Pest Identification
The best way to get rid of springtails is to control underlying moisture factors surrounding your yard. Although this form of maintenance is possible (and essential) for a healthy yard, please note there's no way to completely eliminate the water content in your property. That's why it may be more economical to turn to the professional team at American Pest Control: Georgia's trusted provider of pest identification and management.

Insects and Spiders

Ants
Fire Ants get their name from the venom injected by a stinger that leaves a burning sensation followed by tiny, itching bites. They are aggressive ants that swarm over anything that disturbs their nests, which can be an unpleasant surprise if accidentally stumbled upon. They can cause damage to crops, building structures, and electrical equipment, making these pests an even bigger problem. The most common fire ant species seen in Northeast Georgia are the southern fire ant, the tropical fire ant, and the red imported fire ant.
Spiders
SpidersÂ are predatory arachnids that get their food by injecting prey with venom and then liquefying its insides to suck them out. There are over 35,000 species of spiders in the world, and we have more than 3,000 right here in the United States. The good news is, despite the admittedly horrifying way they feed themselves, most of the spiders you will run across in your home are going to be harmless.
Termites
Termites are small, social insects that belong to the order Isoptera. They are known for their ability to break down cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in wood and plant materials. There are many different species of termites, but the most common types in North America are native Eastern subterranean termites, followed by Southeastern drywood termites and Formosan termites. Each kind of termite has its own habits and behavior, but all feed on plant materials. They can cause severe damage to wooden structures, such as houses and furniture when left unchecked. For this reason, it is important to have regular termite inspections done by a licensed termite control company like American Pest Control.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small insects that feed exclusively on the blood of humans and animals. Their oval-shaped bodies are rusty brown when unfed and reddish-brown after feeding. These pests are nocturnal and typically feed on their hosts at night when they are asleep. Bed bugs are a common household pest and can be found all over the world, particularly in areas with large human populations. Bed bugs can live for several months without feeding, making it difficult to eradicate them. Over the past couple of years, bed bug infestations have been on the rise. It's important to understand how they live, reproduce, and spread to prevent an infestation.
Fleas
Fleas used to be incredibly dangerous to humans. Long ago, they were one of the primary vectors for the worst pandemic in human history: the bubonic plague. Plague is an easily curable disease nowadays, so it is incredibly rare to wind up with it, much less die of it. That being said, fleas are very dangerous to your pets because they can spread a variety of serious illnesses to dogs and cats, which is why it's especially important to avoid winding up with a flea infestation if you have pets.
Cockroaches
Finding cockroaches in your home is never a pleasant experience. These repulsive pests are not only a cause of significant discomfort but can also pose significant health risks. They are known to carry pathogenic microbes on their bodies that can contaminate your food and surfaces, leading to food poisoning or allergies. Additionally, their nocturnal nature and rapid reproduction rates make them extremely difficult to eliminate, turning a seemingly small problem into a full-blown infestation if not addressed immediately and professionally.
Silverfish
Many pest control services in Georgia offer treatment options for silverfish, an insect attracted to damp or humid conditions. Preferring to live in quiet, dark corners, these arthropods hail from the Zygentoma order and are easily identified by their silvery bodies and back-and-forth fishlike movements.
Bees
Bees play a crucial role in our ecosystem, but when they become a nuisance or safety hazard, it's important to address the issue. Bee infestations can be both dangerous and disruptive, especially if they occur near homes or businesses. At American Pest Control, we specialize in safe and effective bee removal and control services.
Wasps
Stinging insects, such as bees and wasps, are known for their ability to defend themselves by delivering painful stings. They can be a threat to individuals who are allergic to their venom. Stinging insects typically build nests in trees, under roof eaves, or in other outdoor structures. It's important to exercise caution and take appropriate measures to prevent encounters and minimize the risk of stings.
Ticks
Ticks are more than just an unpleasant nuisance, as they can pose a significant threat to human and animal health. These tiny parasitic insects are notorious for their ability to latch onto their hosts and feed on their blood, often going unnoticed until they have fully engorged themselves. More alarmingly, ticks are carriers of various diseases, many of which can have serious health implications if left untreated. As a result, keeping your yard free of ticks isnâ€™t just about maintaining comfort â€“ itâ€™s also about protecting yourself and your loved ones.
Earwigs
Earwigs. Earwigs, despite their unpleasant appearance, usually pose little threat to humans. However, their presence in a home can still be unsettling. Earwigs typically prefer cool, damp places and are thus often attracted to basements, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. They can infiltrate homes through cracks and crevices, particularly during dry weather when they are in search of moisture. Earwigs can also be brought indoors inadvertently on items like firewood or outdoor furniture. While they are primarily outdoor pests, once inside your home, earwigs can multiply rapidly and become difficult to eradicate without professional treatment.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are a massive nuisance at best and a carrier of dangerous diseases at worst. That is why American Pest Control created the "No-Squito" program to provide comprehensive mosquito elimination and protection for our valued clients.
Flies
Thousands of different kinds of flies live worldwide, with a handful making a name for themselves as common household pests. Flies are prolific breeders and can take over our properties in Athens, Georgia, and the surrounding area in the blink of an eye. Our pest guide provides the information necessary to keep these flying pests away from you and your family with the help of our team.
Centipedes
Despite their name meaning â€œ100 legs,â€ most centipedes have between 15 and 191 legs. The number of legs depends on the species and size of the centipede. However, an interesting fact is that they will always have an odd number of legs! Centipedes have a segmented worm-like body that is brown or yellowish-brown and flattened from top to bottom. Each segment has one pair of legs extending from it. Centipedes are known for their ability to run quickly.
Millipedes
Millipedes spray toxic fluid from glands on their sides to defend themselves against potential harm. The fluid can cause a skin reaction, so avoiding contact with them is best.
Beetles
There are around 350,000 different species of beetles living worldwide. They are a diverse group of organisms with varying appearances, food preferences, and habitats. Use this guide to learn about the beetles that call our region home.
Scorpions
North American scorpions are generally not dangerous. Most scorpions can inflict a painful sting that causes swelling and redness at the site of the injury, but little more. A scorpion sting might hurt for a few hours, but you will be no worse for the wear in the long run. There's only one exception to this rule here in the United States: the Arizona bark scorpion.
Hornets
Certain social stinging insects, like yellow jackets and hornets, can be more of an issue. These aggressive bugs tend to swarm and assault anything they perceive as a threat. This can leave you with dozens or even hundreds of stings, which can be a much more serious matter. Of course, anyone who is allergic to insect venom is in mortal danger no matter the number of stings, but even someone who is not allergic can need medical attention if they suffer a prolonged attack and many stings.
Yellowjackets
Some of these insects, like mud daubers, almost never sting. Some of them, like yellow jackets, will sting at the drop of a hat.
Stinging Insects
Stinging insects are, as their moniker suggests, insects that sting. However, that definition is very broad and can include a wide variety of insects, some of which are highly aggressive and some of which are disinclined to sting at all, even if they can.
Springtails
Springtails are a type of backyard hexapod located in the United States. Sometimes referred to as cryptozoa, you can find these organisms living in soil or decaying organic matter near moist, marshy patches of earth.

Raccoons
Raccoons, while often seen as cute and cuddly, can quickly become a nuisance when they invade your property. These clever critters are known for their destructive behavior, which can cause significant damage to your home and belongings. If you're dealing with a raccoon infestation in Athens, GA, it's essential to seek professional help.
Wildlife
Opossums
The best method of tick prevention is wildlife prevention. If you keep your pets on flea and tick medicine and take precautions to protect yourself when you go into the wilderness, then the hosts most likely to bring ticks onto your property are raccoons, rats, mice, opossums, and the like.

Birds

Rodents
Pests pose a significant risk to businesses, with potential impacts stretching far beyond mere inconvenience. A pest infestation can severely impact a company's reputation, customer satisfaction, and even its bottom line. From restaurants to retail stores, any business can be susceptible to pests, and the consequences can be catastrophic if an infestation is not handled promptly and professionally. Whether it's rodents infiltrating a storage area, insects in a dining space, or more subtle pest-related health hazards, these unwanted invaders can result in hygiene issues, property damage, and even closure by regulatory bodies, causing substantial financial loss.
Mice
American Pest Control is your go-to solution for comprehensive and reliable residential rodent control in Athens, GA. When you choose our team, you choose honesty, integrity, and service excellence. Our rodent elimination experts are prepared to locate all rats and mice in your home before leveraging cutting-edge and eco-friendly techniques to safely remove them as quickly as possible.

Rats
Rodents can even damage your homeâ€™s drainage and sewer systems. Rats in particular can squeeze into and navigate pipes, and their feces, nesting materials, and other waste can cause leaks and blockages. These plumbing issues can lead to water damage to your home, which in turn fosters the growth of mold and mildew.
Squirrels
Note that these are just the rodents that commonly invade homes. The above list does not include rodents like squirrels and gophers, which tend to stay outside.
Gophers
