Ant Control Services is a HIGH DEMAND in North Georgia, especially in warmer months with FIRE ANTS, but ongoing ant problems usually indicate an established colony nearby. While a few ants indoors may seem minor, repeated sightings often mean ants are nesting in soil, landscaping, wall voids, or structural areas around the home.

Southern Pest Management provides Professional Ant Control Services for homes and businesses in Dawsonville, Cumming, Johns Creek, Alpharetta and surrounding areas. Our focus is on identifying the specific ant species, locating nesting and foraging areas, and eliminating the colony rather than just treating visible ants.

OUR AFFORDABLE BI-MONTHLY ANT CONTROL PROGRAM

Ants are highly organized and adaptable, which makes improper treatment ineffective. Spraying ants or treating trails alone often leads to temporary relief followed by reinfestation. Our ant control services follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, a science-based approach that targets the source of the problem.

Depending on the situation, ant control may include:

• Identifying the ant species and activity patterns
• Locating nests and entry points
• Habitat modification to reduce attractants
• Targeted baiting and precise product applications

This approach allows for Long-Term Ant Control while minimizing unnecessary chemical use.

Monthly & Bi-Monthly Ant Control Services

We offer monthly and bi-monthly ant control programs designed to provide consistent monitoring and seasonal adjustments. These service intervals are especially effective in North Georgia, where ant activity changes throughout the year. Our programs focus on prevention, accuracy, and dependable results—without rushed or routine treatments.

If you’re dealing with recurring ants in your home or business, Southern Pest Management offers practical, proven solutions.

What types of ants are most common around homes in North Georgia?

In North Georgia, the most common ant problems include fire ants, carpenter ants, sugar ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants. Each species behaves differently and requires a different treatment approach. Proper identification matters, because a method that works for one ant species may be ineffective for another.

Are carpenter ants damaging my home like termites do?

Carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites, but they do excavate galleries in soft, damp, or already compromised wood to build nesting areas. Over time, this can worsen structural issues, especially around rooflines, soffits, window frames, and areas affected by moisture or leaks.

Why do fire ants keep coming back after I treat them?

Fire ants live in large underground colonies and are highly resilient. Many over-the-counter treatments only eliminate visible ants and do not reach the queen. Without eliminating the colony, fire ants will continue to return. Effective control requires professional-grade baiting and mound treatments designed to target the colony itself.

What attracts sugar ants into kitchens and bathrooms?

Sugar ants are attracted to sweet foods, grease, pet food, spills, and even small food residues. Kitchens, pantries, and bathrooms are common problem areas. While cleaning helps reduce activity, it does not eliminate nests or scent trails, which is why professional treatment is often necessary.

Can ants enter my home even if it seems well sealed?

Yes. Ants can enter through extremely small gaps such as construction seams, expansion joints, utility penetrations, foundation cracks, and window weep holes. Even newer or well-maintained homes have entry points. Exterior perimeter treatments are the most effective way to stop ants before they enter the home.

Are ant problems worse during certain times of the year in Georgia?

Ant activity increases during spring and summer due to warmer temperatures and rainfall. Heavy rain can flood outdoor nests and drive ants indoors. Fire ants are especially active after rain, while sugar ants often become more noticeable during hot, dry conditions when food and moisture are limited outside.

Is DIY ant control effective long term?

DIY treatments may provide short-term relief but often fail to eliminate the colony. Many store-bought sprays only kill worker ants and can cause colonies to split, making the infestation worse. Carpenter ants and fire ants, in particular, usually require professional treatment for long-term control.

Do different ant species require different treatment methods?

Yes. There is no single treatment that works for all ants. Fire ants, carpenter ants, and sugar ants each require different products, placement strategies, and timing. Southern Pest Management tailors treatments based on the specific ant species, nesting behavior, and conditions around the home.

Are professional ant treatments safe for children and pets?

Treatments are applied according to strict label guidelines and industry standards. The focus is primarily on exterior perimeter control, which reduces the need for interior applications. Any necessary precautions are explained clearly at the time of service.

How can I prevent ants from coming back long term?

Long-term ant prevention involves routine professional treatments, exterior perimeter protection, sealing key entry points, and addressing moisture issues around the home. Bi-monthly pest control helps disrupt ant activity before it becomes a visible or recurring problem.
