Pest control in Asheville
Family owned in Western North Carolina since 1967.
One local Asheville team for ants, termites, rodents
and mosquitoes, block by block.
Pisgah Pest Control has provided pest control in Asheville, NC since 1967, and no two neighborhoods here face quite the same pressure.
Older homes in Biltmore Forest, Biltmore Park and Candler deal with aging foundations that invite termites and carpenter ants; wooded lots around Avery Creek, Bent Creek and Fairview push rodents indoors as temperatures drop; and warm, humid summers keep mosquitoes breeding near standing water in Skyland, Swannanoa and Woodfin. The Blue Ridge Mountains don't create one pest problem - they create several, block by block.
That's why our approach isn't generic. We've served homeowners across Asheville, Arden, Enka, Leicester, Oteen, Royal Pines and the wider Western North Carolina community with targeted, eco-friendly treatment built around what's actually active in your yard - not a standard seasonal spray. Whether it's in your kitchen, your foundation, or your backyard, we treat the cause, not just what you can see.
Common pests in Asheville
Asheville’s diverse climate and lush landscapes make it susceptible to various pests, including:
Ants
Odorous house ants and carpenter ants are the two we see most around Asheville. One is a kitchen nuisance, the other quietly chews into the framing of older homes.
Ant control
Termites
Humid summers and older foundations around Asheville keep subterranean termites active for years before anyone sees damage. Prevention costs far less than repairs.
Termite control
Rodents
Wooded lots around Avery Creek, Bent Creek and Fairview push mice and rats indoors every fall, where they contaminate food and chew wiring.
Rodent control
Wasps & hornets
Paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are plentiful in Asheville and get aggressive when a nest is threatened. Trying to handle one yourself isn't worth the risk.
Wasp & hornet removal
Carpenter bees
Carpenter bees drill clean round holes into decks, fascia and wood siding every spring, and they come back to the same holes year after year.

Mosquitos
Warm, humid summers keep mosquitoes breeding near standing water in Skyland, Swannanoa and Woodfin. Yard treatments knock them back for weeks at a time.

Your local Asheville exterminators
From Biltmore Forest and Biltmore Park to Fairview, Fletcher and Swannanoa, older housing stock near the historic districts brings more carpenter ant and termite pressure, while newer builds near Avery Creek and Bent Creek back up to woodland that pushes rodents indoors every fall.
We also serve Arden, Candler, Enka, Leicester, Oteen, Royal Pines, Skyland and Woodfin - if you’re nearby, we’re already in your neighborhood.
Before you call, you probably want to know…
How much does pest control cost in Asheville?
Most Asheville homes start with our HomeSafe Basic plan at about $38 a month, billed quarterly at $114. HomeSafe Plus adds Sentricon termite coverage at $195 a quarter, and HomeSafe Premium covers everything, including mosquito and carpenter bee control.
The right plan depends on your home and what you are dealing with, so the simplest path is a free quote with a clear price and no surprises. We believe prevention is the best protection: a quarterly plan keeps a fresh barrier around your foundation and catches seasonal pests before they get comfortable, which a one-time spray cannot do.
I don’t see damage yet. Do I still need termite treatment?
Subterranean termites work inside walls and foundations for years before damage is visible. In the Blue Ridge’s humid climate, we recommend Sentricon monitoring as prevention, not just cure.
How fast can someone come out to my property?
Most Asheville-area homes get a technician within the same week, sooner for active infestations like rodents or stinging insects.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes - every plan uses targeted, EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians, with pet- and family-safe options standard, not an upsell.
