Clyde Leslie "Les" Smith founded Rid-A-Pest in 1972 in the garage behind his Wilson, NC, home after becoming one of North Carolina State University's (NCSU) first graduates the university's Urban and Industrial Pest Control program. As the son of a world-renowned entomologist and head of NCSU's Entomology Department, Les knew he wanted to pursue a career related to insects and management.
Rid A Pest's skilled exterminators provide both residential and commercial pest control services to Eastern and Coastal North Carolina. Our team uses the latest Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to provide a comprehensive pest control solution. We combine pest inspections, pest treatments, and preventative pest control to effectively get rid of your pest problem once and for all.
Pretty sure you have a pest problem. Our pest library will give you an idea of what you're facing before our team of experts confirm and treat your home or office. German cockroaches are one of the smaller species of cockroaches at to. This type of cockroach can easily be identified by its light brown color, the dark parallel lines running down its back, and the unpleasant odor it emits when startled or frightened.
We are proud to provide a range of moisture control solutions, including crawlspace encapsulation, to keep homes in Wilson, Greenville, Jacksonville, Raleigh and surrounding areas healthy, sanitary and pest-free. The EPA estimates that 60% of a home's first floor air travels through the crawlspace, a damp, humid area that is often a breeding ground for pests and more.
Rid-A-Pest has been partnering with Eastern and Coastal North Carolina's military bases, office complexes, warehouses, hotels, apartment complexes, condo buildings and other commercial and industrial facilities for more than 40 years. We understand that our commercial clients have unique pest control needs.

Rid A Pest is always on time. In 15+ years, they've never been late. Always polite & the staff is friendly. Since they have been treating my home I have never had any bugs or termites nor any other issue related to their services. And the mosquito treatment makes a positive difference in our back yard. We get that every year for summer. A+

After two disastrous experiences with other exterminators I was about to give up and live with the bugs. Called rid-a-pest 3 years ago and it’s been great, very professional staff and they go out of their way to do a great job .
