The overall tick population in Tennessee has also been climbing upward in the last several years. Given the prevalence of ticks in wooded and brushy areas, it’s particularly essential for residents in West Knoxville who enjoy outdoor activities to be diligent with tick control.
When is tick season in Tennessee?

For 8 years we have been battling the mosquito. We have stayed in many beautiful evenings because of the pests. For the first time this year, after one application by Mosquito Joe, we have enjoyed every night this summer sitting on our deck. What a great service!
Mosquito Joe delivered exactly what they promised. My family and I can actually enjoy our yard and pool area comfortably.
It actually works!! I was skeptical at first. The mosquitoes are so bad here, but not since we've had this service. My neighbors also signed up because they noticed that we had no mosquitoes.
Friendly and professional staff. I have used Mosquito Joe for three years and have been able to enjoy my backyard again.
