Cape Fear Exterminators

Cape Fear Exterminators holds structural pest control licence no. 2228PW from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS), Structural Pest Control and Pesticides Division. Shown as RENEWED on the NCDA&CS Structural Pest Control licence search, export dated 1 Sep 2026, with the licence expiry recorded as 30 Jun 2027. NCDA&CS also holds an insurance expiry against this licence, recorded as 19 Nov 2026, which runs out before the 30 Jun 2027 licence expiry; the register keeps INACTIVE UNINSURED and INSURANCE EXPIRED as statuses of their own, separate from NEW and RENEWED.

NCDA&CS writes the phase letters into the licence number itself, so 2228PW is licence 2228 certified for P (structural pest control) and W (wood-destroying organisms including termites). Phase W is North Carolina's wood-destroying organism phase, which is what covers termite inspection and treatment and the WDIR Form 100 report a lender asks for at closing. Across Wilmington, NC, 38 of 49 businesses (78%) hold phase W.
