Pest control for homes and businesses across metro Atlanta
Max Pest Solutions reduces mosquito pressure across metro Atlanta by treating resting sites and eliminating breeding water, not by fogging open air. Treatments run on a seasonal cycle through Georgia summers. Quotes are free, and the inspection identifies the water sources driving the problem.
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 NowMosquitoes need standing water to breed, and less of it than people expect – a bottle cap holds enough. Asian tiger mosquitoes, the aggressive daytime biters most common in metro Atlanta, breed in container water rather than ponds: plant saucers, gutters, tarps, toys, tyres.
Adults spend the day resting in cool shaded vegetation and emerge to feed. Most travel less than a few hundred feet in their lifetime, which means the mosquitoes biting you are almost certainly breeding on your property or the one next to it.
Seasonal mosquito programmes in metro Atlanta generally run $60 to $120 per treatment, usually on a two to three week cycle from April through October. One-off treatments before an event are available and typically cost more per visit.
Property size matters less than how much shaded vegetation and standing water it holds. A small heavily planted lot can take longer than a large open one.

FAQ
Spraying kills the adults in the air at that moment and does nothing to the larvae in your gutters, plant saucers and water features, which produce the next generation within days. Barrier treatment of resting sites combined with larvicide in standing water addresses both.
Rarely anywhere obvious. Blocked gutters, plant pot saucers, ornamental water features, tarpaulin folds, children's toys, corrugated downpipe extensions and the tray under an air conditioning unit are the common ones. A bottle cap of water is enough for some species.
A professional residual barrier stays effective for roughly three to four weeks, compared with 24 to 48 hours for consumer sprays that break down in heat and sunlight. Treatment through the season runs on a repeating cycle for that reason.
Barrier applications are placed on foliage resting sites, meaning the undersides of shrub leaves, fence lines and dense vegetation, rather than broadcast over open flowering plants. We avoid treating flower beds during peak bloom. All products are EPA-registered and applied consistent with label directions, and your technician leaves a pesticide use record listing the product, the target pests and any post-application precautions.
Starting before the population builds is far more effective than reacting to it. Treatment usually begins in April or early May and runs through September, longer on properties near lakes, creeks or heavy tree cover.
No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. Adult mosquitoes fly in from neighbouring land continuously. What treatment does is remove the population breeding on your property and keep the resting sites treated, which is the difference between an unusable garden and a usable one.
