Local Pest Control Services in Alpharetta, GA
Dixie Exterminators has been protecting North Fulton homes since 1963. From historic Downtown Alpharetta and charming streets near Academy Street to master-planned communities like Windward, Avalon area townhomes, and neighborhoods along GA 400, our team delivers reliable pest control and exterminator services tailored to Alpharetta's wooded lots and changing seasons.
As a second-generation, family-owned company based in Metro Atlanta, we combine local expertise, professional training, and long-term customer relationships to keep your home comfortable and pest-free all year.
Pest Problems in Alpharetta Homes
Alpharetta's warm summers, mild winters, and heavy tree cover in ZIP codes 30004, 30005, 30009, and 30022 create ideal conditions for pests. Ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish, millipedes, and other insects can stay active much of the year around basements, crawl spaces, garages, and landscaped beds.
Homes near the Big Creek Greenway, Lake Windward, and wooded corridors behind neighborhoods like Windward, Kimball Bridge Road communities, and neighborhoods along Old Milton Parkway and Webb Bridge Road often experience higher pest pressure as insects and other pests move from natural harborage areas toward foundations, siding, and decks. Our pest control programs are built specifically for these North Fulton conditions.
Our Alpharetta Pest Control Protection Plan
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all pest control. Our Integrated Pest Management approach uses inspection, monitoring, and targeted treatments to protect your home while minimizing product use indoors.
- Quarterly or customized treatment schedules for Alpharetta homes
- Exterior barrier applications to stop pests before they get inside
- Interior spot treatments where activity is detected
- Monitoring devices placed in key areas for ongoing insight
- Clear communication and service tickets after every visit
Exterior Barrier Pest Control
Our exterior treatments create an invisible, odorless barrier around your Alpharetta home. You will not see or smell it, but pests do, and that is what matters.
- Three-foot strip around the foundation and key structural edges
- Targeted applications at door thresholds, window wells, garage door framing, and crawl space vents
- Special attention around air conditioning pads, utility penetrations, and landscaping borders
- Products selected for long-lasting control between quarterly visits
- Barrier restored and reinforced at every service
This proactive approach turns your exterior into the first line of defense, dramatically reducing pest activity indoors.
Detailed Treatment Around Your Home
Our technicians look beyond the basics to protect all the places pests like to hide around Alpharetta homes.
Ground Cover & Landscaping: We treat under ivy, ground cover, and dense plantings where moisture-loving pests thrive along retaining walls and fence lines.
Mulch & Pine Straw: When needed, we pull back mulch or pine straw and apply granular products 1–3 feet from the foundation to cut down on harborage areas.
Trash & Storage Areas: Outdoor trash can locations, under decks, and storage spots receive extra attention due to food and shelter availability.
Decks & Outdoor Living Spaces: We treat around and beneath decks, porches, and steps to eliminate hidden harborage sites near patios, play sets, and seating areas.
Crawl Spaces & Basements: When accessible, we apply bait to sill plates, around vents, and other conducive areas to control pests at the source.
Each visit concludes with a quick exterior inspection, spider web removal using our webster tool, and notes on any issues you can correct to help keep pests away.
Common Pests We Treat in Alpharetta
Our pest control program in Alpharetta targets the insects and pests most likely to invade your home:
- Ants: Sugar ants in kitchens and bathrooms, fire ants in yards and play areas, and other nuisance species.
- Roaches: German roaches in kitchens and baths, plus large American and smokybrown roaches that can appear around decks and entry doors.
- Beetles & Occasional Invaders: Seasonal beetles, crickets, earwigs, pill bugs, and more.
- Silverfish & Millipedes: Moisture-loving pests attracted to basements, utility rooms, and crawl spaces.
- Spiders: Reduced through residual treatments and regular web removal around eaves, porches, and outdoor lighting.
If it crawls and does not belong in your Alpharetta house, chances are we already have a proven treatment strategy for it.
Beyond General Pest Control
In addition to general pest control in Alpharetta, Dixie Exterminators offers:
- Termite Protection: Monitoring and treatment programs designed for Georgia's heavy termite pressure and Alpharetta's mix of older and newer construction.
- Mosquito Reduction: Seasonal mosquito treatments so you can enjoy decks, pools, and backyards longer.
- Wildlife Control: Humane removal and exclusion for squirrels, raccoons, and other nuisance wildlife around attics and rooflines.
Many Alpharetta homeowners combine pest control, termite protection, and mosquito reduction for complete home coverage.

Addressing Common Pest Control Concerns
"My home is newer, do I really need pest control?"
Even new homes in Alpharetta develop gaps at utility lines, garage framing, and siding transitions. Preventive treatments are easier and less expensive than eliminating an established infestation later.
"I only call when I see bugs"
By the time you see roaches or ants, many more are hidden in walls, cabinets, or crawl spaces. Our barrier system helps stop them before they invade your living spaces.
"I am worried about treatments around pets and backyard spaces"
We focus on exterior barriers and targeted interior applications in hidden or low-contact areas. All products are applied according to EPA label instructions and state regulations, and we are happy to explain where and how we treat.
"Our neighborhood has an HOA, can you work with them?"
Yes. We are used to servicing HOA and swim-tennis communities. We respect parking rules, amenity access, and any neighborhood guidelines while keeping your home protected.
Our Alpharetta Pest Control Service Process
Initial Inspection & Treatment: We inspect your Alpharetta home inside and out, identify problem areas, and perform a thorough first service to establish your protection system.
Custom Plan: We recommend a schedule, usually quarterly, that matches your pest pressure, construction type, tree cover, and personal preferences.
Ongoing Maintenance: Each visit includes reinforcing the exterior barrier, addressing new issues, removing spider webs, and updating you on what we found.
Guaranteed Results: If you notice pest activity between regular visits, call us. We will return for complimentary retreatment.
