You keep your house clean. You don't leave food out. And somehow there's still an ant trail along the bathroom baseboard or a roach tucked under the kitchen sink.

Here's what most pest companies won't tell you: that spray along your foundation slows down new arrivals, but it doesn't touch the ones already nesting in wall voids, breeding under your dishwasher, hiding in the gaps where your plumbing enters the wall. It does nothing for termites working through your foundation or mosquitoes breeding in your yard.

That's why we built a plan that covers all of it. Inside and out, quarter after quarter.

What's Included in Your $85/Month Home Defense Plan

Quarterly Pest Control

Every 3 months, a technician walks through your home and assesses your entire living space. We check 25+ areas inside your home, then treat the interior and exterior. This service covers ants (including fire ants), roaches, spiders, earwigs, silverfish, crickets, centipedes, and similar household pests. The entire treatment takes about 30-45 minutes.

Termite Coverage

With Repair
Year-round termite monitoring and protection. If we find termite activity, treatment is included. If termites cause damage while you're covered, repair is included. Most homeowners don't think about termites until it costs them thousands at closing. This makes sure you never have to.

Mosquito Control

(6 Months)
Seasonal treatment that covers your full yard:vegetation, fence lines, under decks, around standing water - in order to successfully target g where mosquitoes tend to rest and breed. This service runs during peak season so your yard is yours again when it matters most.

Spider Control

Targeted treatment in the areas spiders like to set up. We check your closets, garages, eaves, crawl spaces, and undisturbed corners. This service is included in your quarterly visits, not billed as an add-on.

All of this. $85/month. Limited-time pricing for new customers.

How Your Home Defense Plan Works

Step 1 — We Inspect Before We Spray

Before anything gets treated, your technician walks through your home checking 25+ common harborage areas including ant trails, entry points, moisture sources, and anywhere pests are likely to nest. You get a treatment plan based on what's happening in your home. We don’t do generic checklists. Noticed something in a specific spot? Tell us. It shapes where we focus.

Step 2 — We Treat Inside and Out. 30-45 Minutes, Not 12.

Interior: baseboards, behind appliances, around plumbing penetrations, under sinks, along interior walls (every area pests actually use). Exterior: foundation, doorframes, window frames, common entry points. Termite monitoring gets checked. Mosquito treatment covers the yard during season. This takes 30-45 minutes. That's 3-4 times longer than the average pest control visit, and it's why it works.

Step 3 — Quarter After Quarter, Your Home Stays Protected

Populations rebuild. Seasons change. New pests show up. Your quarterly visits keep everything under control with re-treatment, reassessment, and adjustments based on what's happening at your property. Termite coverage runs year-round. Mosquito treatment covers peak season. If something comes up between visits, such as more activity, or a new pest, just give us a call or text. We will come back at no extra charge.

All of this. $85/month. Limited-time pricing for new customers.

Built By Home Builders Who Saw What Bad Pest Control Costs

Tony Hanson and Lucas Mudrey have spent 15 years buying, selling, and building homes across the Charlotte metro; from first-time buyer communities to custom lakefront properties. When you've been through thousands of real estate transactions, you see what happens when pest control gets ignored. Termite damage discovered at closing. Crawl spaces full of standing moisture. Quarterly pest plans where the technician never stepped foot inside the house.

They knew what good pest control should look like. They needed someone who knew how to deliver it.

That's Josh. He spent years running a local pest control operation in the Charlotte area where he knew every customer's dog by name, walked through every home, and didn't rush through 20 stops a day to hit a quota. Then the company got acquired by a larger corporate outfit. The visits got shorter. The call center replaced the local number. The personal touch disappeared. Josh walked away because he wasn't willing to do pest control that way.
Cornerstone is what happens when home builders who understand what's at stake team up with an operator who refuses to cut corners. The team brings over 50 years of combined pest control experience, and every technician holds North and South Carolina pesticide licensing.
We're active members of both the NC and SC Pest Control Associations. We're not a franchise. There's no regional headquarters. When you call, you reach someone who lives and works in the same neighborhoods you do.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Josh and all the cornerstone techs are so professional and friendly. They take the time to do a walk around and review your pest control needs and take great care during treatments.  I have found their mosquito treatment lasts much longer than the company I previously used. Highly recommend them!

~Elaine

Cannot say enough great things about this company!! Jeremy always goes above and beyond for us and even tolerates my madness of my refusal to live with any critter!!! We have them come every 3 months and will come in between if needed. No one else will ever come into my home for pest control! Thank you for being so fabulous!! 

~S. Kanouse

Cornerstone Home Defense is now my go to for quarterly pest prevention. Josh and the team are right back to that HOMETOWN feeling you get when you know that quality, not quantity is most important. I appreciate the attention to detail, professionalism, and listening to all our concerns for our service.

What Home Defense Done Right Can Feel Like

You stop thinking about pests. That's what this is really about.

No more discovering a roach when you open the cabinet at 6 AM. No more wondering if that spider in the corner means a bigger problem. No more scrambling to find someone when ants show up the week your in-laws visit. No more worrying about termites silently eating through your foundation. No more surrendering your backyard to mosquitoes every summer.

Every quarter, your technician shows up. You know they're coming because we told you a week ago and reminded you yesterday. They walk through, treat inside and out, check your termite monitoring, tell you what they found, and leave. Between visits, if something comes up, you text us and we handle it.

You don't manage this. You don't research this. You don't think about it. It's handled.

What You Won't Get From the Big National Chains

Founded by home builders, not a corporate franchise.

We didn't start a pest control company because we wanted to spray houses. We started it because we've spent 15 years building and selling them. We got tired of seeing what bad pest control does to homes and the families who live in them. We know where pests get in because we know how homes are built.

Every visit includes full interior treatment.

Most pest control visits are over in 12 minutes. The technician sprays the foundation, maybe hits the garage, and leaves. We walk through your entire home, check 25+ areas where pests like to nest, and treat inside and out in 30-45 minutes. That's not slow, that's thorough.

You call a person, not a call center.

Call or text us and you will reach someone local who knows your neighborhood, can answer your question, and get you on the schedule. No transfers, no hold music, no explaining your situation three times to three different people.

Between-visit callbacks at no extra charge.

If pests come back between your quarterly visits, call or text and we'll get it taken care of quickly. You don't have to wait until your next scheduled service or pay anything extra. We just come handle it.

Quarterly Pest Control

Common Questions About the Home Defense Plan

How much does this cost?

Our current new-customer rate is $85/month. That includes quarterly pest control with fire ants, termite coverage with repair, 6 months of mosquito control, and spider treatment. This is limited-time pricing.Reach out to lock it in.

What pests are covered?

The quarterly plan covers ants (including fire ants), roaches (American and Oriental), spiders, earwigs, silverfish, millipedes, centipedes, crickets, and similar household pests. German roaches, bed bugs, and wood-destroying insects require separate treatment, but termites are covered under the home defense bundle.

What does the termite coverage include?

Year-round termite monitoring and protection. If termite activity is found, treatment is included. If termites cause damage while you're covered, repair is included.

How long does a visit take?

30-45 minutes depending on your home's size and layout. Interior and exterior treatment, plus a walkthrough of your home takes more time than a foundation-only spray..

What if pests come back between visits?

Call or text. We come back and address it at no extra charge.

Is this safe for my pets?

Yes. Keep pets off treated areas for about 30 minutes while things dry. After that, they're good. Our technicians are careful with gates and will let you know before entering fenced areas.

Can I add other services later?

Yes. Bed bug treatment, rodent control, bat exclusion, crawl space moisture control, and other services can be added as needed. We'll talk through what makes sense for your situation.

Do I need to be home?

Yes, for the interior portion of treatment. We need access to treat the areas that matter most. If you can't be there, let us know in advance and we'll work something out.

How are you different from Orkin or Terminix?

We come inside your home and treat where pests actually nest; not just the perimeter. Our visits run 30-45 minutes, which is much longer than most big name pest companies.. When you call, you reach a local team, not a call center. We were founded by Charlotte home builders who spent 15 years seeing what bad pest control does to homes. We're locally owned, locally operated, and we don't rush.
