Brown Exterminating was founded in 1972, by C.B. Knox. From that time, we have grown to a company with 20 divisions, doing business in seven states, and we are still growing at a tremendous rate. We are experts at protecting structures from termite damage and maintaining pest free environments in homes and businesses. We are a service company, and our emphasis is to provide the highest-quality service to homes and businesses, for a fair and reasonable price. This is different than a lot of other pest control businesses, which are trying to do volume and/or quantity of work.
Termite inspection letters are required by the mortgage company underwriter before a new loan is issued for the sale of a house. The reason for this is that mortgage companies realize that termites cause billions of dollars in damage to structures every year, and they do not want to issue a loan on a house that has serious damage as the property value may be compromised. Brown Exterminating strives to deliver a professional inspection on every property we are paid to evaluate. A professional inspection includes visual inspection of every inch of every interior wall, baseboard, window frame, crown molding and doorframe, and in the instance of conventional or basement/ crawl space construction inspection of the underneath of the structure.
Wasps are a very common problem in the mid south. If you are seeing a lot of them around your home or business then they have made your home theirs as well. While they may build nests in areas that are visible to you, more often they get up under your shingles and make a nest in the soffit area of the structure where you will not be able to see the nests or even locate them if you try to. In order to effectively control them, it is important for you to be able to tell us exactly where they are coming in and out of the house.
Termites cause somewhere between 5 and 10 billion dollars in damage to structures annually. Memphis lies in the part of the country where most of this damage occurs, an area which is considered to be a very high pressure area with a lot of termite activity in comparison to other parts of the country. This is because we have a warm and temperate climate-we get on average over 50 inches of rain per year-and before anyone moved here in the early 1800s, this area was covered with forests. For millions of years, termites thrived here because of these conditions and an abundance of wood from the native trees.
If you've ever had the misfortune of running across a colony of fire ants, you already know they're no joke. Known for their venomous stings, fire ants are so called because the stinging sensation of their bite feels similar to burning. More than causing welts that can itch and hurt for days, fire ants can actually be deadly to allergy-sensitive individuals. Furthermore, fire ants love electricity and can cause serious structural damage to your home by chewing through cables. Every fire ant you run into could have hundreds if not thousands of friends in your yard or behind the walls, so if you spot any, it's crucial that you contact a pest control professional immediately.
More than just gnawing through your food and property, mice can pose a serious health risk, contaminating up to 10 times as much food as they eat. Mice can enter your home through an opening as small as a dime, and once they're inside, getting them out can be difficult without professional help. At Brown Exterminating Co., we are a full service exterminator specializing in rodent and mice control, and we are committed to providing best-in-class service and results. With an arsenal of state-of-the-art equipment and an expert team dedicated to your peace of mind, we have the tools to tackle any pest problem, big or small.
