About Bartlett, TN – History and Modern Suburban Expansion

Bartlett, Tennessee originally began as a small farming community and railroad depot during the 1800s. Originally called “Union Depot,” the town sat on a major rail line running between Memphis and Nashville, serving as an agricultural hub, rest stop, and trading stop for travelers and farmers across West Tennessee.

Over time, Bartlett transitioned from a rural station town into one of the largest suburban cities in Shelby County. With strong schools, established neighborhoods, parks, and community development, Bartlett has grown into a major residential anchor for the Memphis Metro area.

But with residential expansion, aging neighborhoods, dense tree coverage, and the humid Mid-South climate, Bartlett homeowners face consistent challenges from termites, mosquitoes, yard pests, and aggressive seasonal weeds. As the city continues to grow, older homes and new constructions alike deal with yearly pest cycles that thrive in the region’s warm environment.

All-State Pest & Lawn has proudly served the Mid-South since 1943, providing proven pest and lawn solutions that protect Bartlett families, homes, lawns, and businesses.

Historic & Modern Pest Pressure in Bartlett, TN

Termites in Older & Newer Bartlett Neighborhoods

Bartlett’s mix of older neighborhoods, established tree lines, and new suburban development makes it a termite hotspot. Homes built decades ago often lack modern pre-treatments, and new construction spreads into previously wooded or undisturbed soil where termites naturally thrive.


Mosquito Density Around Parks & Residential Areas

With Bartlett’s many parks, creeks, drainage easements, and shaded backyards, mosquito populations soar during spring, summer, and fall.


Weed Cycles Driven by Seasonal Climate

Bartlett lawns face heavy pressure year-round due to:

  • Warm, humid summers (crabgrass, nutsedge)
  • Cool, wet winters (Poa annua, henbit)
  • Rental and vacant homes with neglected yards (weed spread to neighbors)

Pest Control FAQ

Do you have questions or worries about pest control services?  Most people do.  I want to cover a few of the frequently asked questions that come to mind.

Why do I need a pest control professional?
The pest management professional relies on pesticide application as just one part of a total pest management program. The untrained consumer, who purchases a pesticide over the counter, can only make an intuitive judgment on how to properly apply the pesticide. However, the pest management professional relies on training, expertise, and more sophisticated techniques to manage pests in an environmentally friendly manner.

How much does pest control service cost?
Because each home is unique in its pest control needs, please call so we can give you an accurate estimate. Many people are surprised at how affordable professional pest service can be.

What insects are covered by the general pest service?
Spiders, crickets, ants, roaches, silverfish, and mice are generally covered under routine general pest control service. Biting, stinging, and flying insects require different and often difficult treatment strategies and thus are charged accordingly.

How long will it take before I see results?
It depends on the pest and severity of infestation. Generally, you will see a reduction in pest activity immediately after our first visit, in some cases, such as German Roaches, it may take several visits.

How long will the treatment take?
Different pest problems require different methods and products. Moisture, sanitation, and environmental conditions can all affect how long a treatment may last. Most interior applications can be performed in less than 1 hour.

Are these products dangerous to kids and pets?
All professional pest control products have been registered for use by the EPA. When they are applied according to label instructions by technicians who have been trained and licensed to use them, they pose virtually no risk.

Do I have to leave my house during a service?

No, usually not. However, during certain types of services such as flea and tick treatments, it’s better if all occupants leave the home for a period. Our helpful and knowledgeable staff will direct you on the specifications of each treatment.

When you come to service my home, where will you treat?
First and foremost, our technician will inspect your property and advise you of their findings as well as a strategic plan for managing the pest problems. From that point, the technician will make applications to the areas where insects live and hide, as well as applying a barrier around the exterior of your home such as the  base of your home.
