Termites are one of the most serious threats a Dunn home can face, working out of sight until the damage is done, and that damage isn't covered by homeowners insurance. Dunn is a settled, established town, which means a lot of homes with the age, crawl spaces, and moisture that subterranean termites are drawn to. The good news is that the company best positioned to protect them is right here in town.
Holloman Exterminators is headquartered in Dunn and has protected this community since 1954. When it comes to termites, that means both the deepest local experience and the fastest response, from a company whose name is tied to the town it serves.
Seven Decades of Termite Protection in Dunn
We've been treating termites for Dunn families and businesses for more than 70 years, long enough to know this town's homes and how termites behave in them. That experience shows up in the inspection, where knowing the local housing stock and the common trouble spots helps us find activity others might miss. It also shows up in the trust, since many of the homes we protect have been our customers for decades.
Being the hometown company isn't just a slogan here. It's the reason we can respond quickly, stand behind our work, and give you a straight answer instead of a sales pitch.
Termites and Dunn's Established Homes
With a development moratorium keeping new construction limited, Dunn is a town of established homes, and established homes are exactly what subterranean termites like. They live in the soil and move up through foundation contact and crawl spaces, and the moisture in an older crawl space is a standing invitation. Aging construction also opens the gaps and cracks they exploit.
That's why regular inspection matters so much here. Termite damage builds unseen, and catching it early is far cheaper than repairing structural wood later.
Our Termite Inspection and Treatment
Every job begins with a thorough inspection of the crawl space, foundation, and known trouble spots, so we understand the situation before recommending anything. From there, we build a plan suited to your home, using a liquid barrier in the soil around the foundation, in-ground bait stations, or a combination of the two.
We explain your options in plain language and let you decide, with no pressure. You can read more about our approach on our termite control page.
Termite Bonds and Ongoing Protection
A termite bond is an agreement for ongoing termite protection, including regular inspections and a commitment to re-treat if activity appears. For an established home you plan to keep, it's steady peace of mind year after year. We offer it as flexible, renewable protection rather than the restrictive long-term contracts some companies require.
For households that want pest coverage too, our Advanced bundle pairs termite protection with quarterly pest control. See the details on our plans and bundles page.
WDI Reports for Real Estate
When homes change hands in Dunn, most purchases require a WDI (Wood Destroying Insect) report, often called a termite letter. We provide these inspections and reports for buyers, sellers, and lenders, and our Realtors page explains how it works. Contact us early so the report lines up with your closing.
Moisture and Crawl Spaces
Subterranean termites depend on moisture, and a damp crawl space under an older home is one of the biggest draws there is. Controlling it protects against both termites and the wood-destroying fungus that thrives in the same conditions. Encapsulation, a moisture barrier, and moisture control make a home far less inviting, and you can learn more on our crawl space encapsulation page.
Commercial Termite Protection in Dunn
Termites don't limit themselves to houses. Dunn's downtown storefronts, offices, and the businesses along the I-95 corridor all have structural wood worth protecting, and a termite problem in a commercial building can mean costly repairs and unwanted downtime. We handle termite inspections, treatment, and ongoing protection for commercial properties on a schedule that works around your operations, so the work never gets in the way of your business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does termite treatment cost in Dunn?
Cost depends on the home, the type of treatment, and the extent of any activity, so there's no single figure that fits every situation. Reach out and we'll give you a straightforward assessment for your home, with no pressure.
Are you really based in Dunn?
Yes. Our office is right here in Dunn, and the owners are in the business every day. That local presence is exactly why we can respond quickly and stand behind our termite work.
What is a termite bond?
It's an agreement for ongoing termite protection, with regular inspections and a re-treatment commitment. We keep ours flexible and renewable rather than locking you into a restrictive long-term contract.
How often should an established home be inspected?
An annual inspection is the standard recommendation, since termites can be active for a long time before signs appear. Older homes with crawl space moisture may benefit from closer monitoring.
