Pest Control
Our pest control services eliminate infestations of ants, rodents, spiders, and other pests. Using advanced methods, we target problem areas like crawl spaces and attics while implementing prevention strategies. Services include one-time treatments and ongoing maintenance plans tailored to your homes needs, ensuring long-term protection against common Hampton Roads pests.
Termite Treatments
We specialize in termite inspections, treatments, and prevention strategies. Our licensed technicians identify active infestations and moisture conditions that attract termites. Treatment plans combine targeted chemical barriers and structural repairs to stop damage and prevent recurrence, protecting your homes structural integrity and value.
Moisture Control
Our moisture control services address water intrusion risks through crawl space encapsulation, French drain installation, and dehumidifier systems. By sealing vulnerable areas and redirecting groundwater, we prevent mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations caused by excess moisture in basements and crawl spaces.
Structural Repairs
We repair damage from pests and moisture issues, including foundation cracks, weakened floor joists, and damaged insulation. Our Class A contracting license enables us to perform comprehensive repairs for crawl spaces, attics, and structural components, restoring your homes safety and functionality after pest-related damage.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
This service involves installing vapor barriers, drainage systems, and insulation to seal crawl spaces from moisture and pests. The process prevents mold growth, improves indoor air quality, and protects against energy loss while creating a barrier against termites and rodents in vulnerable foundation areas.

As a Realtor in Hampton Roads, I have worked with multiple termite & moisture inspectors and companies, and I have to say that Priority Pest is outstanding. Ted Yager is my go-to guy! He is easy to schedule, he arrives on time and he is extremely knowledgeable. I trust him and Priority Pest with my personal home, and I recommend them to clients, friends, and family. They just inspected my Mom's VB home, and she raved about them.

Report
Had them do an inspection. They informed me that they had previously treated for termites in 2011 (11 years ago). The tech told.me that he was impressed with the cleanliness of our crawl space and that there wasn't any issues. Later got an invoice for $1800 for "recommended treatment". Had a second company come out. The gave the all clear and let us know that there was no treent needed. Use someone else for your inspection. Priority will try to con you into paying for unnecessary treatment.

We have lived here for almost 3 years now, and I can say that Priority has been by far the best experience we have had with any services we've needed, and buying a home that needed much done that is saying a lot. Thank you to Scott are sales person and the 3 young guys that did the work everyone was professional and courteous. We will definitely use them again for other projects that arise. Thank you!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Excellent customer service! I recently had two projects performed at my mother's home (crawl space and floor repair work). I worked with Adam and his team (Brian, Anthony, Chris, Chance and others). They arrived on time and prepared both times. They were very professional, friendly, respectful and did an awesome job!
