Pest Control Services for New Homeowners

As a new homeowner, you have a lot on your plate. With unpacking, decorating, and tackling to-do lists, worrying about pests is the last thing you need. And you don’t want pests ruining the excitement of being a new homeowner.

Unfortunately, insects and rodents don’t care that you just moved in. They’re looking for food, water, and shelter, and your home provides all three. Pests are very good at hiding and reproducing, so what may seem like a small problem can quickly spiral out of control.

As a part of proper home maintenance and protection, robust pest control keeps your home in the best shape for years to come. Having extermination services, including inspections, on a regular basis is an affordable way to keep pests from affecting your home’s value.

House mice, termites, Norway rats, house centipedes, silverfish, and more infest Georgia homes. Rodents tend to gnaw through drywall and wiring while leaving droppings in their search for shelter. Termites eat away at your home and cause structural damage. You can find house centipedes and silverfish in kitchens, since they provide the perfect food sources. There are also several other pests that will bite (such as bed bugs and fire ants).

Common Pests in Georgia Homes

Georgia’s warm, humid climate is attractive to a wide variety of household pests. Some of the most common pests in homes include:

Cockroaches

These tough pests need only a small amount of food and water to live. This makes them hard to control without expert help. Roaches can also trigger allergies and spread disease. Cockroaches reproduce quickly, so missing just a few can lead to a resurgence down the line.

DIY roach control methods (such as bait stations or insecticide sprays) can kill some cockroaches, but won’t get rid of the infestation.

Ants

We all dread the sight of ant trails in and around the kitchen. Ants are known for getting into food and making messy mounds outdoors.

To eliminate ants for the long term, you must find and treat their colony. It’s a task best done by professionals!

Termites

These “silent destroyers” can chew through your home’s wooden structures all day, every day. They can cause thousands of dollars in damage. Termite control is not a DIY job. By the time you notice signs of an infestation, significant damage may have already occurred. Most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage.

Regular termite inspections and treatments are key to protecting one of your biggest investments.
