Services
Termite Treatment
Our comprehensive termite treatment services protect homes from structural damage using advanced solutions like the Sentricon System with Always Active. We offer traditional liquid treatments with Termidor and pre-construction Talstar applications. Our experts conduct free inspections to identify infestations through mud tubes, frass piles, and wood damage indicators. Each treatment creates undetectable barriers that eliminate colonies through transfer effect, ensuring long-term protection while maintaining environmental safety.
Mosquito Control
Professional mosquito control services reduce populations by up to 90% through targeted backpack misting applications. We treat breeding grounds in shrubbery and grassy areas while addressing standing water issues. Our monthly treatments include barrier sprays that last 30 days, with free re-services if needed. The program effectively targets both resting and breeding mosquitoes, providing seasonal protection for outdoor living spaces while using EPA-registered, environmentally responsible products.
Bed Bug Control
Our heat treatment process eliminates bed bugs at all life stages through controlled thermal exposure. The service includes comprehensive inspections, detailed preparation guidance, and a 30-day warranty. Technicians use thermal remediation to reach 120F throughout treated spaces, destroying eggs and adults without chemical residues. The process requires six-hour home evacuation but leaves no lingering odors or safety concerns for families and pets.
Moisture Control
Crawlspace encapsulation services prevent moisture-related issues through reinforced vapor barriers and dehumidification systems. Our process includes soil coverage, foundation vent sealing, and sump pump installation to create controlled environments. This three-part solution addresses mold growth, wood rot, and pest intrusion while improving indoor air quality and energy efficiency through stabilized humidity levels in North Carolina's coastal climate.
Quarterly Pest Control
Year-round pest management plans protect against 20+ common species through quarterly exterior treatments. Services include perimeter barrier applications, spider web removal, and targeted baiting programs. Initial treatments address existing infestations while follow-ups maintain protective zones around properties. The program covers ants, roaches, spiders, and rodents with optional add-ons for specialized pests like German cockroaches and fleas requiring intensive treatment protocols.

We use Jay Taylor extermination services at my moms home in Supply, North Carolina and they are awesome. They have been thorough and professional and my mom hasn't had any issues with pests or bugs. The only minor issue she's had is the technician not calling when they are a few minutes away to give her a heads up but I believe that's been resolved.
