
How to check a pest control company
Questions worth asking any company
- Who holds the North Carolina structural pest control license for this work, and in which phase?
- Will the person treating my house be a licensee, a certified applicator or a registered technician?
- For termites: liquid or bait, and what does the written agreement cover?
- Is re-treatment between visits included in the plan price?
- What do I need to do before and after the treatment?
In North Carolina, pest control work is licensed by the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Structural Pest Control and Pesticides Division. The Division splits the work into three phases: household pests (P), wood-destroying organisms (W) and fumigation (F). Anyone doing pest control for hire must be licensed or work under a licensee. You can look up a company's credentials with the Division before you hire.
07·Termite rules
What North Carolina requires in writing
Termite work is the one part of pest control where the paperwork matters as much as the treatment. Two documents come up the most.
Buying or sellingForm WDIR 100
The NC Wood-Destroying Insect Information Report is the state's official form for home sales. The Department of Agriculture says it is required on almost every residential structure sold and only a licensed company can issue it. It reports visible evidence of termites, powderpost beetles, old house borers and carpenter ants, plus conditions that invite termites: wood touching soil, cellulose debris under the house and wood at 20% moisture or higher.
Treating your homeA written contract
The state's guide to termite agreements says every termite control contract must be in writing. It has to list the licensee's license number and phase, a foundation diagram, whether re-inspections are included, when re-treatment happens and the total price. Most agreements run one year after treatment and cover re-treatment only. Some also cover damage repair.
A WDIR reports what was visible on the day of the inspection. The state's guide is blunt that most North Carolina homes older than 10 to 15 years will show some evidence of wood-destroying insects, and that a buyer shouldn't expect a spotless report on an older house. That's especially true in the older parts of High Point.
08·Local conditions
Old houses, red clay and humid summers
Why High Point keeps pest control companies busy: the housing, the soil and the weather all work in the bugs' favor.
High Point grew up around furniture factories, and a lot of the houses built for that workforce are still standing.
The city museum's furniture history notes that after World War II about 60% of the furniture made in America came from within 150 miles of High Point. The neighborhoods from that era are full of brick and frame houses on crawlspaces with brick piers. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 estimates) counts about 49,100 housing units in High Point, and roughly 19,600 of them were built before 1980.
Crawlspaces are where Triad pest problems start. Red Piedmont clay holds water, crawlspace air stays damp through the summer, and wood sill plates sit a short reach above the soil. That's the setup subterranean termites, camel crickets, roaches and mice all like. The NC Department of Agriculture's WDIR guide notes termites need only a 1/32-inch crack to get in and can build their mud tubes about two and a half inches an hour.
Then there's the water. Oak Hollow Lake, High Point City Lake and the creeks that feed them run through wooded neighborhoods, and the yards that back onto them see mosquitoes all summer.

11·Getting started
How booking works
Call (336) 818-5360 or use the callback form. High Point Pest Control Co. will ask what you're seeing, where in the house, how long it's been going on, and whether the house is on a crawlspace, basement or slab.
We set a visit window, inspect, and explain what we found and what we'd do about it, with a price, before any treatment. For termites you get a written proposal and diagram first, as state rules require, and you decide in your own time.
Writing up the inspectionFAQ·Quick answers
What people ask on the first call
Short answers. If your house is the odd one out, call and describe it.
01How soon can someone come out?
Call in the morning and we can often get to you the same day or the next business day, depending on the route. If you're seeing swarmers, take a photo or save a few in a zip bag so we can confirm what they are.
02Are those winged bugs termites or flying ants?
Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a thick waist and two pairs of wings the same length. Flying ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist and front wings longer than the back ones. NC State Extension notes termite swarms usually happen in daylight, often in spring after a rain.
03Do I need a termite inspection to sell my house?
Most North Carolina home sales use the state's official Wood-Destroying Insect Information Report (Form WDIR 100). The NC Department of Agriculture says it is required on almost every residential structure sold, and only a licensed company can issue it.
04Can you treat with kids and pets in the house?
We apply every product by its label, tell you which rooms or areas to keep pets and children out of and for how long, and use baits and targeted treatments where they fit. Tell us about pets, aquariums and anyone with sensitivities when you book.
05Do I have to sign a yearly contract?
No. You can book a one-time visit. Protection plans are there for people who want scheduled visits and re-treatment between them. Termite agreements are always in writing and spell out what is covered.
06What areas do you serve?
All of High Point, plus Archdale, Thomasville, Trinity, Kernersville, Walkertown and Oak Ridge.
