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 NowEastern subterranean termites are the species that matters in Georgia. They nest in the soil and reach the structure through mud tubes, which is why damage often appears in a crawlspace or along a foundation line well before anything is visible upstairs.
Georgia is in one of the highest termite pressure zones in the United States. A colony can number in the hundreds of thousands and works continuously – unlike ants, termites do not have a dormant season here, they just slow down in winter.
Termite treatment in metro Atlanta generally runs $800 to $2,500 depending on the linear footage of the foundation, the construction type and whether a baiting system is installed. Annual monitoring and renewal typically runs $200 to $400.
This is the one service where the cost of skipping it dwarfs the cost of doing it. Termite damage is not covered by standard homeowner insurance in Georgia, and structural repair routinely runs into five figures.

FAQ
Both swarm in spring and are easily confused. Termite swarmers have straight antennae, a waist the same width as the body, and four wings of equal length that drop off easily. Flying ants have elbowed antennae, a pinched waist and forewings longer than the hind wings. If you have swarmers indoors, keep a few in a container for us to identify.
Subterranean termite swarms typically appear in April and May, usually after the first sustained warm rain. A swarm indoors means an established colony is already in or under the structure, not that one has just arrived.
No. Termite work is not one-and-done. A liquid barrier or baiting system needs annual monitoring to stay effective, and a yearly inspection is what keeps a treated structure treated. Georgia sits in a heavy termite pressure zone, so lapsed monitoring is a real risk.
A liquid barrier treats the soil around the structure so termites cannot reach it. A baiting system puts stations in the ground that the colony feeds on and carries back. Which one suits a property depends on the construction, the soil and how the colony is reaching the building, and sometimes both are used.
Over-the-counter products reach the termites you can see, not the colony in the soil that is producing them, and they cannot establish a continuous barrier around a foundation. Structural damage accumulates quietly while a surface treatment appears to be working.
Any active infestation in structural timber is worth treating immediately, because the colony continues feeding while you decide. Whether existing damage needs repair is a separate question from whether the termites need treating, and we will tell you plainly which you are looking at.
