Pest Control in Fletcher, NC

About Fletcher

Fletcher sits about 12 miles south of Asheville in Henderson County, just north of Hendersonville and just south of Arden, on the I-26 corridor. It is a growing town of about 8,453 residents, close to Asheville Regional Airport, with Highway 25 as the main business route through town. The town has grown fast as Asheville has grown south, and the housing is mostly newer subdivisions mixed with older homes along the highway.

Fletcher's pest map is the southern metro's map: fire ants in the open ground, mosquitoes from the low spots after rain, and the field insects that move in from the farmland at the town edge in autumn. The newer subdivisions have fewer of the old-house risks, but the lots back onto woods and fields, so the yard pests meet the houses at the lot line — and the airport and the highway bring turnover and rentals with them.

The pests Fletcher sees most

Fletcher is a town in transition, and its pest map shows both halves. The newer subdivisions back onto woods and fields, so the yard pests meet the houses at the lot line: mosquitoes from the low lawn spots, ticks at the leaf litter border, fire ants in the open ground. The older homes along Highway 25 carry the other half — carpenter ants in moisture-damaged wood, palmetto bugs up out of the drains after heavy rain, and mice in the wall voids when autumn turns.

The airport and the highway add their own traffic. Rentals and hotels along the corridor bring the turnover pests with them, and the farmland at the town edge sends stink bugs and crickets in with the autumn. The provider who runs the Fletcher route reads the town in two parts — the new subdivisions and the old highway — because the pests arrive by different routes in each.

Signs to look for in Fletcher

In the subdivisions, the signs are the yard signs: fire ant mounds in the open lawn, mosquitoes from the low spots, ticks after time at the lot line. Along Highway 25, the signs are the house signs: sawdust under a window frame, a palmetto bug in the bathroom after rain, mud tubes on the foundation. The town has two maps, and the signs tell you which half of it you are in.

Fletcher and the towns around it

Fletcher is built around Highway 25 and the I-26 corridor, with the airport just to the north and Hendersonville just to the south. The town is the middle of the southern metro — Arden above it, Hendersonville below it — and the providers who run the southern routes run Fletcher on the same day. The farmland at the town edge is the working landscape here, and the houses that back onto it meet the field pests first.
