Scholarship
Hi, we are City Wide Exterminating located in Locust, North Carolina. This year, we are thrilled to announce the fourth annual Steven R. Smith Memorial Scholarship to honor an outstanding public servant of our community, both in and out of uniform. In 2020, Steven passed away unexpectedly from a severe heart attack, leaving a very large hole in both our City Wide family and the community of Locust. Steven served as chief of police in Locust and dedicated his career to protecting the public with an enormous sense of character and concern for others above himself. Because Steven made such an impact, along with his family, City Wide would like to honor him by awarding this scholarship to a student who displays a commitment to unwavering character and excellence in the community. The Steven R. Smith Memorial Scholarship is for the 2025 fall semester and will be paid directly to the winning candidate’s chosen school for tuition.

"They have always gone above and beyond for us!"
My mom started using City Wide over 20 years ago so when we bought a house, they came just to do a sort of maintenance to keep bugs from coming. We have never had an issue and City Wide is a big part of that.
