We treat your entire yard to keep ants from getting into your home or invading your lawn.
Spiders
There are over 35,000 species of spiders worldwide, with approximately 3,000 residing in North America. Many species of spiders are household pests. Wherever there is food available, spiders are likely to be found. Some spiders like moisture and are found in basements, crawl spaces and other damp parts of buildings. Others like dry, warm areas such as sub-floor air vents, upper corners of rooms and attics. They hide in dark areas. All spiders are predators, feeding mainly on insects and other small arthropods. In the United States, only two spider groups are harmful to humans, the black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders. Both of these groups are composed of several species.
Termites
Termidor® is a non-repellent termiticide, meaning that termites in and around your home are not repelled by the effects of the treatment. Since the termites are unable to smell, taste, or see Termidor, the termites do not avoid the treatment. This means that termites, that are already in the soil around your home, will inevitably begin to tunnel through the treated soil and begin to die. Also because Termidor is designed specifically to work slowly termites do not die quickly, instead, Termidor works with the biology of the termite. Termites continually manipulate the soil with their mouths and consume the termiticide. Then as termites begin to feed and clean each other the termiticide is transferred throughout the colony and eliminates a greater number of termites. This process is called the Termidor “Transfer Effect™”.
Bed Bugs
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a safer, more effective, and environmentally friendly approach to bed bug treatment and pest control. An IPM program involves inspection of the property, identification of pests and harborage areas, sealing off entry points, treating attics, basements, crawl spaces, the use of traps, and sanitation.
Fleas
A— No. With the proper use of pesticides according to label directions, used at proper rates, taking precautions, such as removing pets until after the treatment is dry, and using a little common sense to avoid unnecessary exposure, no pets will be harmed because of the treatment. Safeguarding the health of our customers and their pets are of utmost importance to us. Many of the products pest management professionals use are also used by veterinarians to treat pets for fleas.
Cockroaches
Although cockroaches are not social insects, they are gregarious or commonly occur in groups. They will feed on practically anything of nutritional value. Cockroaches are among the most important pests of households and commercial establishments. Not only is their mere presence a nuisance, but they are capable of carrying common pathogens as well as causing allergic reactions in many people. Cockroaches can wreak havoc on your home.
Silverfish
Ants, cockroaches, spiders, bees, silverfish and other crawling insects are common problems in Georgia homes and businesses.
Bees
Bees, hornets and wasps are the major pollinators of flowering plants and help reduce the numbers of many insect pest species. However, strings from these insects account for about 30 percent of the 54 reported deaths.
Wasps

Ticks
You probably never thought that ticks can be a major problem for a huge animal like a moose, but they are. An average of 33,000 winter ticks, also called moose ticks, infest each moose, according to one study done in western Canada. Fortunately, this kind of tick only rarely attack humans! The ticks get so […]

Flies
DNA sequencing techniques were used to study the collection of microbes found on flies. The house fly was found to harbor 351 types of bacteria, and the blowfly carried 316 types, some of which were the same bacteria as on the house fly. This is a larger number of bacteria that flies carry than previously […]
Beetles
Bats are a valuable part of Georgia’s ecosystem. They provide a beneficial service by foraging on flying insects, many of which are pests. A single bat can eat hundreds of mosquitoes in one hour or about half its own body weight in one night. They also eat large numbers of moths and beetles that cause agricultural damage.
Hornets
The Asian Giant Hornet, which kills up to 50 people a year in Japan, has been spotted in the United States for the first time. These hornets, called murder hornets in the media, have a potent venom and stinger—at ¼ inch long, their huge stinger is long enough to puncture a beekeeping suit. Victims have […]
Moths
Stinging Insects
Bees, hornets and wasps are the major pollinators of flowering plants and help reduce the numbers of many insect pest species. However, stings from these insects account for about 30 percent of the 54 reported deaths each year from arthropod bites. These stinging insects utilize a variety of natural and man-made objects, including trees, walls, porches, sheds, attics, utility boxes, garbage containers and abandoned vehicles as a place to construct their hives. Carpenter bees cause damage to wooden structures by boring into timbers and siding to prepare nests, creating galleries that can weaken structures and leave unsightly holes and stains on building surfaces. They also attack dead wood on “soft” trees or lumber. You should never attempt to take on any of these insects if they are invading your surroundings as they swarm and pose serious danger to people. Expest’s trained technicians will locate and remove all nests and apply treatment to eliminate larvae to prevent further population. You may also decide that you’d like Expest to perform an exclusion which will prevent future animal/insect invasions. We’ll be happy to discuss this with you at your convenience.
Mites
Droppings under a roosting area can breed flies, carpet beetles and other insects that may become major problems in the immediate area. These pests may fly through open windows or crawl through cracks to enter buildings. If bats are discouraged from roosting around buildings, most of the parasites associated with them will soon die. If the pests are a problem after bats have been excluded, the roost area may be treated with a residual insecticide by a pest management professional labeled for control of fleas, ticks, mites and similar pests.
Midges
The Mouse-eared Bats use many different sites for summer roosts, including caves, old mine shafts, buildings, hollow trees, the area beneath sheets of loose tree bark, rock crevices, and cliff faces. Some species are very particular about their roosting site and use only one or two kinds of summer roosts. To hibernate they may travel as far as 300 miles to their winter roost, which is usually a cave or abandoned mine shaft. In the southern portions of its range, a Mouse-eared Bat may remain active all year, depending on species. Members of the genus usually feed over water or forests adjacent to water. Some species may travel as far as 15 miles on foraging flights. Their diet is composed mostly of mayflies, midges, flies, moths, beetles, and mosquitos. The Little Brown Myotis can live for 30 years. This is the longest life span known for a bat. As in all bats, members of this genus use echolocation to find food and to avoid collisions with obstacles.
Caves and large dead trees with slabs of loose bark and hollowed centers provided shelter for roosting. Also, bats sometimes choose to roost in buildings or homes. If bats become a nuisance by roosting in a building where they are not wanted, the best method for resolving the problem is to install an excluder. An excluder is simply a one-way door that allows the bats to exit but not re-enter. Once all the bats are out, the hole can be repaired. Exclusions should not be conducted when young, flightless bats are present, which typically would be during the period from May 1 to August 15. Like many mammals, bats can become infected with rabies. Use caution when near bats and try not to touch or harass them, especially those that appear to be sick or behaving abnormally.
Moles
Raccoons
Raccoons are one of the animals most adapted to human environments. Known for raiding trashcans, they will explore anywhere to get food. They are strong enough to tear through some roofs and will often habitate in attics. As one of the larger animals dealt with in wildlife control, we don’t suggest taking them on your own. Some home owners will try using raccoon traps but the best way to deal with them is professional service.
Snakes
Incredibly, a rattlesnakes have a reflex that make them dangerous for up to 60 minutes after they die. The importance of this reflex has been well documented in medical journals. In one Arizona report, 15% of people that were treated with rattlesnake bites had been bitten by dead snakes. Of these, all survived, but one […]

Opossums
Squirrels, rats, mice, bats, raccoons, and opossums are animals that commonly nest in Buford GA homes. These unwanted invaders will cause damage to structures, gnaw electrical wires and cables, create disturbing noises, leave excrement behind, and carry parasites and diseases.
Expest Exterminating can not only remove the problem and nuisance wildlife and rodents, but we can also seal up your home so they can’t get back in. This is called Full Exclusion, and you can see more on those services below.
Mice
Restaurants and other businesses, and often entire cities, have closed, re-opened, and then closed again because of the COVID-19 virus. This is causing hungry rats and mice that depend on the human food, trash and litter in these places for their food to wander about more in search of new sources. Sometimes these pests are even being […]
Rats
The Palmyra Atoll is a little known, small chain of islets a thousand miles south of Hawaii. Rats had invaded it while troops were there during World War II. Without natural predators, the rats thrived, devouring seabird eggs, native crabs, and whatever seeds and seedlings they could find. The rats eventually wiped out the native […]
Squirrels
Squirrels are abundant in the wild due to their natural predators being less abundant. Because of this population increase and a decreasing natural habitat due to construction, we are seeing them progressively more in our attics. They seek warm, safe shelter during the fall and winter months in particular. Squirrels tend to gnaw on wood and electrical wiring causing destruction and fires. It also is common for them to fall into vents and chimneys on the roof, or possibly find their way into wall voids, where they may die and cause odor and pest problems. They may enter through openings only 1.5 inches wide as juveniles.
