There are already a plethora of different types of annoying little bugs and pests to be  found in the Metro Atlanta area (spiders, roaches, fire ants, rats, termites, etc.) that are enough to make the average homeowner cringe. Recently, however, Atlanta has been rocked with the invasion of not one, but TWO insect species. Now, more than ever, homeowners are in need of an effective Atlanta pest control service to keep their homes bug free.

In the past five years, there has been an invasion of ugly, brown, stinky, ladybug lookalike creatures, better known as kudzu bugs, who are aiming to make their presence known in front of houses all over metro Atlanta. Originally from Asia, this invasive species is believed to have come to the Western world, by way of plane, to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. Since their discovery in 2009, kudzu bugs have spread to over seven states.  Apparently, they  are thriving here in America  and their irritating presence is being felt  in neighborhoods all over metro Atlanta. 

Although kudzu bugs don't bite or sting, they are annoying because of the foul odor that they emit, and because of their tendency to cluster on light colored buildings and clothing. Unfortunately, these brazen little pests don't seem to have any fear of human beings. Additionally, they have a tendency to seek shelter inside  of homes and will bring their horrible stench with them. Once inside the home, they are even harder to get rid of. The homeowner will require  the help of a professional Atlanta pest  control technician in order to remove the problem  effectively.

On a lighter note, there is one  positive benefit to the  presence of the kudzu bug;  it destroys the parasitic kudzu vine  (also from Asia) that kills our native plants. However, it's  fairly certain that this fact will not be a comfort to any homeowner that happens to find clusters of kudzu bugs on their property.

The second infestation that seems to be plaguing the  residents of the  metro  Atlanta  area are bed bugs;  those evil, blood  sucking little  monsters  that  we sung about  as little kids are back. Bed bugs are small parasitic pests feed on the blood  of humans and other hosts;  creatures  like birds and bats. They are nocturnal insects  so it is very rare to see them during the day. In fact, many people are not even aware of a bed bug infestation until it has already grown out of control. 

Did you know that bedbugs have been shown to be immune to certain types of insecticides? Or that  they have a tendency  to reproduce quickly?   This virtual invincibility gives them the ability to spread their infestations rapidly  throughout the surrounding areas. Removing them permanently will require the trusted services of an experienced Atlanta pest control company.

Bedbugs in Atlanta have made a resurgence lately and are being seen in college dormitories, hotel rooms, apartment complexes, nursing homes, and hospitals all over  metro Atlanta and its surrounding areas. Surprising, these infestations are not a result of unsanitary living conditions. In truth, housekeeping cannot prevent a bedbug problem.  These vampire like insects are not only found in beds and mattress,  but also under  furniture and  behind headboards;  anywhere where they can retire unmolested and a food source is nearby. It is impossible for a  normal person to find and destroy  all of their hiding places. Bed bugs infestations will need the help of  professional Atlanta pest control technicians to help alleviate a problem of this magnitude.

A house is more than four walls  and a roof, it is a home, a place of  refuge and  comfort  from the outside world. Therefore,  pests should not be in a homeowner's sanctuary, crawling over food, and eating awayat their  peace of mind. In order to relieve any big bug issue, a homeowner will require the help  of experienced pest control technicians to determine the best method to get rid of their particular pest problem.

Homeowners in metro Atlanta face many threats of the pest variety and can be overwhelmed with the sheer number of insect intruders that are trying to enter their homes. Don't lose hope, these invaders simply require effective pest control to 
control their populations. Make a phone call to the local Atlanta pest control technician today to solve all bug related issues.
