Common Pests in Norfolk
Norfolk's climate and housing mix produce a distinct set of pest problems. These are the ones we treat most often:
- Bed bugs — Norfolk sits in one of the highest bed-bug pressure zones in Virginia, driven by military relocations, dense rentals, and short-term housing turnover. We offer bed bug extermination, quality-assurance inspections, and certified bed bug programs for property managers.
- Termites — Ghent, Colonial Place, Larchmont, and other pre-1940 Norfolk neighborhoods sit on aging wood-frame foundations that Eastern Subterranean termites love. We're Termidor Certified and provide full termite treatment and inspection services.
- Cockroaches — Dense apartment buildings, older multi-family units, and restaurants all give German and American roaches easy access. Our cockroach control combines gel baits, insect growth regulators, and thorough sanitation guidance.
- Mosquitoes — Ocean View, East Beach, and Willoughby residents deal with heavy mosquito activity from spring through October. Our mosquito barrier treatments target adult resting sites and standing-water breeding areas.
- Rodents — Urban Norfolk sees Norway rats along sewer lines and roof rats in older-neighborhood attics. Our rodent control pairs trapping with exclusion so rodents don't just come back.
- Moisture & mold — Coastal humidity and older crawlspace construction produce constant moisture problems. We handle moisture control, mold and fungus treatment, and structural repair — full-service, one call.
