Ant Control
The EcoTek exterminators are experts at eliminating ants inside of your home and on your property. We understand the different types of ants that can invade your yard and home, and know the different ways to eliminate them. North Carolina is home to carpenter ants, which can destroy wood just like termites, but there are also fire ants that can produce a multitude of ant mounds throughout your property and are dangerous for both your family and pets since their painful bite can cause welts, and in some cases require immediate medical attention. There are also house ants that can infest your home and make your cupboards their home.
It is important to do more than just treat for the ants that are coming into your home. In order to truly eliminate the ants you need to kill the queen to eliminate the colony. The experts at EcoTek can identify where the colony is and treat it so that you no longer have an issue with ants. Our ant control service has both a conventional and an organic solution to getting rid of ants quickly without leaving any harsh residues. Our solutions are safe for you, your family and your pets.

This can be frustrating, especially when you consider how cockroaches can infest your food and pose health risks to your family. Cockroaches can carry bacteria that an cause a number of illnesses. They can also aggravate people who are susceptible to asthma and allergies. Even if you are diligent in cleaning your home, some may wander in looking for food or water.

Fleas and Tick Control
Although most people call EcoTek to eliminate fleas and ticks from their yard and/or home out of concern for their pets, ticks pose a serious threat to people as well and should be completely eliminated from the areas around your yard so they don’t attach themselves to either you or your pets and pass the potential for both Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Ticks may enter your home on a pet or or on your clothing and then wander around your home looking for a place to feed.
Fleas are also known carriers of typhus, tapeworms, and cat scratch fever. They can multiply rapidly. You may notice that you have fleas if you have bites around your ankles or that your pet is scratching. You need to do more than just treat your pets if you notice these symptoms. We can not only completely get rid of fleas and ticks on your property before they can enter your home or business, but we can also kill whatever has already entered your home or company so you don’t have to worry about being bitten any more!

Rodent Control
Rats and mice cause more damage inside our homes than any other animal in the world. They spoil food; spread salmonella, hantavirus and 17 other diseases – many that are deadly. They can chew through just about anything (including electrical wiring), and not only cause thousands of dollars worth of damage, but the damage to electrical wiring can cause fires. Rats and mice reproduce rapidly, and can multiple from just a few to hundreds in a very short period of time. They can leave droppings, fur and blood throughout the home making it unsanitary and unsafe for your family.
If you spot signs of rodents like droppings on the floor or on your counters, or if you hear them crawling around your house at night, you need to take action immediately. Our rodent pest control team will remove the rats or mice along with their nests, as well as clean up the droppings and any affected areas. One call to EcoTek, and we’ll not only come out for a free inspection and estimate, but we also offer same day service and money back guarantees!
Wildlife Trapping and Removal

There are quite a few different types of wild animals that can damage your property, and depending on where you live, your property can be damaged by raccoons, foxes, snakes, woodchucks, skunks, gophers, squirrels, bears, birds, bats, rabbits, deer, and maybe even animals we don’t list but are causing you problems.
