Every year on April 22, we celebrate Earth Day—a global reminder of the importance of caring for the world we share. At Pest & Termite Consultants, Earth Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a reflection of our daily commitment to responsible, eco-friendly pest control in the communities we serve.

Whether you’re in Raleigh, Fuquay-Varina, Durham,  Wilmington, or the surrounding areas, our mission remains the same: to protect your home from pests using safe, sustainable methods that minimize environmental impact.

Why Eco-Friendly Pest Control Matters in 2025

Conventional pest control often relies on broad-spectrum chemical treatments, which can be effective—but may also impact pollinators, wildlife, pets, and people when overused or applied incorrectly. That’s why more homeowners in North Carolina are searching for things like:

Our approach is built around the idea that effective pest control doesn’t have to come at the expense of environmental health. We believe that you shouldn’t have to choose between protecting your home and protecting the planet.

How Pest & Termite Consultants Practices Earth-Conscious Pest Control

Here’s how we incorporate sustainable pest control practices into our everyday work:

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We focus on prevention first. That means identifying and removing what attracts pests (food, water, shelter) before applying any treatments. This limits chemical use and supports long-term success.

Targeted Applications, Not Blanket Sprays

Our trained technicians use precise application methods—such as crack-and-crevice treatment, baiting systems, and perimeter barriers—to treat only where it’s needed. This reduces exposure and preserves beneficial insects.

Family- and Pet-Safe Products

We choose low-impact pest control products that are registered with the EPA and proven to be safe for children and pets when applied according to guidelines.

Eco-Friendly Termite Control

Our Trelona ATBS termite baiting system is a highly effective alternative to liquid soil treatments. It uses targeted bait stations that eliminate the colony with minimal environmental disruption.

Seasonal Mosquito Treatments with Precision Misting

Instead of fogging large areas, we apply residual mosquito treatments to mosquito harborage zones (under shrubs, shaded areas, around foundations), minimizing runoff and drift.
