There are a number of factors that may differentiate pest control companies from one another. Following are some general guidelines for choosing a pest control company:
-Look for a reputable company with representatives knowledgeable about pest and/or termite habits, types of construction, treatment specifications and state regulations.
-Ask friends and associates to recommend companies they have used.
-Look for memberships in industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) that provide ethical guidelines and technical information.
-Find out if continued coverage is offered that includes treatment for reinfestation and repairs for future damage and ask if it is renewable.
-Be certain the company is licensed by your state's regulatory agency.

The eastern end of North Carolina juts out from the East Coast of the United States into the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, making the state prone to Atlantic hurricanes, which tend to strike the state every three to four years. Running along the entire coast of North Carolina, serving as a buffer against the Atlantic, is a long chain of barrier islands (the Outer Banks), with constantly shifting sand dunes, from which project three famous capes—Hatteras, Lookout, and Fear. Between the islands and the shoreline stretch lagoons—Albemarle Sound and Pamlico Sound are the largest—that receive the Chowan, Roanoke, Tar, Neuse, and Cape Fear rivers. Wilmington, the chief port, is at the head of the Cape Fear estuary. The mainland bordering the sounds is low, flat tidewater country, often swampy, even beyond the Dismal Swamp in the north. In the upper coastal plain the land rises gradually from the tidewater, reaching 500 ft (152 m) at the fall line.
