Ticks don’t just live in tall grass — they often climb onto shrubs, low branches, and brush where they wait for animals or people to pass by.

Because our mosquito treatments target those same areas around your property, they can also help reduce tick activity around cabins, yards, and outdoor spaces here in East Tennessee.

Carpenter bees and bumble bees look similar at first glance — but there’s a key difference. 🐝

Carpenter bees have a shiny, hairless abdomen and drill into wood to create nesting tunnels.
Bumble bees are fuzzy all over and typically nest in small underground colonies.

Both are pollinators — but only one is interested in your porch.

🌿 Hello, Spring in the Smokies 🌿

Longer days, warmer air, and everything starting to wake up again—spring has officially arrived in East Tennessee.

It’s a beautiful time of year… but it’s also when pests start moving too.

At Fortify Pest Solutions, we’re already seeing increased activity in and around cabins as insects come out of winter hiding. The good news? A little prevention now goes a long way toward keeping your home or rental comfortable all season.

Our treatments are designed specifically for the Smoky Mountain environment—so you can enjoy spring without the unwanted extras.

And as always, every service helps support a local nonprofit partner right here in our community.

Ticks are arachnids… even when they only have 6 legs. 🕷️
American dog tick larvae start with 6 legs, but they’re still part of the arachnid family.
If ticks are making themselves at home where they shouldn’t, Fortify can help!

Ladies tea party, but these ladies bite!
Only female mosquitoes bite and drink blood so they can lay their eggs, and can repeat the cycle multiple times.
If mosquitoes become uninvited guests at your garden party, Fortify's Mosquito Magic service starts in May.

Ants don’t have eyelids and don’t sleep like humans do. Instead, they take short rest breaks throughout the day — meaning they’re almost always on the move.

That constant activity is why ants are so good at finding food, water, and shelter. If you have ants after your resources call Fortify at 865-500-5656

It's true! One single mouse can leave behind 50–75 droppings every day as it moves through a space. That’s a lot of contamination from just one small pest.

Seeing droppings usually means a mouse has already been active for a while — not just passing through.

If you suspect you have a mouse in your house, call us at 865-500-5656
