Protecting McMinn County homes and businesses. Just 18 miles from our Cleveland HQ on US-11. Licensed, insured, and satisfaction guaranteed.
Athens is the seat of McMinn County — a community of around 14,000 residents with a mix of historic downtown homes, newer subdivisions, and rural properties along the Hiwassee River corridor. That geography creates year-round pest pressure that OnGuard knows well.
OnGuard Pest Solutions is based in Cleveland, just 18 miles away on US-11. When you call (423) 458-0021, you get a local technician dispatched the same day — not a franchise scheduler 200 miles away.
Pest pressure in Athens shifts with the seasons. Our every-other-month maintenance plan keeps you covered year-round:
| Season | Peak Pests | What We Do |
|---|---|---|
| Spring (Mar–May) | Ants, termite swarmers, mosquitoes emerge | Perimeter treatment, ant baiting, mosquito yard spray |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | Mosquitoes peak, wasps, roaches seek cool indoors | Bi-monthly maintenance, wasp nest removal, interior spot treatment |
| Fall (Sep–Nov) | Rodents invade for warmth, spiders move indoors | Rodent exclusion, spider treatment, seal entry points |
| Winter (Dec–Feb) | Mice & rats active inside, German cockroaches | Rodent trapping, interior perimeter treatment, monitoring stations |
Every-Other-Month Maintenance — Our most popular plan. Technician visits every 2 months to treat the exterior perimeter, address any new pest activity, and re-treat interior free of charge if pests return between visits. Starting at $70/month after the initial treatment.
One-Time Treatments — Targeted treatment for a specific pest. Great for one-off infestations. We'll quote you on the spot.
Rodent Protection Add-On — Combines monitoring stations, exclusion work, and trapping for homes with active or recurring rodent pressure.
Termite Inspection & Treatment — Free inspections for Athens-area homeowners. If we find evidence of activity, we provide a no-obligation treatment quote on the spot.
