Georgia summers bring sunshine, barbecues, and… a wave of pest infestations that catch most homeowners off guard. This year is no exception. Thanks to record humidity, frequent rainstorms, and climbing temperatures across the state, pests are multiplying fast, and many are finding their way into homes, garages, and attics.
At Arete Pest Control, we’ve seen a dramatic spike in emergency calls this month. If you’re in Alpharetta, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Roswell, or anywhere in Metro Atlanta, now is the time to act. Here’s what to expect—and how to protect your home before pests do permanent damage.
What Pests Are Booming in Georgia Right Now?
Ants: Small but Relentless
July heat drives ants indoors in search of food and water. You might spot trails along baseboards, kitchen counters, or even in bathroom sinks. Sugar ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants are particularly aggressive right now.
Pro tip: Store food in sealed containers and wipe down surfaces daily. But if you’re seeing ants daily—even after cleaning—it’s time for professional help.
Mosquitoes: The Silent Invaders
If you’re getting eaten alive just stepping outside, you’re not alone. Warm, wet weather has turned yards and gutters into breeding zones. Mosquitoes thrive in standing water, even in the tiniest amounts.
We recommend treating your lawn and perimeter early—before dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. Our mosquito control program targets them at the source and keeps them from coming back.
Spiders: More Webs, More Worry
As insect activity increases, spiders follow. They nest in corners, garages, sheds, and basements to take advantage of the food supply. While most Georgia spiders are harmless, brown recluses and black widows are still a concern—especially for families with kids or pets.
Seeing webs in multiple rooms or storage areas? You’ve got an indoor infestation. Let Arete sweep them out safely.
Rodents: Heat Sends Them Inside Too
You might think rats and mice are winter problems—but they’re just as active in summer. When heat rises in attics or food gets scarce outdoors, rodents sneak inside through tiny cracks, vents, and roof gaps.
Listen for scratching in the walls at night. One mouse can mean dozens. Our rodent exclusion process seals off entry points and removes the source—for good.
Why 2025 Is a “Super Season” for Pest Activity
According to climate data and our own field reports, this summer is showing:
Higher-than-average rainfall across North and Central Georgia
Increased soil moisture and warm nights—ideal breeding conditions
More pest displacement due to construction and suburban sprawl
These conditions mean one thing: pests are growing faster and spreading farther than ever. Homes that have never had a problem are calling us for urgent treatment—and yours could be next.
Don’t Wait Until You See Pests—Act Now
By the time pests are visible, the infestation is already well underway. Waiting only gives them time to breed, damage property, and spread bacteria.
