Local pest control, by neighbors who know the area
Downtown's pest problems are different. We know why.
From the American Tobacco Campus to the Brightleaf district, Durham's downtown buildings sit on some of the oldest brick foundations in the city. That charm comes with a downside: aging brick, shared walls, and warm subterranean utility corridors are an invitation for cockroaches, mice, ants, and termites to set up shop. Our crew knows these buildings — we've worked in the lofts above Mateo, the brownstones near Five Points, and the historic homes off Mangum Street. We tailor every treatment to the building, not the bug.
The pests we see most in Downtown Durham
German cockroaches
Restaurants, shared walls, and aging plumbing make downtown a roach hot-spot — especially in older buildings with brick foundations.
Mice & rats
Construction projects, dumpsters behind restaurants, and proximity to railroad corridors keep rodent pressure high year-round.
Argentine ants
Brick mortar and stone foundations give ants an endless network of entry points into ground-floor units.
Subterranean termites
Durham's red-clay soil and the age of many downtown structures mean termite damage often goes unnoticed for years.
