Building a home is one of the most exciting—and let’s be honest, sometimes stressful—things you’ll ever do. From choosing the layout and finishes to thinking about the future memories you’ll make there, it’s a big deal. And when you're putting so much time, energy, and money into building your dream home, you want to make sure it’s protected from the very start.
That’s why pest control during the construction phase isn’t just a smart idea—it’s a game-changer. It helps ensure your home stays strong, safe, and pest-free for years to come.
Let’s dive into how All-American Pest Control’s Builder Program works and why it’s been such a success for builders like Jimmie Johnson of Landon Development.
Meet Jimmie Johnson from Landon Development
Jimmie Johnson is the owner and operator of Landon Development Group, a Nashville-based company that specializes in building custom luxury homes. Jimmie first came to Nashville during college, and like many in the construction world, he got his start by investing in rental properties and fixing them up himself.
Today, he’s a board member of the Middle Tennessee Home Builders Association, and over the years, he’s built a strong reputation for quality and care. Jimmie first connected with All-American Pest Control back in 2014 when he started his business, and he’s been a key partner in our Builder Program ever since.
With more than a decade of experience under his belt, Jimmie knows just how important pest control is in the construction process—not just for peace of mind, but also for smoother closings and happier homeowners.
Why Pest Control Should Start Before You Move In
Living in Tennessee means pests are just a part of life. It doesn’t matter if it’s hot, cold, rainy, or dry—there’s always something crawling around. Many people wait until they see bugs in the house to call for help, but Jimmie and the All-American team know there’s a better way: stop pests before they ever get inside.
That’s exactly what the Builder Program is all about. It includes termite protection and one free pest control service, literally protecting you from the ground up. Termites are especially common in our area and can do major damage if left unchecked. By setting up a termite plan during the construction phase, your home is protected from day one.
Jimmie has even used All-American’s services for his own home. After spotting ants, he called us, and one of our technicians was out quickly to take care of the issue. That’s the kind of fast, friendly, and effective service we pride ourselves on.
Making the Building Process Easier for Everyone
For Jimmie, partnering with All-American Pest Control is a no-brainer. Termite protection is required by many lenders, and the risk of damage from termites is just too high to ignore, especially in Middle Tennessee.
So, he includes All-American in every new build.
“[The Builder Program] is very easy to manage because [All-American does] such a good job of doing the yearly follow-ups. Basically, it's on autopilot so [customers] don't have to think about it or worry about it.”
And for homeowners who are worried that pest control might slow down construction or delay their closing—don’t worry. The pest control steps are quick and easy, usually done after final grading and landscaping are complete. It doesn’t add any extra time to the build.
In fact, Jimmie shared a great story about how All-American actually saved a closing. A buyer was nearing their closing date and hadn’t yet had a termite inspection or the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System installed—both required by the lender.
“We were able to call [All-American] in an emergency situation and get the Sentricon System installed quickly to prevent us from missing a closing on the property. Being able to have the termite letter and submit it to the lender saved the day.”
Jimmie’s Advice to Other Builders
If you’re a builder wondering whether the Builder Program is worth it, Jimmie has a clear answer:
“It’s so seamless; to me it would be crazy not to do it. Essentially, it’s a phone call and it’s done. It takes a lot of the worry and concern off the plate of me as a builder, especially when it gets close to closing because you have a million different things going on… That’s one less thing that I have to worry about because it’s so seamless. I would highly recommend that every builder be involved with the Builder Program.”
