Not a happy customer....we still have lots of ticks and we were sprayed in March. Called and we were told the rain must have washed it away and they rain may have came 10 days later. Will be using someone else hopefully they aren't as expensive. Dislike my 5 and 3 old having to get DE-ticked every time they come in. ...read more

We recently received a call at The Bug Man office from a customer who discovered termite damage in the vinyl lining of their swimming pool. “But termites eat wood,” you reply. “They don’t eat plastic. Why would they eat the liner?” Termites are able to sense when there is water on the other side of a pool liner. So, if they are desperate enough, they will eat through the liner to get to the water. The damage caused by termites to pool liners is often gradual. People may not suddenly notice it. However, they may see that their water gets a little low sometimes, yet think nothing of it. Eventually, they may also find tiny little holes in the pool liners. The tiny holes likely came from termites eating the lining to get to the water. Pools that don’t use liners are not immune to termite damage. Due to a number of factors, and the GIANT source of water, many pools are at risk. Closely related items in this conversation are hot tubs. They too are a source of water and are often covered with wood. In case you’re not that familiar with the lifestyle of a termite, their colonies are forever on the hunt for food and water. Many pools and spas are built with wooden framing at the bottom or underneath the vinyl. Lots of pools and spas have a wooden deck surrounding them. The combination of wood touching the ground and a huge source of water inside is quite dangerous. So what should you do if you had no idea that you needed to protect your pool and hot tub from a termite attack? Well, we recommend inspecting your pool and/or spa to check for damage. However, we cannot do a termite treatment or an inspection on a pool if it is full of water. We can only do an inspection and a treatment during the construction stage, or if the liner is being replaced. If you’re in the Rutherford and Wilson county areas of Middle Tennessee, we can come out for a free termite inspection. You can call us at 615.217.7284 or email us at service@thebugman.us. We would be happy to provide you with a free quote and a treatment plan. Your pool and hot tub are for your enjoyment. They are not meant to be a termite buffet. If you know somebody who has a pool or spa, please inform them that they may need termite protection. Lots of people are unaware that termites target pools and spas. It’s easy to share this article on Facebook, send out a quick tweet or email it to a friend or family member. For more information on termite protection offered by The Bug Man, visit our website.

One of the things we get asked most frequently here at The Bug Man is, “When you treat for bugs, will it hurt my pet?” This is a common question deserving of a clear answer. In short, when pest control products are prepared and applied properly according to label specifications, they will not hurt you, your family, or your pet. Join with us now in a sigh of relief and a smile of appreciation. And, please read on to learn more. The Bug Mantakes great care in following the safety and application instructions for the products that we use. We measure the amount of product necessary for each pest control service and apply it specifically to a targeted area. We do not spray your home or workplace frivolously. There are some instances where we must use a technique called fogging, but that’s the exception, not the rule. Also, on the service tickets for our customers, we note how much of each product we apply. In some treatment situations, we will request that pets and people vacate the premises for a particular period of time. This is generally only required for flea and bed bug treatments. Most other times, Felix and Fido can stay cozy on the couch. We are aQuality Procompany. What that means is that we adhere to certain guidelines: * Employee background checks * Drug-free workplace * Our technicians wear uniforms * Customer service * Stewarding the environment through following directions on product labels, applying products properly and disposing of products safely We love information and education atThe Bug Man. If you have any questions aboutblogs, bugs or anything else, please, let us know. You can post questions and comments on ourblog,FacebookorTwitter. Or you can call us at 615.217.7284. ...read more
