Pest control & termite treatment in Brevard
Family owned in Western North Carolina since 1967. Trusted pest control in Brevard, Rosman, Dunns Rock, Cedar Mountain, Balsam Grove and Penrose, right at the edge of Pisgah National Forest.
Do you need a local exterminator in Brevard?
Brevard sits right at the edge of Pisgah National Forest, and that changes what shows up at your door. Homes in Connestee Falls, Cedar Mountain and along the Little River back up to dense woodland and creek beds, which pushes mice and rats indoors as soon as the weather turns. The waterfalls and rivers that draw visitors to Looking Glass Falls and Sliding Rock also keep humidity high through Rosman, Penrose and Balsam Grove, giving mosquitoes and termites the damp conditions they need to thrive.
We've served Transylvania County long enough to know a cabin near DuPont State Forest faces different pressure than a newer build closer to downtown Brevard. Whether it's carpenter ants working through a moisture-softened porch beam or yellow jackets nesting near a woodpile, we treat the cause specific to your property, not a standard seasonal spray.
Common pests in Brevard
Ants
Carpenter ants are especially active in Brevard's older cabins and forest edge homes, tunneling through moisture softened wood near Cedar Mountain and Connestee Falls.
Ant control
Termites
With the French Broad River's headwaters and countless waterfalls keeping the ground damp year round, subterranean termites find ideal conditions across Transylvania County.
Termite control
Rodents
Wooded properties bordering Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Forest give mice and rats an easy path indoors once temperatures drop each fall.
Rodent control
Wasps & hornets
Yellowjackets nest in woodpiles, mulch beds and under deck rails all over Transylvania County, and hornets hang their nests in the trees along forest edge lots. Late summer is peak season.

Carpenter bees
Log cabins, exposed porch beams and cedar siding around Brevard and Cedar Mountain are exactly what carpenter bees drill into each spring, and they come back to the same holes every year.

Mosquitos
Slow moving creeks and the humidity around Brevard's waterfalls create steady breeding grounds for mosquitoes from spring through early fall.

Local to Transylvania County
Your local Brevard exterminators
Brevard is home base. Our office has been on Rosman Highway since 1967, so when you call, you're talking to people who live here and know the difference between a cabin in Connestee Falls, a farmhouse in Penrose and a newer build off Wilson Road. Forest edge lots push rodents and carpenter ants indoors every fall, the damp ground near the French Broad and its waterfalls keeps termites working year round, and yellowjackets love a woodpile.
We also serve Pisgah Forest, Rosman, Dunns Rock, Cedar Mountain, Balsam Grove, Lake Toxaway and Scaly Mountain. If you're in Transylvania County, we're already nearby.

My home backs up to Pisgah National Forest. Does that mean I'll deal with more pests?
Generally, yes. Forest edge properties see more consistent rodent and carpenter ant pressure than homes further from tree lines. We build a wider perimeter treatment into plans for wooded properties so pests are stopped before they reach your foundation, not just after they get inside.
Do you treat seasonal or vacation homes near Lake Toxaway?
Yes. Many of the properties we service around Lake Toxaway and Balsam Grove sit empty for stretches at a time, so we schedule inspections around that, checking crawl spaces and attics even when no one's called to report an issue.
How fast can someone get out to Rosman or Balsam Grove?
Most homes in our Transylvania County service area get a technician within the same week, sooner for active infestations like rodents or stinging insects, regardless of how far out from Brevard you are.
Do you serve Pisgah Forest and Cedar Mountain?
Yes. Brevard is our home office, and Pisgah Forest, Cedar Mountain, Dunns Rock, Rosman, Penrose, Balsam Grove and Lake Toxaway are all part of our regular routes. If you're anywhere in Transylvania County, you're in our service area.
Can you get rid of a yellowjacket or hornet nest near my house?
Yes, and late summer is when we get the most calls for it. Yellowjackets nest in the ground, in woodpiles and under deck rails, and hornets build in trees and eaves. We'll remove the nest safely and treat the area so they don't rebuild. If you're seeing carpenter bee holes in a porch beam or siding, we handle those too.
