This guide publishes no price, because a number given without seeing the house is a guess. What moves a Snellville quote is the building and the lot: foundation type, crawl-space access, the wooded yard and whether the job is one visit or a plan. The figure is confirmed on site, in writing, before any work starts.

The termite letter is the common name for the Official Georgia Wood Infestation Inspection Report. It is the written instrument for reporting evidence of wood-destroying organisms and of conditions that could lead to them. Only a company licensed in the wood-destroying organisms category can issue it, and its diagram must match its findings.

A Georgia termite warranty is a written contract, not a verbal promise. It starts with an initial inspection and a diagram, includes an annual inspection, and carries a conspicuous statement of what future treatment and repairs are limited to. Georgia also requires complete retreatment after three or more separate areas of active subterranean infestation within five years.

Native subterranean termites begin swarming in February or March, and they swarm during the day rather than being drawn to lights. Native swarmers are black and about three-eighths of an inch from head to wingtip. Wings found on a windowsill in that season are a reason to ask for an inspection.

Many Snellville houses sit on a concrete slab, and many older ones sit over a crawl space of brick or block piers. The two need different termite work, different inspections and different moisture answers. A slab house is mostly a question of its perimeter and openings. A crawl-space house is a question of the wood and the air under the floor.

Palmetto bug is a loose name in Georgia for several cockroach species, most often the smokybrown, American and Oriental. A UGA Extension entomologist calls the smokybrown the most widespread cockroach pest in the Southeast, and it lives in tree holes in older neighborhoods with mature hardwoods. Much of the work on these insects happens outside the house.

Pest pressure in Snellville runs through most of the year rather than in one season. Native termite swarms appear in February and March, mosquitoes are active from spring into the fall, and late summer brings the reported peak for the southern house mosquito. Rodents tend to move indoors as nights cool, while ants and roaches carry on through a mild winter.

The Asian tiger mosquito is Georgia's most common and widespread mosquito pest, and it breeds in containers that hold water around a house. The West Nile carrier in Georgia is a different mosquito, the southern house mosquito, which breeds in storm drains and polluted water. Removing standing water near the house is the first step for the container breeder.
