Expert Tick Control in Hampton Roads
Yard treatments that break the tick life cycle and protect pets and kids. Humid summers and mild winters give pests a long season here, so we work the source rather than the symptom — find where the infestation starts, clear it, and close the way back in.
Our Proven 3-Step Process
Inspect
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your property to identify the exact species, entry points, and nesting areas.
Treat
Using advanced, targeted treatments, we eliminate the infestation at its source while keeping your family and pets safe.
Guarantee
We back our work with our Pest-Free Guarantee. If they return between scheduled visits, we return for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a tick problem in my Hampton Roads yard?
You may notice ticks clinging to tall grass along wooded borders, or find them attached to pets after they play outside near shaded, leaf-littered areas. In Virginia Beach and throughout Hampton Roads, deer ticks, lone star ticks, and American dog ticks are common, especially where lawns meet brush or marshland. If family members or pets are coming inside with ticks, it is time for a professional yard inspection.
Why are ticks such a problem in Virginia Beach and coastal Virginia?
Our tidewater climate, with humid summers, mild winters, and abundant deer and rodent hosts, allows ticks to stay active for much of the year. Coastal Hampton Roads properties often back up to woods, dunes, or marshy areas that create ideal shaded, moist habitat for ticks to thrive. This also raises the local risk of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Reduce Your Tick Risk
Let us target the shaded, brushy zones where ticks hide on your property.
Request ServiceAre your tick treatments safe for my kids and pets?
Yes, we use pet-safe and family-safe products applied by trained technicians who focus on tick harborage areas rather than saturating your living spaces. Once the treated areas are dry, your children and pets can safely return to the yard. All-natural product options are also available upon request for families who prefer them.

| 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.

| 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.
