Pest control for homes and businesses across metro Atlanta

Customized Pest Control Solutions
A wooded acre and a slab-foundation subdivision home need different work. In metro Atlanta we quote after walking the property rather than from a price list, so what gets applied follows what the inspection actually finds.

Most treatments are one visit plus a check. If anything is still active when we come back to your metro Atlanta property, we treat it again - that return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
Call Us NowGeorgia homes deal with three ants that matter. Odorous house ants are the small dark ones that trail across counters and smell faintly of coconut when crushed. Argentine ants form enormous connected colonies and are the usual cause of a trail that reappears days after spraying. Carpenter ants are the largest and the only ones that damage structures, excavating galleries in damp or decaying timber.
All three are social insects with a nest that may sit well away from where you see them. This is why surface sprays fail: killing foragers removes perhaps two per cent of the colony while the queen keeps producing replacements.
A single ant treatment in metro Atlanta typically runs $150 to $300, depending on property size and how far the colony has spread. Carpenter ant work sits at the higher end because it usually involves locating nests inside structural timber and may need more than one visit.
Ongoing quarterly plans generally cost less per visit than one-off callouts and cover ants alongside other seasonal pests. We quote after inspecting, not over the phone, because the species and the nest location change the work more than the square footage does.

FAQ
Spraying a trail kills the foragers you can see and leaves the nest producing more. Worse, a repellent spray can cause some species to split the colony into several satellite nests, which turns one problem into several. Baiting works the other way round: foragers carry it back and feed the queen, so the colony dies out rather than relocating.
Baiting looks slower than spraying for the first few days because the foragers have to carry it back to the nest. That delay is the point. Most homes see a clear reduction within one to two weeks and full control after the follow-up visit.
No. Interior treatments are low-odour and dry within about an hour, and you and your pets can stay home throughout. We tell you the re-entry time for any treated room before we start.
Carpenter ants excavate galleries in damp structural timber rather than eating it, so they are a building problem rather than a nuisance one. They need a different treatment from Argentine or odorous house ants, which is why we identify the species before choosing an approach.
Please do not. The trail shows us where they are entering and which direction the nest is in, and wiping it away removes the most useful evidence on the property. Leave it and we will follow it back.
Most jobs are one treatment plus a follow-up visit to confirm the colony is gone and to treat any satellite nests that show up afterwards. That return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
