We take the time to do a thorough inspection and assess your specific situation. This allows us to determine the exact target pests and devise a pest control program to get rid of them. Our pest control service will utilize habitat modifications & controls (biological, cultural, mechanical controls) with the right amount of pesticides in the proper locations to remedy the problem. This approach is called Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and is present in every aspect of our pest control service. In other words, we look at the big picture and use the existing resources & tools combined with minimal pesticides to remedy the situation. Following the IPM standards, with our pest control service all materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and non-target organisms, and the environment. All of our services can be tailored to suit any BUDGET & NEED. Talk to us! We offer typical household pest control services on a bi-monthly, or quarterly basis.

-MORE ABOUT OUR PEST CONTROL SERVICES-
Implementing an IPM program involves using the most selective pesticide that will do the job and be the safest for other organisms and your environment. This means using pesticides in bait stations rather than sprays, or spot-spray a few weeds instead of an entire area. To understand more about the science behind an IPM program, watch this video: Scientific Basis for IPM. This principle closely mimics our philosophy & standards so it was natural for us to incorporate into our daily practices.
Our friendly, highly-skilled staff is happy to answer any questions you have. Call us at (678) 935-5900 to set up an appointment for a pest inspection that suits your schedule.

We take the “common-sense approach” of controlling pests, and the diseases they spread to a new family-friendly level, while still protecting the people, pets, and plants from any ill effects from a pesticide spraying process inside your home. Are you against the use of Pesticides inside the home? No Problem! We can restrict the use of industry-standard pesticides to the outside of the home and strategically use it as a barrier (still in a responsible manner) so it is safe for your family & pets. We can also devise an alternative plan of using “organic eco-friendly” pesticide inside if that is your preference. Each Pest Control plan is customized to suit your goals and desires.
– WHAT WE DO OUTSIDE YOUR HOME –
The outside of your home provides thousands of routes for a pest to gain access into your living areas. With todayโs advanced micro-encapsulation chemistry technology, a pest control material can be applied around the exterior of the home. When combined with simple mechanical exclusion processes like caulking and sealing insect access points, this pest control service can further minimize the insectsโ ability to gain entry into the living areas of your home.
– WHAT WE DO INSIDE YOUR HOME –
We instinctively try to avoid using pesticides inside your living quarters. How much we avoid it, comes down to personal preferences. If you wish for us to keep your home chemical-free and focus on the outside we can. If there is a problem to be addressed inside the home we can discuss options. Just keep in mind that there are alternatives.
EXTRA BENEFITS DURING THE WINTER

During the Winter while providing your Bi-Monthly Service, we take a little extra time to inspect your attic for possible rodent activity. We do this annual pest inspection FREE of charge just to make sure your home is safe & rodent free. Consider it a perk to our program. Keep in mind, we started this business specializing in wildlife control. We are rodent EXPERTS. We know what to look for and can act immediately when an issue is discovered.
๐ Call Us Now: (678) 935-5900WHY YOU should choose a small family business over a large franchise like Cook’s Pest Control, Arrow Exterminators, Orkin, Peachtree Pest Control?
Every company started small and with the owners doing the work. This is where they established the standard operating procedures. Great. It worked and they grew to an enormous size. Now they have employees and in our opinion, the employees never do the quality work that the owner did. We are not blaming them, it happens to every company who wants to grow. Everyone on your property with Southern Pest Management is an owner in this business and therefore has a vested interest in your successful results. We are limiting our growth to control the quality of our services.
Cook’s Pest Control, Arrow Exterminators, Orkin, Peachtree Pest Control, Urban wildlife control, and many others I’m sure to do a good job. Not to fail to mention that our feedback from their employees is that they have over 15 stops on their schedule and if you take into consideration an 8 hour day with only a 1/2 lunch that means they have 11 minutes to spend at each house doing service. With Southern Pest Management each stop takes from 1/2 hour to an hour.
There has been a lot of jobs where we were hired to correct a problem created with a franchise or national chain companies. Keep in mind that one specific branch can have a bad reputation but by no means does that mean that each location of the pest control franchise is the same.
Pest Control F.A.Q’s
Q – How often should I pest control my house?
A – We recommend Bi-Monthly applications. This is based upon the efficacy of the pesticides that we prefer. We do not go with the least costly pesticides, we opt for the most effective. Then based upon each products life expectancy we build our program around it.
Q – Is it cheaper to do your own pest control?
A – Cheaper? Yes. More effective – highly unlikely. If doing it yourself was the best option then we wouldn’t be in the business to do it for you.
Q – What do pest control companies use indoors?
A – Pesticides. We base it upon what target species we are seeing indoors and make decisions based upon the product label.
Q – Does pest control smell bad?
A – I think that is relative. I do not think so. We try to limit the pesticides that are used inside anyways. We try to eliminate the pests on the outside of the home, before they get inside.
Q – Do bugs get worse after pest control?
A -Applying pesticides can cause bugs that were previously not seen all of a sudden take off because of the pesticide application. In a person’s mind they are seeing more bugs but it is just chasing them out of where they were already hiding.
Q – How long after spraying pesticides is it safe for pets indoors?
A – That depends on the product used and labeling. We leave instructions behond after each visit.
Q – Why do I see more bugs after pest control?
A – Applying pesticides can cause bugs that were previously not seen all of a sudden take off because of the pesticide application. In a person’s mind they are seeing more bugs but it is just chasing them out of where they were already hiding.
Q – How do you stop a pest infestation?
A – Call us. We can quickly get the infestation in check and keep it under control.
Q – What bugs do people hate the most?
A – I would like to think it is bed bugs, but it seems like roaches and spiders top the list.
Q – Is pest control maintenance worth it?
A – Absolutely.
Q – Is pest control better than doing it yourself?
A – Same answer as above, YES hiring a professional will most certainly yield better results than a person who is untrained and unfamiliar with the pest & pesticide products.
