Western Carolina Pest Management  

Each situation is different depending on the targeted pests and the customer's input, but our typical quarterly pest control is an inside/outside service. 

Inside - We use a product on the inside that is applied in cracks, crevices, and near the baseboards that is odor and stain free.  It is a synthetic pyrethroid.  Natural pyrethrins are found in the Chrysanthemum plant. We then also use sticky traps and/or ant bait as needed to monitor and eliminate occasional invaders.

Outside - We use a power sprayer to apply a barrier treatment around the foundation of your home.  This is another odor and stain free pyrethroid that is chosen for its ability to provide a long lasting protection.  We feel it is best to keep pests out of your home and this is the way to stop them before they come inside.

Most franchise companies do only an inspection and spray behind the fridge. They wait on you to develop a big problem and then try to solve it.  WCPM stops your problems before they start. We use safe, proven, and effective methods to eliminate the problem.

 After your initial service, you will receive a reminder card in the mail every 3 months.  You then call us to make an appointment.  We never just show up to do your service (unless that is what you want).

Termite treatment, whether on an existing home or a new structure is a very involved process.  You don't merely "spray for termites" as some would have you believe, but a long lasting barrier is created that kills termites and keeps them from infesting your home for years.

 All of our work is guaranteed for one year and is renewable in one year increments.  Each termite treatment comes with a written estimate and written guarantee.  Our prices are very competitive.

Most of the time we use non-repellent treatments that the termites then take back to the colony and destroy it.  We also offer borate-based treatment and termite baiting.

We gladly give honest second opinions and estimates.

We offer real termite inpections that are reported on NC form WDIR100.  This is the only document that the results of a termite inspection are supposed to be reported on.  Most of the time these inspections are performed on behalf of the potential buyer in a real estate transaction. 

If you are a homeowner that thinks you have a termite problem, we offer our free consultation and estimate.  We are not high-pressure sales people. We will be glad to give you and honest opinion about your problem and what we think is the best and most economical solution - even if it doesn't include a service we offer! We'd rather be known as honest and then when you do have a real problem, we hope you would call on us to help you.

 Most "free termite inspections" offered by the big franchise pest companies are just a sales call. This has been particularly true with the advent of termite baiting.  We are glad to help you out if you are being pressured to buy a protection plan.  Call us and we will be glad to help you sort through the sales pitches with honesty and integrity.

Fumigation is big business and is extremely expensive.  It also leaves no lasting protection against the insect you are targeting.  What you may not know is that it is often unnecessary.  Often a treatment with borates or an initial spray followed with borates gives the same initial kill with a long lasting (decades) protection that is safer and vitually non-toxic. And the best news is that it can be thousands ($1000's) less than fumigation.

Call us any time for a free estimate for fumigation alternatives. Our service is guaranteed and we can save you a lot of money.
