Year-Round Pest Pressures in Arrington, TN

Pest problems in Arrington don’t follow a schedule, but they often follow the weather. With our mix of wooded areas, farmland, and growing neighborhoods, homes here face different invaders as the seasons change. That’s why pest control in Arrington works best when it works all year long.

Here’s a look at what each season tends to bring:

Spring

As temperatures rise, pest activity ramps up, especially around the yard and foundation.

• Termite swarms signal nearby colonies

• Ants scout kitchens and baseboards for food

• Mosquitoes begin breeding in standing water

• Wasps and hornets start building new nests

Summer

Warm weather fuels peak breeding and outdoor pest activity.

• Fleas and ticks thrive in shaded lawns and gardens

• Carpenter ants expand indoor and outdoor nests

• Fire ants become aggressive and spread across yards

• Mosquito populations surge and linger near patios

Fall

As it cools down, pests look for shelter, and your home is a prime target.

• Rodents squeeze into attics and crawlspaces

• Spiders, including brown recluse, move indoors

• Cockroaches seek out warm, humid hiding spots

• Stink bugs and lady beetles gather on sunny walls and windows

Winter

You may not see pests, but many are still active inside your home.

• Mice and rats nest in insulation or behind appliances

• Silverfish and pantry pests hide in dark storage areas

• Brown recluse spiders stay tucked away in closets or furniture

• Termites continue to feed within wood structures

No matter the season, our team is ready with proven, proactive treatments to help you stay ahead of whatever pests show up next.

Spider Prevention Tips

In addition to professional pest control from AAPC, here are some steps you can take to prevent spiders from invading your home and property:

• Trim trees and bushes away from your home. Spiders use their legs to gain access to your home.

• Repair or replace any screens with holes or rips.

• Caulk gaps around windows and doors.

• Seal any cracks in your foundation.

• Secure your outbuildings. Do not leave doors or windows open for long periods of time.

• Keep wood piles away from the exterior of your home. 

Brown Recluse Spider Control In Arrington Tennessee

All-American Pest Control has a specific program dedicated to brown recluse spider control in Arrington and throughout Middle Tennessee. As their name suggests, their reclusive nature can make this species extremely difficult to control, and the treatment method needs to be tailored to each home's unique needs. Our brown recluse spider control program starts with an inspection and evaluation of your home and property and includes a thorough treatment of your crawlspace and/or basement areas, an interior application at the base of closets, around furniture, behind bed frames and other spider resting spots found in your home, treatments to wall voids and other inaccessible areas, attic treatments, exterior applications to perimeter cracks and crevices, and finally exterior web removal.

Keeping Stinging Insects Away in Arrington

There are two types of stinging insects: There is the stinging insect you find near its nest and there is the stinging insect you find away from its nest. This is an important distinction because the stinging insect you find away from its nests is much less likely to sting you. As long as you don't wave your arms around and provoke it, that stinging insect will let you walk away without a wound.

The wasp or yellow jacket to watch out for is the one that is near its nest. Social wasps and hornets have a nest-protection instinct. For this reason, the best way to avoid being stun in your yard is to not have a nest on your property. Here are two things you should know.

Where Stinging Insect Nests Are Often Found

When a wasp or hornet creates a nest in your yard, there are a few common locations you can look to find them:

• Underneath roof overhangs.

• In a tree hole, attached to a branch, or in holes around the base of a tree.

• In a bush or shrub

• Underneath decks and other external structures.

• Inside any ground hole, in particular, holes that are created by wildlife.

However, even if you have stinging insects on your property, we don’t recommend you go looking for nests!

Stinging pests don't always create nests in your yard or on the outside of your home. They can create a nest on the inside as well. These nests can be difficult to detect. You'll have to look closely for a wasp or hornet entering and exiting a hole in your home, garage, shed, barn or other structure on your property. This kind of activity can alert you to danger.

Who has time to look for the nests of stinging insects or stinging insect activity? This is why a wasp or hornet infestation can sneak up on a family. But those wasps and hornets don't have to sneak up on you. With Stinging & Biting Insect Yard Treatments from All-American Pest Control, you get routine inspections from a highly-trained Arrington pest control professional. When wasps or hornets try to establish themselves in your yard, you'll know it.

Termite Control Tips for Arrington Residents

One of the first questions that must be considered when discussing termite control and protection is just how harmful termites are in Tennessee.  After all, if you don't believe termites are a threat to your home, why would you consider controlling them? To answer this question, we must look at two factors: which type of termite is the most destructive, and are those termites present in Tennessee? 

Of all the termites that destroy properties in the United States, subterranean termites are head and shoulders above the rest. Damage done by subterranean termites is in the billions of dollars annually. All other termite damage combined is only in the hundreds of millions. Can you guess what type of termites we deal with in Arrington? Yup. Subterranean termites.

Why are subterranean termites so destructive?

One of the big reasons this type of termite is such a destructive powerhouse is that it is really sneaky. Subterranean termites come up from the ground and feed on the inside of wood. That is why they are considered the silent destroyers of the pest world. You could have these termites feeding on your home right now and not even know it.

How do you stop subterranean termites?

We believe the best way to detect subterranean termites and prevent damage is with the Sentricon® System with Always Active™. Here are 5 reasons every Arrington home should be guarded by Sentricon® with Always Active™:

Tips to Keep Out Ants in Arrington

Throughout the summer months, ants can become a problem in your home and specifically in your kitchen. In other articles, we've talked about the common ants in Tennessee that do this and how ants get into homes, but today we're going to focus on why ants can become a problem in your kitchen.
 
The first thing required for an ant infestation to happen in your kitchen is that ants have to find a way in. There are many ways they can do this. They'll climb through gaps in weatherstripping on doors and past damaged door sweeps. They'll climb in through the seal around door and window frames. But the most common entry points ants use are holes created by wood-damaging pests. If you want to avoid problems with ants, the first step is to patch or seal holes, gaps, and cracks in your exterior.
 
Once you've done everything you can to keep ants from getting in, they may still be able to get into your home. The good news is that most ants won't enter your home in large numbers unless they have a good reason. What reason might that be? An infestation usually starts with a small number of scout ants locating a food source. As a scout ant returns to the nest with food, it lays down a pheromone scent that alerts the other ants in the colony to the presence of food. Within a very short time, a large number of ants can quickly mobilize to go after that food. The more ants that do, the more pheromone is laid down. The catalyst of this invasion is the food source. Here are a few ways you can prevent ants from mobilizing a large army to enter your home.

• Clean spills up immediately.

• Put dishes in a sink full of soapy water, rather than sitting on the counter next to the sink.

• Vacuum your rugs routinely.

• Put pet food down only during mealtimes.

• Be cautious about where you set bags full of trash down. It may be easy for you to overlook a spot on the floor where organic juices have leaked through, but it won't be difficult for an ant. Bring trash straight from your interior receptacles to exterior receptacles if possible.

Ants are tiny, persistent insects that can quickly become a nuisance, but infestations aren't always just a nuisance. Some species of ant can contaminate your food and some can damage your home. When ants appear in your kitchen, or long before, reach out to All-American Pest Control, the pest control company in Arrington you can trust!

Rodent Control for Arrington Homes

 In quiet, semi-rural areas like Arrington, rodents find plenty of opportunities to sneak into homes, especially when the weather cools down. Fields, barns, and wooded lots are perfect nesting grounds, and once mice or rats get inside, they don’t leave without a fight.

Signs You May Have Rodents in Your Home

Rodents are experts at staying out of sight, but they often leave behind clear evidence. Look for:

• Droppings in kitchen drawers, cabinets, or pantries

• Chewed packaging, baseboards, or insulation

• Scratching or rustling noises in walls or ceilings at night

• Foul odors near appliances or inside closets

• Grease marks along baseboards and walls

How Rodents Get Inside

Even the smallest opening can be enough. Common entry points include:

• Gaps around doors or garage seals

• Unsealed crawlspaces and attic vents

• Utility line entry holes

• Cracks in the foundation or siding

Once inside, rodents can contaminate food, chew through wires, and damage insulation. Worse, they can carry parasites and bacteria that pose health risks to your family.

How We Help at All-American Pest Control

Our rodent control services in Arrington start with a thorough inspection to identify where rodents are nesting and how they’re getting in. From there, we take action with:

• Tamper-resistant bait stations and traps

• Entry point identification and exclusion recommendations

• Ongoing monitoring and follow-up visits

• Interior and exterior treatments as needed

If you're hearing noises in your walls or finding unwelcome signs of activity in your kitchen or garage, don't wait it out. Contact All-American Pest Control and get rodent protection tailored to your home and property.
