Local Pest Control Services in Marietta, GA
Dixie Exterminators has been protecting Marietta homes since 1963. From historic streets around Marietta Square and Whitlock Heights to East Cobb neighborhoods near Johnson Ferry and Paper Mill, our team delivers reliable pest control and exterminator services tailored to Marietta's climate and construction.
As a second-generation, family-owned company based right here in Marietta, we combine local expertise, professional training, and long-term customer relationships to keep your home comfortable and pest-free all year.
Pest Problems in Marietta Homes
Marietta's warm, humid weather and mix of mature trees and creek corridors in ZIP codes 30008, 30060, 30062, 30064, 30066, 30067, and 30068 create ideal conditions for pests. Ants, roaches, beetles, silverfish, millipedes, and spiders stay active almost all year.
Homes near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Sope Creek, and the Powers Ferry corridor often see higher pest pressure as insects and other pests move from wooded areas toward foundations, crawl spaces, and attics. Older crawlspace homes, slab foundations, and renovated properties each have their own pest challenges, and our pest control programs are built specifically for these North Georgia conditions.
Our Marietta 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 Marietta 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 Marietta 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, and crawl space vents
- 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 Marietta homes.
Ground Cover & Landscaping: We treat under ivy, ground cover, and dense plantings where moisture-loving pests thrive.
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 and storage spots receive extra attention due to food and shelter availability.
Decks & Elevated Structures: We treat around and beneath decks, porches, and steps to eliminate hidden harborage sites.
Crawl Spaces: 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 keep pests away.
Common Pests We Treat in Marietta
Our pest control program in Marietta targets the insects and pests most likely to invade your home:
- Ants: Sugar ants in kitchens, fire ants in yards, and other nuisance species.
- Roaches: German, American, and wood roaches that spread bacteria and trigger allergies.
- Beetles & Occasional Invaders: Seasonal beetles, crickets, earwigs, pill bugs, and more.
- Silverfish & Millipedes: Moisture-loving pests attracted to bathrooms, basements, and crawl spaces.
- Spiders: Reduced through residual treatments and regular web removal.
If it crawls and does not belong in your Marietta house, chances are we already have a proven treatment strategy for it.

- Termite Protection: Monitoring and treatment programs designed for Georgia's termite pressure.

Addressing Common Pest Control Concerns
"I've Never Needed Pest Control"
Even if you do not see pests, they are trying to enter every day. Preventive treatments are easier and less expensive than eliminating an established infestation.
"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 stops them before they invade.
"I'm Worried About Chemicals"
We focus on exterior barriers and targeted interior applications in hidden areas. All products are applied according to EPA label instructions and state regulations.
"Pest Control Is Too Expensive"
Routine service helps prevent costly damage, health risks, and repeated DIY failures. Most Marietta families find quarterly service fits easily into their home maintenance budget.
Our Marietta Pest Control Service Process
Initial Inspection & Treatment: We inspect your Marietta 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.
