Smyrna Pest Control — Protecting Tennessee’s Largest Town for 40+ Years
Family-owned pest protection where historic farmland meets one of the largest auto plants in the state — for over 40 years.
Smyrna became Tennessee’s largest town by population in the 2020 census, and it’s built where the Stones River and Stewarts Creek meet, with a slice of Percy Priest Lake even reaching into town limits. The 1820 Sam Davis Home still stands on 160 acres of farmland along Stewarts Creek, a National Register site tied to the Confederate scout known as the “Boy Hero of the Confederacy,” while modern Smyrna runs on an entirely different scale of industry: the Nissan North America plant here employs around 8,400 workers, covers 5.2 million square feet, and can build 640,000 vehicles a year, and the Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport is Tennessee’s busiest general aviation field. That mix, historic farmland along the creek, a major automotive manufacturing plant, and rapid suburban growth, is what makes Smyrna’s pest pressure different from a straightforward bedroom community. For more than 40 years, our family-owned team has protected Smyrna homes and businesses, from Sam Davis Road out toward La Vergne, Nolensville, and Murfreesboro.
Being home to both historic farmland and one of the largest manufacturing plants in the state shapes which pests show up and where. Here’s what we see most in Smyrna homes and businesses:
Historic Termites
Termites in historic farmhouse construction
Homes and structures tied to Smyrna’s early farming era, in the tradition of sites like the Sam Davis Home along Stewarts Creek, 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 the area’s older homes.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes from the river, creek & lake
With the Stones River, Stewarts Creek, and a portion of Percy Priest Lake all within Smyrna’s town limits, mosquitoes have constant breeding water close to many homes. Our mosquito program targets breeding and resting sites across the property, not just the patio.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Manufacturing & industrial facility pest control
The Nissan North America plant and its surrounding supplier network bring real warehouse and factory pest pressure to Smyrna, along with the airport and other industrial operations nearby. We provide commercial pest programs for warehouses and factories built around production schedules, not disruption.
Riverfront Rodents
Rodents from riverfront & creekside tree lines
Properties along the Stones River or Stewarts Creek see more rodent pressure from the tree line than a home set back from the water. Mice and rats move from bordering woods into garages, crawlspaces, and outbuildings looking for shelter, and we seal entry points with that reality in mind.
Seasonal Rodents
The fall rodent push
As temperatures drop from September into November, mice and rats move off the riverbank, creek edges, and open farmland and into garages, crawlspaces, and attics looking for a warm winter home. Sealing entry points before the first cold snap is far easier than evicting an established population in January.
Your Smyrna Pest Calendar
What to expect through the year across Smyrna’s farmland, waterways, and industrial corridor — and when to act:
Spring
(Mar–May)
Termite swarms begin around historic farmhouse construction, and the season’s first mosquitoes hatch along the Stones River, Stewarts Creek, and Percy Priest Lake. Best window for a termite inspection.
Summer
(Jun–Aug)
Mosquitoes peak along the river, creek, and lake; wasp and yellowjacket nests grow large on decks and eaves; ant and rodent pressure builds around manufacturing and warehouse facilities.
Fall
(Sep–Nov)
Rodents move off the riverbank, creek edges, and open farmland and into homes and businesses ahead of winter. Prime time to seal up.
Winter
(Dec–Feb)
Rodents settle into attics, crawlspaces, and building voids; overwintering pests hide indoors. The quiet season to plan exclusion and lock in termite protection.

We started using U.S. Pest to help control summer mosquitoes which made it miserable to be outside on our patio. The regular spraying has helped significantly. Philip has been great in communicating his visits to us and answering questions.
