Having wildlife invade the home is a source of fear for many homeowners. The thought of dirty wild animals running rampant through your walls and attic, spreading their filth, is enough to make anyone's skin crawl. You'd think that you'd at least know as soon as nuisance animals get into your home but they can be surprisingly stealthy.

Almost all pest species can be destructive inside a home but subterranean termites are the most destructive by far. These pests are responsible for property damage that costs billions of dollars to repair every single year in the United States. The warm, humid climate in Knoxville is perfect for termites and they commonly invade local homes to feast on the wood cellulose within floors and walls.

We may love the temperate climate here in Knoxville but, unfortunately, so do mosquitoes, one of our most dreaded local pests. Swarms of mosquitoes are a nuisance almost all year long, mobbing us every time we walk outside at the height of mosquito season. There's nothing worse than stepping out for a fun backyard barbeque, only to retreat inside thirty minutes later, covered in itchy bites.
