Common Pests in Cleveland, TN
Pest Control
More on pests in your area
The rolling hills and warm weather of Cleveland, TN, are inviting to residents and pests alike. During the hot summer months, as well as other times of the year, bed bugs often enter homes by hitchhiking on clothing, furniture, and luggage. The pests feed on human blood and sometimes cause the development of itchy bumps and allergic reactions with their bites. Summer is also an active time for spiders. While harmless house spiders are most common, venomous black widows and brown recluse spiders also live in the region.
When cold weather drives pests indoors, residents of Cleveland often find pantry beetles in their homes. Species such as cigarette beetles, rice weevils, and flour beetles feed on and contaminate cereals, grains, flour, and spices. Rats are another pest that strikes during the cool season. Homeowners encounter them in attics, basements, and wall voids. The destructive rodents gnaw on wires and pipes, tear up insulation, and eat stored foods. The presence of rat saliva, urine, and droppings around the home can lead to the spread of disease.
