When living in the south you might hear people tell you to expect to see palmetto bugs, roaches and other creepy crawlers, but just because you live in the south doesn’t mean you have to live with bugs.
You’ve probably also heard the phrase “everything is bigger in the south,” which brings to mind the size of those southern palmetto bugs. However, these big bugs are nothing compared to their cousin cockroaches that live in more tropical regions. One roach, called the giant cave cricket, grows to four inches long.
A southern location EcoShield Pest Control proudly serves is the popular city and surrounding area of Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta offers culture and culinary delight, but like all cities, they have their trials with bugs such as the recent stink bug infestation.
Bugs in the City
Insects love the city because there are so many opportunities to nest and multiply. While traffic – both people and vehicle – is flowing along a busy day, bugs are busy too. They are finding new places to call home, and dark city dwellings are perfect.

Empty the trash frequently.
Most city apartments and office buildings use large garbage containers or trash shoots to manage trash. This is a welcome card for pests and rodents. Keep these unwanted guests out of your home or office by emptying your trash frequently, even every day if possible.
Check boxes before moving into a building.
Bugs love cardboard boxes and sometimes we inadvertently bring them into our space when we bring in our belongings. If you’re moving into a building in the city. Check the boxes before bringing them into the new space.
