Newark, DE Termite & Pest Control Services

Newark, Delaware has a lot going for it. Great scenery. Great schools. Restaurants worth the drive. But there is one thing we can all agree we don’t love: pests.

Roaches under the sink. Ants in the kitchen cabinets. Termites in the sill plate. The exterminators at Green Pest Solutions can help you kick them out for good.

Termite Control in Newark, DE

Termites eat wood from the inside out. You often don’t see them for years.

Some home insurance will not pay for termite damage either. That is why we check first and treat early.

Signs of Termites

• Mud tubes. Thin dirt tunnels on your foundation or basement beams.
• Swarms. Winged termites flying indoors. Heaviest here from February to June.
• Dropped wings. Small piles of matching wings near windows, heaters, or chimneys.
• Hollow wood. Tap a baseboard or door frame. Damaged wood sounds papery.
• Damage you can see. Wood siding, window frames, steps, floors, or beams.

We Use Sentricon® with Always Active™

Our Sentricon® system starts protecting your home the day we install it. It wipes out the colony. Then it keeps working to stop the next one.

No tenting. No drilling holes every 12 inches around your house.

Our Pest Control Programs

All three plans cover 40+ pests with quarterly outside service. The difference is how much termite protection you get.

Termites are the #1 pest concern in Newark, so Complete is the plan most Newark homeowners pick. Compare all pest control programs.

Other Pests We Treat

Our plans protect against insects and rodents such as:

Mice and Rats

A mouse fits through a hole the size of a pencil. Traps alone won’t fix that.

Our rodent control removes the mice you have. We also seal small entry points so new ones can’t follow.

Ants

Spraying the trail kills the ants you see. The nest keeps going.

Our ant control uses bait that workers carry back to the colony. Carpenter ants need extra attention. They chew damp wood and often mean a moisture problem.

Stink Bugs

Stink bugs pile up on sunny walls in September and October. Then they slip inside to spend the winter.

Treat the outside in early fall, before they get in. That works far better than January. Once they are indoors, vacuum them instead of squashing them. See our stink bug service.

Cockroaches

Seeing a roach during the day is a bad sign. They are night bugs, so daytime means a big population nearby.

Our roach control uses bait, spray, and dust to reach the ones you can’t see.

Wasps, Hornets, and Bees

We remove nests and hives from walls, decks, soffits, and eaves. Carpenter bees drill into wood and can cause real damage while hornets, wasps and yellow jackets pose a real threat to your home. See our stinging insect service.

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are a smaller slice of local demand the past 16 months, but bed bug sightings are rapidly growing this summer as Newark, Delaware ranks fifth in our Delaware Bed Bug Report (2026). If you or your neighbors have experienced the rapid increase in these issues then you need to contact Green Pest Solutions for bed bug treatment.

Newark Pest Control FAQs

How much does a termite treatment cost in Newark?

Home size and level of infestation varies. That includes checking whether termites are active. A formal WDIR report for a home sale or refinance is a separate service, and we quote it up front.

Is it termites or carpenter ants?

Termites leave mud tubes and dropped wings. The damaged wood is packed with dirt. Carpenter ants leave sawdust and keep their tunnels clean and smooth. Both need attention, but the treatment is different. Know the differences.

Do I need fumigation for termites in Delaware?

Almost never. Tenting is for drywood termites, and those are not our local kind. Ours live in the soil, so we treat the ground and the structure instead. If someone quotes you a tent job here, get a second opinion from Green Pest Solutions.

What is Sentricon®?

It is a bait station system we install around your home. It starts working right away, kills the termite colony, and keeps guarding against new ones. No tenting and no drilling.

Do you cover all of New Castle County?

Yes, we cover all of Kent County and New Castle County, Delaware.

Can you come out today?

Often, yes. Same-day service is available in Newark when you call before 1 PM.
