We also have a Wildlife Biologist from NC State on our team. When you call us, you are not getting guesswork.

We invest in premium products with longer-lasting results, which means fewer treatments per year and less chemical exposure for your family. Our triannual service plan keeps your Garner home protected year-round without breaking the bank.
If pests come back between your scheduled visits, so do we, at no extra charge. Our technicians text you when they are on the way, walk you through every step, and never leave until the job is done right.
We are a mom-owned, family-focused company. We skip the granules on exterior treatments so your kids and dogs stay safe, and our interior crack-and-crevice method keeps products out of little hands and paws.
Ants are the number one nuisance pest in Garner, showing up in kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere food is accessible. Our technicians identify the species on site and apply targeted crack-and-crevice treatments to knock out the colony at its source. We treat three times a year as part of our recurring plan, and if ants come back between visits, so do we, at no extra charge.Â
Cockroaches are one of the most common calls we get from Garner homeowners. Our team can identify whether you are dealing with German cockroaches, American cockroaches, or another species just from a photo. German cockroach infestations require a specific prep-and-treat process, and we walk you through every step before we start.Â
Garner mosquito season runs from April through September. Our lawn-based mosquito application targets mosquitoes where they breed and rest, reducing populations around your yard so your family can enjoy the outdoors again. We hold a lawn license and never fog, which helps prevent chemical drift into neighboring properties.
In the Southeast, termites are not a question of if but when. Our termite protection program gives Garner homeowners peace of mind with thorough inspections and proven treatment options. Pair termite and pest control together with our Grand Slam package and get the best value for full-coverage protection on your home.Â
Mice and rats can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps and set up in walls, attics, and crawl spaces. Our rodent control service starts with a thorough inspection to find entry points, then we seal them out and address the existing population. If you spot droppings or hear scratching at night, snap a photo and send it to us.Â
Squirrels, raccoons, bats, and other wildlife can cause serious damage to your attic, roofline, and crawl space. Our Wildlife Biologist from NC State leads our exclusion work, making sure animals are removed humanely and entry points are sealed so they do not come back.Â
White Oak is one of the largest and most recognized communities in Garner, with a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and shopping areas along White Oak Road. Because of the dense tree cover and older construction in parts of the neighborhood, we see consistent ant, cockroach, and moisture-related pest activity here. Our technicians service White Oak regularly and know the specific pest pressures that come with established Garner neighborhoods.
Vandora Springs sits right in the heart of Garner near Lake Benson and is one of the most popular areas for families. The combination of mature trees, proximity to water, and well-kept yards makes it a hotspot for mosquitoes during the warmer months. We serve many Vandora Springs homeowners on our triannual pest control plan and add seasonal mosquito treatments from April through September to keep backyards comfortable.
The Timber Drive corridor is the commercial and residential backbone of Garner, stretching from downtown toward the US 70 interchange. Homes along and off Timber Drive range from older ranch-style houses to newer subdivisions, and pest activity varies block to block. Our team handles everything from recurring pest control to termite inspections in this part of Garner, and we can usually get a technician out the same day or next day for homes in this area.
Garner sits right on the southern edge of Raleigh, and many of our customers live in neighborhoods that straddle the border between the two cities. Our technicians drive through Raleigh every day on the way to service calls, so delivering Raleigh exterminator service throughout the capital city is a natural fit.
Clayton is one of the fastest-growing towns in Johnston County and sits just southeast of Garner along US 70. A lot of new construction is going up in Clayton, and new homes bring their own set of pest challenges as the land around them gets disturbed. Our Clayton pest control helps homeowners get ahead of ants, cockroaches, and termites before they become a real problem.
Cary is just west of Garner and shares a lot of the same pest pressures that come with central North Carolina's warm, humid climate. Ant colonies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and termites are all common challenges our Cary pest control handles in neighborhoods, especially in areas with mature trees and older construction.
The cost of pest control in Garner depends on the type of service you need and the size of your property. Our recurring pest control plan starts with an initial setup visit, and then we treat three times a year to keep your home protected. We do not lock you into long-term contracts and there is no cancellation fee. For a specific quote, give us a call or fill out our contact form and we will set up a free inspection. We also offer bundled packages like our Grand Slam plan that combines pest control and termite protection at a better price than buying them separately.
Yes. We take family safety seriously because that is the whole reason we started this company. On the inside of your home, we use targeted crack-and-crevice treatments that place products in areas children and pets cannot reach. On the outside, we never apply granules to your lawn, so there is nothing for little hands, shoes, or paws to pick up. Once our exterior liquid treatment dries, which typically takes 10 to 15 minutes depending on sunlight, the treated area is ready for your family and pets. You do not need to leave your home during treatment.
For most Garner homes, we recommend our triannual service plan, which means we treat three times per year. This schedule keeps your home protected through every season without overdoing it on chemical applications. Fewer visits means less product applied to your property overall, which is better for your family and the environment. If you notice any pest activity between scheduled visits, we come back at no additional cost. For mosquito control, we treat monthly from April through September during peak season.
Garner homeowners deal with many of the same pests found across the Triangle area. Ants and cockroaches are by far the most common calls we get, followed by spiders, mosquitoes, and occasional wildlife like squirrels or raccoons getting into attics. Termites are also a year-round concern in the Southeast, and most pest control professionals recommend having some form of termite protection in place. If you are not sure what you are dealing with, you can snap a photo and send it to us. Our Board Certified Entomologist can identify the pest and recommend the right treatment plan before we even come out to your home.
No. You do not need to leave your home while we treat. We ask that pets stay in a room we are not actively treating, and once we are finished, they can come right back out. Our crack-and-crevice approach on the interior means products are applied in tight spaces that are out of reach, not sprayed across open surfaces. You are welcome to be home, watch the process, and ask our technician questions the entire time. Most of our Garner customers stay home during their visits.
You can start pest control any time of year in Garner, but spring and early summer are when most people call because that is when ant, cockroach, and mosquito activity ramps up. That said, pests are active year-round in North Carolina, and our triannual plan is designed to cover every season. Starting in the fall or winter actually gives you a head start before spring pests become a problem. There is no wrong time to begin protecting your home.
