Specialized Services for Claremont Residents and Businesses
1. Wood-Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR)
If you're buying, selling, or refinancing a property in Claremont, you'll likely need a Wood-Destroying Insect Report. Rid-A-Bug is fully licensed to perform these important inspections in North Carolina. Our WDIR-accredited inspectors provide accurate, honest reports that identify any evidence of wood-destroying insects including:
- Subterranean termites
- Powder post beetles
- Old house borers
- Carpenter ants
- Carpenter bees
These comprehensive reports fulfill all requirements for real estate transactions and provide valuable peace of mind for buyers and sellers. The WDIR includes detailed information about visible wood-destroying insects and evidence observed during inspection, as well as noting any areas particularly favorable for subterranean termites.
2. Crawl Space Encapsulation
Many Claremont homes have crawl spaces that can become breeding grounds for pests while contributing to moisture problems and energy inefficiency. Our crawl space encapsulation service offers multiple benefits:
- Improved energy efficiency (saving up to 18% on heating and cooling costs)
- Better indoor air quality for your family
- Reduced conditions that attract pests and insects
- Decreased moisture and risk of mold, mildew, and wood rot
This long-term solution not only helps keep pests out but also contributes to a healthier, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient home. The encapsulation process seals your crawl space from outside influences, creating a dry environment that's inhospitable to pests and prevents the stack effect that can draw crawl space air into your living spaces.
3. Insulation Services
In addition to our pest control services, Rid-A-Bug offers Thermal, Acoustical, and Pest Control (TAP) insulation installation for attics and crawlspaces in Claremont homes and businesses. This innovative insulation provides multiple benefits:
- Effective pest control through treated materials
- Reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills
- Superior sound absorption properties
- Moisture control and reduced risk of organic growth
- Fire resistance for added safety
- Improved indoor comfort year-round
This environmentally-friendly insulation helps prevent pests from entering your property while simultaneously improving energy efficiency—a win-win for Claremont property owners.
4. Wildlife Management
Claremont's mix of developed areas and natural spaces means wildlife encounters are common. When these animals find their way into your home or business, they can cause significant damage and health concerns. Our NC Wildlife Damage Control Agent is trained in the humane removal of unwanted wildlife including:
- Squirrels that can damage attics and wiring
- Raccoons that may carry diseases
- Rodents and mice that contaminate food and spread disease
- Bats that require specialized removal techniques
- Snakes that may frighten homeowners or employees
- Opossums that seek shelter in crawl spaces and outbuildings
- Foxes that may den near homes or businesses
We respond quickly to wildlife emergencies, providing humane removal and implementing preventative measures to keep wildlife where it belongs—outside your property.
