Our services include the management of household pests, including roaches, rats, and more. Let's face it, there are few among us who enjoy bugs. Unwanted pests in the home are not only creepy, they can also spread disease and cause significant damage to the structural integrity of your residential or commercial property.
And often, the tell tale signs that your home has been infiltrated are not abundantly visible in the early stages. You may notice a few stray bugs here and there, and think nothing of it. However, the most important thing you can do in this situation, is enlist professional help at the first sign of infestation.
The professionals at Killo Exterminating Co., Inc have over seventy years of experience in pest control and throughout the years we have always prided ourselves on maintaining the highest standard of quality. Our top priority is ensuring your home is free from pests and restored to optimal condition.

The Killo Exterminating Company, Inc. is a third-generation locally-owned and operated family pest control company that was started in 1939 when Walter Killough, who had been working for several years with a national pest control company, started his own pest control business in Raleigh, N.C. In 1948 Walter and his brother Arnold Killough bought a one-man pest control company in Charlotte, N.C.
North Carolina is home to an enormous variety of pests. To some degree, this speaks to how pleasant North Carolina's climate is, and how immersed in nature the state is, though many of these pests can be harmful to a person's health. It is all too often the case that when a homeowner or business owner witnesses pests on their property, they dismiss the issue until it reaches the level of infestation.
When your property is infested with any kind of undesired insect or pest, you need professional help fast. Our exterminators know how to thoroughly and effectively eliminate these intruders. Those who are considering exterminating their property themselves should be aware that our extermination service is comprehensive so that you don't have to worry about the places you can't see or are likely to miss.
Ants are among the most industrious and hard-working insects in the natural world. An individual ant can reportedly lift up to 50 times its own body weight and if you've ever seen an ant colony up close, you know that they reproduce quickly. For every ant you do see, there are hundreds or even thousands more you don't see.
In small numbers, the presence of mosquitoes may barely seem noticeable. However, as mosquito populations in a region grow, they can quickly go from unnoticeable, to mildly irritating, until they ultimately become completely overwhelming. Residents of Charlotte, NC enjoy the outdoors, especially during the summer months, and nothing can ruin a backyard barbecue or an afternoon relaxing on one's deck like an abundance of mosquitoes.

First time using Killo. Santiago showed up early, was super professional, knowledgeable, courteous and loved my 120lb dog. Santiago is very passionate about his job and was very informative! We felt super comfortable having him in our home! Great service! We'll be customers for many years to come. I told him next visit, I'd have BBQ ready for him. 👍

We had a Wasp infestation in our house. They could not send anyone immediately but the lady who answered the phone explained the problem to me and put us all at ease. I will use this company again. They were very knowledgeable and helpful!

I used kilo for a about 1 year not really thinking about the lack of service , as I was focused on a bug problem within the home, in which I paid quarterly for and even though the bugs still found away to get in, they did not stay alive long. But when it came to mice control and field rats, we were asked " do you want some sticky boards to put down to trap the rat/mice with?" I thought that was what my service tech was suppose to do and what I was paying the technician for.
I should have thought better of this on the very first visit when I asked him to check in the attic, and he asked

I learned of Killo way back in the mid-80s when I was house sitting for my Grandmom. She had a contract w/ them.
So, fast forward to a couple of years ago...
Our home was being invaded by a ton of little ants in the kitchen and master bath.
Since Killo has been treating the outside of out home...NO ANTS!!!!!

Santiago did an exceptional job, was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We recently discovered we had a mouse in the house. My family has trusted Killo for over 44 years, and I did not know they treated for mice. Santiago shared his knowledge and pointed out possible points of entry so my husband could seal off those areas. He also did a perimeter spray for insects, especially fleas since we have cats. I highly recommend Killo and would not trust anyone else for all of our pest and insect control!

Super professional, honest, reliable and trustworthy.
They have sprayed for ground bees at my house that I had attempted to get rid of for many seasons - now gone after 1 application.
They also do work for my clients' homes to prevent carpenter bees from chewing holes in custom cedar doors and trim work in the spring time.
I know the owner to be as honest as they come. I've seen him pay for termite repairs on contracts he had from 25-30 years ago and they don't avoid phone calls. Really enjoy working with Killo.

I hate to do this after such a great first experience, but after hiring Killo for quarterly visits (which got me a discount), my usual guy left, and the customer service has gone downhill.
When the new guy took over, he totally forgot my first visit. He was supposed to be here between 8:00 and 8:30, and when I finally called, the receptionist informed me they were all in a staff meeting, and he'd have to reschedule; I got a pretty snooty apology from her. Good thing I took off work for that. Grrrr. To his credit, he did show up with a $5 Starbucks gift card as an apology.
