We favor natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. We do not ask for a long-term contract, and you can begin with a free quote.

Pests in Hickory
What we deal with most around Hickory, NC
Spring in the foothills brings termites and carpenter ants out of hiding, especially near damp crawl spaces, old stumps and wood stacked against a house. Spiders build in eaves, basements and window wells, and cockroaches use kitchens and bathrooms wherever there is a leak or a crumb trail.
Once the leaves turn, boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on warm walls, and mice look for gaps in foundations, garage doors and vents. Summer nights belong to mosquitoes and wasps, and ticks wait in tall grass and leaf litter at the edge of wooded yards. Because Hickory has around 69 nights a year at or below freezing, rodent pressure is real from late fall through winter. Fleas travel on pets and wildlife, so lawn care and pet care go hand in hand.
Weather and pests
How Hickory's weather affects pest activity
Hickory has a moderate climate with four distinct seasons. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 87 degrees, and about 32 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, so summer heat is present without being extreme. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging about 30 degrees.
The area averages about 47 inches of precipitation a year, with essentially no snow in a typical year. August is the wettest month at about 4.6 inches, and warm rain then leaves standing water in gutters and shaded low spots that support mosquito breeding into September. Steady moisture also keeps wood near the ground damp, which suits termites and carpenter ants.
These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, offered as a guide, not a forecast. A good Hickory routine is to check foundations and rooflines in spring, clear standing water through August, and close up gaps before the cooler nights of October.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Hickory
Ant treatment in Hickory
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Hickory, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Hickory
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Hickory buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Hickory
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Hickory home is built.
Cockroach control in Hickory
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Hickory apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Hickory
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Hickory
Hickory's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
