A Guide to Preventing Pests in West Jefferson, NC Homes


At KB's Pest & Termite Control, we want to help West Jefferson, NC homeowners create a less inviting environment for common pests. Most pests are looking for three things: food, water, and shelter. By limiting their access, you can significantly reduce your risk of an infestation.

  • Seal Potential Entry Points: Pests can enter through tiny cracks and openings. Regularly inspect the exterior of your West Jefferson, NC home for gaps around utility pipes, vents, and foundation cracks. Seal these with caulk or steel wool. Ensure weather stripping on doors and windows is intact.
  • Eliminate Moisture and Standing Water: Pests are drawn to water. Fix all leaky pipes and faucets promptly. Ensure your gutters are clean and downspouts direct water away from the foundation. Eliminate any standing water in your yard, as this is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
  • Maintain Smart Sanitation Practices In the House: Clean up crumbs and spills immediately. Store food (including pet food) in airtight containers. Take out the trash regularly and keep bins clean. Reduce clutter in basements, attics, and garages. Piles of boxes, paper, and clothing provide ideal hiding spots for pests like spiders and rodents.
  • Manage Your Landscape: Keep tree branches and shrubs trimmed back from your house, as these can act as bridges for pests like ants. Store firewood at least 20 feet away from your West Jefferson, NC home and off the ground. Firewood piles are a prime location for termites and other pests. Keep mulch beds a few inches away from your foundation.
  • Be Vigilant About What You Bring Inside: Check grocery bags, cardboard boxes from deliveries, and second-hand furniture for signs of pests like roaches or bed bugs before bringing them into your home.By following these proactive steps, you can make your West Jefferson, NC home a much less attractive target for pests. For complete protection, a professional preventative service plan from KB's Pest & Termite Control is your best defense.

West Jefferson, NC Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

West Jefferson was incorporated in 1909. At one time, West Jefferson had the distinction of having the only cheese factory in the southeastern United States. For many decades, West Jefferson was served by the Norfolk and Western Railroad, better known as the "Virginia Creeper". The railroad was the primary reason for the creation of West Jefferson, as the town became a major stop on the railway. With the decline of the railroad and the loss of textile factory jobs to foreign markets, West Jefferson's economy is increasingly devoted to the tourism industry. The town's location in the Appalachian Mountains has led to many tourists visiting the area each year, and many out-of-state tourists have begun to build cabins and housing developments around the town. Attractions include a walkable main street with food, breweries, local art, a cheese factory, a vintage theater, an annual festival, a caboose from a train, and a children's playground.
