Southeast Atlanta pest control FAQ

Which neighborhoods are included?

Lakewood Heights, South Atlanta, Chosewood Park, Thomasville Heights, Browns Mill, Peoplestown, Mechanicsville and Pittsburgh, plus adjacent southside streets.

Are shotgun and pier-and-beam houses more exposed to pests?

Raised houses on piers have open crawl spaces that rodents and termites can reach easily. Skirting or screening the openings and keeping wood off the soil help.

What can I do about rats from nearby lots?

Secure trash and pet food, remove junk piles and dense ground cover near the house, and seal gaps in the foundation and around pipes.
