Pest Control Services in Newport News: What They Cover
Pest control services are the inspection, treatment and follow-up that stop insects and other pests from living in your home. Colonial Exterminating provides them across Newport News, VA, for ants, spiders, crickets, silverfish, fleas, bed bugs and roaches, either as a one-time treatment or on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly plan, for
homes and
businesses. We've done this work since 1973 from our office at 810 Forrest Dr.
Pests We Treat in Newport News
Insects That Come in From the Yard
Ants, spiders, crickets and camel crickets move in from mulch beds, wooded edges and crawl spaces. In Newport News neighborhoods with mature trees, like Hidenwood, they reach the house quickly. Treatment targets the exterior and the foundation, where they first enter.
Pests That Follow Moisture
American roaches, German roaches and silverfish look for water: under sinks, in laundry rooms, along damp crawl space walls. Treating them means treating the interior and addressing the moisture that attracted them. Our moisture control page covers what we can fix.
Pests That Hitchhike
Fleas and bed bugs arrive on pets, luggage, furniture and clothing. They show up in homes that are perfectly clean, and they need prompt treatment because they spread from room to room.
Rodents
Mice and rats are handled separately. General insect plans do not cover them. See
rodent control in Newport News.
Signs You Need Pest Control in Newport News
Some pest problems announce themselves. Others only show up as small changes you can easily dismiss:
▸ Ants trailing across a counter, along a baseboard or out of a wall outlet
▸ Cockroaches appearing at night when you turn on a kitchen or bathroom light
▸ Spiders or silverfish gathering in a damp crawl space, basement or laundry room
▸ Small, itchy bites that appear overnight, which can point to fleas or bed bugs
▸ Pests you've cleaned up and treated yourself that keep coming back
One sighting doesn't always mean an infestation. A repeat sighting in the same place usually means they're nesting nearby, and that's the time to call.
How a Pest Control Visit Works in Newport News
1. Inspection
A technician checks the interior, the exterior and the foundation for activity, entry points and conditions that invite pests.
2. Treatment of Problem Areas Inside
We treat the areas where pests are active, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and crawl spaces,.
3. Exterior and Foundation Treatment
The outside of the home gets a perimeter treatment, and the foundation receives a water-activated granular treatment.
4. Follow-Up Between Visits
If a new problem appears between visits on a plan, we treat it at no extra charge.
One-Time Pest Removal or a Recurring Plan?
Pest removal is a single visit aimed at an active problem. It makes sense when you've found something specific, like ants in the kitchen or fleas after a pet visit, and you want it handled now. A recurring plan is better when pests keep coming back, because the exterior and foundation treatments work between visits, not just after them.
Our general insect plans run monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. Each includes:
▸ A complete annual visual inspection
▸ Inspection and treatment of problem areas inside the home
▸ Treatment of the outside of the home
▸ A water-activated granular treatment on the foundation
▸ Treatment of additional problems at no charge
Rodents are not included. Each plan is listed under
maintenance packages, and new customers can ask about the special offer.
What Affects the Cost of Pest Control in Newport News?
Every property is different, so we quote each job after an inspection. Three things drive the price: the size and construction of the property, which pests are involved and how active they are, and how often you want visits. A one-bedroom condo with an occasional ant line is a different job than a large house with a damp crawl space. Call
757-599-0889 for a free estimate and we'll tell you what drives yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control Services in Newport News
How Much Does Pest Control Cost in Newport News?
Price depends on the size of the property, the pest and how often you want service. Call 757-599-0889 for a free estimate. Plans can be monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly, which lets you match the schedule to your budget.
Is a One-Time Treatment Enough?
Sometimes. If you have a short-term problem such as a few ants or fleas, one treatment may be enough. If pests return every season, a plan gives you exterior and foundation protection that keeps working between visits.
What Happens if Pests Come Back Between Visits?
If you're on one of our plans, we treat additional problems at no charge. Call us when you notice them and we'll come out. Rodents aren't included in the general plans.
How Should I Prepare for a Visit?
Clear access to areas where you've seen pests, such as the space under kitchen and bathroom sinks, and tell the technician what you've noticed and where. Mention children and pets when you schedule so the technician can explain where product goes and when to stay away from treated areas.
Do You Treat for Bed Bugs and Fleas?
Yes. Bed bugs and fleas are on our list of target pests, along with ants, spiders, crickets, silverfish, German roaches, American roaches and camel crickets. Call for an inspection and we'll tell you what treatment looks like for your home.
