Customized Pest Control Solutions
A wooded acre and a slab-foundation subdivision home need different work. In Doraville 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 Doraville property, we treat it again - that return visit is part of the job, not a second call-out.
Call Us NowMultifamily buildings on continuous slabs share a termite exposure the way they share everything else. A colony entering beneath one part of the structure is beneath the building, and treatment of a single unit addresses a fraction of the soil that matters. That is a structural fact rather than a sales point, and it is why termite work in this kind of property sensibly belongs to whoever manages the building.
The commercial ground along the corridor adds its own version. Older light industrial and retail buildings on slab have numerous penetrations, and long-standing stock and fixtures against walls mean much of the structure cannot be inspected without access being arranged. For a resident the practical point is simple: report evidence to management rather than treating it as a private problem, because in a shared building it is not one.
| What | When it comes up here | What you notice first |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern subterranean termite | Active year round, swarming March to May | Mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings on sills after a swarm |
| Evidence before insects | Year round | Timber that sounds hollow, blistered paint, mud tubes running from soil to structure |
| Continuous slabs beneath multiple units | Year round | Exposure belonging to the building |
| Numerous penetrations on commercial slabs | Year round | More routes on older commercial stock |
| Stock and fixtures against walls | Year round | Structure needing access to inspect |
Most of our work in Doraville 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
Swarming is the visible event and usually happens on warm days from March into May, often after rain.
Feeding continues all year underground and inside timber, so activity is not seasonal even though swarms are.
Autumn and winter are good times for inspection, because access is easier and no swarm is needed to find evidence.
A colony does not die back over winter, and a season without a swarm is not evidence that one has gone.
In a shared building this belongs to the building. Report it to management.
That addresses a fraction of the soil beneath a continuous structure.
Then access needs arranging, or the inspection covers only what was reachable.

FAQ
Report it to management rather than treating it as a private problem, because in a building on a continuous slab it genuinely is not one. A colony beneath one part of the structure is beneath the building, and the useful response operates at building level.
It can be treated, and it addresses a fraction of the soil beneath a continuous structure. That is worth knowing before paying for it. The durable approach in multifamily property is a building-level instruction, which is also usually the cheaper path once repeat work is counted.
Structural pest control, including wood destroying organism work, is licensed at state level by the Georgia Department of Agriculture rather than by the county. Suwanee sits in Gwinnett County, whose environmental health department handles public health reporting rather than licensing.
Mud tubes running up foundation walls, in garages or in service areas are the clearest sign and need no expertise to recognise. Discarded wings on sills after a warm spring day are the other. Both are worth reporting immediately rather than watching.
