Why Nashville

Why Nashville Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Being a small town inside farm country means the rural pressure never really stops at the town limit. Field margins run to within a few hundred yards of most streets, so mice arrive with harvest, ticks and chiggers sit in the grass and pine edges — and North Carolina reports some of the highest spotted fever rickettsiosis rates in the country — while ground-nesting yellow jackets take advantage of the loose sandy loam across lawns, verges and field banks.

Water and older housing account for the rest. The Tar River bottomland and Stoney Creek hold shaded standing water within easy mosquito flight range, and Nash County took serious flooding from Hurricane Floyd and again from Matthew and Florence, which leaves crawl spaces wet long after the water goes. Older frame housing on brick piers sits close to grade in a state with moderate to heavy eastern subterranean termite pressure, and damp crawl spaces keep smokybrown roaches and camel crickets going.

Low sills over ground that stays wet after flooding, in a moderate to heavy pressure state.

General Pest Control

Grass and pine edges hold ticks and chiggers, and North Carolina has very high spotted fever rates.

Common Questions

Nashville Pest Questions, Answered

Something stung us repeatedly from a hole in the lawn.
Yellow jackets. They nest underground, often in an abandoned rodent burrow, and the loose sandy loam here suits them well. Colonies are biggest and most defensive from August through October, and mower vibration is the usual trigger. Do not pour fuel down the hole or try to flood it — that produces stings without reaching the nest.
Our crawl space never dried out after the last storm.
That needs dealing with before anything else. Wet crawl-space timber invites decay fungi, carpenter ants, roaches and termites all at once, and this county has taken repeated hurricane flooding. Get standing water out, remove soaked insulation and cardboard, then fix grading and downspouts before anyone discusses a vapour barrier or encapsulation.
Chiggers every time we walk the field edge.
Grass and brush margins in Coastal Plain summer are prime chigger habitat, and the same edges hold ticks. Showering promptly after being out helps with chiggers specifically, and a mown treated buffer where the lawn meets rough ground cuts the encounter rate. Given the spotted fever rates in this state, a full tick check is a habit worth keeping.
Mice in the shed and the house every autumn.
Harvest is the trigger — cover and food disappear from surrounding fields within days and the mice relocate to the nearest buildings. Outbuildings usually get hit first because they are quieter and hold feed or seed. Sealing entries on both the house and the outbuildings in late summer, before the crops come off, is what changes the outcome.
Termites in a house that flooded.
It is a real combination. Flood water saturates sills, joists and subfloor, and softened damp wood is exactly what subterranean termites and decay fungi exploit, in a state that already carries moderate to heavy pressure. A wood-destroying insect report after a flood is worth having, because it covers decay and beetles as well as termites.
