Termites are more of a concern than many homeowners realize. Because these pests can burrow into the wood and travel underground, an infestation can go unnoticed for quite some time. If you leave their presence untreated, then they can create structural damage to your home. These insects can even damage your wood flooring if they continue spreading throughout your property. The first type is the Drywood Termites. These insects like to feed and nest in wood where there is not any decay. They tend to build extensive colonies, damaging furniture, seasoned firewood, fences, and even utility poles.

Cockroaches love to feed and live in the dark because of their nocturnal nature. If you see this insect during the day, then it is a potential sign that you have an infestation in your Athens home. You can often find them hiding under refrigerators, underneath your sink, or in your floor drains. Since this pest can flatten their body into narrow areas, it is possible to find them in your walls, behind wallpaper, or even hiding under a rug or mat. Identifying the species of cockroach that is in your home is the first step toward removing them.

Living in northwest Georgia provides us with numerous opportunities to interact with wildlife. The only problem that we have as homeowners is that we want the various mammals and reptiles to stay out of our home - and sometimes off of our property. Our nuisance wildlife management program can capture and remove the different animals that might stop for a visit, and then we will work to prevent them from coming back. Numerous species qualify for this program, including skunks, squirrels, opossums, moles, various birds, and snakes.

The climate of Georgia makes it the perfect location for rodents. If you travel a little to the west, Atlanta often ranks as one of the most rat-infested urban areas in the United States. That means you are likely to see one in your Athens home. The standard rule also applies: if you see one mouse or rat, then there are probably 6-12 more that you have not yet seen. All it takes is an open trash can, a small gap in your foundation, or even an opening in your roof or siding to begin dealing with this infestation.

When you were growing up, did your parents ever wish you a good night by saying, "Don't let the bed bugs bite"? This common household pest is on the rebound all over the world, and Athens is no exception. Thanks to the affordability of traveling today, one vacation is all it takes to bring this tiny insect home with you. Bed bugs are very tiny insects, growing to 1/4-inch in size. Their eggs offer a white tone and are only 1 millimeter, which makes it a challenge to spot them. Their nymphs stay the same color so that the human eye does detect them well.

Fleas and ticks are problems for your pets in Athens. These small pests can also create potential health issues for you and your family. Various tick-borne illnesses are spreading across the United States, and Georgia is no exception. Lyme disease, babesiosis, and other health issues are containable if you have effective pest control services in place for your property. A pet collar that controls fleas and ticks is a significant and proactive first step when reducing the population of these insects.
