Mosquito Control
Have you ever wondered if there is a way to treat for mosquitoes
without killing pollinators?
Meet In2Care!
The In2Care® Mosquito Station is made of durable plastic and uses water with an odor lure to attract egg-laying Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. Once inside, mosquitoes contact the specially treated gauze near the water surface and get contaminated with a larvicide and a fungus. We exploit the fact that Aedes and Culex like to divide their eggs over multiple sites; by letting them fly out of the Station whilst carrying larvicide on their legs. They transport the larvicide and contaminate several breeding sites around the Station.
Mosquito fogging, while effective in controlling mosquito populations, can have unintended consequences on other insects, including important pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Pollinators play a crucial role in our ecosystem by aiding in the process of pollination, which is essential for the reproduction of many plants.
To protect these valuable pollinators, it is important to consider alternative mosquito control methods that are less harmful to the environment. By choosing more eco-friendly options, we can strike a balance between controlling mosquito populations and preserving the well-being of our pollinators.

Termite Control
Termite Inspections: $75
Wood Destroying Insect Reports: $125
Termite control is essential for maintaining the integrity of a building structure. These tiny insects can cause significant damage if left unchecked, making it crucial to take proactive measures to prevent infestations. There are various methods of termite control available, including liquid, foam, or dry chemical treatments as well as baiting systems.
Regular inspections, proper maintenance, and timely interventions are key to effectively managing termite populations and safeguarding your property. Remember, early detection and swift action are the best strategies in the battle against termites.
We offer both liquid + bait stations for termite prevention.
Dehumidifier & Vapor Barrier
During the hot summer months of North Carolina, it’s vital to have a moisture barrier and dehumidifier. Prices may vary depending on size/square footage of crawlspace.
Please see our dehumidifier specs below.
AprilAire E070 70 Pint Dehumidifier
Professional-Grade Crawl Space Dehumidifier
The E070 removes up to 70 pints (9 gallons) of moisture from the air per day. This helps keep your crawl space's humidity in the ideal range of 40-60% relative humidity to reduce the proliferation of airborne viruses and create Healthy Air throughout your home.
Pricing:
Dehumidifier Installations starting at $1250; pricing varies greatly dependent on size/height of crawlspace

Honeybee Rescues
Honeybee colonies typically swarm in the springtime when they have outgrown their colony and they are searching for a new place to establish a hive. During this time, the queen bee leaves the original colony with a large group of worker bees in search of a suitable location.
Swarming is a natural process for honeybees to reproduce and expand their population. The swarm may cluster together temporarily while scout bees search for a new home, such as a hollow tree or abandoned structure. Sometimes they swarm to the inside of a home, floor, soffit, or inside brick structures. In 2023 alone, we performed over 35+ honeybee relocations. All of our cutouts performed include removal & full repair.
Starting in 2024, we offer a 5 year 100% warranty on all of our work.
If a different colony of honeybees are found in the same location as the cutout we performed - we will perform another cutout, at no additional cost.
We provide safe & humane honeybee relocations to
anywhere in the Triangle and Beyond

Customer Testimonials
“This company is the best! They take time to explain what they are doing, let you know about any concerns but don’t try to upsell. They even offered to hang my bat box for me! They focus on the outside of the home, and only spray inside the home if it’s needed. Highly recommended”
-Cindy S.
“I can’t say enough good things about Rise! We hired them for a commercial job as we felt our previous company wasn’t doing correct maintenance. We are so happy with the results and their service was amazing! They were able to find solutions and are also going to be working with us for preventive care on a weekly basis.”
-Erika A.
“We recently bought a new construction home and have been noticing a massive amount of spiders so I reached to Rise Pest Management and they got back to me immediately and were at our house within a few days to spray. Stephen, the owner was very professional and listened to all my concerns. He explained the process and his follow up protocol. I appreciate Stephen and his team for being prompt and getting the job done! I will definitely be using him for future pest control needs!”
