![General Pest Package](https://vacopest.com/ccdadmin/general-package.jpg)### 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.

**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

 ![Sentricon Termite Monitoring Package](https://vacopest.com/ccdadmin/termite-control.jpg)### 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 Package](https://vacopest.com/ccdadmin/bed-bug-package.jpg)### 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

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
