Knoxville Pest Control
Children, Asthma and Health Risks Due to Pests in the Home
Studies specifically show that poor bug control can cause serious health issues. A report in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that cockroaches and mice contribute to asthma in children. Half a million people end up in the emergency room annually due to problems that could be avoided with proper Knoxville pest control, including stings, bites, asthma attacks, West Nile virus, Hantavirus, lime disease and more.

Scientific Integrated Pest Management Solutions. Here is how it works:
Integrated Pest Management
We evaluate the true extent of the pest infestation and customize a treatment plan for your specific needs. Random application of pesticides is avoided to better protect your family.
Non-Chemical Monitors
We place pest control monitors when necessary in pest prone locations throughout your home to help pinpoint the "hot spots" of pest activity for the most effective bug control.
Carefully Targeted Application
We emphasize thorough inspections. Since a responsible pest management program can't be developed without determining exactly what and where the pest problem is, we inspect the homes for pest problems and reach them at the source of their nests.
Prevention Measures
We apply a protective barrier to the outside of your home to keep out pest invaders. Pest-Ops’ goal is to solve your Knoxville pest problem while minimizing the amount of pesticides placed in and around your home.
