Pest and Termite Help in Smyrna, GA

Smyrna, the Jonquil City, sits in Cobb County just across the river from northwest Atlanta. Its older housing grew up around the wartime bomber plant and much of the newer housing is townhomes and condominiums.

Small postwar houses

Smyrna grew quickly in the 1940s and 1950s, when the Bell Bomber plant in nearby Marietta built B-29s and Lockheed later took it over, and the Smyrna Historical Society has traced the city's housing from compact 800-square-foot houses of that era onward. Small houses of that age, many on crawlspaces with wood close to the ground and later porches and carports added on, are textbook subterranean termite houses. Ask for the treatment history whenever one changes hands.

Townhomes, condos and shared walls

A great deal of recent building in Smyrna has been townhome, cluster-home and condominium communities replacing older neighbourhoods. In attached housing two things change. German cockroaches move between units, so one owner treating alone tends to see them return. And termite protection for the building may be the association's responsibility rather than yours. Check the covenants and ask the management company what is covered before you buy your own contract.

Spring in the Jonquil City

The jonquils come up in late winter, and so do the termite swarms. Native subterranean termites in Georgia swarm in daylight from about February to April, often on a warm afternoon after rain. Fire ant mounds reappear in sunny lawns at the same time. Spring is the season to book a termite inspection and the first fire ant bait of the year.

Smyrna questions

Is Smyrna covered from Atlanta?

Yes. Smyrna is close in, across the Chattahoochee in Cobb County. 30080 and 30082 are both in the service area.

My townhome HOA has a termite contract. Do I need my own?

Possibly not. Read the covenants and ask the management company what the association contract covers, and whether it includes interior damage.

Is there a best time to book a termite inspection?

Any time works, but late winter and spring, when swarms show activity, is when most people notice a problem. Do not wait for a swarm if a house is being bought or sold.

Who would come out?

A pest control company that works in Cobb and holds a Georgia licence. Pinecrest Advisory Services, LLC runs this site as an advertising and referral service and is not that company.
