Hi, I’m George Burnett with Powerhouse Pest Control in Stockbridge, Georgia.

And today I want to talk about something a lot of homeowners around here are dealing with right now — spiders showing up inside the house.

If you’ve been noticing more of them lately, you’re not imagining it. And here’s the thing —
it’s usually not just about spiders.

When the seasons change here in Georgia, entire pest populations move indoors at once. They’re looking for warmth, shelter, and food. Spiders just tend to be the ones you notice first.

But here’s what most homeowners don’t know.

Spiders don’t show up randomly. They follow their food. So if spiders are showing up inside your home — ants, flies, beetles, or something worse are almost certainly already there too.

The spider on your wall is visible. What’s less visible — the insects they’re following into your attic, your crawl space, behind your appliances — that’s usually the bigger story.

By the time spiders are active inside your home, something has already set up camp somewhere you can’t see it.

The spider is the symptom. The infestation is the problem.

Now — a lot of folks grab a can of spray from the hardware store. And I get it. It seems like the quick fix.

But here’s why the spiders keep coming back.

Store-bought sprays kill what you can see. They don’t find the entry points. They don’t treat the nesting areas. And they don’t touch the insect activity that brought the spiders inside in the first place.

So two weeks later — they’re back. Because nothing that invited them in was ever fixed.

At Powerhouse Pest Control, we treat the whole home. Not just what’s visible.

Every service starts with a complete inspection. We’re checking the baseboards, the eaves, the attic, under the major appliances — because that’s where pest activity lives before you ever see it.

We locate the access points. We remove the webs. We treat the nesting areas. And we build a protective barrier around your entire perimeter.

We also treat the insects that spiders feed on — so we’re eliminating the food source, not just the spider itself.

And if pests come back between your scheduled treatments — so do we.

Unlimited service calls. No extra charges. No “sorry, that’s not covered” phone calls. Ever.

Here’s our promise to you.

Every service we provide is backed by a one hundred percent money back guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied — you pay nothing.

That’s not a marketing line. That’s just how we do business here in Stockbridge.

Mosquitoes are one of the most frustrating pests homeowners deal with during the warm months in Stockbridge and Metro Atlanta. Just a few mosquitoes can quickly turn a relaxing evening outdoors into an uncomfortable experience.

Beyond itchy bites, mosquitoes are known carriers of diseases and can make outdoor spaces nearly unusable if populations grow too large.

Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Surprisingly, it only takes a bottle-cap amount of water for mosquito larvae to develop.

Common breeding areas include:
• Bird baths
• Flower pots and plant trays
• Clogged gutters
• Buckets and containers
• Low spots in the yard where water collects

While eliminating standing water helps reduce mosquito populations, mosquitoes can travel from neighboring properties, which means DIY solutions often provide only temporary relief.

Professional mosquito control treatments target areas where mosquitoes hide during the day, including shrubs, tall grass, and shaded landscaping.

At Power House Termite & Pest Control, our mosquito control program helps families across Stockbridge, McDonough, and the Metro Atlanta area enjoy their outdoor spaces again.

You deserve a backyard where you can relax, grill, and spend time with family—without mosquitoes.

If you see a mouse in your home, there’s a good chance more are hiding nearby. Mice are one of the most common pest problems for homeowners in Stockbridge and throughout Metro Atlanta.

Mice reproduce quickly. A single female mouse can produce multiple litters every year, meaning a small problem can grow into a full infestation faster than many homeowners realize.

Mice enter homes through very small openings. In fact, they can squeeze through holes the size of a dime. Common entry points include gaps around doors, pipes, garages, and foundation cracks.

Signs of mice activity include:
• Small droppings that resemble grains of rice
• Scratching noises inside walls or ceilings at night
• Chewed food containers or pantry items
• Nesting materials like shredded paper or insulation

Mice are more than just a nuisance. They can contaminate food, spread bacteria, and chew electrical wires, which increases the risk of fires.

Many homeowners try traps from the store, but these rarely solve the full problem because the entry points remain open.

At Power House Termite & Pest Control, we take a complete approach to rodent control. We inspect the home, remove existing rodents, and seal entry points to stop the problem at its source.

Our goal is simple: Keep pests away, every day.

Every spring across Stockbridge and Metro Atlanta, homeowners start noticing flying insects around windows, doors, and lights. Many people assume they are flying ants, but often they are termite swarmers, which can be a serious warning sign.

Termite swarmers are reproductive termites that leave an existing colony to start new ones. If you see them inside your home, it often means termites are already living in the structure or very close to it. After swarming, they shed their wings and search for wood and moisture to establish another colony.

Signs of termite swarmers include:
• Piles of small wings near windows or doors
• Flying insects with straight antennae and equal-sized wings
• Mud tubes along foundations or walls
• Wood that sounds hollow when tapped

Termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage each year, and most homeowners insurance policies do not cover termite damage. That’s why early detection is critical.

A professional termite inspection can determine whether the swarmers originated inside your home or from a nearby colony.

At Power House Termite & Pest Control, we help homeowners across Stockbridge, McDonough, Jonesboro, and Metro Atlanta protect their homes with professional termite inspections and long-term protection plans.

If you see termite swarmers, don’t wait. The Power House team is ready to Prevent, Protect, and Preserve your home from termite damage.

DIY pest control may seem appealing for quick savings, but it often leads to frustration and
recurring pest issues. Store-bought products typically offer temporary relief because they
address only the pests you see—not the hidden nests, colonies, or entry points behind the
scenes. Without understanding pest biology and behavior, treatment becomes guesswork.
Professionals bring training, structured strategies, and tools that target pests at their
source. Proper identification is crucial, as each pest requires specific methods and products.
Misidentifying a pest or using the wrong treatment can make the problem worse or even
drive pests deeper into your home.
At Power House, we combine expertise with compassion and attentiveness. We inspect
thoroughly, identify root causes, and design long-term solutions tailored to your home’s
unique needs. Our goal is not just to solve the immediate problem but to provide ongoing
protection that brings confidence and peace.
Choosing professional pest control means choosing safety, consistency, and results that last.
With Power House, your home is protected with integrity and excellence—the Power House
Way.
