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 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 Atlanta property, we treat it again - that return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
Call Us NowOlder intown buildings converted to apartments give bed bugs more connection between units than purpose-built blocks do. Balloon-framed cavities, original service runs and floor voids that were never designed as separations mean a population is rarely confined to the unit it is reported in.
Construction also affects treatment itself. Deep skirting, picture rails, plaster on lath and original floorboards provide far more harborage than a modern plasterboard interior, so inspection takes longer and treatment has to reach more places. That is worth knowing when comparing quotes: a price that looks low for an older intown property may be for a job that will not reach the harborage it needs to. Preparation is also more involved, and it is better to hear that before booking than on the day.
| What | When it comes up here | What you notice first |
|---|---|---|
| Adult bed bug | Year round | Flat, oval, apple-pip sized, reddish brown, usually found rather than seen moving |
| Signs before insects | Year round | Dark spotting along mattress seams and bed frame joints, shed skins in the same places |
| Balloon-framed cavities and floor voids | Year round | Movement between units in converted buildings |
| Deep skirting, rails and floorboards | Year round | Far more harborage than modern interiors |
| Original service runs | Year round | Connection where no separation was designed |
Most of our work in Atlanta is residential, and treatment is scheduled around your family rather than around us. Residential pest control
Commercial work is scheduled around your trading hours and documented after every visit, which is what an inspector or auditor asks for. Commercial pest control
Bed bugs live indoors and breed year round, so there is no season in the way there is for outdoor pests.
Reports rise after school holidays and the summer travel period, which is when they are carried home.
A second rise follows the winter holidays, for the same reason.
An untreated population does not die back over any part of the year.
Converted buildings rarely separate units the way purpose-built blocks do.
On older intown property a low price often means a job that will not reach the harborage.
It is, and on this kind of interior more so. Better to know in advance than on the day.

FAQ
Because it offers more harborage and more connection. Deep skirting, picture rails, plaster on lath and original floorboards give far more places to hide than a modern interior, and balloon-framed cavities and original service runs let a population move between units that were never properly separated.
More than most people expect, and it is better said now than on the day. Laundering and bagging bedding and clothing, clearing access around beds and furniture, and not moving items between rooms in the meantime, since that is the commonest way a contained problem is spread through a home.
Atlanta spans Fulton and DeKalb counties, and the relevant county environmental health department handles public health complaints for your address. Structural pest control licensing is separate and administered at state level by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
No. Bed bugs are carried in on luggage and belongings and do equally well in spotless homes. It is worth saying plainly, because embarrassment is the main reason people wait, and waiting is what makes it harder to treat.
