Recent cold weather brought more bugs into homes, pest control services busy

By MONA NAIR 6 News Reporter

KNOXVILLE (WATE) If you've seen more bugs around the house the last few days, you aren't alone in East Tennessee.

The up and down temperatures have local pest control companies busy.

When the snow came down earlier this week, a lot of us took cover, indoors, in the heat.

And apparently, bugs in the area did the same thing.

Knoxville resident Jeannie Johnson was one of many not happy to find creatures crawling around her house.

"When the weather changed, we had a lot of ladybugs, stink bugs, and those insects with many little legs come in," Johnson explained.

Spencer Foster works at Russell's Pest Control. The recent weather cocktail has him super-busy. Thursday evening, he was spraying Johnson's home.

"Now is the perfect time for these insects to start making a new home," he said.

And what better home, than your home? Especially if the insects are already there for a visit. So what do you do?
