Ants
Identify and Eliminate
Ant
Over a dozen local Georgia ant species
Facts
Ants are the most common insect that infests our homes. They
are social insects that live in a colony which can be located
inside or outside of the structure. The key to ant management
is proper identification, baiting, exclusion, and chemical
barriers.
Don’t reach for the bug spray
The mistake homeowners make when ants are discovered is
to grab that “can of spray” and start spraying. This can do
more harm than good. Many ant species have multiple
queens and when a repellant insecticide is applied, the
workers will relocate the queens, causing the new colony to
“bud”, allowing queens in multiple locations to produce even
more eggs, placing even more stress on your home or
business.

many diseases. A thorough inspection and proper identification
are crucial in the management of cockroaches. If at all possible
capture the pest for faster identification. Contact Fewer Bugs to

And they’re gross
Let’s face it, most people are disgusted by the sight of a
single roach, let alone a whole colony of them, especially
when they are around food in the home, at work, or in a
restaurant. Fewer Bugs, Inc is skilled in the identification and
removal of this common but unwelcome pest.

Spiders
Black Widow
Brown Recluse
3,000 spiders in North America
Black Widow and Brown Recluse are dangerous
The black widow will spin a web and wait for prey to be
captured. Her web is very tacky and will produce a tearing or
ripping sound when disturbed. Common habitats for the black
widow include meter boxes, brick veneer, sheds, wood piles
and especially the front of garages near the sensors for garage
door openers. She is jet black with a distinct red hourglass
marking on her underbelly.
The brown recluse, as the name implies, will be found in
undisturbed or randomly used areas in and around structures.
Bites usually occur as a defensive reaction of the spider being
disturbed. Shoes or clothing that is stored in the garage should
be shaken and inspected to reduce the chance of being bitten.
If bitten by either of these spiders contact your physician
immediately and if possible bring the spider with you.
