"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!!"

"..Doug Ashe is the super hero of animal control and removal. Dont even bother looking at the ads of other wildlife removal vendors. Doug Ashe does it all. He stands behind his work.

"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."

Carpenter bees do not make honey like honey bees, but they are still essential pollinators. In fact, they have a unique talent called "buzz pollination," in which they use the vibration from their wings to help release pollen from the flowers' anthers. Honey bees are also vital pollinators but do not use this process because they are too small and lack the strength required to buzz pollinate.
No, pest-repellent plants can only reduce the number of pests in your garden—they won’t repel all of them. So, for example, a plant like catnip that repels mosquitoes won’t completely eradicate them from your yard.
Earwigs may look scary with their pincers, but they don’t pose a serious threat to humans or pets. They are not poisonous, do not sting, and rarely bite or pinch unless handled. While they are not known to transmit diseases, their presence can signal underlying moisture problems in your home, such as mold, water damage, or rotting wood. A large infestation can become a nuisance, and certain species may emit an unpleasant odor. Therefore, while earwigs themselves aren’t dangerous, a large number of them may indicate bigger issues that should be addressed by a pest control professional.
False chinch bugs are generally smaller and somewhat paler than true chinch bugs, although they otherwise look similar. The name is a bit of a misnomer: They act very similarly and both feed on plants by sucking out their juices. However, chinch bug feeding tends to be very destructive to the plant, while strangely the false chinch bug does relatively little damage.
