North Druid Hills pest control FAQ

Does North Druid Hills have its own city government?

No. It is an unincorporated area of DeKalb County. Some nearby areas have been annexed by Brookhaven or Atlanta.

Should I worry about termites in a 1950s–60s ranch?

Yes. Mid-century homes on crawl spaces have wood sills and joists close to the soil, so a yearly inspection is a good idea.

Do the creek trails bring mosquitoes into my yard?

Some, but most yard mosquitoes breed in containers close to home. Weekly water checks make the biggest difference.
