Homes among the trees

Much of Chapel Hill is heavily wooded, with houses set among mature hardwoods and pines. Leaf litter, shade and moisture near the foundation favor carpenter ants, spiders and occasional invaders such as millipedes. Wooded edges and ground cover are prime tick habitat, which is why flea and tick yard treatment is a common request.

Mosquitoes in shady, wooded yards

Shade, leaf litter and the creeks that run through town, such as Bolin Creek and Morgan Creek, keep many Chapel Hill yards humid through the warm months. Adult mosquitoes rest in that shaded vegetation, and they breed in small pockets of water in gutters, plant saucers, tree holes and drain pipes. Mosquito control for Chapel Hill yards can combine barrier treatment of resting areas, larval control of standing water that cannot be removed, and In2Care trap stations. If you would like to limit spraying, ask about larval control and In2Care stations, and we will explain what each option uses before you decide.

Crawl spaces on sloped lots

Chapel Hill’s rolling terrain means many homes have crawl spaces or partial basements on sloping lots, where rainwater and humidity can collect. That makes moisture control, encapsulation and regular termite inspection worth discussing.

Rentals near the university

As home to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the town has many rental houses and apartments with regular tenant turnover. Property managers can use scheduled commercial service for turnover inspections and reporting.
