What To Know About Pests In Marietta
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park covers nearly 3,000 acres on Marietta’s north side, with more than 18 miles of trails. It gets more than a million visits a year, and many homes along its edge share the same woods, deer and ticks. Check yourself and your dog after a hike, and keep the grass short where the yard meets the trees.
Cobb & Douglas Public Health has handed out free mosquito larvicide tablets in past seasons, one pack of six per household. Pick them up at the Marietta, Acworth-Kennesaw, Smyrna or South Cobb health centers. Drop them in rain barrels, ponds or anything else you can’t drain.

When You Can Skip The Pro In Marietta
A few ticks after a hike or a stray mouse in the garage don’t need a contract. Use snap traps, check yourself after walks and keep grass short near the woods.
Call someone for termite swarmers in a finished basement, mice that keep coming back to the walls or ticks you keep pulling off your kids and pets. Those signs point to a bigger problem than a weekend fix can handle.

Marietta Pest Control FAQs

Are ticks a big problem near Kennesaw Mountain?
They can be. The park’s woods and grassy fields hold lone star and dog ticks, and those same woods run right into backyards in west Marietta and Kennesaw.
Do a tick check after hikes and treat your shoes and socks with repellent. A yard tick treatment along the tree line cuts the numbers near your house.
Where can I get free mosquito dunks in Cobb County?
Cobb & Douglas Public Health has given out free larvicide tablets at its Marietta, Acworth-Kennesaw, Smyrna and South Cobb centers during mosquito season. The limit is one pack per household while supplies last.
Check their site before you go, because the giveaway runs on set dates. Use the tablets in standing water you can’t drain, like ponds or rain barrels.
Do I need a termite letter to sell my Marietta house?
Expect the buyer’s lender to ask for an Official Georgia Wood Infestation Report before closing.
Book the inspection a few weeks before you list. Basement homes take longer to check, and you’ll want time to treat if the report comes back with activity.
Why do mice keep getting into my East Cobb basement?
Basements stay warm, and mice slip in through gaps around pipes, garage door seals and dryer vents. A dime-sized hole is enough.
Trapping alone won’t fix it. Seal the entry points with steel wool and caulk, then trap what’s left inside.
Can my family and pets stay home during treatment?
For general pest work, yes. Step outside or into another room while the tech sprays, and let treated areas dry before anyone touches them.
Yard work for ticks and mosquitoes follows the same rule. Keep the dog in until the leaves and grass are dry.
