Calling and scheduling
How do I get a technician out quickly?
Call (855) 974-4733. Phones are answered 24/7, and a same-day visit is offered when a technician is free. Mention anything urgent, such as an animal in the attic or a nest by a door. An arrival time is only given once the technician confirms it.
Is pest control available at night?
The phone line is answered at any hour, but technicians are scheduled visits, not an emergency crew. A night call is taken, your details are passed on and a visit is arranged as soon as someone is free.
What should I tell the call line?
Say what you saw, where in the house, how long it has been going on and whether pets or small children are in the home. Your street or ZIP matters too, because it decides who is sent.
Seasons and pests in Middle Tennessee
Do pests stop in the winter here?
Not entirely. Winters are mild with cold snaps, so outdoor insects slow down, but mice and cockroaches stay active indoors and some insects wake on warm days. There is no true dormant season.
Why are there orange beetles on my wall in October?
They are most likely Asian lady beetles. University of Tennessee Extension says they move into buildings in autumn to overwinter and gather on sunny sides of a house. See lady beetle control and our lady beetle guide.
Which ant is most common in Tennessee homes?
University of Tennessee Extension calls the odorous house ant the most common house-invading ant in the state. Carpenter ants are a different matter, as they nest in damp or damaged wood. See ant control.
Are brown recluse spiders a big concern?
They are worth taking seriously because they often hide in stored boxes in attics and basements. Identification is by a violin-shaped mark, so ask a technician rather than guessing. See spider control.
Prices and quotes
How much does pest control cost?
It depends on the pest, the size of the house, how easy the crawl space or attic is to reach and whether the job is one visit or a plan. The technician confirms the price before treatment. See the pricing page.
Will I be asked to sign up for a plan?
Not automatically. A single problem may need one visit or a few follow-ups. A recurring plan makes sense for ongoing pressure, and it is explained with its price before you agree.
Are quotes free?
A price is given after the technician has looked at the problem, and you are not obliged to go ahead. Ask on the call whether any visit fee applies to your situation.
Before and after a visit
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Clear access to the area, such as the space under a sink, the garage wall or the attic hatch. Put away pet food and bowls, and keep children and pets away from the area being checked.
Can I stay home during treatment?
Usually yes, but the technician explains precautions for your particular product and room. Follow the label directions on re-entry and on pets, and ask before the work starts if anything is unclear.
Why was something I could not see treated?
Technicians often treat or seal the outside first, such as the foundation, eaves and utility entries, because that is where pests enter. Ask the technician to point out what was found and why.
