Do I need quarterly pest control, bimonthly pest control, or is one-time treatment enough?

One-time treatments help temporarily, but pests return as weather changes and as their eggs start to hatch. Bi-monthly services give you consistent protection with a guarantee - if pests come back, we come back for free. Quarterly is good if you have minimal pest levels and still want a maintenance pest control service.

Why are cockroaches so common in Savannah, Georgia, and how can Atlas Pest Control eliminate them?

Cockroaches are extremely common in Savannah due to the area’s warm, humid climate, frequent rainfall, and abundance of food and moisture—ideal conditions for species like German, American, and smoky brown roaches to thrive year-round. Coastal environments and older construction also provide easy entry points and nesting areas. Atlas Pest Control eliminates cockroaches using a targeted, professional approach that includes thorough inspections, strategic baiting, crack-and-crevice treatments, and moisture control. Our treatments are designed to stop active infestations, prevent future outbreaks, and keep your home or business roach-free long term.

What is the best treatment for German roaches in Savannah homes?

How long does it take to get rid of cockroaches after a professional treatment?

After a professional cockroach treatment, most customers notice a significant reduction in activity within 24–72 hours. Depending on the severity of the infestation and the species involved, complete control typically takes 1–3 weeks. Atlas Pest Control uses proven, professional-grade treatments that target roaches at the source, including their nesting and breeding areas, to ensure long-lasting results and prevent reinfestation.

What attracts cockroaches to my home and how can I prevent them?

Cockroaches are attracted to food, moisture, and shelter. Common attractants include crumbs, uncovered trash, pet food, leaky pipes, standing water, clutter, and cracks or gaps around doors and walls. You can help prevent cockroaches by keeping your home clean, sealing entry points, fixing moisture issues, and storing food in airtight containers. Atlas Pest Control strengthens prevention by applying professional treatments and monitoring strategies that stop cockroaches before they become a problem.

What types of ants are most common in Savannah and Southern Utah?

In Savannah, Georgia, the most common ants include Argentine ants, fire ants, odorous house ants, and carpenter ants, which thrive in the warm, humid climate and are often attracted to moisture and food sources around homes. In Southern Utah, common species include pavement ants, harvester ants, odorous house ants, and carpenter ants, which are well adapted to drier conditions and often nest in soil, under concrete, or inside wall voids. Atlas Pest Control identifies the specific ant species on your property and uses targeted treatments to eliminate the colony and prevent future infestations.

How does Atlas Pest Control treat fire ants in the yard?

Atlas Pest Control treats fire ants using a targeted, multi-step approach designed to eliminate the entire colony, not just the visible mounds. Our process typically includes professional-grade baiting that worker ants carry back to the nest, followed by mound and perimeter treatments as needed. This method destroys the queen, stops reproduction, and provides long-lasting control while being safe for families, pets, and the surrounding landscape.

Why do ants keep coming back even after DIY spray treatments?

DIY spray treatments usually kill only the ants you can see, not the colony or queen hidden inside walls, soil, or under foundations. Many sprays can also cause ants to scatter and form new satellite colonies, making the problem worse. Atlas Pest Control uses professional-grade baits and targeted treatments that ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the entire colony and preventing ants from returning.

What is the best treatment for spiders in Southern Utah?

In Southern Utah’s dry climate, effective spider control combines professional inspection and targeted treatments with long-term prevention. Experts typically start with a thorough assessment of the property to identify where spiders are hiding and entering. Professional pest control uses residual perimeter treatments (such as pyrethroid-based products) around the foundation, doorways, and windows, and dust insecticides in voids and crawl spaces where spiders like brown recluses and others tend to hide — these products create barriers spiders must cross, reducing populations over time.

How does Atlas Pest Control treat scorpions around homes in Utah?

Thorough inspection & exclusion: Our technicians inspect the property to identify where scorpions are hiding and how they’re entering, then recommend or implement sealing of cracks, gaps, vents, and other entry points to block access.

Perimeter barrier treatments: We apply professional-grade residual insecticides around the foundation, doorways, and other likely travel routes to create a barrier that reduces scorpion movement toward and into the house.

Targeted treatments: In areas where scorpions frequently hide—like under rocks, debris, and around landscaping features—our team may use specialized applications, including crack-and-crevice treatments or dust formulations, to address hard-to-reach spots.

Integrated pest management: Because scorpions follow insects that serve as their prey, we often combine scorpion control with general pest and insect reduction, trimming vegetation, and reducing clutter and moisture to make the environment less attractive overall.

This combination of inspection, exclusion, professional treatments, and habitat modification gives you long-term control and minimizes scorpion encounters around your Utah home.

Are scorpions dangerous, and what can I do to keep them out?

Most scorpions found in Utah are not life-threatening, but their stings can be painful and may cause swelling, numbness, or allergic reactions—especially in children, pets, and sensitive individuals. Scorpions are nocturnal and often enter homes seeking shelter, moisture, or prey insects. You can help keep scorpions out by sealing cracks and gaps, reducing clutter and debris around your home, keeping landscaping trimmed away from the foundation, and minimizing other insects that attract them. Atlas Pest Control adds professional inspections, targeted perimeter treatments, and insect reduction programs to provide long-term scorpion control and peace of mind.

What is included in Atlas Pest controls whole-yard treatment?

Atlas Pest Control’s whole-yard (full-property) treatment goes beyond just spraying a perimeter — it’s a comprehensive pest control service for your entire property. This typically includes:

Full yard and exterior treatment — professional application across your lawn, landscaping, foundation, eaves, and other exterior surfaces to target pests where they live and travel.

Detailed inspection — technicians assess your property for problem areas, pest entry points, and conditions that attract pests.

Spider-web removal and wasp nest knock-down — common debris and nests are removed to improve effectiveness and appearance.

Base and entry point treatments — focused applications around foundations, doors, and other gaps where insects try to enter.

This whole-yard approach creates a barrier around your home and yard, helping reduce pests outside and inside, and is designed for longer-lasting control compared to simple perimeter sprays.
