How do I get rid of moles?

The eastern mole is quite a nuisance here in Middle Tennessee.  This 8-9 inch creature rarely sees the light of day, can eat it's body weight in earthworms on a daily basis, and can make havoc of your yard.

In response to customer feedback requesting mole control service, we have done our research & field studies.  We are happy to announce All-American's Mole Control program. 

The initial service involves three visits to your home including inspection, mapping, identifying the most active runs, baiting, and reassessment. We are confident that we can get rid of the moles in your yard. All of our test sites have been mole free for over 1 month now.

What we can't do is prevent new moles from re-entering your yard. Moles are very territorial and there will only be 1 mole per 1/4 -1/2 acre, but when neighboring moles learn of new available territory, they will make use of existing runs and move on over. What we recommend is an ongoing mole control service to quickly take control when a new mole moves in. We will come back to reassess the situation and bait for new moles every other month. If you would like to learn more email or call.

Ants are the new termite!

Termites are still an ongoing problem in Middle Tennessee, but termite control measures have come along way since the 1900's when attempts were made to protect homes when arsenic dust and DDT. Since then, there have been many technological advancements made in the termite control industry to help us better protect our homes from structural damage due to termite infestations. While nothing is 100% fool proof when it comes to nature and protecting homes from termites, we have arrived to an age in the development of termite control where we have sensible, environment responsible, and effective termite control measures available to us.  These advancements are nothing but great news to homeowners, and pest control companies now feel more confident than ever before in their control measures and service offerings. My company, All-American Pest Control, is so much more confident with our termite protection service offerings that we now offer a termite damage repair agreement for 90% of all homes. In the past, we only offered termite damage repair agreements for 20% of homes.

Ants are the new termite!  These days ant infestations can be much more of a headache for home owners and pest control companies. Ants will never cause as much structural damage as termites so the fear will never be as prevalent as termite- but ants are sure quite a nuisance and can be difficult to control. Two species of ants that we regularly encounter in homes in Middle Tennessee are the Carpenter Ant and the Odorous House Ant. Ants can be eliminated.  Successful control measures include inspections around moisture sources to uncover a primary and/or secondary nest, study of the behavior and trailing of the ants, identification of the ant, removal of any competing food sources, a baiting treatment when necessary, and a bit of patience. We generally recommend an on-going service for ant problems.  Often it may take 2-3 trips to successfully eliminate an ant problem.  With our on-going service, additional trips are covered for no additional charge.
