So far this has been an interesting bug season. With 20 years in the industry I had only seen "bird mites" 3 times. I have seen them 5 times this year already, including in my own home. These come from birds that will often nest in your gutters and up under the edge of your shingles this time of year. They are feeding on the birds however can and will feed on humans. Females require a blood meal. They are very small. About the size of a period at the end of a sentence. They are an opaque almost gray color and can be found in bath tub areas due to the moisture. These are a problem and a health risk.
The other occurence that is fascinating to those of us in the business, is Honeybees. I have seen two cases this year. In the most recent one, the bees had entered through a hole in a mortar joint on a brick home and had established there nest between the first and second floors. In a 16" x 24" area there must of been 40 t0 50 homeycombs with honey starting to ooze through the sheetrock.
If you see bees congregating around a particular area of your home and thought they were yellow jackets or something, you should have it inspected.

I was out driving over the weekend and as I sat at a red light, I saw a cloud of insects in the air. Soon they were flying in my window, and to my delight, it was termite swarmers. I arrived at a memorial service I was going to and within 45 minutes I had five calls come in from prospects for swarming termites. It is here. I have warned of this for a few weeks now. They swarm by the hundreds and fly very erratically and there wings often fall off in flight. They are black with two sets of wings of equal length. This can and often does happen inside the home. There will be small holes in the wall with dirt around them if your lucky enough to see where they came from. Where you see them is not necessarily where they came from because they always end up near a window or door in their efforts to return to the soil.
If it has happened to you or if you want to avoid having it happen, CALL TODAY FOR A FREE INSPECTION!! Putting it off makes a treatment cost more and you will most likely incur the costs of repairing damages..... If your not protected, there are two types of homes in Georgia, those that have termites and those that will. www.holeinonepest.com 770-708-2945

I just wanted to update this post and remind everyone that if you or anyone you know see's hundreds of small black winged insects flying from their wall, this most likely is not ants. Termites are swarming big time right now, so keep your eyes peeled for the swarmers, and also for the holes in the sheetrock that appear to have dirt coming out of them. We offer Free Inspections!!

More times than not the woodpeckers are going after the larve from the carpenter bees. (The big black bumble bees that swarm in the spring) These bees ususallly attack in the soffit and facia area and around decks unless you have cedar siding and then they love it all.
I've always heard that "IF" you have woodpeckers pecking on your house, usually in the chimney area, more than likely you have termites. How true is this?????

Well Neighbors, we had a really warm weekend this past weekend. Every year around the April time frame, when we have a real warm day after a rain, termites start swarming. A termite colony is made up of four colony members. Only one of those members, the worker, has the ability to come up from the ground and feed. They are repsonsible for feeding all the other colony members. Over the years, the colony grows and becomes too large for the workers to provide food for. The colony then develops winged reproductives, whose purpose is to swarm out, go down to the ground and form a new colony. That has started happening now. These guys swarm in large numbers, usually hundreds and hundreds. You will often see wings laying around on the ground because they fall off in flight. The flight is very erratic and they will usually head toward a source of light like a window or door and then die on the floor within a couple of hours if they cant get back to the soil.
For a colony to reach the point that they swarm, usually takes 3 to 5 years. Aside from the wings, and the flying termites, another sign that you might see is small holes in your sheetrock or wood that looks like it has dirt around it. These are swarm holes and mean a swarm either has, or is about to take place.
All this signify's the beginning of the very active termite season. Get your home INSPECTED FOR FREE!!! Message us on PCom or visit www.holeinonepest.com or you can call 770-708-2945.

Problems like
these can put your family and health at risk due to the bacteria and pathogens these critter's can bring into your home. Their are other issues that can occur as well, such as, contamination of food, chewing of wiring by rodents etc. If these issues have been of concern to you and have been put off because of the busy holiday season, give "Hole-In-One Pest Solutions" a call TODAY!!

During this time of the year, the mindset of the average Homeowner change's to other things, the Holidays, the cool weather etc.
In Georgia we don't experience harsh enough winter's to kill off the termite population, resulting in activity 12 month's per year.
I have been in the business 20 years, and I find no less termites in November than I do in July. The difference is the mindset
changes.As a result, that part of our industry slows down, and as a result, it's an opportunity for Homeowner's to save a great
deal of money.
We offer FREE TERMITE EVALUATION'S, and if we identify problems, we will show them to you and discuss solutions, and if
you decide to become a customer, you will receive a $150 discount off the cost of the treatment.
We offer both traditional liquid treatments and Termite Baiting Systems. Call TODAY to schedule your inspection. If this is
something you know you have been needing to do, now is an excellent time. Call 770-708-2945 or visit www.holeinonepest.com

Well believe it or not, the holidays aren't far away. It seem's hard to believe, but they aways have a way of sneaking up on us. The cooler weather sends a lot of nature's pest looking for a warmer place to live. American Roaches, Spiders and mice are rampant right now.

Cockroach Control
German Cockroach, Blattella germanica, is the cockroach most frequently encountered by Georgia exterminators. If there's anything that most people agree on, it's that they hate cockroaches — and not without good reason. Cockroaches are filthy insects that are implicated in the transmission of serious diseases including dysentery, typhoid, poliomyelitis, gastroenteritis, and other illnesses whose pathogens they pick up on their bodies while walking across filth. Their shed skins and droppings also can trigger asthma and other respiratory problems, and they give off a distinctive, unpleasant odor that can permeate food and other stored products.
Roaches also reproduce prolifically. Under ideal circumstances, if a single female cockroach carrying an ootheca (egg sack) gets into your home or business, her progeny may number in the hundreds of cockroaches within a few months, and in the thousands within a year.
Georgia Cockroach Species
German Cockroaches
The German Cockroach, Blattella Germanica (pictured on the upper right), is the cockroach most frequently encountered by Georgia pest control operators. German cockroaches average between one-half and three-quarters of an inch in length (not counting the antennae) and are reddish-brown in color. They also have a distinct, dark-colored longitudinal stripe on the top of the pronotum. Adults have fully-developed wings and seem to possess all the muscles and nerves necessary for flight, but they don't fly.
German cockroaches require a warm, somewhat damp environment with ready access to food and water. They are most commonly encountered in or near kitchens and bathrooms, but they also can be found in other areas where suitable conditions exist. Although they are not social insects — there is no division of labor and a solitary cockroach can survive just fine on its own — German cockroaches can often be found in large groups living in close proximity to each other where suitable conditions exist. They also leave pheromone trails — chemical markers that can help other roaches find food and water and may be involved in mating.
German cockroaches are averse to light and will scurry into their hiding places when the lights are turned on in a darkened room. They usually live in cracks, crevices, and other protected places, and like to have surfaces touching both their feet and their bodies when they're not actively foraging. This habit is called thigmotaxis and is one of the reasons why effective control of German cockroach requires a high level of skill and precise application.
American Cockroaches (a/k/a "Palmetto Bugs")
American Cockroach, most commonly referred to as the "Palmetto bug" in Georgia, is the largest cockroach in North America. The American Cockroach, Periplaneta Americana (pictured to the right), is often called the "Palmetto bug" in Georgia and elsewhere in the South, and the "waterbug" in the North. American cockroaches are the largest cockroaches in North America, sometimes reaching lengths of almost two inches. They're also among the fastest-moving of all terrestrial insects: In a 1991 experiment at the University of California at Berkeley, an American cockroach was clocked running at the blazing speed of 3.4 mph — the equivalent of a human being running at 205 mph.
Palmetto bugs favor dark, moist areas close to sources of food, but they can survive in dry areas if they have ready access to water. Their diet consists of decaying organic matter. They're commonly found in basements, sewers, utility tunnels and chaseways, in voids under bathtubs, and similar dark areas close to sources of food and water. Like most roaches, they are averse to light and will rapidly scurry away from light; so many people don't even know they have a Palmetto bug problem (or don't know how extensive the problem is) until they happen to walk into their basement at night and turn the lights on.

Lately, we have received many calls regarding severe ant infestations. Each call has been similar in description, and upon inspection have turned out to be what those in the industry know as "odorous house ants". These guy are infesting in large numbers and invading kitchens and bathrooms in most cases. Ants are always a problem this time of year, but I believe we are seeing extraordinary numbers this year due to the hot dry weather we have experienced over the last couple of weeks.
If your considering treating these yourself, be careful with spraying. Spraying will kill the ants that you spray directly, but it will repel the others, often causing a split in the colony and therefore spreading the ants throughout your home or business. Baiting is often the best approach for an ant infestation of this kind.

They were on my leg before I saw the nest. After treating several stings I emptied 2 cans of wasp and hornet spray on em.
Well hopefully that solved the problem. If not let me know. If you have any other pest control needs or want to save money on termite protection, keep us in mind. Thank You

Most home owners don't think a lot about their gutters. But, it's important to have gutters cleaned out regularly--ideally twice a year.
Why? If gutters aren't cleaned regularly, they will clog up when it rains. The standing water will back up, overflow, and 0ver time, they will pull loose from the house. The standing water will also rot wood gutters and rust sheet metal ones.
So, get your gutters cleaned regularly to avoid expensive repairs in the future!
I would love to develop a working relationship where we could refer each other. I am often looking at those areas because ongoing moisture issues often lead to termite and pest issues and many moisture issues come from neglected or improperly installed gutters. Let me know if your interested.

I met several of these rascals last weekend when cutting back my parents shrubbery. Needless to say they will not be getting Christmas cards from me this year.
Oh I hear ya!! They are very aggressive. What did you do to take care of them?

Lately we have had a flood of calls regarding the "Bald Faced Hornet". These are the black hornets with a white face that build the grayish paper nest in trees shrubs, on the eaves of homes, attached to patio furniture etc. They have "sentries" that constantly fly around the opening of the nest to alert the others of potential danger. These bees are very aggressive, and attack in large numbers when they feel threatened. If you need more information or need help with a problem of this nature, please send us a message.
We are still offering 15% OFF Pest Control Related Services and $100 off a New Termite Service for "Paulding.com" subscribers.
See our blog at www.holeinonepest.com/blog for more info on the Bald Face Hornet.

We like to deal with them humanely. I have a beekeeper that has gone with me on jobs in the past. When they are in the walls of someones house its not always possible but most of the time it can be managed. They are fascinating creatures.
