Pests in Georgia enjoy our beautiful summers here as much as we do.  Most pests thrive in the warm summer months.  However, we usually experience an explosion of ants during these months.

Fire Ants start appearing, with their tell-tale mounds, all over our yards.  Encounters are unfortunate and very painful for the unsuspecting person disturbing a fire ant colony.  Argentine ants start trailing around the foundations of our homes and, inevitably, identify a moisture or food source inside.  This leads to trails of hundreds or thousands of tiny ants into bathrooms and kitchens.  Homeowner’s attempts to get rid of the problem themselves only make the problem worse.  Extremely dry or wet conditions will also force ants to seek shelter inside our houses.

Summer is also the time for mosquitoes and ticks to appear.  A few days after rain homeowners may notice squadrons of mosquitoes attempting a hostile takeover of their yard.  The rain causes most mosquito eggs deposited in the past to activate and develop into adult females who need a blood meal in order to reproduce.  They can become a menace and totally take away the enjoyment of your yard.  Ticks can also become a problem for children or pets.  Both of these pests can inflict bites that can transmit harmful diseases.
