Marietta Pest Control & Extermination Services

A one-time general treatment typically runs anywhere from $150 to $400. Termites and bed bugs cost more, sometimes $500 to $2,000 depending on the severity. Ongoing quarterly plans usually work out cheaper per visit and keep problems from coming back.

The only way to get an accurate number is to call and describe what you’re dealing with. The final price depends on the pest, the size of your property, and how bad the infestation is.

Marietta gets a steady lineup throughout the year. The most common calls we get are for cockroaches, Eastern subterranean termites, rodents, mosquitoes, yellow jackets, fire ants, bed bugs, and carpenter ants. With so many mature trees and wooded lots throughout Cobb County, carpenter ants are a bigger problem here than in many other parts of metro Atlanta. Stink bugs are a regular fall nuisance. Fleas and ticks are common near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Sope Creek, and along the Chattahoochee River trails.

Eastern subterranean termites are the primary concern across Cobb County. They’re widespread throughout the area and cause serious structural damage long before most homeowners notice them. Formosan termites are also spreading into the Atlanta metro region. If you’re seeing something you don’t recognise, just call and describe it, we should be able to tell you what it is right away.

Yes. The products used are approved for residential use and safe when applied correctly by a licensed technician. You may be asked to keep kids and pets out of treated areas for a short period (a couple of hours or so) while things dry.

Your technician will always tell you exactly what to expect before starting work. If you have specific concerns about allergies or sensitivities, let us know when you call and we’ll make sure the right products are used.

It depends on what you’re dealing with. Some jobs are done in a single visit, like a wasp nest, a minor ant problem, a rodent entry point sealed and baited. Others take more time.

Termites and bed bugs almost always need follow-up treatments to make sure the whole infestation is gone. Your technician will give you a straight answer after the inspection. There’s no point paying for extra treatments you don’t need, and we won’t push them on you.

Yes. A lot of homeowners don’t wait for a problem to show up before calling, they’d rather deal with it before it starts. Preventative treatments create a barrier around your home that stops pests getting in before they become a real issue.

Quarterly plans are the most popular option and cover the main pest seasons throughout the year. Given Marietta’s humid summers and pest activity that spans most of the year, it’s almost always cheaper to prevent than to treat, especially when it comes to termites or rodents where the damage can get expensive fast.

For very minor problems, DIY products from the hardware store can sometimes buy you time. But they rarely fix the root cause. Ants come back because the colony is still there. Rodents find another way in. Bed bugs hide in places sprays can’t reach.

DIY is fine for the odd spider or occasional ant trail. For anything more serious, especially termites, carpenter ants, bed bugs, yellow jacket nests, or a rodent infestation, a professional treatment is almost always more effective and cheaper in the long run.

Yes. Not every home has the same problem, and a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t make sense. When you call, a technician will assess your property, identify what’s present and what conditions are making it worse, and put together a plan based on that. Some people need a single treatment. Others benefit from a regular schedule that keeps their home protected throughout the year. Either way, you’ll get a clear recommendation and a straight answer on what it’ll cost before anything gets started.
