Meet the owner
Meet Bay — Owner of Empirical Pest Control.
Bay Cravens is a Rockwood, TN native who grew up knowing the families, neighborhoods, and seasonal pest pressures that come with life in East Tennessee. After years of seeing local homeowners overcharged and pressured into long contracts, he started Empirical Pest Control with a simple mission: deliver honest, effective pest control to the families of Roane County.
What began as a one-truck operation in Rockwood has grown into a trusted name across Roane County and the surrounding communities. Bay personally handles inspections and treatments, taking the time to walk every property, identify entry points, and explain exactly what each home needs — no upsells, no scare tactics. Every service comes with the same standard he’d expect for his own family’s home.
From Rockwood to Kingston, Harriman, Oliver Springs, and beyond, Bay’s commitment hasn’t changed: protect the people of East Tennessee with science-backed treatments, transparent pricing, and the kind of neighborly service you can only get from someone who actually lives here.

East Tennessee bug library
10 common pests we can help treat.
From moisture-loving invaders to biting outdoor pests, these are the bugs homeowners around Rockwood and East Tennessee often call about.
House ants
Ants
Small trails can point to a larger colony nearby, especially around kitchens, foundations, mulch beds, and moisture sources.
Sanitation pest
Cockroaches
Roaches hide in warm cracks and appliance voids, so baiting and targeted crack-and-crevice work matter more than surface spraying.
Web builder
Spiders
Spider activity often increases where other insects are present, making web removal and reducing food sources part of control.
Wood destroyer
Termites
Subterranean termites can travel through hidden mud tubes and moist soil-to-wood contact before damage is obvious.
Outdoor biter
Mosquitoes
Standing water in buckets, gutters, planters, and low spots can create breeding sites around the areas families use most.
Yard risk
Ticks
Ticks wait in grass, brush, leaf litter, and shaded edges where people and pets pass through the yard.
Pet-area pest
Fleas
Flea eggs and larvae collect where pets rest, so interior treatment and pet-area attention often need to work together.
Moisture invader
Centipedes
Centipedes often show up in damp basements, bathrooms, crawl spaces, and garages where they hunt smaller insects.
Stinging insect
Wasps & yellowjackets
Nests can form under eaves, in wall voids, or in the ground, and activity usually rises during warm months.
Fall invader
Stink bugs
Brown marmorated stink bugs often gather on sunny exterior walls before trying to overwinter inside homes.
