  1. Locally owned, and known in Henderson

    Whitco is locally owned and operated out of 123 E Belle St, and it is licensed, bonded and insured. Customers talk about the length of the relationship before they talk about anything else.

    “I've used the services of Whitco for over 20 years and I've never had a negative experience. The folks that work for Whitco are professional as well as personable.”

    Russ Allen, Google

  2. Know the pest before choosing the product

    Treatment is targeted from knowledge of how each pest lives and travels: barrier techniques along the foundation, baits on the routes pests use, insect growth regulators, and strategic baiting plus exclusion for rodents.

    “Josh stopped our ant problem after 2 other companies couldn't!”

    Walter Costas, from Whitco's reviews page

    How pest control works

  3. Fewer pesticides, on purpose

    Whitco's methods are environmentally friendly and built to minimise pesticide use. Less product where the pest is not is part of the plan, not a bonus.

    “All of their products are pet friendly.”

    Hyatt Team, Google

  4. A plan to clear it, and a plan to keep it away

    Every job starts with an inspection. Then comes the plan to eradicate what is there and the maintenance options and tips that stop it coming back: one-time, monthly or quarterly for pests, yearly inspections after termite treatment.

    “If you see anything a week after they sprayed, I called and they came back out.”

    Christie Bryant, from Whitco's reviews page

  5. A live person, in six places

    “We called Whitco's Creedmoor office and Kenny Harp was sent to take care of the problem.”

Three stops on a quarterly round

Along the foundation, at the footing and under the floor, with what the tech looks for at each.

A tamper-resistant bait station set in pine straw against a brick foundation, a wooden deck and pines beyond

Dried mud tubes running up a block foundation above an opened treatment trench in red clay
