Our story

We Treat Your Home Like Family

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.

  • Full treatment: inside, outside, crawl space and attic
  • Home inspection know-how, with drone roof inspections by FAA-certified pilots

Why Advanced

What Makes Advanced Different

01

We don’t just spray the perimeter

We treat the inside, outside, crawl space and attic on every visit, because pests don’t stop at the front door.

02

Roots in home inspection

We spot what other companies miss, like moisture problems and the entry points that draw pests in to begin with.

03

Same-day or next-day service

Call today and we can often be at your home today or tomorrow.

04

A real person answers

A real person answers the phone, and we always call you back.
