Termite Control for Norfolk Homes
Eastern subterranean termites work quietly under Norfolk's raised foundations and rare basements, and spring swarms are often the first sign a home already has a problem.
Our technicians install proven colony-elimination systems before the damage adds up.

Warm, humid coastal air and moist soil near the Lafayette River give subterranean termites everything they need year-round. Colonies build mud tubes up foundation walls and reach sills and joists long before homeowners notice. Homes in Colonial Place and Downtown, with decades-old wood and shaded lots, are prime targets. Swarm season in spring drives most of the calls we answer.
We inspect the foundation, crawl space, and wood members, then set up either Sentricon bait stations for full colony elimination or a liquid barrier around the structure. Annual inspections keep the protection current and catch new activity early. As a Sentricon Certified company, we back the work with our Termite-Free Guarantee.
Home Termite Inspections & WDI Reports in Norfolk
A homeowner calling about termites or an annual checkup receives a free inspection. Our technician walks the accessible crawl space or slab perimeter, checks foundation walls, sill plates, joists, and other exposed wood, and looks for mud tubes, swarm evidence, moisture, and conditions that invite termites.
Buying, selling, or refinancing is different: the written wood-destroying insect report for a real-estate transaction (WDI/WDIR, often called a WDO letter) is a separate paid service. Its published fee is $75 – $125, based on the property; it is not included with the free homeowner inspection. You receive a clear explanation of the findings and your options if activity or conducive conditions are found.

Termite Control in Norfolk: Frequently Asked Questions
Does your Norfolk service include a guarantee?
If subterranean termites return in Norfolk, you are covered. Should activity return near Ocean View, we return to re-treat the problem area. You never pay twice to keep your Norfolk home protected.
Ask about our Norfolk Pest-Free GuaranteeWhich pests do Norfolk homeowners deal with most?
Norfolk properties see steady pressure from subterranean termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and wood fungus. We track how subterranean termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and wood fungus move through Norfolk yards, mulch beds, and foundations. That local knowledge lets us protect Norfolk homes before an infestation takes hold.
Get a free Norfolk pest assessmentDo you use family-safe products in Norfolk?
Absolutely; we design Norfolk treatments around pets and kids. Materials are placed precisely where subterranean termites travel, not across open floors in Norfolk. That keeps Norfolk families safe without giving up any effectiveness.

Yes. A WDI/WDIR report, sometimes called a WDO letter, is a separate paid real-estate service — it is not included with the free homeowner termite inspection.

We inspect the accessible structure, crawl space, foundation, and wood members for active or previous wood-destroying insect activity and conducive moisture conditions, then provide the documentation a Norfolk closing or refinance needs.

| 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.

| Family owned & operated | Universal Pest Control Owned and run by a family that has lived in Hampton Roads their whole lives.

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. |
