Expert All-Natural & Green Pest Control in Hampton Roads

Green pest control means treating your home with plant-derived botanical actives — rosemary, peppermint, thyme, wintergreen and similar oils — placed as targeted perimeter bands and crack-and-crevice applications instead of broad synthetic sprays. It is a different product class, not a lighter version of the same visit: the same inspection, the same entry points, the same technician.

How Our Green Service Works

The botanical line is a different product class with a different trade-off, and the visit is built around that difference rather than around the spray alone.

Plant-derived active ingredients

Instead of the synthetic residuals used in conventional service, these products are built on botanical oils — rosemary, peppermint, thyme, wintergreen and similar. Every product we apply is used at the rates and in the places its label allows, and your technician can show you that label at your home.

Shorter residual, more visits

Plant oils break down faster in sunlight, heat and rain than conventional residuals. Green service is therefore built around scheduled quarterly visits and unlimited free returns in between rather than around one long-lasting barrier.

Exclusion does the heavy lifting

Because the chemistry is short-lived, the physical work matters more: sealing gaps at pipe penetrations and door sweeps, clearing harborage against the foundation, and correcting the crawl space moisture that draws pests in to begin with.

Green does not cover everything

We do not use the botanical line on subterranean termites, an active bed bug infestation, or an entrenched German roach population. Termites are treated with a registered liquid termiticide or an in-ground bait system; bed bugs and heavy roach populations take conventional products and follow-up visits. We will tell you plainly when green is the wrong tool rather than sell you a treatment that will not hold.

Pests We Treat With the Green Line

The botanical products cover the common household invaders most Hampton Roads homes call about:

Our Proven 3-Step Process

1

Inspect & Identify

We walk the perimeter, the crawl space access and the interior hot spots to find where pests are actually getting in — botanical products reward accuracy, so the inspection is what makes them work.

2

Treat With the Green Line

Botanical perimeter bands, crack-and-crevice placements, and mechanical trapping for rodents, concentrated where the pressure is instead of sprayed across the whole yard.

3

Return Between Visits

Plant oils break down faster in sun and rain than conventional residuals, so the plan is built around quarterly service plus free return visits whenever something shows up in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there really no extra charge for all-natural pest control?

Correct — the green product line is part of our standard quarterly service pricing rather than a paid add-on, so the plan costs the same whether your technician treats with conventional or botanical products. Green product lines commonly carry an upcharge elsewhere in the industry, which is why the question comes up. Just tell us at the appointment, or note it when you request a quote, and we will build the visit around the botanical line.

Does green pest control actually work as well as conventional products?

For the common household pests — ants, spiders, occasional invaders, and general perimeter maintenance — botanical treatments handle the job well when they are placed accurately and backed by regular visits. The honest trade-off is longevity: plant oils break down faster in sun and rain than conventional residuals, so results depend more on scheduled quarterly service, free return visits between them, and sealing the entry points than on the spray itself. For an established bed bug infestation or a heavy German roach population we will recommend conventional products instead, and termites are their own job entirely.

Schedule My Inspection

Are green treatments safe around my kids and pets?

Every product we use — botanical or conventional — is applied by a licensed technician at the rates and in the locations its label allows, and your technician can show you the label for anything going down at your home. In practice that means material is placed along the foundation, in cracks and crevices, and in the specific areas where pests are active rather than broadcast across your yard or living space, and we ask that people and pets stay off treated surfaces until they are dry. If anyone in the household has an allergy or a respiratory condition, tell your technician before the visit so placement and timing can be adjusted.

Request Service

Are there long-term contracts for the green quarterly plan?

No. The membership subscription runs quarter to quarter and you can cancel at any time without a termination fee, which is the same arrangement as our conventional plans. Annual agreements of twelve to twenty-four months are common in this industry, so it is worth asking any company you are comparing us against what their cancellation terms look like before you sign.

Can you treat termites with all-natural products?

No — we do not offer a botanical option for termites. Subterranean termites in Hampton Roads work below grade, and we treat them either with a registered liquid termiticide applied to the soil around the structure or with an in-ground bait system. If you would rather keep the amount of product in the soil to a minimum on a termite job, ask us about the bait system: the active ingredient sits in sealed in-ground stations instead of a treated soil line around the whole house.

How do I ask for green products on a service I already have booked?

Call the office or tell the technician when they arrive — it does not require rescheduling or a new agreement, and it does not change what you pay. Existing membership customers can switch at any regular quarterly visit and switch back just as easily if a particular pest problem calls for a conventional product that quarter.

"Stephen was fantastic!! What a breath of fresh air after working with another company that was just ripping us off. Stephen was very informative and answered all my questions. I feel confident in the work he is doing and look forward to future visits. I would highly recommend Stephen and Universal for pest control."
