Pest Control Norfolk

We provide strong and effective pest control services for people in all parts of Norfolk, including the neighborhoods of Ghent, Larchmont, Ocean View, Park Place, Colonial Place, Berkley, and Fairmount Park.

Yes, our treatments are pet- and kid-friendly, and our Field Experts employ a safety-minded approach through all phases of the pest control process. We only use EPA-registered products and train our experts to follow label instructions to the letter.

We ask that children and pets be kept away from treated areas until re-entry is advised by your Field Expert. As a general guideline, outdoor treatments usually require about 30 minutes to dry (depending on the weather), and indoor treatments may require between 1 and 3 hours (depending on airflow in your home). If you keep pets in aquariums, terrariums, or bird cages, your Field Expert may recommend additional precautions.

In Norfolk, common pests include ants, cockroaches, termites, rodents, mosquitoes, and spiders. The city’s humid coastal climate creates ideal breeding grounds for moisture-loving insects like mosquitoes and termites, while dense urban housing allows ants, cockroaches, and other invasive insects to spread easily. Rodents thrive where food and shelter are easy to find, which is often the case in older neighborhoods with aging structures and mature landscaping. 

With all of the pest activity in Norfolk, year-round pest control is essential to help you feel comfortable in every corner of your home.

You can try doing pest control yourself with store-bought products but results are often temporary, and infestations may return quickly. Common Norfolk pests like termites, cockroaches, and rodents are surprisingly resilient. Controlling these pests requires advanced knowledge of where pests hide, how they spread, and how they got into your house in the first place. 

Eliminating these pests also requires products that can reach beyond the surface level and into those hidden areas where pests love to hide. Our Field Experts use professional treatments and customized plans to help protect your home year-round.

Absolutely. Norfolk and the Hampton Roads region have earned the unfortunate designation as a hot-spot of mosquito activity, and we are happy to help area homeowners find much-needed relief.

We attack mosquitos on two fronts: Our monthly fogging treatments attack active swarms, while our discreet In2Care Stations target mosquitoes while they are still in the larval stage. 

This combination of tactics helps us provide both immediate relief and long-term reduction of mosquito populations. To help keep your yard comfortable throughout the season, our Field Experts will service your In2Care Stations every 21 to 30 days.

Our Field Experts are trained to take on numerous cockroach species, including the American, German, and Brown-banded cockroaches, all common to this part of Virginia. German cockroaches often infest kitchens and bathrooms in search of food and water, while American cockroaches typically prefer damp basements and crawl spaces. Brown-banded cockroaches thrive in drier, warmer areas and are often found in upper cabinets and near electronics. With expert precision, we identify the species, uncover nesting zones, and deliver strategic treatments designed to stop breeding and keep future infestations from taking hold.

Norfolk’s humid subtropical climate, typical of the Mid-Atlantic region, creates ideal conditions for pests to thrive. Warm temperatures speed up insect life cycles, leading to rapid growth of ant and termite colonies. High humidity and frequent rainfall provide moisture that supports cockroaches, earwigs, and silverfish, all of which prefer damp environments. Standing water also allows mosquitoes to breed quickly. 

Because these pests remain active much of the year, professional pest control is essential for maintaining a more comfortable home environment and reducing the stress that comes with pest activity.

In spring, ants and termites surge as warmer weather speeds up their breeding and foraging cycles. Summer’s heat and humidity create ideal conditions for mosquitoes to breed in standing water, while wasps and flies thrive around outdoor gatherings. Fall in Norfolk brings cooler nights, drawing rodents and cockroaches indoors in search of warmth and steady food sources. Winter doesn’t end pest problems, as spiders and rodents often dig deeper into homes for shelter. 

Year-round professional pest control from Moxie helps keep your home protected no matter the season.

It’s common to notice more pests right after your first treatment, but don’t worry: that’s proof that the products are doing their job. The initial treatment disrupts nesting areas and hiding spots, which can flush pests into the open. Although it may look like the issue is getting worse, this surge in activity is only temporary. Soon after, the treatment takes full effect, and you’ll see a sharp and lasting drop in pest activity. If pest problems should flare up between our scheduled visits, we’ve got you covered. Customers on our year-round plans receive free warranty reservice visits.
