For Virginians, especially those in the moisture-prone Tidewater area, Colonial Exterminating Co Inc offers a distinct, high-value proposition: true end-to-end home protection. Many local companies offer pest control, and many contractors offer repairs, but very few offer both with the depth of experience and specialization that Colonial provides.

They then complete the shield by installing state-of-the-art T A P insulation and comprehensive moisture control systems, preventing the conditions that caused the initial problem. This integrated service protects the home, saves the homeowner time, and ensures accountability from a single, trusted source.

Furthermore, their proficiency in working with real estate agents and providing official Wood Destroying Insect reports for property transactions makes them indispensable for anyone buying or selling a home in the region. In a market where structural integrity is a major concern, choosing Colonial Exterminating Co Inc means choosing a partner with over 50 years of demonstrated commitment to protecting and preserving the quality of Virginia homes.
