Chris MatthewsOwner and InterNACHI Master Inspector
Advanced Termite and Pest Control is a family-owned and operated business serving Eastern North Carolina, with more than 25 years in the industry. Chris Matthews founded it after growing up in the pest control business alongside his father at Orkin, and he built it on one simple belief: treat every customer like family. From our family to yours, we bring southern hospitality, honest communication and thorough service to every home we protect.
Chris grew up working in home maintenance and remodeling, then started his pest control career in 1992. He was a branch manager by 1998 and started his own company in 2000. Later he took a job as a home inspector associate, became a licensed home inspector in 2006 and went on to become an InterNACHI Master Inspector. That’s why our pest control team looks at your home with a home inspector’s eyes.
We treat the inside, outside, crawl space and attic on every visit, because pests don’t stop at the front door.
We spot what other companies miss, like moisture problems and the entry points that draw pests in to begin with.
Call today and we can often be at your home today or tomorrow.
A real person answers the phone, and we always call you back.

Chris owns Advanced Termite and Pest Control and is an InterNACHI Master Inspector. He grew up working in home maintenance and remodeling and started his pest control career in 1992. By 1998 he was a branch manager, and in 2000 he started his own pest control business. He later worked as a home inspector associate, earned his license in 2006, and the rest is history.

Deana is our Office Manager and an integral partner in the company. She keeps the business organized and running smoothly, overseeing scheduling, billing and client communication, which makes life a lot easier for our busy home inspectors. Before taking the role, Deana had a successful career in the dental industry.

As Chris’s son, Landon shadowed home inspections when he was still a child and always wanted to do his part. He learned the ropes under his father’s careful instruction, and a few years later he earned his own license as a professional home inspector. Landon loves the work and finds it deeply satisfying to help families protect one of their biggest investments.

Waylon is part of our inspection team and has been a tremendous asset to the business and to every home buyer he’s helped. He’s as hands-on as possible when he inspects a home, and he takes his time to calmly and thoroughly explain what he finds, so clients feel at ease going into one of life’s most exciting, and most stressful, investments.

Chris personally sought Zach out, knowing he had the skills, work ethic and integrity our clients deserve. Zach has a strong background in construction maintenance and management, and he takes pride in detailed reports that help clients make informed decisions. Outside of work he’s a family man who cherishes his wife and young son and loves a day at the beach.
