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.

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.

What are these tiny, jumping flea like creatures?

With all the rain that we have had since the beginning of March, it is very likely that you've seen some ants in your house. In June, rain and moisture contributes to calls regarding the wee little creature named a Springtail.

Springtails are very small wingless pests that occasionally invade your home. Damp conditions are preferred... so you'll most likely find springtails in basements, bathrooms, and kitchens... and sometimes around window sills.  They are 1-2 mm in size and can jump a mean 3-4 inches... which amazingly is about 100 times their body length.

A general pest control treatment or a Green Choice Pest Control treatment with an emphasis on kitchen, bathrooms, and water pipes will help greatly with a Springtail problem in Middle TN.
