• ◆Droppings – Small pellets near food storage, cabinets, or along walls indicating rodent or insect activity.
• ◆Mud tubes – Pencil-width tunnels along foundation walls or crawl spaces — a primary indicator of subterranean termite activity.
• ◆Gnaw marks – Chewed wires, wood framing, or food packaging typically indicating rodent activity.
• ◆Unusual odors – Musty smells from cockroach infestations or ammonia-like odors from rodent urine.
• ◆Swarmers – Winged termites or ants emerging indoors, especially in spring, signal an active colony nearby.
• ◆Structural damage – Hollowed or damaged wood indicating termite activity — often discovered during renovations of older homes.

Early Detection Matters: If you notice any of these signs in your Franklin property, contact EcoGuard immediately. Early intervention prevents small problems from becoming major infestations and saves you time, money, and stress.

• ◆Seal Entry Points: Inspect your property's exterior and seal openings larger than a quarter-inch with caulk, steel wool, or hardware cloth.
• ◆Control Moisture: Fix leaky faucets, ensure proper drainage around foundations, and address crawl space moisture — Tennessee's humidity amplifies pest problems significantly.
• ◆Eliminate Standing Water: Empty bird baths, clean gutters, and address low spots in your yard to eliminate mosquito breeding sites.
• ◆Store Firewood Away from the Home: Firewood stacked against the house provides ideal harborage for termites, carpenter ants, and rodents. Store wood at least 20 feet from your home.
• ◆Maintain Landscaping: Keep shrubs and tree branches trimmed away from your home's exterior to eliminate pest access points.
• ◆Schedule Regular Inspections: Tennessee's year-round pest activity warrants regular professional inspections. Quarterly service is strongly recommended.
