Charlotte is a fantastic place to live, and is ranked as one of the top big cities in the U.S. The warm weather, affordable cost of living, and proximity to both mountains and beaches make it a popular place to call home.

Who Needs Charlotte, NC Pest Control?
Every home and business should have a pest maintenance plan in place. The presence of insects, rodents, and wildlife isn’t just a nuisance, but can pose a real threat. Many pests can cause significant and costly damage, from chewing through wooden structures to gnawing on electrical wires and sparking fires.
Pests can also negatively impact your health. Some carry diseases that can be passed to humans through a bite. Others spread bacteria through direct contact or contact with surfaces contaminated with saliva or droppings. Stinging insects like wasps can trigger a severe allergic reaction like anaphylaxis in some people, while others can develop asthma attacks from cockroaches, allergies from dust mites, or painful, itchy skin irritation from a variety of insect bites.
Quality pest control from Killingsworth Environmental can drastically reduce the number of dangerous pests around your home, lowering your risk of experiencing a pest-related problem.
Pests are a year-round concern in Charlotte, with a variety of species found active in each season. The increased humidity and rising temperatures of spring and summer bring the heaviest pest activity. Mosquitos begin to emerge in the spring, using standing water from frequent rains for breeding. Bed bugs and ticks thrive in the hot summers. Cooling fall temperatures drive mice and rats to seek shelter indoors for the winter months.
Killingsworth Environmental pest control services are so effective because our technicians understand how the local weather patterns and microclimate impact pest lifecycles and activity. We can identify what you need and help you choose a plan customized to target those needs that addresses some of the area’s most common pests:
Termites
These wood-destroying insects can cause devastating property damage that’s expensive to fix. Sometimes, the termite damage is extensive enough to make a property unlivable. At Killingsworth, we use Sentricon bait stations to provide continuous protection that treats current infestations and prevents them in the future.
Bed Bugs
These pests are a nuisance, but can also inflict itchy, painful bites and skin rashes. Bed Bugs can be difficult to locate, which is why an expert pest control company like Killingsworth is you best chance to get them all.
Ants
Ants are one of the most common pests throughout the Carolinas. Depending on the species, they may live in mounds raised out of the ground or in trees. Ants can enter your home through tiny cracks while they are searching for food. They may spread germs and contaminate your food.
Fire Ants
Fire ants rarely go inside, but they are more aggressive and can attack people and pets, leaving painful stings. In rare cases, their bite can be serious and life-threatening. This type of ant can also cause a lot of damage to lawns, landscaping, and crops.
Rodents
Mice and Rats spread disease, cause damage, and make you uncomfortable in your own home. Anticimex SMART rodent control is the latest technology in rodent control that provides digital, 24/7 protection.
Spiders
Spiders are another common pest. Many are harmless, but some, like the Brown Recluse, are highly venomous. Our expert spider control targets all species, giving you peace of mind.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches love the heat and humidity of Charlotte. Their presence is a threat to your health and can quickly damage the reputation of your business.
Mosquitos
Mosquitos are one of the most well-known pests and can quickly ruin an outdoor experience. Our treatments create a perimeter around your property to protect you, with monthly treatments available throughout mosquito season.
Ticks
Ticks and tick-borne illnesses are increasing in number, making professional yard treatments essential.
Wasps
Wasps are an aggressive stinging insect that can attack when they feel threatened. It’s important to contact an exterminator immediately to remove wasp nests to avoid a potentially dangerous sting.
Charlotte and the surrounding area are home to a large number of pest species, but you don’t need to resign yourself to sharing your space with them. Some basic property maintenance can help deter bugs and rodents from making themselves at home:
- Keep your lawn and shrubs trimmed and yard waste cleared away.

Do I Need Recurring Pest Control in Charlotte NC?
While we do offer one-time treatments, with many species like ants, roaches, and mosquitoes, we always suggest that Charlotte homeowners go with an annual pest control service plan.
The drawback with a one-time service is that when you notice insects or rodents they most likely have been in your home or property for a while. You notice them because the pest population gets so large that they can no longer stay out of sight. A one-time service may not get rid of all the pests and when the population builds back up you have a problem again.
With a recurring service, we stay on top of the population so that it has less chance to grow and invade your home.
With a recurring plan, we come out to your home three times a year. We will visit your home between scheduled times if you notice a problem. Just give us a call and let us know.
