Why termites are worth taking seriously in Virginia
Virginia sits in a moderate-to-heavy termite risk zone, and Eastern subterranean termites are active underground year-round here, not just seasonally. Damage often happens out of sight — inside wall voids, under flooring, in crawlspace framing — which is part of why it's commonly discovered later than homeowners expect.
Virginia real estate law also requires a termite/wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection within 90 days of a home sale closing in most transactions, so if you're buying or selling, this often isn't optional — it's part of the process.
Termite treatment requires a separate license category from general pest control (VDACS Category 7B, versus the 7A general pest license), which is why we don't perform this work directly — and why we'd rather connect you with someone properly licensed for it than guess.

Termite referral questions
Not currently — termite treatment requires a separate state license (VDACS Category 7B) from our general pest control license. Rather than operate outside that, we connect homeowners with a licensed termite specialist we trust.
Virginia real estate transactions commonly require a wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspection within 90 days of closing. It's a standard part of the closing process for most home sales in the state.
A WDI inspection checks for current or past termite (or other wood-destroying insect) activity and is often required for a real estate closing. Treatment is the actual pest control work if activity is found — a separate, licensed service.
No — connecting you with a termite specialist doesn't cost anything through us. Any pricing for the actual inspection or treatment would come from the specialist directly.
Yes — we regularly service homes and businesses throughout Suffolk, from Harbour View and Bennett's Creek to Downtown Suffolk, North Suffolk, and out toward Chuckatuck and Whaleyville. If you're anywhere in Suffolk, we can typically schedule within the week.
