Customized Pest Control Solutions
A wooded acre and a slab-foundation subdivision home need different work. In Lawrenceville 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 Lawrenceville property, we treat it again - that return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
Call Us NowLawrenceville produces both cockroach problems, and which one you have depends on where in the city you are. Around the old square, older housing with crawlspaces, original drain connections and sometimes shared walls gives smokybrown harborage under the floor and American cockroach a route up through the drainage. Rental conversions in that stock can also carry German cockroach in shared structure.
Newer subdivision a mile out is almost entirely smokybrown from irrigated mulch beds against the foundation. That distinction decides everything about the job. German cockroach needs a planned sequence of visits and access to the building; smokybrown needs landscaping and exclusion work and no indoor treatment at all. Identifying which is present before quoting is the difference between a job that works and one that annoys everybody.

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
German cockroach is an indoor animal and its activity does not follow the weather outdoors.
Smokybrown and American activity builds from May and peaks in the humidity of July and August.
Autumn cooling drives outdoor species indoors, which is when most first sightings are reported.
An indoor population survives winter comfortably, so a problem left over the cold months does not resolve itself.
Two Lawrenceville properties a mile apart can have different species needing opposite approaches.
That is German cockroach and a building-level problem rather than a garden one.
That is smokybrown from outside, which does not call for an indoor programme at all.
What our customers say
FAQ
Size and number. Small cockroaches seen in numbers in a kitchen or bathroom are German, which lives indoors and needs a planned sequence of visits. A single large one near a door or in a bathroom is smokybrown or American, which lives outside or in drainage. The approaches are opposite.
Most likely because you have different species. Lawrenceville spans enough building ages that two houses a mile apart can genuinely have different problems, and a programme aimed at one does very little against the other.
Lawrenceville sits in Gwinnett County, but structural pest control licensing in Georgia is administered at state level by the Georgia Department of Agriculture rather than by the county. County environmental health handles public health reporting locally.
Yes, and it matters more here than almost anywhere. Quoting a German cockroach programme for what turns out to be one smokybrown from the garden wastes your money, and quoting a perimeter treatment for an established German population wastes everyone time.
