Local Pest Control Services in Atlanta, GA
Dixie Exterminators has been protecting Atlanta homes since 1963. From historic streets in Grant Park, Inman Park, and Virginia-Highland to high-rises in Midtown and Buckhead townhomes, our team delivers reliable pest control and exterminator services tailored to Atlanta's dense tree canopy, older construction, and urban lifestyle.
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 intown home, condo, or townhome comfortable and pest-free all year.
Pest Problems in Atlanta Homes
Atlanta's warm, humid summers, mature trees, and mix of older homes and newer infill construction in ZIP codes 30303, 30305, 30306, 30307, 30308, 30309, 30310, 30311, 30312, 30313, 30314, 30315, 30316, 30317, 30318, 30319, and 30324 create ideal conditions for pests.
Intown neighborhoods near the BeltLine, parks, and creek corridors see heavy activity from ants, roaches (including large "palmetto bug" roaches), spiders, beetles, and other pests as they move from tree lines, alleys, and shared walls toward foundations, crawl spaces, and garages. Our pest control programs are built specifically for these intown Atlanta conditions.
Our Atlanta 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 Atlanta homes, condos, and townhomes
- Exterior barrier applications to stop pests before they get inside
- Interior spot treatments where activity is detected, including kitchens and utility areas
- 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 Atlanta 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, patios, and crawl space vents
- Attention to alley sides, shared driveways, and tight access areas common in intown neighborhoods
- 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 Atlanta homes.
Ground Cover & Landscaping: We treat under ivy, ground cover, and dense plantings where moisture-loving pests thrive along fences and retaining walls.
Mulch & Pine Straw: When needed, we pull back mulch or pine straw and apply granular products 1–3 feet from the foundation.
Trash & Storage Areas: Outdoor trash can locations, alleys, and storage spots receive extra attention due to food and shelter availability.
Decks, Porches & Under-Stairs: We treat around and beneath decks, porches, and exterior stairs to eliminate hidden harborage sites.
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 Atlanta
Our pest control program in Atlanta targets the insects and pests most likely to invade your home or condo:
- Ants: Sugar ants in kitchens, fire ants in yards, and other nuisance species along driveways and sidewalks.
- Roaches: German roaches in kitchens and baths, plus large American and smokybrown roaches often called "palmetto bugs."
- Beetles & Occasional Invaders: Seasonal beetles, crickets, earwigs, pill bugs, and more.
- Silverfish & Millipedes: Moisture-loving pests attracted to basements, bathrooms, and utility areas.
- Spiders: Reduced through residual treatments and regular web removal around eaves, porches, and balconies.
If it crawls and does not belong in your Atlanta home, chances are we already have a proven treatment strategy for it.
Beyond General Pest Control
In addition to general pest control in Atlanta, Dixie Exterminators offers:
- Termite Protection: Monitoring and treatment programs designed for Georgia's heavy termite pressure and Atlanta's mix of old and new construction.
- Mosquito Reduction: Seasonal mosquito treatments so you can enjoy patios, courtyards, and backyards longer.
- Wildlife Control: Humane removal and exclusion for squirrels, raccoons, and other nuisance wildlife around attics and rooflines.
Many Atlanta homeowners combine pest control, termite protection, and mosquito reduction for complete home coverage.

Experienced Technicians: Many of our technicians have 20+ years in the field and know Atlanta's neighborhoods, construction styles, and pest pressures firsthand.
Dedicated Routes: You will typically see the same familiar technician at each visit, so they learn the unique details of your home, building, or property.
Complimentary Retreatment: If pests return between scheduled services, we come back at no additional charge.
Local & Accessible: Our brick office in Marietta is a short drive from most Atlanta neighborhoods, and our team answers the phone locally, not through a call center.
Addressing Common Pest Control Concerns
"I live in a condo or townhome, can you still help?"
Yes. We regularly service Atlanta condos, townhomes, and duplexes. We coordinate with property managers when needed and focus on exterior entry points, patios, and the interior areas you approve.
"I only call when I see bugs"
By the time you see roaches or ants, many more are hidden in walls, cabinets, or utility chases. Our barrier system helps stop them before they invade your living spaces.
"I'm worried about chemicals in a small space"
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.
"Scheduling is hard with Atlanta traffic"
We offer appointment windows and exterior-focused visits that often do not require you to be home, making it easier to keep protection in place even with a busy schedule.
Our Atlanta Pest Control Service Process
Initial Inspection & Treatment: We inspect your Atlanta 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, 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Atlanta Pest Control FAQs
-
What pests are most common in Atlanta homes and condos?
In Atlanta, our general pest control program most often targets ants, German roaches, large American and smokybrown roaches, spiders, silverfish, millipedes, centipedes, earwigs, crickets, and other occasional invaders. We also offer separate services for termites, mosquitoes, and nuisance wildlife. -
Do you service all intown Atlanta ZIP codes?
Yes. We provide pest control throughout intown Atlanta, including ZIP codes 30303, 30305, 30306, 30307, 30308, 30309, 30310, 30311, 30312, 30313, 30314, 30315, 30316, 30317, 30318, 30319, and 30324, as well as many nearby communities. -
Can you treat condos, townhomes, and duplexes in the city?
Absolutely. We regularly service attached homes and multifamily properties. We focus on exterior entry points, patios, balconies, and interior areas you approve. When needed, we coordinate with property managers or HOA guidelines. -
Does living near the BeltLine or a park increase pest activity?
Yes. Homes and buildings near green spaces, creeks, and wooded corridors often experience higher pest pressure. Moisture, leaf litter, and harborage areas give pests ideal conditions, which is why a consistent exterior barrier is especially important in these locations. -
How often should I schedule pest control in Atlanta?
Most Atlanta homeowners benefit from quarterly service. This schedule keeps your exterior barrier active through each season and helps prevent infestations before they start. Homes with heavier pest pressure or shared walls may choose more frequent visits. -
Are your treatments safe for children and pets in smaller spaces?
Yes. We emphasize exterior barriers and targeted interior applications in low-contact or hidden areas. All products are applied according to EPA labels and Georgia regulations, and we are happy to explain exactly where and how we treat during your visit. -
Do I need to be home for every service visit?
Not always. For exterior-only treatments, you do not need to be home. If interior service is needed, we will schedule a time that works for you. Many Atlanta families appreciate the flexibility and convenience of exterior-focused visits, especially with busy work and commute schedules. -
How quickly can you come out to my Atlanta home?
Most Atlanta appointments are available within the same week, and we prioritize urgent issues such as active infestations. Call our office and we will work to schedule you as soon as possible.
