Pest Control in High Point, NC
Connect With a Local Pro Who Knows Guilford County
High Point is the furniture city. Twice a year the High Point Market brings hundreds of thousands of buyers, exhibitors and truckloads of upholstered goods through a downtown of showroom buildings, and the rest of the year the same buildings sit largely empty. Add a century of furniture manufacturing, mill housing and warehousing on Piedmont red clay and you get a pest profile that no other North Carolina city shares. PestAlly is a free service connecting High Point homeowners with independent, licensed local pest control pros working Guilford County.

Why High Point Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most
The Market is the defining factor. Twice-yearly, upholstered furniture arrives from all over the world, sits in showrooms and warehouses, and short-term accommodation fills to capacity with visitors and their luggage. Bed bugs travel in exactly that way — in seams of upholstery and in luggage — and the pulse is seasonal and predictable rather than random. Showroom buildings that sit empty between markets also give roaches and rodents undisturbed periods to establish before the next surge of activity.
The older housing carries the rest. Mill and manufacturing-era housing sits over crawl spaces on Piedmont red clay, which holds surface water instead of draining, so ground under these houses stays damp and keeps smokybrown roaches, camel crickets and carpenter ants going while leaving the sill plate attractive to termites — North Carolina carries moderate to heavy eastern subterranean pressure. Vacant and part-used industrial buildings scattered through the city keep Norway rats supplied with harbourage.

Services
The Pest Problems High Point Calls About Most
Bed Bug Treatment
Twice-yearly Market traffic in upholstery and luggage makes this a genuinely seasonal risk in High Point.
Cockroach Control
Smokybrown roaches breed in damp crawl spaces and come up at night, which is not a kitchen hygiene problem.
Rodent Control
Vacant industrial and warehouse stock gives Norway rats harbourage, and mice enter crawl spaces each autumn.
Termite Control
Red clay holds water against old sill plates in a state with moderate to heavy subterranean pressure.
Mosquito Control
Creek corridors and City Lake hold water, and the Asian tiger mosquito breeds in yard containers and bites by day.
Ant Control
Carpenter ants nest in crawl-space framing kept damp by clay, and odorous house ants come indoors after rain.
