General Pest Control
Our most popular residential service covers the pests North Carolina and Virginia homeowners encounter most. Using an IPM approach, we target active infestations and establish preventive barriers to keep pests from returning.
Covers: Ants, cockroaches, fleas, rodents, silverfish, spiders, and stinging insects (wasps, hornets, yellow jackets)
Schedule: Quarterly service visits with free "in-between" visits if pests return between appointments
Approach: Interior and exterior treatments, de-webbing, entry point treatment, and conducive condition remediation
Consistency: Same technician assigned to your property every visit
Mosquito & Tick Control
Our seasonal program runs from March through October, with monthly yard treatments that target breeding areas, resting sites, and high-traffic zones around your property.
Schedule: Monthly treatments throughout the active season (March–October)
Targets: Tree lines, shaded zones, standing water sources, and other breeding and resting areas
Result: Reduced mosquito and tick populations so your family can enjoy your yard again
Termite Control
Termites cause more structural damage to homes in the Carolinas and Virginia than almost any other pest. Most homeowners don't realize they have a problem until significant damage has already occurred. VACO is a Sentricon® Certified Applicator, using the industry's most scientifically validated baiting system to eliminate entire subterranean termite colonies, including the queen.
System: Sentricon® Always Active baiting, backed by 70+ peer-reviewed studies and the Green Chemistry Award
Monitoring: Annual inspections to assess stations and ongoing risk
New construction: Pre-construction termite treatments available for new builds
Real estate: WDI inspections for home sales (called WDIR in North Carolina, WDI in Virginia)
Bed Bug Treatment
VACO offers a no-prep bed bug service, meaning you don't have to spend hours laundering, bagging, and moving furniture before we arrive. Most companies require extensive homeowner preparation. We remove that burden entirely.
No-prep approach: Eliminates the typical preparation requirements that add time, cost, and stress
Professional-grade treatment: Designed for complete elimination
Versatile: Effective for single-family homes, apartments, and rental properties
Discreet: Property manager and landlord-friendly service
Crawl Space Solutions
Excess moisture beneath your home creates the perfect environment for wood-destroying organisms, mold, and pest infestations — problems especially common in the humid climates of North Carolina and Virginia.
Encapsulation: Moisture control and vapor barrier installation to prevent mold, wood rot, and infestations
Ventilation: Drainage and airflow solutions tailored to your crawl space's specific conditions
Pairs well with: General pest or termite services for comprehensive home protection
Green Pest Control
For homeowners who want effective protection with an organic approach, our Green Pest Package uses carefully selected organic products and IPM methods, without conventional chemical treatments.
Products: 100% organic, selected for both effectiveness and environmental safety
Schedule: Monthly service visits for consistent, proactive protection
Covers: Same range of household pests as our General Pest service
Ideal for: Families with young children, pets, or sensitivities to conventional treatments
