A Brief History of Athens
Athens, Georgia was founded in 1801 and established as the home of the University of Georgia, the nation's first state-chartered public university. The city was intentionally designed around education, earning the nickname "The Classic City." From its earliest days, Athens served as a center for learning, leadership, and civic development in northeast Georgia.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Athens grew into a regional economic and cultural hub. Textile mills, railroads, and agriculture supported the local economy, while the university continued to attract scholars, educators, and innovators. The city also played a role in Georgia's political and social history, with many historic homes and districts still standing today.
In modern times, Athens has become nationally recognized for its vibrant arts and music scene, producing influential bands and artists while maintaining its academic foundation. Today, Athens blends historic charm with a progressive spirit, offering a strong sense of community, a diverse economy, and a high quality of life that continues to attract residents and visitors alike.

The most common pests in
Athens include ants (fire ants, carpenter ants), mosquitoes, termites, rodents (rats, mice), cockroaches, spiders (brown recluse, black widow), stinging insects (wasps, hornets), ticks, and wildlife (squirrels, raccoons). These pests can cause property damage, spread diseases, and be a general nuisance, making pest control and prevention essential.
Q How can I prevent ants from entering my home?
To prevent ants, keep your home clean and free of food crumbs, store food in sealed containers, seal cracks and crevices around your Athens home, and eliminate standing water sources. Regularly inspect and maintain your home's exterior to prevent entry points. Additionally, reaching out to PestNation can help eliminate ants from your landscape.
Q What signs indicate a termite infestation?
Signs of a termite infestation include mud tubes on exterior walls, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows or doors, and small piles of frass (termite droppings). It's crucial to address termite issues promptly to avoid significant structural damage.
Q Are the pest control treatments safe for my family and pets?
PestNation uses EPA-approved products and follows safety guidelines to ensure the treatments are safe for your family and pets. Technicians will also provide instructions on any necessary precautions to take during and after the treatment.
Q What can I do to reduce mosquito populations around my home?
To reduce mosquito populations, remove standing water sources where mosquitoes breed, such as birdbaths, gutters, and plant saucers. Use insect repellents, install screens on windows and doors, and consider professional mosquito control treatments from PestNation. Our In2Care system is pollinator-friendly!
Q How do I know if I have a rodent problem?
Signs of a rodent problem include droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging or structures, nesting materials like shredded paper, and noises such as scratching or scurrying, especially at night. If you suspect a rodent issue, it's best to contact a professional for an inspection.
Q What should I do if I find a bed bug in my home?
