Commercial Pest Control in New Bern, NC
Local. Trusted. Experienced.
A roach walking across a dining room floor at seven on a Friday night costs more than a year of pest control. So does a health inspector writing up rodent droppings in a dry storage room, or a tenant posting a photo of a mouse in a stairwell.
We've been keeping businesses in New Bern and the surrounding counties clean since 1998 — restaurants downtown, warehouses off Highway 70, offices, churches, apartment buildings, and more than a few boats. We're based right here at 2607 Old Cherry Point Road in James City. When you call, you're not opening a ticket in a national queue.
Why New Bern Is Hard on Commercial Buildings
Sitting where the Neuse and the Trent come together, this town gives pests everything they need. Humidity nine months a year. Mild winters that never really knock the roach population back. High water tables that push rats up out of storm drains and into the first dry space they find.
The building stock makes it worse. Downtown, the historic blocks along Middle and Pollock share party walls, and a German roach problem in one kitchen becomes a problem for the restaurant next door within weeks. Out on the commercial corridors, dock doors that sit open through a July afternoon are an open invitation. Waterfront properties get pressure off the river that inland buildings never see.
Any exterminator can spray a baseboard. Knowing that the roaches in a Middle Street kitchen probably came through a shared chase, and that the fix is next door rather than in your building, takes time in these specific blocks.
Businesses We Service
Restaurants and Food Service
Kitchens are the hardest accounts in this business and the ones we service most often. Heat, grease, water, cardboard, and a 24-hour food supply. We work around your hours — before open or after close, whatever keeps us out of the way of service — and we treat with products and placements appropriate for a food handling environment.
Hotels, Motels, and Rentals
One bad review mentioning bugs sits on your listing for years. We service guest rooms, common areas, laundry, kitchens, and dumpster pads, and we can work a rotation so occupied rooms get covered without disrupting guests.
Warehouses, Storage, and Distribution
Big buildings with big openings. Rodents come in at the dock, stored product pests come in on the pallets. We set an exterior perimeter and an interior monitoring program, and we'll tell you which incoming shipments are bringing you problems.
Apartments, Condos, and Property Management
Multi-family is a shared-wall problem, which means a unit-by-unit approach never actually finishes the job. We treat the building as one structure, coordinate access with your office, and keep documentation you can hand to an owner or a board without having to reconstruct it from memory.
Medical, Dental, and Professional Offices
Low-odor, low-disruption service scheduled outside patient hours. Waiting rooms, break rooms, records storage, and mechanical spaces — the places pests actually live, which are rarely the places anyone looks.
Churches, Schools, and Community Buildings
Buildings that sit empty most of the week, then fill up. That cycle is exactly what rodents and roaches want. Family life centers and fellowship halls with kitchens need the same attention a restaurant does, even though they only cook twice a month.
Marinas, Boats, and Yachts
Not many companies around here will service a vessel. We will. Enclosed spaces, moisture, and dock lines that work as highways make boats their own category of problem, and we've been treating them for years.
How Our Commercial Service Works
Service Built Around Your Business
We build your service schedule around the demands of your facility. Kitchens, commercial food operations, and high-turnover environments need more frequent attention. We'll match the frequency to what your building actually needs — whether that's weekly, every other week, or something else — so pest pressure never gets ahead of you.
Flexible Scheduling for Every Facility
Not every building needs the same visit frequency. We tailor the schedule to your facility type, pest pressure, and season. Each visit covers interior and exterior, and it's built two ways: knock down whatever the current season is bringing, and put down protection against what's coming next.
Free Callbacks Between Visits
See something between scheduled services? Call us and we come out. There is no charge for it. We'd rather handle a problem the week you notice it than find out about it at the next scheduled visit.
Integrated Pest Management, Not Just Spraying
There's no secret formula in this industry. Every pesticide used in North Carolina is registered with the state and approved by the EPA — we all have access to the same shelf. What separates a program that works from one that doesn't is knowing which pest you're dealing with, how it behaves, and which formulation belongs in that particular spot.
So we spend time on the conditions too: the gap under the back door, the standing water behind the ice machine, the cardboard stacked against a warm wall. Fix those and you need less product, not more.
Pest Control and Your Health Inspection
If you hold a food service permit in Craven County, pests are an inspection item. The state rules for food establishments — 15A NCAC 18A .2600, which adopts the FDA Food Code — require that you keep the premises free of insects and rodents and that you eliminate the conditions that harbor them. Live pests, droppings, or evidence of activity cost you points off the grade card hanging by your front door, and a bad enough finding brings the inspector back.
Points come off for the conditions too, not just for live pests. Gaps around a door sweep. An unscreened opening. Product stored on the floor instead of up on shelving. Those are the findings we're looking for on a routine visit, before an inspector does.
We keep a service record for every visit, so when the inspector asks what your pest control program looks like, you have an answer and a document instead of a phone number.
What We Treat
German cockroaches in kitchens. American roaches, water bugs, and palmetto bugs coming in from drains and crawl spaces. Norway rats and roof rats. House mice. Ants of every kind we have here — fire, Argentine, carpenter, odorous house ants. Flies. Spiders. Fleas and ticks. Crickets, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and millipedes. Stored product pests like flour beetles, grain beetles, and meal moths.
Beyond general pest work, we handle subterranean termites, powder post beetles, old house borers, and wood decay, and we install moisture barriers, crawl space exhaust fans, and dehumidifiers. On a commercial building in this climate, moisture and pests are usually the same conversation.
Why Businesses Here Stay With Us
We're local and we're licensed. Our team is fully licensed and trained by the N.C. Department of Agriculture's Structural Pest Control Division, is EPA certified, and is accredited as Wood Destroying Insect Inspectors by the N.C. Pest Management Association. Every technician on our crew is a state-registered specialist, with anywhere from five to fifty years in the field.
We're members of the New Bern Area Chamber of Commerce, the Havelock and Carteret County chambers, the North Carolina Pest Control Association, and the National Pest Management Association.
Mostly, though, businesses stay because the same technician keeps showing up. He knows where your bait stations are, which corner of the stockroom is the problem, and what you did about it last spring. That's worth more on a commercial account than anything printed on a truck.
Where We Service
We cover commercial accounts throughout Craven, Carteret, Jones, and Pamlico counties — New Bern, James City, Trent Woods, River Bend, Bridgeton, Havelock, Cherry Point, Morehead City, Beaufort, Newport, Oriental, Trenton, and the surrounding communities. Two locations: New Bern and Morehead City.
