Common Pests in Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach residents frequently encounter several persistent pest challenges due to the city’s coastal location and humid climate. Our experienced technicians regularly address these common invaders:

  • Termites: The warm, humid climate of Virginia Beach creates perfect conditions for termite activity. These wood-destroying insects can cause significant structural damage if left untreated. Our termite control services include thorough inspections, effective treatments, and preventative measures to protect your home.

  • Ants: Various ant species, including carpenter ants and fire ants, are prevalent in Virginia Beach homes, particularly during summer months. They often invade kitchens, bathrooms, and even nest within walls. Our ant control service targets these persistent pests at their source.

  • Rodents: Mice and rats seek shelter in Virginia Beach homes, particularly during cooler months. Our rodent control services include exclusion, trapping, and preventative measures tailored to your property’s specific needs.

  • Cockroaches: The humid environment makes Virginia Beach homes susceptible to cockroach infestations. Our targeted roach control treatments eliminate existing populations and prevent future invasions.

  • Spiders: While most spiders are beneficial, some Virginia Beach species can be harmful. Our spider control services safely remove unwanted arachnids from your home.

  • Bed Bugs: These persistent pests can infest any home regardless of cleanliness. Our bed bug pest control service uses effective methods to eliminate infestations completely.

Things We Love About Virginia Beach

Universal Pest & Termite proudly serves all Virginia Beach neighborhoods, from the oceanfront high-rises to historic Kempsville homes. Our termite specialists regularly work throughout Sandbridge, North End, Hilltop, Windsor Woods, Princess Anne, Lynnhaven, Pembroke, and Bayside communities.

As local Virginia Beach residents ourselves, we appreciate our city’s unique character. After completing termite inspections near the boardwalk, our team often enjoys lunch at Catch 31 with its fresh seafood and beautiful ocean views. We’re also fans of the peaceful trails at False Cape State Park where we can spot local wildlife in their natural habitat—thankfully, termites are less visible there than in untreated homes!

Why Choose Universal for Virginia Beach Termite Control

The Universal Pest technician was thorough and professional during our termite inspection. He found evidence of termites that two other companies missed and explained the treatment options clearly. Our home is now protected with their Sentricon system.
Michael T., North End

We discovered termite damage while renovating our Kempsville home and Universal Pest responded the same day. Their liquid treatment was completed efficiently, and they even helped coordinate repairs. Five years later, we’re still termite-free!

Frequently Asked Questions About Termite Control in Virginia Beach

When do termites typically swarm in Virginia Beach?

In Virginia Beach, termite swarms typically occur from late February through May, particularly after warm spring rains. Oceanfront properties may experience earlier swarm activity due to the milder temperatures near the coast. If you notice winged insects emerging from your home during this period, it’s critical to have a professional inspection immediately, as swarming indicates a mature termite colony is already established nearby.

Virginia Beach’s predominately sandy soil presents unique challenges for termite protection. While sandy soil drains well, it also allows termites to tunnel more easily than clay soils, potentially giving them greater access to your home’s foundation. Additionally, many Virginia Beach neighborhoods built on previously wooded areas have higher termite pressure. Our treatments account for these soil conditions with appropriate application methods and products specifically designed for sandy coastal environments.

Absolutely. While newer developments in areas like Princess Anne and Strawbridge have soil pre-treatments during construction, this protection typically lasts only 5-7 years. Without ongoing protection, Virginia Beach homes of any age remain vulnerable. Additionally, many newer Virginia Beach homes use more wood-composite materials that, while more water-resistant, still contain cellulose that termites can consume. We recommend establishing termite protection regardless of your home’s age.

Oceanfront, Lynnhaven River, and Rudee Inlet properties face heightened termite risks due to elevated moisture levels and tidal influences. For these Virginia Beach waterfront homes, we often recommend the Sentricon system as it’s unaffected by tidal waters and won’t leach into sensitive wetland environments. For homes with bulkheads or riprap shorelines, we implement specialized treatment protocols that address the unique soil-structure interface these properties present.

Virginia Beach real estate transactions often require a Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) inspection. These reports document active infestations, previous treatment, and conducive conditions. As local experts, we understand what Virginia lenders require and provide comprehensive reports accepted by all major mortgage companies. We can typically complete rush inspections within 48 hours to accommodate tight closing schedules, and our reports include detailed digital documentation that speeds the underwriting process.
