Are you afraid of spiders?

The fear of spiders is the third most common fear… just behind death and public speaking. Here in Middle Tennessee we find 6 very common spiders. These spiders include the House Spider, Hobo Spider, Wolf Spider, Cellar Spider, Jumping Spider, Black Widow Spider and Brown Recluse Spider.

Our customers find that our Perimeter Pest Control program and/or our Green Choice Pest Control program are effective treatments to get rid of spiders. With both program, you get superior exterior treatments to stop spiders before they get inside your home. We create an invisible barrier by treating the foundation of your home, window sills we can reach, splash blocks, garbage cans, garage door openings, and door openings. Both the Perimeter Pest Control and Green Choice Pest Control program, provide you with additional protection for up to 47 different Middle TN pests including…

Due to the nature of Brown Recluse Spiders, we recommend a bit more thorough process to reduce brown recluse spider populations. The process starts with a 2 week evaluation period to determine best treatment approach for your home and level of brown recluse activity.

If you need services for general spiders and/or brown recluse spiders, connect with us by phone, email or by filling out our Home Evaluation Form on our website.

No Obligation, Free Home Evaluation

There are many aspects to maintaining a healthy, safe, well-maintained home. It's not an easy job to keep the air filters changed, HVAC system checked twice per year, windows cleaned, lawn mowed, etc. I hate to add another item to your long to-do list... but it is important to have your home inspected by well trained professionals for pests and termites. Reach out and we'll coordinate a time that's convenient for you for a no-obligation, free home evaluation.

A Free Home Evaluation consists of a thorough look from a trained professional under, around, and inside your home. We're looking for visible termite activity, termite damage, water and moisture damage, evidence of pests, conditions conducive for future problems, and the condition of vents and ductwork.We provide a written report and upon request we'll provide an estimate for termite protection, pest control, mole control, mosquitoes, and fire ant yard treatments.

Help! I have fleas!

 We get most of our calls for fleas in June each year... but flea problems can come almost anytime. Flea inside treatments are included in our quarterly Perimeter Pest Control program & our Perimeter PLUS program. If you are set up on one of these programs and you get a flea problem, all you have to do is call. We’ll come and take care of your flea problem for no additional charge. (Same goes for most all other pesky little bugs out there)

Fleas are a situation where we need helps from you, the homeowner. There are some steps you can take to prepare your home and get a better, more thorough treatment. First of all...

    * Pick up toys, boxes, and other items lying on the floor
    * Vacuum floors, upholstery furniture, and any pet bedding
    * Take the vacuum bag (or empty the canister) outside of your home (don’t leave it inside to reinfect your house)
    * Have your house treated by a professional. You’ll need to stay out of your house until the material dries (about 2-3 hours)
    * If you haven’t had your pet treated, do so on the same day.
    * After the professional treatment, buy a cheap flea collar, cut it up, and place pieces in your vacuum bag or canister.
    * Vacuum at least every other day for 3 weeks (maybe 4).
    * Leave your thermostat at a constant temperature, do not turn off the air while at work or out of town.

These steps will get rid of your flea problem. It takes fleas 21 days to go through their life cycle. The professional treatment will kill all the adult fleas, but fleas will continue hatch for 21 days. Vacuuming with a flea collar in the bag will continue to reactivate the material as fleas continue to hatch, the flea collar will kill any fleas that get picked up by the vacuum.
