Critter Control Opens New Tennessee Franchise

TL;DR

Critter Control has opened a new franchise location in Cookeville, Tennessee, co-owned by Erica and Earl Hull. The franchise provides nuisance wildlife and pest control services across 11 Tennessee counties.

Critter Control announced the opening of its newest franchise location, Critter Control of Cookeville, which is co-owned and co-operated by area residents Erica Hull and her husband Earl Hull, a United States military veteran.

The franchise provides full nuisance wildlife and pest control services to Tennessee's Clay, Cumberland, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Van Buren, Warren and White counties.

Joe Felegi, general manager of Critter Control, said Tennessee's heat drives wildlife inside homes to cool off and find food, making the market ideal for wildlife services.

> Erica and Earl have lived in the area for nearly a decade; they know the landscape and how the local wildlife operates within it. They’re perfectly suited to successfully help their community with wildlife removal assistance. We’re thrilled to have them as part of the Critter Control family.
