Common Pests in Blountville, TN
Pest Control
More on pests in your area
The humid, temperate climate of Blountville, TN, appeals to pests. Common in the area, brown recluse spiders and black widow spiders are found in garages, attics, basements, gardens, and wood piles. Both species of spiders have toxic bites that can leave victims with painful rashes, necrotic, painful lesions, and possible cosmetic damage to bitten areas of the body. Finding either type of pest can unnerve residents and put them at risk of being bitten, although the spiders only bite people who threaten their wellbeing.
Carpenter ants are drawn to homes in Blountville where moist wood is plentiful. They are often found in gutters, kitchens, and basements, as well as under sinks. Outdoors they can be found in firewood, in fallen logs and branches, plus dead and dying limbs in trees. These pests create hollow gaps in wood for nesting. This negatively affects the physical structure of infested homes. Easily reached food in houses also lures carpenter ants inside.
