We're getting a lot of ant calls right now, and the heat is a big reason why.

Odorous house ants become extremely active during warm weather. Many homeowners first notice them when a few ants show up in the kitchen. A day or two later, there can be hundreds following established trails to food and moisture sources.

The frustrating part is that spraying the ants you see rarely solves the problem. The colony is often hidden under mulch, landscape timbers, concrete slabs, or even inside wall voids. That's why these infestations tend to keep coming back.

If you've started seeing ant trails around your home, don't wait until they take over the kitchen counter. Our technicians can identify the source, treat the colony, and help keep ants from returning.

Have questions about ant activity around your home? Give us a call. We're happy to help.

Most homeowners never think about their crawlspace dehumidifier until there's a problem.

In this video, Branson shows a filter that was so clogged it was restricting airflow and reducing the system's ability to control humidity. It's a simple maintenance item, but it can make a big difference.

When crawlspace humidity gets too high, it can contribute to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, insect activity, and even attract rodents looking for a favorable environment.

A clean filter and properly functioning dehumidifier help protect your home from the ground up.

If it's been a while since your crawlspace was inspected, now is a great time to take a look. Small maintenance issues are much easier to address before they become expensive repairs.

Sweat, dirt, tight spaces, and a lot of attention to detail.

This is what a real termite treatment often looks like.

Our technician is applying a liquid Termidor treatment beneath a deck, working his way into areas that most people would rather avoid. Effective termite protection isn't just about applying a product. It's about reaching every critical area around the structure and creating a continuous treatment zone where termites travel.

Termites cause billions of dollars in property damage every year, and catching them early can save homeowners from major repairs down the road.

If you've noticed swarmers, mud tubes, damaged wood, or just want peace of mind, we're here to help.

If you’ve ever seen one of these monsters crawling around your door at night, you probably thought: “Great. We’ve got roaches.”

Not necessarily.

This is a wood roach. Around East Tennessee, they live outside in mulch, leaves, firewood, and damp wooded areas. They accidentally wander inside all the time, especially this time of year.

They’re still unpleasant. They still make people jump backwards at Olympic speed. But they usually aren’t the same type of roach that infests kitchens and bathrooms.

If you’re seeing them regularly, it’s worth looking at moisture issues, door sweeps, weather stripping, crawlspace conditions, and vegetation around the home.

And yes... they always seem to show up exactly when you’re carrying groceries.

Out of sight usually means out of mind when it comes to crawlspaces.

But underneath many homes, we regularly find issues homeowners never knew were happening. Rodents nesting in insulation. Moisture collecting under the house. Fungus starting to grow on floor joists. Insects finding the perfect environment to spread unnoticed.

One of the most common things we see is insulation falling down from the floor system after moisture, animals, or age have taken a toll on it.

Your crawlspace plays a big role in protecting your home’s structure, energy efficiency, and even indoor air quality. Catching problems early can save a lot of money and headaches later.

If it’s been years since anyone has looked under your home, there’s a good chance it’s worth checking. Call today for a free inspection.
