Loganville sits on US 78 about six miles east of Snellville, and the town straddles the Gwinnett and Walton county line. That split is the first thing to understand here. A single street can change counties, and with it the county environmental health office that answers questions and the inspector who signs off on work. When a caller gives a Loganville address, the first question is which side of the line the property sits on.
The town has two very different kinds of building close together. The downtown block on Main Street is early-1900s brick storefronts. Around it, the ring is made up of 1990s and 2000s slab subdivisions built on former pasture and pine plantation land. Further out on the Walton side, lots are large and wooded and run toward the Alcovy River. Each setting draws different pests, so a visit usually starts with which of them the property sits in.
Open converted-pasture lawns in the newer Loganville subdivisions are prime red imported fire ant ground, and mounds are often first noticed in those yards.
The 1990s and 2000s slab subdivisions around the downtown block call for slab-edge and penetration work rather than crawl-space work.
Native subterranean termites swarm in daylight in February or March, so a Loganville inspection is worth booking before the swarm season.
Asian tiger mosquitoes breed in ordinary containers around Loganville homes, and the wooded Walton-side lots add shade and damp ground.
Pine-edge lots keep carpenter bees in deck and porch framing, so the fascia and rails on Loganville decks are the first places to look.
The older brick storefronts on Main Street and the wooded Walton-side homes give mice and rats access points that a technician checks before recommending a plan.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
A pest job here is not only a question about the insect. The area notes flag the county line as something that matters for permits and for which inspector signs off. Two houses on the same street can fall under different county environmental health offices, so a technician confirms which side of the line a property is on before any permit-related work is discussed. The paperwork that follows should name that county.
The same boundary can matter for termite paperwork. In Georgia, the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report, usually called the termite letter, is the written report used as the basis for transfer of real property. It can only be issued by a pest control company licensed in the wood-destroying organisms category. If a home sale is coming up on either side of the line, the termite letter guide explains what that report covers and what it does not.
Much of the ring around the downtown block is slab construction. Many houses from the 1990s and 2000s sit on a concrete slab rather than a raised crawl space, so the termite question looks different from an older house. A technician typically looks at the slab edge, the places where plumbing and wiring come through, and the soil and mulch against the foundation, rather than the space under the floor. On brick veneer, the base of the wall can be worth checking too, since weep holes and gaps there can give insects a way in.
Native subterranean termites, the eastern subterranean termite group that UGA describes, begin swarming in February or March. Swarmers come out during the day and are not drawn to lights, so one of the more common signs is a small pile of discarded wings on a window sill or near a door in late winter. A termite inspection is the usual first step when that shows up, and it is worth booking before the swarm season rather than after.
The early-1900s brick storefronts on Main Street are a different kind of building from the subdivisions. Older commercial and mixed-use buildings often have gaps around doors, utility penetrations and worn masonry, and any of those can give rodents and roaches a route in. UGA notes that the house mouse, Norway rat and roof rat all live in Georgia, and that rats and mice usually hide by day and come out at night. A small hole with chewed edges is one of the clearest signs that something is living in the space. A technician looks for that before recommending anything.
On the Walton side, toward the Alcovy River, the lots are large and wooded. Where mature hardwoods stand, the smokybrown cockroach can be present. UGA describes it as the most widespread cockroach pest in the Southeast, and it is tied to older neighborhoods with mature trees, where it lives in tree holes. The name palmetto bug covers several roach species, so a technician identifies what is actually there before choosing a treatment. Shaded, damp wooded lots also favor the mosquito problems described below.
Open lawns on converted pasture are prime red imported fire ant ground, so the newer subdivisions on former pasture are where mounds tend to appear first. UGA's guidance is that the goal is managing their numbers, not eliminating the species, and that treatment is an ongoing job rather than a single visit. Fire ant stings can cause serious medical problems for some people, so mounds near play areas, or anywhere someone in the household has a known allergy, should be pointed out when a technician arrives. The fire ant control service covers the options a technician would discuss.
Pine-edge lots keep carpenter bees in deck and porch framing, so it helps to check the fascia boards, rails and porch beams each spring. Asian tiger mosquitoes breed in containers. UGA lists tires, plant saucers, buckets, pet bowls, birdbaths, clogged gutters, and even tarps and children's toys as common breeding spots. Adults can emerge in about three days in Georgia summer heat, so UGA advises walking the yard twice a week. Emptying or tipping out standing water is the first step, and it does more than any treatment alone.

Loganville straddles the Gwinnett and Walton county line, and a single street can change counties. Which county office answers questions and which inspector signs off depends on the property. A technician confirms the county before any permit-related work is discussed.
Phones are answered 24/7. A same-day visit happens only when a technician is free, and no arrival time is promised on the phone or on this site. Describing the property, the pest, and where it has been seen helps the technician prepare.
No. UGA's guidance is that the goal is managing fire ant numbers, not eliminating the species, and earlier eradication attempts did not succeed. A technician can discuss ongoing control options for a yard, and the results depend on the property and the colonies around it.
In Georgia, the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report is used as the basis for transfer of real property, and it can only be issued by a pest control company licensed in the wood-destroying organisms category. A buyer, seller or lender may ask for one. The termite letter guide explains what the report covers.
Look at the fascia boards, rails and porch beams for round entry holes and sawdust-like debris below them. Pine-edge lots keep carpenter bees in deck and porch framing, so these spots are worth checking each spring. A technician can look at the framing and discuss options.
