Common Pests in Atlanta


Like many other large cities across the country, Atlanta has bugs that we want to exterminate, too. For those considering moving into the area, learning about Atlanta's climate and insects problems is a good idea.

Here are a few facts about Atlanta. We have about 540,000 people in the actual city, however when you take into the calculations the entire metro Atlanta area, we have about 5 and a half million people calling it home. In fact, that number makes Atlanta the 9th largest metro area in the country.

We have also experienced tremendous growth in recent years. In fact, in the last decade out population has spiked up an amazing 28%!

As we are growing at such a rapid rate, we are also experiencing explosions in the bug populations, too. For instance, bed bugs were unheard of in Atlanta five years ago, however, outbreaks of bed bugs in Atlanta are now being reported at an alarming rate, causing rising concern for locals as these bugs spread from the inner city areas to the suburbs.

Atlanta is a hot travel destination as well as a lay over place, as proven by Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport winning the title of busiest airport for the last 12 years, based on the total number of annual travelers.

And of course, all of these travelers increase the probability of spreading bed bugs. Like many other metro areas, these pests are spreading here also. So, a word of advice, if you plan on staying in a hotel, check out the customer reviews and look for reports of bed bugs, since many hotels have had this issue.

The climate here in Atlanta is considered a humid sub tropical area, based off of the 50 inches of average rainfall that we get each year. Plus Atlanta is right by the Chattahoochee River, and many other smaller rivers, adding to the overall humidity. Plus, the elevation is a mere 738 to 1,050 ft above sea level. All of this moisture creates a great environment for many types of spiders, beetles, roaches and other pests.

Among some of the more dangerous spiders to be found in Atlanta are the Black Widow spider and the Brown Recluse. Take appropriate measure to make sure that neither of these spiders are in your home by using proactive pest control methods.
