How do I know if I have termites in my home?

Common signs include mud tubes along foundation walls or crawlspaces, hollow-sounding wood when tapped, blistering or peeling paint, discarded wings near windows/doors, and tight-fitting windows or doors (due to wood shifting). If you spot any of those — or simply suspect termites — a professional inspection from D & D Pest Control Co. can confirm and help prevent damage early.

How long does termite treatment take — and do I need to leave my home?

Most perimeter soil or baiting treatments take 2–5 hours depending on property size. Whether you need to leave depends on the product used; we will clearly inform you beforehand. In many cases you can stay — but avoid treated zones until drying or re-entry times are safe.

Will the termite treatment last forever?

While no treatment guarantees “forever,” our high-quality soil barriers and bait systems are designed for long-term protection. We also recommend regular inspections (every 12–24 months) to ensure the barrier remains intact, especially after heavy rains, landscaping changes, or ground shifting.

Do you offer termite protection if I’m buying or selling a house?

Yes — we provide full termite inspections and WDI (Wood-Destroying Insect) reports for real estate transactions. If termites or risk factors are found, we can also perform recommended treatments to meet lender or inspection requirements.

What areas in Eastern North Carolina do you serve for termite control?

We serve a broad region — including Kinston, Greenville, Jacksonville, Snow Hill, La Grange, Ayden, Pink Hill, Grifton, New Bern, Vanceboro, Trenton, Richlands, and surrounding counties. If you're unsure whether we cover your address, just give us a call.

Is your termite treatment safe for pets and family members?

Yes. We use industry-standard, licensed products and apply them following all safety guidelines. We’ll always explain any precautions to take (if required) and ensure treatments are applied as safely as possible.

What is Termidor® and why do professionals use it?

Termidor® is a non-repellent termite product trusted nationwide. Termites can’t smell or detect it — so they pass through treated soil, pick it up, and spread it to the entire colony. It provides long-lasting structural protection.

Do you offer termite inspections for real estate closings?

Yes. We perform detailed WDI inspections and provide NC WDIR-100 Reports for buyers, sellers, VA refinances, and property managers.

What’s the difference between termite treatment and a termite warranty?

Treatment eliminates today’s active insects. A warranty provides future inspections and coverage in case termites return. They work together to protect your investment long-term.

What should I do before a termite treatment?

Remove stored items away from foundation walls, trim shrubbery that blocks access, correct plumbing leaks if found, and provide crawlspace entry. Your technician will give you a simple preparation checklist.

Eastern Subterranean Termites in Eastern North Carolina

Eastern Subterranean Termites are the most common termite species we encounter in Eastern North Carolina. They thrive in our warm, humid climate and in damp crawlspaces, mulch beds, and soil near foundations. Colonies live underground and move through soil and mud tubes to reach the wood in your home.

Key facts about Eastern Subterranean Termites:

Silent destroyers: They hollow wood from the inside out, often leaving the surface intact until serious damage has already occurred.
Tiny entry points: They can enter through cracks as thin as a sheet of paper, gaps around plumbing, and expansion joints.
Moisture-lovers: They are strongly attracted to wet or damp wood, leaky crawlspaces, and areas with poor drainage.

For a deeper dive into how these termites live, feed, and damage structures, you can explore our detailed guide on
Eastern Subterranean Termites. Understanding your enemy is the first step in defeating it.

Signs You May Have a Termite Problem

Many homeowners in Eastern North Carolina don’t notice termites until the damage is severe. As you read this, mentally walk through your home and ask yourself if you’ve seen any of these warning signs:

Mud tubes on foundation walls, piers, or plumbing lines
Soft, spongy, or buckling wood around door frames, baseboards, or windows
Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
Swarmers (winged termites) or discarded wings around windowsills, doors, or light fixtures
Blistering or bubbling paint that looks like a moisture problem

Termite Treatment Options We Offer in Eastern North Carolina

Every home, building, and crawlspace is different, which is why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all termite treatments. D & D Pest Control Co. offers a full range of termite control strategies tailored to the soil, structure, and moisture conditions of each property.

Termidor® Perimeter Plus Treatment

Our favorite weapon against Eastern Subterranean Termites is the Termidor® Perimeter Plus Treatment. Termidor is a non-repellent termiticide—termites can’t detect it. As they move through treated soil, they pick it up and unknowingly transfer it to other termites, including the colony’s queen.

Benefits of Termidor Perimeter Plus:

Undetectable to termites: They move freely through treated zones, which accelerates colony elimination.
Long-lasting protection: Properly applied Termidor treatments can provide years of continuous defense.
Colony-level control: Termites that contact the product transfer it to others, spreading the treatment throughout the colony.

If your home has a crawlspace encapsulation, the Termidor Perimeter Plus method is especially important. It helps protect the foundation and critical entry points while working in harmony with your moisture control system.

Liquid Non-Repellent Treatments

In addition to Termidor, we use other professional-grade non-repellent termiticides designed for the soils and conditions in Eastern North Carolina. These products form an invisible barrier around your home or business.

Invisible and effective: Termites can’t sense treated zones, so they don’t avoid them.
Precision application: We focus on expansion joints, plumbing penetrations, foundation walls, and other common entry points.
Flexible options: Ideal for homes in Kinston, Greenville, Jacksonville, Snow Hill, and surrounding communities where soil types and construction styles vary.

Borate Wood Treatments

Borate treatments are ideal during construction or renovation and can be used in some existing structures. Borates soak into the wood, creating a long-term barrier that termites and other wood-destroying insects can’t survive eating.

Environmentally friendly: Borates are mineral-based and low in toxicity to people and pets when used correctly.
Long-term wood protection: Treated wood is resistant to termites, carpenter ants, and certain fungi.
Great for new builds: Perfect to pair with our
New Construction Termite Pre-Treatment.

Advanced Termite Baiting Systems

For homeowners who prefer an ongoing, monitored solution, we offer professional termite baiting systems. These stations are strategically installed around your structure and checked on a regular schedule.

Colony elimination from the inside: Termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony.
Low-disruption: Minimal trenching and drilling—great for landscaped yards and sensitive areas.
Continuous monitoring: Our technicians inspect stations regularly to catch new activity early.

New Construction Termite Pre-Treatments

If you’re building a new home or addition in Eastern North Carolina, this is your chance to start termite protection the right way—from the ground up. Our new construction pre-treatments are applied at key stages of construction to shield the structure before termites ever have a chance to attack.

Foundation protection: Treatment is applied to the soil before the slab or footings are poured.
Builder- and code-friendly: Our pre-treatments meet local building code requirements for termite protection.
Ideal for long-term ownership: Perfect for homeowners planning to stay in their home and avoid costly termite repairs later.
