As a family-owned pest control company serving North Carolina for over 40 years, we’re proud to offer eco-friendly pest control solutions that are safe for your family, pets, and the planet.

What Does Eco-Friendly Pest Control Mean?
Eco-friendly pest control focuses on minimizing environmental impact while still effectively managing pests. This includes:
- Applying treatments strategically and precisely to reduce overuse
- Incorporating Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques
- Educating homeowners on prevention and habitat modification
At Economy Exterminators, we tailor every treatment plan to your home’s needs—balancing effectiveness with environmental responsibility.
Eco-Friendly Pest Control Tips You Can Use
Here are some simple, sustainable ways to help keep pests away—while keeping your home and the environment safe:
1. Seal Entry Points
Use caulk or weather stripping to seal cracks, gaps, and holes around windows, doors, and foundations. This reduces the need for chemical treatments by keeping pests out in the first place.
2. Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes breed in even the smallest amounts of water. Regularly empty birdbaths, plant saucers, and clogged gutters to reduce mosquito populations naturally. Other pests thrive and breed in high-moisture environments. This can be in a damp crawl space, walls from a recent water leak, and the roof from damaged shingles. Eliminating moisture helps eliminate pests.
3. Keep a Clean Kitchen
Ants and cockroaches are drawn to food crumbs and spills. Wipe down counters, sweep floors, and store food in airtight containers to make your home less inviting.
4. Maintain Your Yard
Trim back vegetation, remove leaf litter, clean gutters, and keep mulch/pine straw away from your foundation. Keep pine straw and mulch to three inches or less. This reduces harborage areas for pests like spiders, ants, roaches, and rodents.
