Found small mud tubes on your foundation? Noticed sagging floors or hollow-sounding wood? Termites eat away at your home every day, and they do it quietly. River Pest LLC finds the colony, treats it, and protects your New Bern home so termites do not come back.
Termite treatment means finding the colony, killing it off, and setting up a barrier so new termites cannot move in. Termites work slowly and stay hidden, so most homeowners never see them until the damage shows. By then, they may have chewed through floor joists, wall studs, or door frames for months.
New Bern sits between the Neuse and Trent rivers, with sandy soil and warm, wet weather most of the year. That mix draws subterranean termites right up to your foundation. Older homes near downtown New Bern and Tryon Palace face extra risk, since wood framing and crawl spaces give termites easy access.
Our team inspects your home, finds where termites feed, and treats the colony at the source. We do not just spray and leave. We build a barrier around your home so termites stay out for good.
You need termite treatment the moment you spot mud tubes, discarded wings, or wood that sounds hollow when you tap it. Termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage across the country each year, and Eastern NC homes sit right in their path. Here is what our techs run into most in Craven County homes:

We handle both subterranean and drywood termites, using treatment methods built for your home and your budget.
Every job starts with a full inspection. We check your foundation, crawl space, attic, and any wood touching soil. We look for mud tubes, live termites, and old damage, then walk you through exactly what we find.
We apply EPA-registered termiticide to the soil around your home. This builds a barrier that kills termites on contact and keeps new ones from crossing into your house. It works well against subterranean termite colonies.
We place bait stations around your property as a second layer of protection. Termites feed on the bait and carry it back to the colony, which helps knock down the whole nest over time. We check the stations on a set schedule.
Drywood termites nest inside wood without ever touching soil, so they need a different approach. We treat the wood directly and target the nest, not just the surface damage.
Termite treatment is not a one-time fix. We check your monitoring stations and reinspect them on a schedule so we can catch new activity before it turns into real damage.
Local families call us back because we fix the problem and keep it fixed.
DIY termite treatment almost never reaches the whole colony, and that gap ends up costing homeowners far more than a professional job. Store shelves sell termite sprays and stakes, and we get why folks want to try it first. Here is what we see when that route falls short.
How we Work
We keep the process simple, from your first call to your last inspection. Termite damage adds up fast the longer it sits, so we move quickly once you call.
Tell us what you found, and we set a time to inspect. Most New Bern homes get seen the same day or the next.
We check the foundation, crawl space, attic, and any wood near soil to find active termite activity.
You see exactly what we found and what treatment we recommend, with the price laid out before we start.
Depending on the termite type, we apply liquid termiticide to the soil, place bait stations, or treat the wood directly.
We schedule follow-up checks so we catch new termite activity early, before it turns into real structural damage.

FAQs
Most termite treatments in North Carolina run between $850 and $2,100, depending on the home size and termite type. We give you a real number after inspection.

Yes. We use EPA-registered products and apply them the way the label directs, so your home stays safe once the treatment sets.
Subterranean termites build mud tubes and need soil contact. Drywood termites nest right inside wood, with no mud tubes at all. Our inspection tells you which one you have.
Once a year works for most homes, though older homes near the rivers may need a closer eye. Buying or selling a home usually calls for a fresh inspection too.
New termites can try, which is why we set up bait stations and follow-up checks. That ongoing layer is what keeps your home protected long-term.
We find the colony, treat it, and set up protection so termites do not come back. Termite damage only gets worse the longer it sits, so waiting costs you more than calling. River Pest LLC will handle your termite treatment in New Bern, NC, the right way.
