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.

Have you discovered piles of sawdust on the ground around the exterior of your home in the Knoxville area? Have you noticed nickel-sized holes bored into the wood? Have you noticed large insects buzzing around your siding?

If you wake up one morning and the stench of rotten eggs is hanging over your yard, it can only mean one thing: a skunk has made itself at home on your property. Skunks are common in the Knoxville area but they're nocturnal, so they're rarely seen even when they're smelled. You'd be wise to keep them out of sight; skunks are territorial and if they hit you with their infamous spray, you'll be stricken with temporary blindness, severe nausea and a terrible smell that's very difficult to wash off.
