There’s nothing fun about being stung by pests. The stings from pests can cause immediate skin reactions. These reactions can range from a mild itch to severe pain. Some people are also allergic to certain stings, such as bee stings. In fact, approximately 40 people per year die in the United States due to an allergic reaction to bee stings. If you are in the Atlanta area, then you should also contact an Atlanta pest control company in order to put a stop to pest problems in and around your home. Below is information on some of the common pests that sting that you should be on the lookout for:

Bees: Bees are found globally and there are more than 20,000 recorded species. Some bees are solitary, although species such as bumble bees and honey bees are extremely social. Bees can be a big problem if they build their hive around or even in your home.

Hornets: The only species of true hornet located in the United States is the European hornet. It is yellow and brown in color and measures about an inch and a half in length. The hornet is known to inflict a very painful sting and this is why you want to be sure you control the number of hornets around your home by calling an Atlanta pest control company.

Yellow Jackets: Yellow Jackets are named after their appearance. Although most are yellow and black, some appear to be mostly black. A colony can have 1000 yellow jackets, making them a big potential problem. Although they are not quick to sting a person, they will defend their colony and just one will be capable of producing many stings.

Wasps: Most wasps have two sets of wings and a thinned out waist. Some wasps are aggressive and can carry out multiple stings. If you notice wasps around your home, you should contact an Atlanta pest control company for assistance.

Scorpions: Scorpions have an erectile tail and are related to spiders and ticks. Some, but not all, scorpions are poisonous. However, they can produce a very painful sting and an Atlanta pest control company should be called out if you find scorpions in or close to your home.

These pests are everywhere and this means you should take necessary precautions when you are going to be outdoors and call out an Atlanta pest control service for your home.

Quality Pest Control GUARANTEED!

The presence of rodents, an infestation of termites or roaches in a home can be a nuisance and repulsive, stirring up a feeling of “invasion” in your personal space. It is an uneasy feeling of not knowing the source of where “they” are coming from.  Sadly, it only takes one embarrassing horrific incident of mice darting across the floor or a roach running behind a refrigerator to discourage folks from visiting your home ever again.  This includes possibly not being able to sell your home because of an untreated problem of termites; these critters can weaken the structure of a home and your chances to make a sale.

Be it a respected established law firm in an historic wooden frame structure, four star restaurant in the heart of the city or even a popular fast food joint, the mere site of scattering cockroaches, marching ants or even a constant swarm of mosquitoes near the door entrance will drive away customers.  All these examples can heavily affect the revenue of any established, new or growing business. And with word of mouth and social media, it only takes one negative word about these unwanted critters being present to give your business a bad reputation. 

The above scenarios may seem an exaggerated truth, but in reality are all too common.

Like many places, Brookhaven, Georgia is home to a large number of household pests. Some of the most common of these include cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, termites, and fleas. While professional services may be required, there are measures you can take to protect your family and your home from these common pests.


1. Cockroaches

Cockroaches pose serious health risks to your family. Be sure your home is well sealed and even the smallest cracks are filled so they cannot find their way in. If you do find yourself with a cockroach problem, contact a Brookhaven pest control professional right away. Due to their resilient nature, this pest can be hard to get rid of alone.

2. Ants

Ant colonies can be hard to exterminate, but do have a weakness when it comes to sweet ant poison, something a Brookhaven pest control service can provide for you. For ants that come into your home looking for a free meal, keep these pests out of your home by doing your best to seal your home and keeping crumbs and food messes to a minimum.

3. Mosquitoes

Georgia is home to 25 kinds of mosquitoes, all of which carry very serious diseases such as the West Nile Virus. The best thing you can do to protect your home from mosquitoes is eliminating  standing water  on your property, keep pools clean and chlorinated, and use repellents on your bodies and on your property.

4. Termites

Termites are a common issue for many homeowners in Georgia due to the warm, moist climate. Keep your home safe from termites by trimming shrubs away from the foundation of your house, move mulch away from the foundation, do not leave firewood near your home and store off the ground, fix leaky pipes, seal the cracks and holes in your foundation, and eliminate standing water near your home

5. Fleas

Fleas lay their eggs in your home, in furniture, pet beds, beds, carpeting, etc. To avoid flea problems in your home be sure to wash these on a regular basis and treat your animals with flea and tick medication, flea collars, medicated shampoos, and other remedies. Outside your home, keep the lawn mowed, trim vegetation, and clean out leaves and debris from your flowerbeds to allow the soil to dry easily.  Your property can be treated with insecticides. Other ways to cut down on a risk of flea infestation is by.

It doesn't matter if the pest problem comes in the form of ants, mice, or cockroaches. As soon as the pesky little critters move into your residence or your business they need to be dealt with. Some of these pests carry diseases that can be harmful to humans.

Technically, a hornet is a wasp. However, a wasp might not be a hornet.  How is this possible, you ask? Well, let me explain. A wasp is defined as any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita, excluding ants or bees. 

Which could be a hornet, or any number of other things.  So, begs the question, "What's the difference between a bee and a wasp?" 

For starters, Bees tend to be more social, have hairy bodies and subsist on a diet of pollen and nectar.  Wasps or parasitic, predators, or scavengers.  They feed off of other insects and have considerably less body hair.  For further reading and a better understanding, try this out! 

Hornets are the largest eusocial wasps. Hornets and wasps, unlike a honeybee, do not lose their stingers once they have stung you.  Meaning they can sting multiple times and continuously inject anyone or thing with their venom.

If you are experiencing hornets and any other type of wasp, please call on your local Atlanta pest control to do the job that needs doing.
