CritterGetters has provided pest control services in Apex since 2009. We’re licensed by the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (NC-PCO-7712), and every client gets the same assigned technician on every visit.
Apex’s explosive growth — from under 5,000 residents in 1990 to over 73,000 today — means much of its housing was built in wooded areas that were recently cleared. Displaced wildlife including rodents, squirrels, and raccoons commonly attempt to reenter homes. White Oak Creek and its tributaries run through western Apex, supporting consistent mosquito breeding.
Why Pest Pressure Is Elevated in Apex
Apex sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, with approximately 38 freeze days per year and 46 inches of annual rainfall. Apex’s median household income of $130,683 reflects a community with significant investment in residential property — making professional pest control a priority. The housing stock includes predominantly 2000s–2010s construction in communities like Haddon Hall, Bella Casa, and Olde Towne.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Apex
CritterGetters serves Apex city-wide, including Haddon Hall, Bella Casa, Olde Towne, Salem Village and all surrounding areas. We know Wake County’s pest patterns — the species, the seasonal timing, and the housing types that present the most vulnerability.
Common Pest Issues in Wake County
- Termites: New construction in Apex is required to have pre-treat termiticide application, but older parts of town and homes outside treated zones remain vulnerable. Apex’s clay soil retains moisture, which subterranean termites require to maintain their mud tube networks.
- Mosquitoes: White Oak Creek runs through central Apex, and numerous detention ponds in newer subdivisions serve as stagnant water sources after rain. Apex’s 46 inches of annual rainfall keeps the mosquito season running from April through October most years.
- Rodents: Rapid land development in Apex’s western corridors near US-64 and Highway 55 consistently displaces rodent populations into adjacent neighborhoods. Olde Towne Apex’s historic district has older commercial buildings with documented rodent activity.
