Termite damage can be detrimental to your home or business. A termite colony will feed on a food source until it's gone, which could cause significant structural damage. Quick action should be taken to control termites and minimize or prevent damage. Your home is a place of comfort and we know that the last thing your family wants is to share it with unwelcome bugs and insects. We specialize in the prevention and elimination of many pests including roaches, ants, fleas, cockroaches, spiders and more.

No one likes pests in their home. There's no question: of all the potential bugs that you might have to deal with, bed bugs are amongst the worst. Even determining whether or not you have bed bugs in the first place can be a challenge. They're incredibly small, hard to see, and generally only come out at night to feed. On top of this, they tend to hide in places during the day where they're hard to spot, including your mattress, furniture and baseboards. Plus, bringing bed bugs home from a hotel, friend's house, or public place is easier than you might think.

During a termite inspection for wood destroying insects, we also look for any moisture issues in your crawl and attic space. Using a moisture meter, we can determine and diagnose any potential problems in your crawl space. We consider this a standard practice because high moisture can be conducive to many different threats including various types of fungi, termites, and other wood destroying organisms such as powderpost beetles which are common in North Carolina. Wood actually absorbs moisture from the air which is a common problem here in the south, including North Carolina where we have high humidity throughout the summer.

Termites are as fascinating as they are destructive. Termite queens have the longest lifespan of any insect alive. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage every year in the United States alone. They consume cellulose, the fibrous compound that serves as an important component in the cell wall of green plants. Unfortunately, wood is comprised of about 40-50% cellulose, and that makes your home a potential prime target for the hungry hunters. Termite infestations are often unnoticeable, causing significant damage to the structural integrity of your home or business for years before making their presence known.

Roaches can be disturbing to find in your home, which is bad enough, but they are also known to carry a number of diseases, which is why getting a professional roach control and removal specialist is so important. Cockroaches are filthy insects with bad habits you do not want around your home or food prep areas. Controlling roaches is important because they can help spread disease and dirt around a home and cause businesses to lose their reputation or even be shut down. At Wheeler Exterminating we are extremely experienced in dealing with roach infestations of all types.
