Mosquito season programs (April-October) run 400-700. These Charlotte prices reflect the competitive pest control market in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg metro.

Is a termite inspection required in Charlotte when buying a home?

Yes - North Carolina law requires a Wood Infestation Report (WIR) as part of most Charlotte home purchase transactions. The WIR must be issued by a NC-licensed structural pest control company (Category 7b license). The WIR documents current termite activity, previous termite damage, and moisture conditions. Charlotte buyers should budget 75-150 for a termite inspection by a licensed Charlotte pest control company during the home inspection contingency period.

What termites are in Charlotte?

Charlotte Mecklenburg County has two species of subterranean termites: Eastern subterranean termite (Reticulitermes flavipes) - the most common in NC; and Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) - an invasive species established in the Charlotte Piedmont that is significantly more destructive. Formosan termites build larger colonies and consume wood faster than Eastern subterranean. Annual termite inspection by a licensed Charlotte pest control company is the standard of care for homeowners in the region.

How do I verify a pest control company is licensed in North Carolina?

Verify Charlotte pest control companies at NCDA&CS Structural Pest Control License Lookup. Verify the company holds the appropriate license category for the services they perform (7a for general pest, 7b for termite). Each technician performing treatments should be a licensed applicator or working under direct supervision of one. Ask for the license number before treatment begins.
