Atlanta Pest Control Teams Will Get The Job Done Quickly

By Dave L. Weglin


Residents of Georgia's capital and most-populous city will know that the climate is perfect for many kinds of pests. Average monthly rainfall varies from 3.11 inches to 5.38 inches throughout the year and average temperatures vary from a low of 33.5 degrees Fahrenheit to a high of 89.4 degrees Fahrenheit monthly. These humid summers and mild winters combine to create ideal breeding conditions for many insects. The Atlanta metropolitan area is home to almost 5.5 million people in 168,000 closely-knit homes. It is no surprise to learn that many of these inhabitants will have need of the services of an Atlanta pest control company.

Atlanta's muggy, subtropical climate is ideal for termites. Across the country, they cause $2.2 billion of destruction annually. Liquid chemicals and baiting can be utilised to take care of termite infestations. A systemic programme uses food source depletion, bait and liquid chemical treatments to diminish the excessive use of termiticides.

Environmentally-friendly firms will have Green Shield certification. Non-chemical methods of management include rodent-proofing and other exclusion and sanitation measures. Sealing holes and gaps under sinks, in outbuildings, around windowsills and counters as well as the exterior of the property can diminish the need for chemicals by up to sixty-five percent.

First-class bug exterminators ought to be affiliated to the National Pest Management Association. The University of Georgia and the Georgia Department of Agriculture recommend integrated pest management methods. Modern, high-tech infra-red equipment can trace pests within walls. A premium quality pesticide should be applied in concurrence with the Department of Agriculture code of behaviour.

Liquid chemical technology has improved recently and one treatment can now offer up to ten years of protection. Termite bait methods might need no more than one ounce of a substance less toxic than table salt. Similar advances in the treatment of cockroach infestations means that it is now possible to eliminate the problem from one apartment unit without it spreading to neighbouring units.

Crawling critters such as ants, pill bugs, American cockroaches, earwigs, smoky brown cockroaches, centipedes, oriental cockroaches, millipedes, silverfish, bed bugs and mosquitoes can all be troublesome. Roaches are common nocturnal health hazards in Atlanta, leaving behind a smell, droppings and shells. Crickets will eat wool, cotton and silk.

Ecological control approaches will not damage the environment nor injure the wellbeing of people or their pets. Concentrate on access points and wet spots. Generate a boundary and protective barrier three metres around the building and a metre up from the ground on the walls.

Wildlife pests can include skunks, rats, mice, foxes, bats, feral animals, scorpions and snakes. Some of these animals can spread rabies, toxoplasmosis and salmonella. They can also bring ticks, fleas, lice and mites with them. Chewing animals can cause potentially dangerous damage, and some snakebites can even be fatal. It is imperative to call a specialist Atlanta pest control company to identify and humanely remove unwanted home and garden intruders. They can also undertake dead animal location, removal, decontamination and deodorizing. When choosing a service provider, ensure that they are licensed and insured, employing pre-screened staff that will effectively take care of your problem. Do your research and make sure that the company is reputable and offers a guarantee on any work done.
