Last October, I purchased a new home. As a condition of the mortgage, a termite inspection was performed finding no problems. However, as a matter of routine and living in the south, I find it prudent to engage a pest control specialist once or twice a year just to keep things in check. As I am busy mom with limited time off, I tend to schedule multiple vendors for service on the same day. I knew I had this Friday off for the dentist so pest control was scheduled about two weeks in advance. My appointment was for noon and the technician, Steve Johnson, showed up right on time. I already knew the cost for a one-time general service call when I made the appointment. Mr. Johnson introduced himself and gathered my input on any problems and he commenced his task. He sprayed the exterior base of the house and then, after donning protective booties, went inside to complete his mission. Upon conclusion, he reported no problem areas and said the only thing he really found were some spiders which apparently are normal in this area - particularly since the summer flooding in middle Tennessee.
