A Better Standard for Pest Control in the Outer Banks

First Light Pest Control was founded by lifelong friends Bruce Love and Alex Bowman, combining a shared commitment to service, science, and raising the standard of pest control across the Outer Banks. From oceanfront homes in Corolla to soundside properties in Nags Head and throughout the Outer Banks, we understand the unique pest pressures of coastal living.
