Reliable Termite Control & Protection in Gatesville, NC
Protect My Home!
Protecting Homes from Silent Destroyers
Termites can cause serious damage to a home and cost property owners billions of dollars each year. Most standard homeowners insurance plans do not cover this kind of damage. Our local team offers trusted termite detection, treatment, and long-term prevention to help protect your property. With expert care and proven solutions, you can feel more confident about keeping your home safe.
Termite Control Solutions
PestNow helps homeowners feel confident with a Renewable Termite Warranty that offers lasting protection. The program is built for complete elimination, so treatments target the whole colony, not just the termites you can see.
If new termite activity shows up, PestNow provides free retreatments as long as the annual warranty stays current. The warranty also transfers to the next buyer with no transfer fees if the home is sold. With this plan in place, homeowners get strong treatment and dependable support year after year.
Real Estate Inspections
Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, but PestNow makes the termite inspection process simple and stress-free. We provide fast and accurate Wood-Destroying Insect, or WDI, reports that many mortgage lenders need before closing.
Our experienced team works quickly to help keep your real estate transaction on track. If the home already has an active PestNow Termite Warranty, it can transfer to the new buyer at no extra cost. This provides the new homeowner with immediate protection and adds value to the property. With PestNow, you can move forward with greater confidence and less delay.

What is a WDI Report?
A WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) report is a specialized inspection required by most lenders for home purchases or refinances. It checks for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, and wood-boring beetles. In the DMV, this report is essential for a smooth real estate closing, and PestNow provides these fast, digital reports to realtors and buyers to keep the process moving.
Does my homeowners' insurance cover termite damage?
Unfortunately, no. Standard homeowners' insurance in Virginia, Maryland, and DC almost never covers termite damage or repairs. This is why a professional warranty is so important—it acts as the protection your insurance company doesn't provide.
What type of termites do you protect against?
At PestNow, our protection plans are specifically designed to target these pests, which are the most common and destructive termites in the eastern United States. Unlike some pests that live entirely inside your wood, Eastern Subterranean termites live in the soil and build "mud tubes" to reach your home. Here is how we protect against them:
Targeting the "Silent Destroyer"
Eastern Subterranean termites are often called "silent destroyers" because they can chew through structural wood for years without being noticed. While there are thousands of termite species, the Eastern Subterranean termite is responsible for the vast majority of damage in Maryland. By focusing our treatments on their specific biology—like their need for moisture and their nesting habits in the soil—we can provide a much more effective defense for your home. PestNow technicians are experts at finding their hidden entry points and travel paths.
How do I know if I actually have termites or just ants?
It is very common for homeowners to confuse Termite Swarmers with Flying Ants, especially in the spring. Termites have straight antennae, equal-length wings, and a thick waist, whereas ants have elbowed antennae and "pinched" waists. PestNow provides professional inspections to give you a definitive ID so you don't pay for a termite treatment you might not need—or ignore a problem that is eating your home.
