Now Hiring in Hampton Roads

Build a career with Universal

We protect homes across the seven cities — pest and termite control, crawl spaces, insulation and duct cleaning. If you like solving real problems for real neighbors and doing the job properly, we'd like to meet you.

What it's like to work here

Universal is a Virginia Beach company. The owners are on site, the crews know each other, and the customer whose crawl space you fixed is somebody you might see at the grocery store.

Family owned, not a national chain

Universal has been family owned and operated in Hampton Roads since 2000 — 26 years of the same people making the decisions.

You stay local

Our work is Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton and Newport News. You go home at the end of every day.

Three trades under one roof

Pest and termite, insulation, and duct cleaning. Technicians who want to learn a second trade have somewhere to go.

Work that holds up

We've serviced 100,000+ homes and we stand behind all of it with our guarantees — the standard is doing the job properly the first time.

Positions we're hiring for

Field roles mean attics, crawl spaces and driving between homes across Hampton Roads. Office roles mean being the person a worried customer speaks to first. Pick the one that fits and it will fill itself in on the form below.

Pest Control Technician

Run a route of homes and businesses across Hampton Roads — inspections, quarterly services, and callbacks for ants, roaches, rodents, spiders and stinging insects.

Crawlspace Technician

Hands-on work under houses: vapor barriers, encapsulation, dehumidifiers and sump pumps that dry a crawl space out and keep it that way.

Termite Technician

Termite inspections and treatments — liquid barriers, bait stations, and the follow-up visits behind our Termite-Free Guarantee.

Insulation Technician

Attic and crawl space insulation removal and installation, air sealing, and clean-up work after rodent activity.

Office Administrator

The voice of the company: answering calls, looking after customer accounts and paperwork, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Why Universal

How We Compare to Other Pest Control Companies

Not every pest control company in Hampton Roads offers the same thing. Here is a straight comparison of what you get with Universal Pest Control and what is common elsewhere in the industry.

Comparison of Universal Pest & Termite, Inc. against common practice among other pest control companies serving Hampton Roads.
What to compare	Universal Pest Control	Most pest control companies
UniGuard ProgramExclusive	Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together.	Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of.
SmartPay financingExclusive	Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday. Simple, predictable monthly payments.	Most pest control companies Financing, where it is offered, is commonly arranged separately through a third-party lender.
Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive	Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original.	Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material.
Total Home Health Network	Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order.	Most pest control companies Pest control only. Insulation and duct work are usually booked with separate vendors on separate timelines.
A+ BBB rating	Universal Pest Control BBB accredited since 2007 with an A+ rating, earned through consistent, honest work in the same community.	Most pest control companies Accreditation and ratings vary by company — worth checking before you book anyone.
26+ years in business	Universal Pest Control Protecting Hampton Roads homes since 2000 — more than 26 years in the same market, with over 100,000+ homes serviced.	Most pest control companies Tenure in the area varies widely; newer branches and recently opened franchises are common.
Family owned & operated	Universal Pest Control Owned and run by a family that has lived in Hampton Roads their whole lives. The people who answer the phone and the crews at your door are your neighbors.	Most pest control companies Ownership varies — many local branches are franchises of national brands, with crews dispatched from outside the area.
Guarantees in writing	Universal Pest Control Pest-Free Guarantee and Termite-Free Guarantee: if pests come back between scheduled visits, so do we, at no extra charge. Free inspections, plus same-day and next-day service.	Most pest control companies Retreatment terms, callback windows, and what counts as covered differ from contract to contract.

The highlighted Universal Pest & Termite column reflects services we provide directly or through the Universal family of companies. The “Most pest control companies” column describes common industry practice in general terms and is not a statement about any particular company — some companies may offer services that are similar, so ask any provider exactly what their plan, warranty, and quote include before you sign.
