A.S.K Exterminators, Inc. is a company that specializes in pest control and termite service. We offer service for both residential and commercial customers. As our name indicates, “A.S.K” us how we can help?
At A.S.K Exterminators, Inc., service is top priority!
We are fully licensed and insured.
We service the Metro Atlanta area and the Northwest Georgia area. These areas include, but are not limited to: Cobb County, Cherokee County, Pickens County, Gilmer County, Forsyth County, Dekalb County and Fulton County.
Residential Pest Control A.S.K Exterminators, Inc. uses IPM, Integrated Pest Management, to solve your pest problems. This approach relies primarily on non-chemical means (such as education, inspection, sanitation and cooperation of the customer) to prevent and manage pest infestations. Our goal is to keep pests away without adversely affecting the customer’s environment. Chemical treatments are used when pests fail to succumb to more conservative methods. While using chemical treatments, A.S.K. Exterminators, Inc. uses the most effective treatments that are the least toxic to humans, animals and the environment. We minimize the risk by limiting the volume of treatment used.
We offer monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly service to our customers. You may choose the method which best fits your lifestyle. No matter which service you desire, your home will continuously be protected.
On the initial visit, we will inspect the inside and outside of your home. We will customize the treatment to your home`s specific needs based on the findings from the inspection. On the inside, we will target the pests currently hiding in the cracks and crevices of your home. It is not uncommon for you to see more bugs after the initial treatment has occurred. The outside of your home is where most of your pest problems will occur. Therefore, we will identify and target any points of entry into your home, applying a protective barrier at those points and around the perimeter of the home.
After the initial service takes place, there are a number of continued visits throughout the year, depending on which service you choose. As before, we will inspect your home for potential problems and treat accordingly. On the day of your service, if your are home, we will gladly treat both the interior and exterior of the home. However, since most pest problems do originate from outside, servicing the exterior maybe the only treatment you need. If you are not home on the given day of service, we will treat the exterior. Should you need us for any reason to come back and treat again, within the same month of service or on an unscheduled month, we will return at no additional charge! Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
Mosquito Control - When the cold weather disappears, it is time for spring! It is time to get outside after being cooped up for the winter. Your afternoons should be spent grilling, picnicking or having fun with any other outdoor activities. Those cool evening nights should be enjoyed sitting under the stars and moonlight. Spring and summer are great opportunities for family and friends to get together all season long. However, there is one problem, those pesky MOSQUITOES!
Beginning their breeding as early as February or March, mosquitoes inevitably go hand-in-hand with warm weather. Not only are they a nuisance during your outdoor activities, they also are a problem for spreading various diseases. Some of those may include the West Nile Virus, encephalitis, malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever.
The topic of discussion in recent years has been the West Nile Virus. This blood-borne illness is transmitted by mosquitoes to a variety of hosts. Such hosts include birds, horses, cats, dogs, bats and HUMANS! Cases in humans tend to show up in late summer or early fall.
A.S.K Exterminators, Inc. can provide you a better opportunity to enjoy those outdoor activities, day or night. With monthly ongoing treatments from April through October, or whenever needed, you will notice the difference! It is time to get outside and play!
Our service is designed to significantly reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home. The treatment begins with a thorough inspection to determine potential breeding sites. Following the inspection, it may be necessary to use larvicides in standing water habitats like ponds or other landscape water features. Finally, a complete application of insecticides to the leaves on shrubbery, ornamental plants, trees, ivy and in other areas that adult mosquitoes will land and rest.
With A.S.K Exterminators, Inc. mosquito treatment program, your lazy days of summer await you! Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
Commercial Pest Control A.S.K Exterminators, Inc. offers businesses complete pest control protection. Our service is offered on a weekly or monthly schedule. However, we will provide a program that will meet your individual needs based on the type of business, the hours of operation, any health concerns that may exist or the severity of the problem.
In order to control pests, one must know what types of pests exist and where they may live. Any program that is effective will focus on the pest and its need for survival. A pest’s survival depends upon food, water and shelter. If you can identify and eliminate these sources, you will be able to control and successfully eliminate your pest problem. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!
Termite Control A.S.K Exterminators, Inc. also services both residential and commercial customers for termite control. Our termite service consists of post construction treatment, new construction treatment and prelisting/closing WDO Letters “Termite Clearance Letters”.
For post construction treatment, we offer both traditional liquid and the bait/monitoring system. When using liquid treatment only, we treat the foundation of the home, all slabs touching the home and all porches. If your home is a crawl space, we also treat around the piers. In most cases, this is the only treatment needed to maintain termite protection around your home. However, we also offer the combination of both methods together, the liquid and the baiting system. Using both will help decrease your chances of having a termite problem in the future. The bait/monitoring system determines if the termites are present near the home. The termites feed on the bait/monitoring system and spread the bait with the other colony members. The traditional liquid is used to create a barrier around the home which will add a secondary area of protection. Finally, the other option is the baiting sytem only. We install monitors around the home, placed just outside the drip line and ten feet apart. We use Whitmire`s Advance Termite Bait System and Termidor.
For new construction treatments, we primarily use Termidor. Using liquid allows us to put a protection barrier under the structure before it is actually built. After the structure is built, we return to apply a barrier around the finished structure. This is done after the structure has completely been finished being built and landscaped.
We can also combine the liquid barrier treatment with the bait/monitoring system. This treatment would be identical to the post-construction treatment. Your pre-construction treatment would actually be completed after the certificate of occupancy has been issued on the new home.
Termite letters are issued when your house goes on the market (pre-listing letter) and when you close on the house (closing letter). Each letter involves a thorough inspection and a detailed graph of the house. The termite letter not only covers subterranean termites, but it also covers drywood termites, wood borers, powder post beetles and wood decaying fungus. The letter indicates previous infestations and conditions that may be conducive to an infestation. Pricing is based on each letter issued (if termites are found at the time of inspection and a letter cannot be issued, then an inspection fee will be charged in leau of the termite letter fee).

Testimonials….regarding the baiting system

Although we offer both treatment methods, some critics feel that one is better than the other. That is entirely up to the individual. Some feel that liquid treatment only is the best way to prevent and/or treat termites. Others feel that using a bait system is plenty protection against termites. I, too, have my own preference.
Recently, in the February 2008 issue of PCT, Pest Control Technology magazine, the cover story, titled, "Are You Smarter Than a Termite Researcher?" asks a variety of questions regarding termites and their behavior. The one question I really liked was "Which controls termites more effectively: baits or liquid barrier treatments?" The answer says it all for me.
According to Dr. Roger Gold: "Both baits and liquids are effective in termite population management and protecting structures; however, each has advantages and limitations. The best scenario is a combination of both methods when needed. Liquid treatments have the advantage of being relatively fast acting and long lasting (through five years), whereas baits are slower acting, and must be maintained through frequent servicing, but are useful in situations where trenching and drilling are inappropriate." Either way, A.S.K Exterminators offers a treatment that suits your needs whether its liquid, bait or the combination of both.
