Work Hard, Spray Harder
Most of what walks into a Middle Tennessee house is not a movie bug. It is a camel cricket in the crawl, silverfish in the bathroom, stink bugs on the siding in October, or moths in the pantry. Those jobs ride the Shield insect stop unless the note below says otherwise.
Shield plans: Basic $50 / Advance $75 / Premium $125. Call or text 931-500-6969.
The brown, hump-backed jumpers in Maury and Williamson crawls. They love damp block, cardboard, and stored stuff. We treat the crawl and the first floor they wander onto. Dry the space if you can. A wet crawl keeps making more.
Centipedes hunt other bugs. Millipedes eat damp organic junk. Both show up after rain and in houses with a wet skirt. Exterior barrier plus interior harborage. Fix the moisture or they commute back in.
Moisture indicators. Mulch against the slab, clogged gutters, and leaky hose bibs feed them. Shield covers the spray. The mulch line is on you.
Black beetles that pile up at lights and door sweeps. Exterior treatment and tighter door bottoms do more than bombing the kitchen.
They pack south and west walls in fall and overwinter in attics and wall voids. We treat the exterior staging areas. Once they are inside the wall, a spray in the living room does not finish the job. Do not crush them on the drywall if you can help it.
Same story as stink bugs: sunny siding in fall, then they sneak in. Exterior residual on the warm walls. Boxelder trees and kudzu on the lot keep the pressure up.
Tiny red specks on windowsills after a warm snap. They do not bite. They stain when you smash them. Treat the foundation and the first few feet of lawn on that side of the house.
Cluster flies overwinter in attics like stink bugs. House flies are a sanitation and entry problem — trash, pet yards, open doors. We treat resting sites. You handle the trash can.
Flat, fast, eat paper, glue, and starch. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and boxes in the closet. Residual in cracks plus less humidity. They are on the regular insect stop.
Indian meal moths, weevils, and flour beetles in flour, bird seed, pet food, and pancake mix. We treat the kitchen and pantry voids. You toss the infested food and wipe the shelves. A spray with a bag of moth-eaten cereal still on the shelf is a waste of a stop.
Drain flies breed in the gunk in the P-trap and overflow. Fruit flies breed in the ripeness on the counter and in the recycling. We can treat drains. If the organic film stays, they come back in a week.
Clothes moths want wool, feathers, and quiet closets. Booklice want damp paper and wallpaper paste. Treat plus dry the room. Not a Shield mystery add-on — tell us which one when you call.
Bigger than pavement ants. They nest in wet or hollow wood — fascia, porch posts, and tree stumps against the house. House ants are on Shield. A carpenter ant nest in a column is inspected and quoted if it is more than a trail on the counter.
The ones drilling perfect holes in fascia and deck joists every spring. We treat the galleries. Filling holes before they are empty just moves the next hole over six inches. Soft wood trim will get hit again next year if you do not paint or cap it.
Big, loud, usually not looking for you. Cicada killers nest in sandy soil and lawn edges. Mud daubers build tubes on brick and porch ceilings. We treat nests we can reach. They are not honey bees.
Paper nests under eaves are often pulled on the Shield stop when we can reach them. In-ground or wall-void colonies are their own visit. Do not kick the hole in the yard first.
