Ant Control for Hampton Homes
One steady summer downpour tends to send ants marching along Buckroe baseboards and up onto Phoebus kitchen counters.
We follow each line back to the nest and treat the colony where it lives, so the trouble does not simply shift to the next wall.
Warm salt air and damp soil give ants everything they need on the Peninsula. Odorous house ants march indoors looking for water, while carpenter ants hunt for the soft, moisture-damaged wood common in the older cottages around Buckroe and Wythe. Spring and summer bring the biggest surge, when colonies split and send workers hunting for new food and nesting sites.
Our technicians first map the active trails and locate the nest, then set baits and targeted products that foraging workers haul back to the queen. We follow up by sealing entry points and knocking down the moisture and food that drew them in. Quarterly plans starting at $34/month keep new colonies from taking hold, and every visit is backed by our Pest-Free Guarantee.

| 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. Simple, predictable monthly payments. | Most pest control companies Financing, where it is offered, is commonly arranged separately through a third-party lender. |
| 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. The people who answer the phone and the crews at your door are your neighbors. | Most pest control companies Ownership varies — many local branches are franchises of national brands, with crews dispatched from outside the area. |
| Guarantees in writing | Universal Pest Control Pest-Free Guarantee and Termite-Free Guarantee: if pests come back between scheduled visits, so do we, at no extra charge. 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. |
