This city has more Old Hickory Lake shoreline than any other community on the water, and homes here range from affordable mid-century properties to large contemporary builds. Standing water near the shoreline gives mosquitoes plenty of chances to breed through the warmer months, and older mid-century homes tend to have more of the small gaps and aging siding rodents look for once the weather cools. A property right on the water deals with a different pest picture than one a few streets back in an older neighborhood.
Whether your home sits right on the water or a few streets back, here's what sets Go-Forth Home Services apart:
Award-winning service technicians
A+ Rating with the BBB

Professional service backed by over 60 years of experience
These are the standards our technicians bring to every visit, whether it's a first-time inspection or an ongoing service plan.

Residential Pest Control
A lakefront property and a mid-century home a few streets back face different pest pressures, which is why Go-Forth Home Services builds a plan around your property instead of a one-size-fits-all spray. Beyond mosquitoes and rodents, our general service also covers ants, termites, spiders, fleas, ticks, bed bugs, and stinging insects, so a single plan handles whatever a property runs into throughout the year. Every treatment uses EPA-approved products safe for kids and pets.
To keep coverage steady all year, we offer a few different service plans:
The Basic: Every quarter, we treat your home's exterior for ants, spiders, and rodents. Want indoor coverage too? Just ask.
My Elite: Bi-monthly visits that expand coverage to stinging insects, include interior treatment every time, and come with priority scheduling.
My Elite Plus: Our most comprehensive plan — ongoing protection against mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, ornamental pests, and fire ants.
Four Ways To Reduce Mosquito Activity On Your Property
A lakefront lot holds onto moisture longer than a property farther from the water, and mosquitoes only need a small amount of standing water to complete their breeding cycle. A few changes make a real difference:
Empty or turn over anything that collects water after rain, including buckets, planters, and low spots in the yard
Clean out gutters regularly so water doesn't pool and sit
Keep shoreline grass and brush trimmed back, since mosquitoes rest in shaded, overgrown areas during the day
Check docks, boat covers, and outdoor equipment for water collecting in folds or low spots
Mosquito populations rebuild quickly once breeding sites go untreated, so a one-time spray rarely solves the problem for a full season on a lakefront lot. Go-Forth Home Services technicians target breeding sites directly and treat the areas where mosquitoes rest, whether a property has direct shoreline access or sits a few streets back.
Mid-century homes have had decades to develop the small gaps around foundations, utility lines, and aging siding that mice and rats look for, especially as cooler weather pushes them to seek shelter indoors. A home built decades ago tends to show more of these entry points than a newer contemporary build closer to the water. Look for these warning signs:
Small, dark droppings near pantries, cabinets, or along baseboards
Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, attics, or crawl spaces
Chewed wiring, insulation, or cardboard packaging
Greasy rub marks along walls where rodents travel repeatedly
A musty odor in enclosed spaces like closets or basements
Rodents multiply fast once they find a reliable food and shelter source, so a small problem rarely stays small for long, whether a home sits on the water or a few blocks back. Go-Forth Home Services technicians seal entry points and set up ongoing monitoring so a rodent issue doesn't come back season after season, no matter which part of town a property sits in.

I'm very grateful that I found this company today!
“Amazing response time, reasonable prices, great customer service. Tevin was thorough and confident in his plan to fix our horrendous fire ant problem. We have had negative experiences with prior exterminators and probably waited way too long to call Go-For”

Great service with excellent solutions for any of our needs.
“We have been customers for almost 7 years for a reason. Our technician is the best. He always knows exactly how to address whatever pest has decided to bother us. We have referred them to many of our neighbors. Well worth the cost not to have to worry abou”
