  • Can’t I handle my home’s pest control myself?

    When you’re worried about bugs being in your home, you need to hire a professional exterminator to ensure they get removed. If you try to do it yourself and miss just one egg carrying a female, the entire infestation will start all over again. Professionally trained exterminators will make sure the entire colony is dead. Do not be embarrassed if your home has bed bugs. An infestation of bed bugs can happen to anyone. With bed bugs, they are able to live in various nooks and crannies of your home and also multiply rapidly. They are impossible to control without professional exterminators and their pest control treatments. Let our knowledgeable and experienced exterminators clear your home of pests and return it to the way it used to be.

  • I have ants in my home, can you get them to stop coming?

    United Exterminating of Tennessee can help you if you have an ant problem. Once you’ve seen one ant, you will almost certainly see more. Ants leave a pheromone trail where they go and once one has gotten into your home, more will come and it will be difficult to stop the process from continuing. That is why our exterminators are here. We use our specialized equipment and expertise to figure out where the ants are coming from and eliminate their colony entirely.
