Why Arlington homes get wildlife

The red clay and limestone-based loam that surrounds Arlington is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what wildlife 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.
