Pest Control You Can Count On in Union County
Union County sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, anchored by Blairsville, Lake Nottely, and the peaks of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The elevation and heavy forest cover create a pest environment defined by fall stink bug invasions, rodents pushing into cabins and homes as temperatures drop, and constant wildlife activity from the surrounding wilderness. Kilz Pest Control brings professional pest and termite control to every community in Union County.
Union County sits high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where steep forested slopes and cool elevation shape a very different pest picture than the lowlands. Blairsville anchors the county, with Lake Nottely and the surrounding national forest defining much of the land. Homes and cabins here sit close to the woods, so wildlife, rodents, and seasonal insect pushes are a normal part of mountain living. Kilz Pest Control serves the whole county with pest and termite work built around these conditions.
Because so many properties in Union County are seasonal cabins or vacation rentals, pest problems often go unnoticed until an owner arrives and finds evidence of mice, insects, or moisture-driven wood damage. The mix of heavy forest, cold winters, and warm damp summers keeps our schedule busy year round. As a family-owned, owner-operated company, we treat each home the way we would our own, with free inspections and family and pet safe treatments across every community in the county.
Full county coverage including Blairsville and the Lake Nottely area.

Top Pest Pressures in Union County
Union County's climate, geography, and housing stock create specific pest challenges. Here's what we see most in this county.
Stink Bugs & Kudzu Bugs
At Union County's elevation, fall stink bug invasions are severe, hundreds can enter a structure through gaps in siding and windows in a single evening.
Rodents
Mountain cabins and seasonal properties are highly vulnerable, rodents can establish full infestations during periods of vacancy.
Wildlife
The Chattahoochee National Forest borders much of Union County, raccoon and squirrel access into attics and crawl spaces is a constant problem.
Subterranean Termites
The valley communities around Blairsville and Lake Nottely hold the moisture that supports active termite colonies in older structures.
What Makes Union County Different
Geography, history, and land use shape the pests we treat here. This is what we've learned working Union County year after year.
Cabins and seasonal homes need extra attention
A large share of Union County housing is used part of the year. Empty cabins give rodents and insects months of quiet time to move in, nest, and multiply. A home that sat closed all winter can hide mouse nests, wasp activity, and moisture problems by spring. A thorough inspection when you open a property each season catches trouble before it spreads through the structure.
Forest edges drive most wildlife calls
With the Chattahoochee National Forest wrapping much of the county, homes here sit right against wildlife habitat. Raccoons, squirrels, and opossums look for warm, dry space in attics, crawlspaces, and outbuildings. We focus on removal paired with exclusion, sealing the gaps and entry points animals use, so the same critters cannot simply return once they are gone.
Elevation shifts the pest calendar
Higher, cooler ground means seasons arrive and leave on their own schedule here. Cold snaps come early and push rodents indoors sooner than in the valleys. Stink bugs gather on warm walls in force as fall sets in. Knowing this local rhythm lets us time treatments so homes are protected before each seasonal surge instead of after the problem is already inside.
Moisture and wood contact invite termites
Mountain lots with damp soil, crawlspaces, and wood close to the ground give subterranean termites the conditions they need. Lakefront and low valley structures carry real risk wherever moisture meets untreated wood. We offer free WDO inspections, liquid soil treatments, and bait and monitoring systems, plus real-estate WDO letters for buyers and sellers moving property in the county.
Union County Pest Control by Season
Pest pressure in Union County follows the calendar. Here's what each season brings.
Spring
Cabins reopening after winter often reveal rodent nests, wasp starts, and moisture damage. Spring is the right time for a full inspection, termite check, and treatment before insect activity climbs with the warming weather.
Summer
Warm, damp mountain summers bring ants, wasps, and hornets around decks and eaves, plus fleas and ticks from wildlife crossing wooded yards. Lake and creek areas see heavier mosquito and moisture-related pest pressure.
Fall
Fall is stink bug season in the mountains, with heavy gatherings on sunny walls. Rodents also start pushing indoors as nights turn cold. Sealing entry points now keeps both out ahead of winter.
Winter
Cold high-elevation winters drive mice and rats into heated homes and quiet cabins for shelter. Interior work, exclusion, and monitoring keep rodents from settling in through the coldest months.
