Pest Control You Can Trust in Chesapeake, VA
Chesapeake is the largest city by land area in Hampton Roads, and Commonwealth Pest Control serves every corner of it — from the historic canal homes of Great Bridge and the suburban developments of Greenbrier and Western Branch, to the rural farms and wooded lots of Deep Creek, Hickory, and the Northwest River corridor. Since 1999, our Termidor Certified and IPM-trained technicians have treated Chesapeake homes and businesses across all 353 square miles of the city.
Chesapeake's proximity to the Great Dismal Swamp, its extensive canal and creek network, and its mix of new-construction subdivisions with older rural properties produce a range of pest pressures that require a tailored approach. We know the difference between what a Greenbrier townhome needs and what a Northwest River farmhouse needs — and we treat each accordingly.

Common Pests in Chesapeake
Chesapeake's geography drives its pest problems. These are the ones our technicians treat most often across the city:
- Mosquitoes & biting midges — The Great Dismal Swamp and Chesapeake's dense canal network give mosquitoes and biting midges (no-see-ums) enormous breeding habitat. Residents in Deep Creek, Hickory, and Northwest River see the heaviest pressure, but even Greenbrier and Western Branch subdivisions feel it. Our barrier mosquito treatments target both adult resting sites and standing-water breeding zones.
- Termites — Older Great Bridge homes and rural Chesapeake farmhouses are prime targets for Eastern Subterranean termites, and the city's high water table keeps soil moisture at levels termites thrive in. We provide Termidor Certified termite treatment and annual inspections.
- Ants — Carpenter ants show up in Chesapeake's wooded lots and moisture-damaged wood; sugar ants swarm suburban kitchens in Greenbrier and Butts Station. Our ant control identifies the species and targets the colony, not just the trail you see.
- Roaches — Older Chesapeake homes and commercial kitchens across South Norfolk and Deep Creek deal with German and American roach infestations. Our cockroach control uses gel baits and IGRs to break the reproductive cycle.
- Rodents — Rural Chesapeake attracts field mice and Norway rats; suburban attics see roof rats. Our rodent control pairs trapping with exclusion so the population doesn't rebound.
- Moisture, mold & wood damage — Chesapeake's high water table means crawlspaces stay damp year-round. We handle moisture control, mold and fungus treatment, and structural repair — one crew, one call.
