Hohenwald Pest Control — Protecting Lewis County Homes & Farms for 40+ Years
Family-owned pest protection for Hohenwald and rural Lewis County — for over 40 years.
Hohenwald, whose German name means “High Forest,” is the seat of Lewis County and sits seven miles west of the Natchez Trace Parkway, the historic route where Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition died and was buried in 1809, now marked by the Meriwether Lewis National Monument. The town grew from German and Swiss immigrant settlements in the late 1800s, and its restored 1896 depot still stands downtown alongside the Lewis County Museum’s collection of local and natural history. The surrounding countryside is rolling hardwood forest, farmland, and bottomland along pristine streams, terrain dense enough that Lewis County is also home to the country’s largest natural-habitat refuge for elephants on more than 3,000 forested acres just outside town. That mix, dense hardwood forest, working farmland, and a historic timber-and-rail town center, is what shapes local pest pressure differently from a suburban service area. For more than 40 years, our family-owned team has protected Hohenwald homes and farms, from downtown out toward Summertown, Hampshire, and Linden.
Being a rural county seat surrounded by hardwood forest and working farmland shapes which pests show up and where. Here’s what we see most in Hohenwald homes and farms:
Agricultural Pests
Grain, feed & farm storage pests
Lewis County’s farm economy means grain bins, feed storage, and barns are part of daily life on many properties, and that kind of stored product draws insects and rodents that a purely residential lot wouldn’t see. We treat storage areas and outbuildings as part of the property, not as an afterthought.
Rodents
Rodents moving in from field & farm
Mice move readily between fields, barns, and nearby homes throughout rural Lewis County, especially as temperatures cool. Older farmhouses with gaps around foundations and utility lines give them easy entry. We seal those entry points and treat the interior together, not one without the other, with our rodent control program.
Termites
Termites in historic & farmhouse construction
Hohenwald’s historic downtown, including buildings dating back to the 1890s German and Swiss settlement era, along with farmhouses scattered across the county, are exactly the kind of aging wood-frame construction subterranean termites target. They swarm in spring (typically March through May) and feed year-round below grade. An annual inspection and a monitored barrier matter especially for structures this old.
Ticks & Mosquitoes
Ticks & mosquitoes from forest & bottomland streams
Lewis County’s dense hardwood forest and the bottomland streams that run through it give ticks and mosquitoes plenty of habitat. Ticks ride in on pets and pant cuffs after time in tall grass or brush, while low, shaded spots near streams breed mosquitoes after rain. Our program treats the yard, tree line, and outbuildings, not just the porch.
Household Pests
Ants, spiders & everyday household pests
Like any rural Tennessee town, Hohenwald sees a steady baseline of ants, spiders, and other household invaders working their way in around foundations and doorways. We treat the entry points as well as the interior, so the fix actually lasts.
Rodents
The fall rodent push
As temperatures drop from September into November, mice move off fields and forest edges and into garages, crawlspaces, barns, and attics looking for a warm winter home. Sealing entry points before the first cold snap is far easier than evicting an established rodent population in January.
Your Hohenwald Pest Calendar
What to expect through the year around Hohenwald and the Lewis County countryside — and when to act:
Spring
(Mar–May)
Termite swarms begin around historic downtown and farmhouse construction, and the season’s first mosquitoes hatch along bottomland streams. Best window for a termite inspection.
Summer
(Jun–Aug)
Ticks and mosquitoes peak in the forest and along streams; wasp and yellowjacket nests grow large in barns and around porches; stored-product pests remain active in grain and feed storage.
Fall
(Sep–Nov)
Rodents move off fields and forest edges and into barns and homes ahead of winter. Prime time to seal up.
Winter
(Dec–Feb)
Rodents settle into barns, attics, and crawlspaces; overwintering pests hide in wall voids. The quiet season to plan exclusion and lock in termite protection.

Daniel is great. While he was there we noticed a large swarm of wasps on the house and he immediately took care of it. It was way up high on the second story roof. Also, no signs of mice in the past month. We are pleased.
