What sets Southern Pest Management apart from many pest control companies is the time we dedicate to diagnosing and resolving the source of your pest problem—not just treating symptoms. Every service begins with a detailed inspection to identify the target pest species, activity patterns, entry points, and environmental conditions contributing to the infestation.

Based on this inspection, we develop a customized pest control strategy using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles. IPM focuses on long-term prevention through a combination of habitat modification, mechanical controls, biological controls, and precise, targeted pesticide applications. This approach allows us to control pests effectively while reducing unnecessary chemical exposure inside and around your home.

Integrated Pest Management is recognized as one of the safest and most effective pest control methods for residential and commercial properties. By combining multiple treatment techniques, IPM delivers better results than single-method treatments and minimizes risks to people, pets, beneficial insects, and the surrounding environment. Materials are selected and applied responsibly to ensure effective pest elimination without over-application.

Southern Pest Management offers monthly and bi-monthly pest control programs designed to fit your property, pest pressures, and budget. Our services cover common North Georgia household pests including ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, stink bugs, and other seasonal invaders—with a focus on prevention, consistency, and results.

TOP 15 Most Frequently Asked Questions regarding Pest Control

What pests are most commonly treated in North Georgia homes?

The most common household pests in North Georgia include ants, roaches, mosquitoes, scorpions, moths, and centipedes. These pests thrive due to Georgia’s warm climate, humidity, and wooded environments, and each requires a different treatment approach based on behavior, nesting habits, and seasonal activity.

Why do pests keep coming back even after treatment?

Recurring pest issues usually happen when treatments only address visible insects and not the source of the problem. Many pests nest outdoors or inside wall voids, crawlspaces, or landscaping. Long-term control requires routine treatments that disrupt breeding cycles and prevent re-entry.

Are pest problems worse during certain seasons in Georgia?

Yes. Pest activity increases significantly during spring and summer due to warmer temperatures and rainfall. Heavy rain can drive ants, roaches, and centipedes indoors, while mosquitoes thrive in standing water. Some pests, like scorpions, remain active year-round.

Do different pests require different treatment methods?

Absolutely. There is no single treatment that works for all pests. Ants, roaches, mosquitoes, scorpions, moths, and centipedes all respond to different products, placement strategies, and timing. Effective pest control depends on proper identification and targeted treatment.

Is exterior pest control enough, or do you treat inside as well?

Most pest problems can be controlled with exterior perimeter treatments, which stop pests before they enter the home. Interior treatments are only used when necessary and are targeted to specific problem areas rather than broad applications.

Are professional pest control treatments safe for children and pets?

Treatments are applied according to strict label guidelines and industry standards. Applications focus primarily on exterior areas, reducing exposure inside the home. Any necessary precautions are clearly explained before service.

Why are ants and roaches common in kitchens and bathrooms?

Kitchens and bathrooms provide moisture, food sources, and shelter, making them prime targets for ants and roaches. Even small spills, grease residue, or plumbing leaks can attract pests and allow infestations to grow if not properly controlled.

Can pests enter a home that looks well sealed?

Yes. Many pests can enter through extremely small openings such as expansion joints, utility penetrations, foundation cracks, door thresholds, and window weep holes. Even newer homes have entry points that pests can exploit.

What attracts mosquitoes to my yard?

Mosquitoes are attracted to standing water, shaded areas, dense vegetation, and humid conditions. Birdbaths, clogged gutters, plant trays, and low-lying areas are common breeding spots. Yard-focused treatments help reduce mosquito populations where they live and breed.

Are scorpions common in North Georgia homes?

Scorpions are present in parts of North Georgia, especially in wooded or rocky areas. They often enter homes while hunting insects, which is why controlling other pests is an important part of scorpion prevention.

Do centipedes indicate a bigger pest problem?

Often, yes. Centipedes feed on other insects, so their presence can signal underlying pest activity. Reducing moisture and controlling insects they feed on is key to long-term centipede control.

Is DIY pest control effective long term?

DIY products may provide short-term relief but often fail to address nesting sites and breeding cycles. Store-bought sprays can also cause pests to scatter, making infestations harder to control. Professional treatments are more effective for lasting results.

How often should pest control be performed in Georgia?

Bi-monthly pest control is ideal for most North Georgia homes. Routine service helps prevent infestations before they become visible and keeps seasonal pests under control year-round.

Do you offer pest control in Dawsonville, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Cumming, and Milton?

Yes. Southern Pest Management provides professional pest control services throughout Dawsonville, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Cumming, and Milton, addressing common household pests with region-specific treatment strategies.

What is the best way to prevent pest problems long term?

Long-term pest prevention involves routine professional treatments, exterior perimeter protection, moisture management, and reducing pest entry points. Consistent service helps stop infestations before they start instead of reacting after pests are already inside.
