Pest Control You Can Trust in Hampton, VA
Hampton is one of the oldest continuously-inhabited English settlements in America, and that history is written into its housing stock. From the Victorian homes of Old Northampton and the bungalows of Wythe, to the 1920s-30s neighborhoods around Fort Monroe and Phoebus, to the mid-century ranches of Aberdeen and Willow Oaks, Hampton has more pre-1970 housing per capita than almost anywhere in Hampton Roads. Commonwealth Pest Control has treated Hampton homes since 1999, and we know what older Hampton housing needs.
Hampton's older housing stock, waterfront exposure at Buckroe Beach and Fort Monroe, and Chesapeake Bay humidity produce a pest profile heavy on termites, moisture damage, mold, and coastal mosquitoes. Newer subdivisions in Coliseum Central and the Hampton Roads Center corridor have different pressures — but we handle all of them.

Common Pests in Hampton
Hampton's mix of historic and mid-century housing plus its Chesapeake Bay exposure drives its pest challenges. The ones we treat most often:
- Termites — Hampton's older wood-frame homes — Wythe, Phoebus, Old Northampton, Fort Monroe historic housing — are prime Eastern Subterranean termite territory. We're Termidor Certified and provide annual inspections and full soil treatments for structures at risk.
- Moisture & mold — Chesapeake Bay humidity, older crawlspaces, and coastal flooding all keep Hampton foundations wet. We handle moisture control, mold and fungus treatment, and structural repair when damage has already happened.
- Mosquitoes — Buckroe Beach, Fox Hill, Salt Ponds, and the entire Fort Monroe / Old Point Comfort waterfront see heavy mosquito pressure from Chesapeake Bay marshes. Our barrier treatments knock down adult populations for weeks.
- Ants — Carpenter ants in older wood-frame Hampton homes and sugar ants in newer subdivisions — different species, different treatment. Our ant control starts with identifying which species you have, then targets the parent colony.
- Roaches — Older multi-family units and downtown Hampton apartment buildings deal with German and American roach infestations. Our cockroach control uses gel baits and IGRs to break the reproductive cycle for good.
- Rodents — Older Hampton attics and crawlspaces attract roof rats and Norway rats. Our rodent control combines trapping with exclusion so the population doesn't rebound.
