Why Alcoa homes get household pests

The red clay and limestone-based loam that surrounds Alcoa is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what household pests need to thrive. The the Appalachians, the Cumberland Plateau, and valleys adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

We treat the structure and the immediate yard, including the foundation line, the garage, the shed, and the entry points. The perimeter work is what keeps the pests from moving back in.
