"Ron Pope and his team at Critter Control of East Tennessee provided a prompt response to my call for help with a pest problem and then performed a thorough analysis of the matter to determine that the pest problem was caused by squirrels. They provided a solution that would prevent the problem from occurring again and then went through a removal process followed by some roof repair and the removal /replacement of a damaged roof ridge vent. The entire matter was handled professionally and cordially. This was my first experience of this nature but Ron Pope did a great job in educating me about it from analysis through resolution and then performing exactly as he indicated he would. Ron and his Critter Control of East Tennessee team are the solution to any pest related problem one might have and I strongly encourage those with similar problems to contact Ron immediately. You won't be disappointed!!"

"When the technician arrived he said that we seemed to have a minor infestation and should be able to be taken care of easily. After 3 treatments we had a message left on AM that we should call for our monthly treatment. I hadn't planned on regular treatments so I called and told the technician that I was going to call someone else. He was very cordial. I called another Pest company and after one treatment we have not seen any cockroaches for 3 months."

Yes, both hobo and wolf spiders resemble brown recluse spiders, both in habitat and physical appearance. However, these species lack the tell-tale violin-shaped markings under the head that classify a brown recluse. Both species also have shorter legs than the dreaded brown recluse.
There is no exact science here, due to the nature of nests and how mice raise their young, but a good place to start is to inspect the droppings. A single mouse poops a lot, leaving around 50 droppings in a single day, likely near a primary food source. If you find only sporadic droppings, you likely have a small infestation. If you spot large mounds of droppings, you are dealing with a big problem.
It can take several days to a few weeks to completely get rid of gnats, though this timeline can vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the methods used to eliminate the gnats. During this time, it’s crucial to identify and eliminate the source of the infestation, such as removing any overripe fruit, decaying plant matter, or damp soil.
One scorpion sighting doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an infestation, but finding a scorpion in your home should always be taken seriously. Don’t panic, though, as that will only make the situation more stressful, and you may act irrationally out of fear. Most scorpions have extremely painful stings that cause swelling and redness, but they’re not life-threatening.
However, while not all species are dangerous, the Arizona bark scorpion, which is common in the southwest U.S., is highly venomous and potentially deadly to humans. Never attempt DIY removal if you suspect it may be the Arizona bark scorpion—instead, contact a pest control professional immediately for safe, effective scorpion removal
There are several ways to get rid of fleas in your yard without harming your pet. One option is to use a flea control treatment (such as a spray or bomb) that’s safe for pets. If you’re unsure whether a certain product is pet-friendly, check the label or ask a pest removal pro. Alternatively, you can apply beneficial nematodes—which won’t affect pets or people—to your lawn.
