When something is living in your walls, under your crawl space, or building a nest in your eaves, the question is not whether to deal with it. It is who to call. We handle pest control for homeowners and property managers throughout New Tazewell and the surrounding area, from a single-family home with an ant problem in the kitchen to a rental property with rodent activity no one caught until the damage was done.
Call (423) 455-9642 and we will scope the job before anything is scheduled.
New Tazewell is a town where most properties sit close to open ground, and that shapes what we see. Pests do not need much of an invitation. A gap in the foundation, a soffit that has pulled away, a wood pile against the house wall. We treat the full structure, inside and out, and we identify the source before anything is applied. We cover this area every day from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Some pest problems call for a single treatment. A wasp nest that appeared last week, a mouse that found its way in through a gap that has since been identified, a cockroach problem in a rental unit that was caught early. A one-time visit handles the active infestation, addresses the conditions driving it, and leaves you with a clear picture of what was done. That is often the right starting point, and we will tell you honestly if it is all the situation needs.
Other properties need more than that. If pests have been a recurring issue, if the structure backs onto wooded ground, or if previous treatments have not held, a recurring prevention plan is the better answer. Regular visits reduce pressure over time by treating the perimeter and any interior hot spots before a population gets established. Each visit builds on the last, and the cost per visit is lower than repeated one-time calls. We'll find the source and treat it right.
Short-notice and urgent calls are answered.
When something cannot wait, call (423) 455-9642 and ask what the schedule allows.
We confirm what is available on the call itself, and we can often work around a household that needs to stay in place or a business that cannot close for a treatment window.
Visits are arranged on the call. The technician is told what the property involves before arriving, so the inspection starts with the right areas rather than working through the whole structure before finding the problem. We confirm any preparation needed beforehand and provide clear guidance on re-entry times after a treatment, so nobody is left guessing when it is safe to return.
For tenants and rental properties, we handle the scheduling conversation on both sides. The landlord gets documentation of what was treated and when. The tenant gets a clear walkthrough of what to expect on the day. Properties that need to stay open during treatment get that conversation up front, not after the technician has already arrived.
A wasp or hornet problem is not really about the insects. It is about where the nest is and how accessible it is. An exposed nest under an eave is a different job from one built inside a wall void or in the ground. The approach changes depending on where the colony has established itself, and treating the entry point without addressing the nest leaves the problem open.
We locate the nest before applying anything. Ground nests, wall-void nests, and exposed nests each require a different treatment method, and the scope is confirmed before the visit so you know what the job involves. Yellowjackets, hornets, and wasps all build in different locations and behave differently when disturbed. Knowing which one you are dealing with is part of getting the job right.
Stinging insect populations build through the warmer months and can reach a size by midsummer that makes an early-season nest look small by comparison. Treatment timing matters. A nest addressed in spring requires less intervention than the same nest in August. If a nest has already been treated and activity continues, a follow-up visit targets what survived the initial application. We'll handle the pests so you don't have to.
A fly problem in a food-handling or commercial space is usually a sign that something nearby is attracting them, whether that is a waste area, a drain, or a gap that is letting them cycle in and out freely. Surface treatment alone does not solve it. We look at what is drawing them and treat the source, not just the visible population.
Rats in a crawl space are rarely just passing through. They are nesting, and the longer they are there, the more damage they do to insulation, wiring, and structural materials. We inspect the crawl space and the exterior entry points they are using, apply baiting and trapping appropriate to the situation, and identify what needs to be sealed to reduce how many can get back in. A crawl space that has had rat activity once is likely to see it again without follow-up.
Spiders move inside when the conditions outside change, and they concentrate near light sources, entry points, and anywhere insects are active. An interior spider treatment addresses the areas where they are most active, particularly along baseboards, in corners, and around window frames. Exterior perimeter treatment reduces the population working its way in. In this part of Tennessee, brown recluse spiders are the species that warrants the most attention when found indoors, particularly in basements and storage areas where they are not disturbed.
Boxelder bugs and cluster flies are seasonal invaders rather than year-round residents. They push into structures in fall looking for somewhere to overwinter, and they use the same gaps that other pests use. Exterior barrier treatment applied before the seasonal push begins reduces how many get inside. Interior treatment addresses those already in. Neither pest causes structural damage, but populations build fast once they are inside, and removing them without spreading the odor or mess they leave behind takes the right approach.
The size of the property, how far a problem has spread, and whether the situation calls for one visit or several are the three things that move a quote. A small infestation caught early costs less to treat than one that has been active for months and spread through multiple areas of the structure. A one-time visit is priced differently from a recurring plan, and both are explained on the call before anything is scheduled.
We provide honest recommendations on treatment, never an upsell. If the situation calls for a single visit, that is what we will tell you. If it calls for a follow-up, we explain why before you commit to anything. You get the rate on the phone, and what it covers is confirmed at the same time. Pest work here gets handled by people who answer to this community.
There is no pressure to commit to more than the property actually needs. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer. Start with the page covering our pest control services if you want the detail before the call.

We serve New Tazewell and the surrounding communities throughout Claiborne County, including Tazewell, Harrogate, Cumberland Gap, Rutledge, and Middlesborough. Residential and commercial properties across the area are covered, from single-family homes to rental properties to commercial buildings that need scheduled service built around their operating hours.
If you are in the area and unsure whether your address falls within our coverage, call and we will confirm it on the spot. The neighboring towns listed here are all covered, and properties between them are too.
Uncapped chimneys and open vents are common entry points for birds, bats, squirrels, and insects. Capping them is one of the more effective long-term steps for keeping pests from entering through the roofline.
Properties in this part of Claiborne County tend to see pressure from carpenter ants, rodents, stinging insects, and seasonal invaders like stink bugs and cluster flies, particularly on homes that back onto wooded ground or have older crawl spaces. Spiders and cockroaches come up year-round, and deer ticks are a concern for properties with wooded edges or overgrown yard borders. The specific mix depends on the property, and a call is the fastest way to work out what is driving the activity you are seeing.
Yes. Rental properties make up a regular part of the work we do in this area. Landlords get documentation of what was treated and when, and we handle the scheduling conversation with tenants directly where that is helpful. Whether the property is occupied or vacant, the approach is the same: identify what is active, treat the source, and set up a plan that reduces the chance of it coming back.
Most nests can be treated in one visit, though the approach depends on where the nest is located and how large it has grown. A nest inside a wall void or in a hard-to-reach space may require a follow-up to confirm the colony is no longer active.
Yes, pets should be kept out of areas being treated and away from treated surfaces until re-entry is appropriate. We go over what that looks like for your specific treatment when we confirm the visit.
Once somebody has looked at a property and identified where the activity is, the next step is a call. We scope the job, confirm the rate, and book the visit. You do not need to have the pest identified before you call. Describing what you are seeing and where is enough to get started, and we work out the rest on the inspection.
Call (423) 455-9642 between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM, any day of the week.
We will tell you what the job involves and what it costs before anything is scheduled.
Simple scheduling. Plain rates. Pests gone fast.

Not every pest problem calls for the same solution. Some properties need a single targeted visit to knock out an active infestation, while others benefit from scheduled service that keeps pressure off year-round. The plans below cover the range of situations we see in New Tazewell and Claiborne County, and the rate for any of them is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled.

| QuarterlyMost Popular | Year-round residential pest prevention | Every three months | AntsCockroachesSpidersMice and RatsAsian Lady Beetles | Four visits per year aligned with seasonal pest shifts. Each visit builds on the last and adjusts for what is active at that time of year in New Tazewell. |
| Rodent Control | Active mouse or rat problems in homes or commercial spaces | Initial visit plus follow-up as needed | Mice and Rats | Combines baiting, trapping, and entry-point inspection. Interior treatment is paired with a thorough check of how rodents are getting in, because treating inside without addressing entry points leaves the problem open. |
| Commercial / High-Traffic | Restaurants, warehouses, offices, and multi-unit buildings | Monthly or bi-monthly depending on property type | CockroachesFliesMice and RatsAntsSpiders | Treatment is scheduled around operating hours where possible. Property managers with multiple sites can coordinate recurring service across locations. |
