Terminix Service Earns Best of WNC Hall of Fame for Pest Control

Western North Carolina Readers Cast Their Votes – Terminix Service, Inc. Is the Clear Choice for Best Pest Control

ASHEVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, August 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The results are in, and Western North Carolina has spoken. Mountain Xpress readers have named Terminix Service, Inc. First Place in the Pest Control Service category under the Professional & Home Services section of the annual Best of WNC readers' poll – and with that recognition comes Hall of Fame status, a distinction earned through consecutive first-place wins chosen entirely by the community.

This is not an award decided by a panel or a judging committee. It is decided by the homeowners, neighbors, and families across Western North Carolina who have experienced the service firsthand and taken the time to say so. That makes it one of the most meaningful forms of recognition a local business can receive.

"This honor belongs to our team and to the customers who trust us to protect their homes," said Scott Fortson, President of Terminix Service, Inc. "Western North Carolina is a community we genuinely care about. When the people who live and work here vote for you as their best, that means something. We do not take that trust lightly, and we show up every day to earn it."

Western North Carolina's mountain climate creates year-round pest challenges that homeowners here know well – from termites working quietly through home structures to mosquitoes taking over outdoor spaces in warmer months. When residents across Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, Brevard, and communities throughout the mountains needed help, they called Terminix Service, Inc. And when Mountain Xpress asked them to vote for the best, they did that too.

Terminix Service, Inc. is a locally owned and operated family business founded in 1947, with 56 branches across South Carolina, western North Carolina, and CSRA Georgia serving more than 200,000 customers. The company has long been recognized among the top pest control providers in the country – but it is the recognition that comes directly from the people they serve that carries the most weight.

The Mountain Xpress Best of WNC readers' poll has been a trusted community tradition in the Asheville area for years, shining a light on the local businesses that Western North Carolina residents rely on and return to. Earning First Place – and now Hall of Fame status – in the Pest Control Service category is a reflection of the relationships Terminix Service, Inc. has built one home, one customer, and one service call at a time.
