Pest Control in Hendersonville, NC

About Hendersonville

Hendersonville is the seat of Henderson County and the largest town south of Asheville, about 20 miles down I-26. It is apple country — the orchards around the town are some of the oldest in the mountains — and the town keeps a small-town feel even as it grows. The housing runs from historic homes near downtown to newer subdivisions on the edges, and the orchard land at the town edge meets the yards where field pests cross into gardens.

With about 15,995 residents, Hendersonville is the second-largest community in the Asheville metro, and its pest map is the metro's map with a farm edge: subterranean termites in the soil, mosquitoes after rain, fire ants in the open ground, and the field insects — stink bugs, crickets, earwigs — that move in from the orchards and the fields in autumn.

The pests Hendersonville sees most

The orchard edge is what sets Hendersonville apart. Stink bugs and crickets move in from the fields in autumn, and the open ground breeds fire ants through the summer. The older homes near downtown carry the same risks as Asheville's older stock — carpenter ants in moisture-damaged wood, palmetto bugs after heavy rain, and mice moving indoors in autumn. The flat land holds water after rain, so mosquito breeding sites are common in low lawn spots and drainage ditches.

Signs to look for in Hendersonville

Stink bugs clustering on the sunny side of the house in autumn, fire ant mounds in the open lawn, and mosquitoes from the low spots after rain are the Hendersonville regulars. In the older homes near downtown, look for the same signs as anywhere in the metro: mud tubes on the foundation, sawdust under window frames, and droppings behind the stove.

Hendersonville and the towns around it

Hendersonville's downtown is built around Main Street, and the town sits on the plateau south of Asheville between the Blue Ridge to the east and the mountains to the west. The orchards that ring the town are the working landscape here, and the houses that back onto them meet the field pests first. The town is also the gateway to the southern part of the metro — Fletcher and Mills River to the north, Etowah to the west.
