Easily Book Pest Control in Raleigh, NC

Named after Sir Walter Raleigh, who established the lost Roanoke Colony, Raleigh is one of the first planned cities in the country. Covering about 142 square miles, Raleigh's population is approaching 500,000.

Known for affordability, beautiful weather, and a wonderful community feel, there's so much to love about the City of Oaks. Following the end of the American Revolution, Raleigh was incorporated in 1792. With steady growth for the following decades, the end of the Civil War brought a great deal of economic and social struggle to the region. It wasn't until the Research Triangle was established in 1959 that the area began to prosper again. ABB, Capitol Broadcasting Company, and Kerr Drug brought tens of thousands of new jobs, making the Triangle one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. Raleigh's neighborhoods began to evolve as well.

Downtown blends the city's history with modern conveniences. One of the neighborhood's biggest attractions is City Market. The cobblestone streets are lined with open-air dining and shopping. Enjoy a Southern breakfast at Big Ed's, or sip an evening cocktail at Apero. Fayetteville Street is one of the busiest spots in Raleigh. This main thoroughfare features restaurants, bars, and galleries. On a summer Wednesday, stop by the Downtown Farmers Market and stock up on fresh produce and artisan foods. And come back on the weekend for a night out with your friends.

The Foundation, built by local craftsmen using local materials, is a great place for a craft drink any day. The mix of old and new emphasizes Raleigh's southern charm and modernity. For a unique dining experience, you'll want to head over to one of Raleigh's renowned food halls. Morgan Street Food Hall and Transfer Co. Food Hall are both housed in repurposed warehouses and offer a variety of local eats. Perhaps one of the most charming spots in Raleigh is Pullen Park. The iconic carousel, built in 1900 contains hand-carved animals and sleighs, as well as gilded mirrors and canvases. The music accompanying your ride emanates from a 1924 band organ.

While in Pullen Park, you can catch a community performance at the Theatre in the Park. And if you're looking for something more hands-on, Pullen Arts Center offers programs for both kids and adults. Passing through Pullen Park is the East Coast Greenway, which ultimately connects Maine to Florida. If you enjoy biking or hiking, William B. Umstead State Park is the place for you. Centered around a beautiful lake, Umstead offers miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Enjoy the beautiful North Carolina sunshine and take in the fresh air.

With oak trees lining the city streets and towering tall over Raleigh homes, the beauty of nature is never far. But with invasive pests, your trees and home are both at risk.
