Century Termite & Pest is a full-service pest/termite control company - we do wildlife trappings and seal up along with repairs.
"Don’t waste your money with this firm. They don’t deliver. About a year ago, I was convinced by a salesman of the company that the scratching noises I was hearing in my house were caused by mice roaming around in the walls of the house. I spent over $12,000 and took on a $150 quarterly maintenance plan to get rid of the mice. The company replaced all insulation in my attic and other areas. Also, the company told me they sealed all holes that the mice might use to enter the house. Over the past year, I have complained repeatedly about the mice still roaming around in my house. Most times, an agent would come to the house, look around the outside and place glue traps in areas inside the house. These are amateurish actions I could undertake myself. Recently, I complained by letter to the owner of Century, Mr. Brett Nunn, about my mice problem. Mr. Nunn did not respond to my letter."

PestNow brand was founded in Virginia in 1995 as Superior Pest Management when four high school friends came together to form their own company. Today, we have multiple locations in three states, and serve thousands of happy customers. We offer pest control; termite treatments and warranties; mosquito, flea & tick control; WDIs (real estate inspections); lawn fertilization & weed control; TAP insulation; and wildlife solutions for homeowners and businesses in the mid-Atlantic.
"PestNow was hired to inspect our house for termites. This was required by the lender of the family buying our house. PestNow found a pile of wood leaning up against a deck column they said needed repair due to termite damage. PestNow also required the entire house be treated. There were no termites found anywhere other than the pile of wood, according to PestNow. They quoted us for over $800 to treat the house. We questioned the need and amount so they lowered it to $580. As a result of PestNow stating they found termites in the deck column, the lender of the buyers required the deck column be repaired due to termite damage. The deck repair company assessed the deck column agreeing it needed to be repaired, but not due to termites, rather moisture. I question whether PestNow found termites at all. Their unethical tactics cost us well over $1,000. Beware of PestNow."

"The work was excellent. Will came for the estimate and was very polite and kind. He explained the process to me and answered my questions. Fortunately, whatever was in my attic vacated before Will arrived so I was able to proceed with repairs without fear of trapping any unfortunate critters inside my attic. All of the work was unobtrusive and remained outside. J.P. and Austin were the ones that did the repairs. I was very happy with the end results! They too were both very kind and polite and addressed all of my questions. For both appointments (estimate and repair), the technicians were on time. They worked very efficiently too. I was very happy that I found a company who could deal with both possible animal removal and the repair of damage caused by animals getting into the attic."

Home-applied pest treatments can address small to moderate problems, particularly when properly applied according to the manufacturer's directions. These consumer products contain lower concentrations of active ingredients than professional formulations and may lack the precision application methods professionals employ. While DIY approaches work well for contained issues and preventative maintenance, extensive infestations involving termites, bed bugs, or widespread cockroach problems often require professional intervention for complete resolution.
Most bug bombs protect your home for one to three months, depending on the specific formulation and environmental conditions. Environmental factors, including sunshine exposure, rainfall, and regular cleaning activities, can significantly reduce effectiveness over time. Most liquid applications require refreshing every four to eight weeks, while solid bait stations may remain active somewhat longer. Regular monitoring lets you determine when reapplication is necessary based on your specific situation.
Carefully review all product documentation before beginning the application. Protect yourself with appropriate clothing, including gloves, long-sleeved shirts, pants, and eye protection throughout the process. Keep children and pets away from treated areas for the duration specified on product labels. When using aerosol foggers, evacuate the treatment area immediately after activation and thoroughly ventilate spaces before re-entry. Always store unused product in original packaging in secure areas inaccessible to children and pets.
