About Oak Grove
Oak Grove is a home rule-class city on the Kentucky-Tennessee border in Christian County, with Interstate 24 as its northeast boundary, according to the city. Census figures put its 2025 population at 7,830. Its name comes from the oak trees near the original town site.
The city describes easy access to Clarksville, but the state line matters when it comes to pest control licensing.
Kentucky rules, not Tennessee's
The Kentucky Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control Branch licenses pest control companies working in Kentucky. All commercial companies must have an operator's license and be registered, and applicators must be certified. Consumers can file a complaint with the branch at 1-866-289-0001.
If a company based in Clarksville quotes you, ask whether it holds a Kentucky license for work at your address. The Tennessee charter rules in the guides on this site don't apply to an Oak Grove home.
What people call about here
Subterranean termites are serious pests of buildings in Kentucky too. University of Kentucky entomologists say infestations are often discovered in spring, when swarmers appear, and that a termite inspection report is normally a condition of a home sale.
Brown recluse spiders are also part of life here. The same department says infestations in Kentucky get more common as you travel west, and Christian County is in the western part of the state. They often turn up in garages, basements, crawl spaces, stored boxes and woodpiles.
