What to know about pest control in West Virginia
West Virginia's forests and hills bring pests into close contact with homes. Ticks and mosquitoes carry the biggest health concerns, while stink bugs and carpenter bees are common nuisances around the house.
Common pests in West Virginia
West Virginia University Extension and state health officials describe these pests as common concerns for West Virginia homes.
- Blacklegged ticks. Lyme disease is by far the most reported tickborne disease in West Virginia, and the state health department says every county has reported human tickborne illness. Learn more on our ticks and fleas page.
- Mosquitoes. La Crosse encephalitis is spread in West Virginia by the treehole mosquito, the Asian tiger mosquito and the Asian rockpool mosquito. These mosquitoes lay eggs in tree holes and in containers that hold water.
- Brown marmorated stink bugs. WVU Extension says these bugs become a nuisance when they move into buildings to spend the winter. They do not damage the house or breed inside, and sealing gaps is the main defense.
- Carpenter bees. WVU Extension says the common carpenter bee is the most widespread and troublesome carpenter bee in the state. Painting or varnishing bare wood helps prevent new nests.
Who licenses pest control companies in West Virginia
The West Virginia Department of Agriculture licenses pest control through its Pesticide Regulatory Programs. Its pesticide licenses page lists the commercial applicator license for technicians and the Licensed Pesticide Application Business license for companies that apply pesticides for hire.
How to check a company before you hire
- Ask for the company's pesticide application business license and the commercial applicator license of the technician who will treat your home.
- Contact the department's pesticide programs to confirm both are current.
- Ask which pest was found and how the treatment works.
- Get the treatment plan and any warranty in writing, including what happens if the pest returns.
- Read reviews from other West Virginia customers. Our page on how reviews work explains how we moderate them.
