Protecting Tennessee Colony Properties

Tennessee Colony sits near Cedar Creek Reservoir. Mix of lake properties, small town homes, and rural land. Peaceful area. Good fishing. Quiet living.

But lakefront and rural living comes with pest pressure. Mosquitoes near the water. Fire ants in sandy soil. Termites in older structures. And if you’ve got land or woods nearby, rodents and wildlife are constant issues.

We’ve been handling pest control in Tennessee Colony since 2006. We know lake properties. We know rural properties. We know what works.

Pest Challenges Around Tennessee Colony

Mosquitoes Near Cedar Creek Reservoir

If you’re anywhere near the lake or low areas that hold water, mosquitoes are brutal from April through October. They breed fast and swarm at dusk.

Our Mosquito Duo Defense program uses monthly barrier treatments and In2Care breeding site control. Makes your property usable again.

Fire Ants in Yards and Properties

Sandy soil around Tennessee Colony is perfect for fire ants. They build mounds in yards, around docks, near structures. Painful stings. Aggressive colonies.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps them suppressed year-round.

Termites Threatening Structures

Lake humidity plus wood structures equals termite risk. Homes, cabins, docks, barns – all vulnerable.

We inspect for termites, treat active infestations with Termidor, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for ongoing protection.

Rodents in Structures

Mice and rats love properties around Tennessee Colony. They nest in storage areas, chew wiring, contaminate stored items.

We trap inside, bait outside, and seal entry points to stop them from getting in.

Wildlife Near Wooded Areas

Raccoons, squirrels, possums – they get into attics and crawlspaces. More common if you’re near the woods or lake.

We trap, remove, and seal entry points. Some properties need clean-up after wildlife removal.

What Tennessee Colony Properties Need

Lake Properties

Higher pest pressure near Cedar Creek Reservoir. Mosquitoes are relentless. Spiders love the environment. Moisture attracts carpenter ants.

Premium or Elite Plan recommended. Bundle mosquito service – most lake property owners do because it makes outdoor living possible.

Small Town Homes

Essential or Premium Plan works for most. Quarterly treatments handle everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Rural Properties with Land

More acreage means more pest pressure. Fire ants, mosquitoes, wildlife. Outbuildings attract rodents and spiders.

Premium or Elite gives more comprehensive coverage for rural challenges.

Vacation and Weekend Properties

If you’re not there full-time, pests move in when you’re gone. Regular quarterly service keeps things under control between visits.

We can coordinate timing with when you use the property.

Common Pest Problems in Tennessee Colony

Spiders Around Lake Properties

Orb weavers building webs across walkways. Wolf spiders on decks. Black widows in storage areas and under docks.

We treat where spiders actually live – vegetation, under structures, harborage areas. Not just spray baseboards.

Ants Following Moisture

Lake properties often have moisture issues. Ants follow water right into homes. Argentine ants, rover ants, carpenter ants.

We find and treat the colony – not just kill the ones marching across your counter.

Wasps Building Nests

Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they nest under eaves, on boats, around docks, on porch furniture. Aggressive when disturbed.

We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet.

Carpenter Ants in Damp Wood

Big black ants tunneling through wood. Common around lake properties with moisture problems or damaged wood.

Carpenter ant treatment included in Elite Plan. Additional service for Essential or Premium customers.
