Atlanta is Georgia’s state capital and almost five hundred thousand people call it home. The climate is well-suited to large numbers of varied “pest” species. Figures for the amount of monthly rain range from a minimum of nearly seven centimetres to a maximum of over eleven centimetres. Temperatures fall to a minimum average of not less than 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum monthly average close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Such steamy summers and temperate winters are the optimum breeding environment for many varieties of bugs. Atlanta’s metropolitan district consists of 168,000 closely-knit homes for a population approaching 5,500,000 residents. Naturally, lots of these people are going to require the assistance of an Atlanta pest control professional.
Atlanta’s sultry, subtropical climate creates ideal conditions for termites. Across the US, they bring about $2.2 billion of devastation annually. Termite infestations can be treated with liquid chemicals, baiting or a combination of both. A systemic course of action includes food source diminution, baiting and pesticidal remedies to moderate the disproportionate application of termiticides.
Eco-friendly companies will be sanctioned by Green Shield. Non-chemical pest management systems include sanitation, exclusion and rodent-proofing measures. Plugging holes and cracks around windowsills, in outbuildings, under sinks and counters in addition to the outside of the premises can reduce the call for substances by nearly two-thirds.
First rate bug exterminators can have National Pest Management Association endorsement. The Georgia Department of Agriculture and the University of Georgia advocate the integrated pest management process. Modern, technologically advanced infra-red kit can see into walls to track down pests. An application of finest-grade pesticide must be employed in agreement with Department of Agriculture approved practices.
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.
Bugs and insects such as mosquitoes, ants, earwigs, American cockroaches, silverfish, pill bugs, centipedes, millipedes, smoky brown cockroaches, bed bugs and oriental cockroaches can all spell trouble. Cockroaches are prevalent nocturnal pests in Atlanta. They can leave behind shells, droppings and an unpleasant smell. Crickets will devour and damage silk, wool and cotton.
Natural control methods will not harm the environment or damage the health of residents and their pets. Focus on entry points and moisture points. Create a perimeter and barrier of protection ten feet out from the building and two feet up 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.
