Helping Blowing Rock Since 1966
Your home should be a peaceful place to rest, relax, live, and play—it shouldn’t be a source of stress. Without termite control, though, that’s exactly what it can turn into. At A-1 we have decades of experience and the most up-to-date technology, and we put all of that to work to make sure your home and family stay safe.
In Blowing Rock, we most often see Eastern subterranean termites. These insects spend 24 hours a day, seven days a week consuming wood of all types, including that of your floor, walls, and furniture. When it comes to controlling these infestations, there are a few especially effective options.
Understanding Termite Damage
Termites cause billions in property damage across the United States each year, silently weakening structures from the inside out. In Blowing Rock homes, this often starts in hidden areas like crawl spaces or foundations, leading to costly repairs if not addressed early.
Signs of Termite Activity
Look for mud tubes along your home’s exterior, discarded wings near windows, or hollow-sounding wood when tapped. These are clear indicators of termite activity that warrant immediate attention from a professional termite exterminator.
Effective Blowing Rock Termite Control
Turn to A-1 Pest Control for effective Blowing Rock termite control and treatment. We use a combination of proven methods tailored to your property, from liquid barriers to bait systems, we eliminate colonies and prevent future invasions.
Termite Treatments Explained
Effective termite treatments use EPA-approved termiticides applied in accordance with label directions. These can include soil treatments around the foundation or targeted applications in wall voids and concrete slabs to create protective barriers.
Bait Stations for Long-Term Protection
Bait stations, such as those in the Sentricon system, contain slow-acting insecticides that worker termites carry back to the colony. This disrupts insect development and leads to colony elimination over time.

A-1's Termite Prevention Process
If you are building a new home, or moving into a newly constructed building, termite prevention is a crucial part of maintaining it. Similarly, if you are remodeling an older home without an infestation, it’s never too late to start using termite prevention tools.
A-1 offers pre-treatment services for both residential and commercial structures, which can address the wood and soil that make up and surround your home to keep termites out. Yearly maintenance, like that offered in several of our A-1 Pest Control plans, keeps them out by refreshing the barrier surrounding your home.
That barrier is created by a system called Termidor, one of the most popular choices in the nation for the prevention and elimination of termites. This liquid treatment is first placed around the perimeter of your house. As termites come into contact with the border, they eat or walk through it, which begins to poison them. If they make it back to the colony, they then spread the Termidor treatment to the others, eliminating each member.
Preventing Termite Infestations
Reduce risks by sealing cracks in foundations, removing wood debris near your home, and ensuring proper drainage to minimize moisture. These steps, combined with professional treatments, protect your investment from termite species common in North Carolina.
Termite Monitoring Systems
Count on A-1 Pest Control to setup a termite monitoring system to detect early activity. Our pest management professionals place stations around your property are check regularly to catch issues before they escalate.
Termite Inspection
A thorough termite inspection is the first step in identifying potential problems. Our trained experts examine your property for signs like swarmers, damaged wood, or mud tubes.
Signs a Termite Extermination is Needed
Indicators of a termite infestation:
- Drywall that appears to be drooping
- Peeling or cracking paint
- A hollow sound when knocking on the walls
- Small, pinpoint-sized holes in the wall
- Buckling wood floors
- Crumbling wood
- Piles of small wings left behind (particularly on windowsills!)
- Mud tubes around the base of the house
If you see signs of termite damage, our extensive Blowing Rock termite control is here to prevent termite activity and discourage new termites from making your home theirs.
We place in-ground bait traps around your home that halt the maturation process, leading to the destruction of the entire colony. The bait traps are locked with a key to prevent children or pets from getting into them. Traps are checked annually, cleaned out and disposed of, and your home is inspected to ensure complete eradication.
Choosing a Termite Exterminator
Our termite exterminators have local expertise with Blowing Rock's climate and common termite species. Plus, we are proud to provide certified pest management professionals who follow best practices for safe, effective results.
DIY vs. Professional Termite Pest Control
While DIY products are available, they often lack the potency and precision of professional applications. For severe infestations, rely on our licensed pest control company to ensure complete eradication without risking your family's safety.
