Local pest control, by neighbors who know the area
Chapel Hill's pest problems are different. We know why.
Chapel Hill sits at the edge of where Durham's red clay meets Orange County's deeper hardwoods — and that ecology brings a unique pest profile. Older homes off Estes Drive and Franklin Street wrestle with carpenter ants in aging wood siding; the wooded neighborhoods near Meadowmont and Southern Village deal with rodent pressure from surrounding forest; and the apartment complexes that ring the UNC campus see a constant rotation of cockroach and bed bug issues as tenants come and go. We've worked all of these — and we know the difference between the bug you can spot-treat and the one you have to chase to the source.
The pests we see most in Chapel Hill
Carpenter ants
Chapel Hill's older homes — especially the bungalows and craftsmen off Franklin Street — are prime targets for carpenter ants that nest in damp, aging wood siding and trim.
Termites
The deeper hardwoods around Meadowmont, Carrboro line, and southern Chapel Hill keep subterranean termite pressure high year-round.
Mice & deer mice
Wooded neighborhoods near Mount Carmel, Lake Hogan Farms, and Briar Chapel see persistent rodent activity from the surrounding forest.
Bed bugs
High-turnover student rentals near UNC and along Estes Drive mean bed bugs travel between units more easily than in other parts of the Triangle.

Castle handled a carpenter ant problem in our 1940s Franklin Street home that two other companies told us would require tearing out siding. They found the real nest in the crawl space and solved it in one visit. We're customers for life.
