Pest Control You Can Trust in Gloucester, VA
Commonwealth Pest Control extends our services across the Coleman Bridge to Gloucester County — from the waterfront homes of Gloucester Point looking back across the York River, up through Hayes and Ordinary, to the historic buildings around Gloucester Courthouse and out to the rural properties near White Marsh and Cappahosic. Since 1999, we've served Gloucester homeowners with the same certified technicians and dual-licensed approach we bring to the rest of Hampton Roads.
Gloucester's rural character, extensive waterfront, and older wood-frame housing stock create a specific set of pest pressures — heavy on termites, moisture, carpenter ants, and mosquitoes. We build treatment plans that reflect what Gloucester properties actually need, not a one-size Hampton Roads template.

Common Pests in Gloucester
Gloucester's waterfront geography and older housing drive its pest challenges. The ones we treat most often:
- Termites — Gloucester's older wood-frame homes, high water table, and heavy tree cover create ideal conditions for Eastern Subterranean termites. Any Gloucester home with a crawlspace should have annual inspections, and our Termidor Certified soil treatments protect the structure for years.
- Moisture & mold — Waterfront proximity and shaded, wooded lots keep Gloucester crawlspaces damp year-round. We handle moisture control, mold and fungus treatment, and — if damage has already occurred — full structural repair.
- Carpenter ants — Gloucester's wooded properties are prime carpenter ant habitat. Unlike house ants, carpenter ants tunnel into damp wood and can cause real structural damage. Our ant control targets the parent colony, not just the workers you see.
- Mosquitoes — Gloucester's rivers, creeks, and marshes give mosquitoes abundant breeding habitat. Waterfront properties in Gloucester Point, Cappahosic, and along Sarah's Creek see the heaviest pressure. Our mosquito barrier treatments knock down populations for weeks at a time.
- Rodents — Rural Gloucester attracts field mice into attics and outbuildings, especially in fall. Our rodent control combines trapping with exclusion so the population doesn't just cycle back.
- Spiders — Wooded Gloucester properties support large spider populations, including black widows around outbuildings and woodpiles. Our spider control handles both perimeter treatment and web/nest removal.

Why Gloucester Homeowners & Property Managers Choose Commonwealth
- Cross-bridge service that doesn't skip Gloucester. A lot of Hampton Roads pest control companies stop at the Coleman Bridge. We don't — Gloucester is a full part of our service area, with the same fast scheduling as any Newport News zip.
- Dual licensed for treatment + repair. When termites or moisture have already damaged floor joists, sill plates, or subfloors, the same crew that treats also does the structural repair. Especially valuable for older Gloucester homes.
- WDO letters for Gloucester closings. Selling a Gloucester home? We turn around termite & moisture inspections and WDO letters on tight closing timelines.
- Local since 1999. We're Hampton Roads. We know Gloucester because we serve it — not because a franchise app told us to.
