GOT A PEST PROBLEMIN AUGUSTA?

Exclusion (sealing entry points) is more effective long-term than trapping alone for Augusta rodent problems. Signs: gaps around plumbing penetrations, gnaw marks on wood trim, droppings near appliances.

Augusta's damp basements and water-damaged wood attract carpenter ant colonies. Untreated, satellite nests spread. Signs: winged swarmers in spring, sawdust near deck joists, persistent ant trails from outdoor wood.

Tick treatments for Augusta yards target leaf litter, lawn edges, and stone walls where ticks shelter. Signs: ticks on socks after walking through grass, attached ticks on pets, deer activity near property.

Build nests under eaves and in attics across Augusta each summer. Highly aggressive when disturbed. Signs: papery nests, increased wasp activity near roof overhangs.

Sealing gaps in siding, windows, and attic vents in late summer is the best defense for Augusta homes. Signs: bugs squeezing through gaps in cedar shingles, evening fly-ins to porch lights, foul odor from vacuum bags.

Heat treatment and chemical follow-up are the most reliable bed bug elimination methods in Augusta. Signs: bugs in alarm clocks and electrical outlets, bites recurring after one room is treated, eggs in luggage seams.
