How to check for bed bugs in Atlanta, GA
It’s no surprise that Atlanta ranks in the top five for bed bug-infested cities. Bed bugs are professional hitchhikers – and an international travel hub like Atlanta, GA, is the perfect place for them to catch a ride. When dealing with the persistent problem of bed bugs, taking proactive steps for early detection and bed bug treatment is crucial. Terminix technicians are the experts in bed bug control in Atlanta, GA, but here are six places you should check for bed bugs.
Beds and headboards
When checking beds and headboards for bed bugs, it's important to be as thorough as a bed bug exterminator. Start by peeling back the linens and closely inspecting the mattress. Focus on the seams, tags, tufts, and edges, as bed bugs, along with their eggs and fecal spots, often hide there. Don't forget to check the box spring and bed frame, especially if it's made of wood. The area around and behind the headboard requires careful inspection too. Check for any cracks, crevices, and seams where bed bugs could be hiding.
Bedding and linens
Start by removing all linens, including sheets, pillowcases, and blankets, from the bed. Use a bright flashlight to thoroughly inspect each item, paying close attention to seams, hems, and folds. Look for small, reddish-brown bugs, tiny white eggs, and black fecal spots. Make sure to check any decorative blankets, pillows, and curtains.
Bedroom furniture
When checking for places that may need bed bug treatments, be sure to check your bedroom furniture. Start with furniture closest to sleeping areas, such as end tables and dressers, as well as any items on or inside of the furniture. Upholstered furniture can also be an ideal hiding spot for bed bugs. Pay close attention to seams, folds, skirts, and crevices in couches and chairs in the room. If you notice any signs of bed bugs in your bedroom furniture – call your local Terminix branch for pest control in Atlanta, GA.
Wall decor and electrical outlets
Don’t forget to check your wall decor for signs of bed bugs. Bed bugs can hide behind picture frames, posters, and even in electrical outlets. Gently remove these items and use your flashlight to look for signs of bed bugs. Thoroughly inspect the back of each item, focusing on corners, edges, and any crevices where bed bugs could potentially hide. For electrical outlets, use caution to remove the outlet cover and look inside for bed bugs.
Luggage
Hotels and airports are some of the most common places where bed bugs can be found. After a trip, it’s important to inspect your luggage for any signs of bed bugs before bringing it into your home. Start by closely examining all seams, zippers, and pockets where bed bugs like to hide. Make sure to empty your luggage completely and inspect every item inside. If you think bed bugs have found their way into your home, Terminix can provide pest control services in Atlanta, GA.

Atlanta Exterminator Reviews
- EDElaine DavisForest Park
Great - TATravie AndrewsForest ParkLiving in an area that's in a state of transition (constant construction and renovation) we were battling indoor and outdoor pests. Contacted Terminx and was scheduled quickly. Tech (K. Harris) inspected and offered advice on what to do for long term results. He's visited twice and we've seen incredible results!
- MLMichael LinzForest ParkThis company charged me $1800 for a full exclusion and didn't follow through on the work. They said they would hold my card on file then charged it without asking. The work was not completed and I cannot get a call back from Terminix despite multiple tries and paying for a year of full service. I am disputing the charge and I hope nobody else gets tricked into trusting them.
- CChevyForest ParkVery nice and helpful. Easy to make and change appointments. There on time for there appointments. Very nice and hardworking staff! Would very much recommend!
- RORandall OsterForest ParkThis service is completely worthless for roach control. They have been to my apartment in Buckhead at least six times and nothing has improved. I've been home several times when the technician was here and all he does is spray a little liquid on the baseboards when he can see that there are roachs crawling around in my stove and my refrigerator. I have lost over $50.00 worth of food that I had to throw out. Completely unacceptable.
- CJcecelia jeffersonForest ParkKudos for outside service.
- DCDominique ConcepcionForest ParkTerminex is so easy to work with. They keep the bugs out and have great communication skills. So convenient and helpful….I live by a lot of trees which means many bugs.
- LMLeslie MaloneForest ParkVery knowledgeable in there job and answered all of the questions explained things in detail to us because we NEVER experienced our situation before so we really appreciate that 😀 they really made us feel at ease, when (Mike) told us not to worry and they will take care of the problem and rid us of it we felt so relieved. Thank you Terminix for such knowledgeable technicians.
- JDjones davidForest ParkGreat service
- JRJackie RichardsonForest ParkIncredible staff
- AAAylin AForest ParkCommunication was always poor in every aspect. Even after selling the house and transferring the service to the new property owner I would still get processed payments and get service text when telling them several times I’m no longer the owner.
- ADAnthony DantzlerForest ParkTop Tier Customer Service! Explained the product & job being done extremely well, & a wonderful conversationalist! By far the best expert this location has.
- JFJordan FarrForest ParkThe technician was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We had amazing service.
- CHCharlotte HallForest ParkTechnician was on time and explained every thing very thoroughly
- TMTerry MForest ParkEmmanuel is always communicative, prompt, polite, and responsive to any requests I have. He is very thorough and has done a great job keeping the bugs out.
- PVPacha Villalba-DieboldForest ParkSundar was great and always keeps an eye out for areas that might be problematic.
- JLJames LongForest ParkWe had a problem with some small black insects. Sundar diagnosed the problem, made the application and told us it would take 2 weeks to be certain the treatment worked. He was right on the treatment and the time frame. Problem resolved. He is very reliable and thorough in his work and his explanations. We are happy customers.
- MDMichelle DavisForest ParkIf I could, I would be giving negative stars. I had a service appointment scheduled for today with an arrival window of 8-12. As I am typing this at 2pm, there has still been no technician sent to my house. There is, however, already a $225 charge on my card that they took over the phone though. I have called 5 times and each time they said, "let me reach out to the technician, Steven, who is supposed to provide your service today. Oh, looks like it went straight to voicemail. I left him a voicemail to call you back though." By the 4th call at 1pm, they told me they finally escalated the call to the service manager to see what can be done. By the 5th call at 1:30, I was told by that person it actually had not yet been escalated, so #4 lied. They said to expect to be contacted within the next 30 minutes by the service manager for a resolution. I have been told all 5 times that someone or another would reach back out. STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED A SINGLE CALL BACK. This is a huge disrespect to my time and my money. Terrible communicators, so disrespectful! Yes, I'm hangry because I have been sitting around waiting 6 hours for someone to show up to an empty house that I have already moved out of, so there is no food and nothing comfortable to sit on. I don't even have bugs, it's just a requirement upon move out by my landlord.
- KDKathryn DahlkeForest ParkThe tech was very friendly, knowledgeable and kind. We were thrilled to have him in our home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly you'll stop seeing pests in your home depends on what kind of pests you're dealing with and how bad the infestation is. While some pests may be eliminated quickly after treatment in Atlanta, others may require additional monitoring and follow-up treatments.
Before a pest control visit, your technician from Terminix in Atlanta will provide prep instructions. However, it is important to ensure that any areas needing treatment are easily accessible by moving furniture away from walls and picking up items from the floor. Pets should be secured and away from the treatment areas to keep them safe.
Yes, even if you don't see lots of bugs, it's still important to consider pest control in Atlanta. Many pests, like termites, can be difficult to spot as they often live out of sight within the structure of your home, causing damage before you're even aware of their presence. Regular inspections and treatments can address potential infestations before they get out of hand and help ensure your home remains protected.
Professional pest control services can help prevent costly damage from pests like termites or rodents, which DIY methods might not fully address.
