What To Know About Pests In Georgia

Georgia has hot, sticky summers and winters that rarely get cold enough to kill anything off. That’s the problem. Pests breed faster here, spread further, and stay active most of the year. Subterranean termites work through homes across the state, fire ants take over yards, and the humidity keeps roaches and mosquitoes going for a long season.

When Pests Are Most Active In Georgia

Spring
Termite swarmers show up on warm days after rain, usually March to May. Fire ant mounds multiply.
Summer
Hot and sticky. Mosquitoes, roaches and ticks peak, and yellow jacket nests grow underground.
Fall
Yellow jackets get aggressive before the first frost. Kudzu bugs and mice start heading for your walls.
Winter
Short and mild. Roaches and rodents stay active inside, and termites keep feeding below the frost line.

Common Pests In Georgia

Georgia sits right in termite country and has fire ants in nearly every county. Here are the pests we get asked about most.

Why Use PestControlUSA In Georgia

Georgia Pest Control FAQs

Can’t find your answer? Send us a message.

What does pest control cost in Georgia?

Plan on $300 to $550 for a one-time general treatment, which is Angi’s national range. Termite treatment usually starts around $250 for spot work and goes up from there for a full house.

Many Georgia homeowners keep a termite bond, a yearly contract that covers re-treatment if termites come back.

What is a termite bond and do I need one?

A bond is an annual agreement where the company inspects every year and re-treats for free if termites show up. Some also cover repair costs.

It’s not required, but lenders and buyers in Georgia often ask about it. Read what’s covered before you renew.

Do I need a termite letter to sell my house in Georgia?

Most buyers and lenders will ask for an Official Georgia Wood Infestation Report. A licensed company inspects and writes it up.

Get it done early. If active termites turn up, you’ll want time to treat before closing.

How do I get rid of fire ants in my yard?

Broadcast a bait across the whole lawn so workers carry it back to the queens. Then treat any mounds that are left a few days later.

Expect to repeat it in spring and fall. Fire ants move back in from the neighbors.

Why do I see more roaches after it rains?

Heavy rain floods their outdoor hiding spots, so American roaches move into garages, drains and crawl spaces.

Sealing door sweeps and keeping mulch away from the foundation cuts down on a lot of those visits.

Is pest treatment safe for my family and dog?

Yes, when a licensed tech applies it. Keep everyone off treated spots until it’s dry, usually a couple of hours.

Fire ant bait is placed in the yard, so keep pets inside during application and for a short while after.

Can I treat termites myself in Georgia?

Not well. Store products don’t create a continuous barrier, and you won’t get the paperwork buyers want.

DIY is fine for a few ants or spiders. Leave termites to a licensed company.
