As a family-owned company with more than 30 years of experience, 120 Pest provides dependable residential pest control to homeowners throughout North Georgia, including the community of Ball Ground. Our base in nearby Canton means we are close enough to respond quickly and familiar with the pest pressures that come with living in this corner of Cherokee County.
Local Pest Control Serving Your Community

We bring three decades of hands-on knowledge to every visit, and our familiarity with local homes, landscapes, and seasonal patterns helps us treat problems efficiently the first time.
We believe pest control should be straightforward and personal. Here is what working with our local team looks like:
- Direct contact with experienced professionals, never an automated call center
- Text and email service notifications so you always know when we are coming
- Flexible scheduling, including Saturday appointments when needed
- A consistent, knowledgeable approach rooted in 30+ years of local service
Common Pest Challenges in Rural and Suburban North Georgia
Homes in this part of North Georgia face a unique blend of rural and suburban pest pressures. Wooded lots, open fields, older structures, and changing seasons all create opportunities for unwanted visitors to move indoors. Understanding what you are up against is the first step toward keeping your home protected year-round.
The pests we encounter most often in area homes include:
- Ants foraging through kitchens and along foundations
- Cockroaches seeking moisture and food
- Spiders building webs around eaves, garages, and entryways
- Rodents such as mice and rats looking for shelter, especially in cooler months
- Wasps and hornets nesting under eaves and porch ceilings
- Mosquitoes breeding in standing water across shaded, humid yards
Properties on larger or wooded lots can be especially prone to rodents and perimeter-driven pests, since nearby fields and tree lines give insects and small animals an easy path toward the house. Seasonal shifts add another layer of challenge: ants and mosquitoes surge in the warm months, while rodents press inside as temperatures drop in fall and winter. A tailored treatment plan addresses these entry points and seasonal patterns before they become an indoor problem.
Residential Pest Control With 15+ Pests Covered
Our residential pest control program is designed to handle a wide range of common household invaders. A single plan protects your home against more than 15 pests, including ants, roaches, and mice, with exterior spider control always included. Interior service is included at no additional charge whenever a problem makes it inside.
Our trained technicians follow a thorough, methodical process on each visit:
- Inspection: We walk the property to identify pests that need immediate attention, moving children’s and pets’ toys out of the treatment zone first.
- Spider web removal: We clear unsightly webs from eaves and other areas, then apply a product to help keep them from returning.
- Perimeter application: We treat entry points and the places pests hide, crawl, and trail to deliver a fast knockdown.
- Interior treatment: When pests are active inside, we apply targeted, family-conscious products where they are needed.
You can learn more about everything included on our residential pest control page, or reach out for a plan tailored to your home.
Quarterly Protection Plans Built Around Your Home
Pests do not take a season off, which is why ongoing protection works better than one-time fixes. Our protection plan is built around scheduled quarterly visits, giving your home consistent coverage as pest activity shifts through the year. If pests reappear between visits, we provide free return visits to make it right.
We also keep the commitment simple and low-pressure. Our plans come with several homeowner-friendly advantages:
- Quarterly scheduled service with free return visits as needed
- No long-term contracts and a month-to-month subscription
- No hidden fees and paperless billing
- Interior and exterior coverage in every plan
Because we want to keep you through great service rather than a binding agreement, you are never locked in. Visit our pest control service overview to see how the program fits your needs.
Rodent Control for Country and Older Properties
Rural and semi-rural homes often deal with mice and rats more than their suburban counterparts. Nearby woods, barns, outbuildings, and crawl spaces give rodents plenty of places to nest, and a small gap in the foundation is all they need to move indoors. Rodents are included among the pests our residential program addresses, and our technicians focus on both removing active intruders and sealing the conditions that invite them in.
If you have noticed signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, or scratching in walls, it is best to act quickly. Mice and rats reproduce rapidly, and an early response prevents a minor issue from becoming a recurring one.
Termite Protection for Older Homes
Older homes are common across this part of Georgia, and they can be especially vulnerable to termites. These wood-destroying insects work quietly and can cause significant structural damage before homeowners ever notice. Regular inspections and proactive treatment are the best defense for protecting your investment.
Our termite services cover the full range of needs for area homeowners:
- Termite inspections to catch activity early
- Liquid termite treatments for the home’s perimeter
- Termite baiting systems for ongoing monitoring and control
- WDO and WDI letters for real estate transactions
If you are buying or selling a home, a wood-destroying organism report is just as important as a standard home inspection. Our team can perform these inspections efficiently, and if a problem is found, we provide free estimates to remedy the issue. Learn more on our termite inspection page.
Natural and Green Pest Control Options
For families who prefer fewer synthetic chemicals at home, we offer a green pest control program that delivers results using products derived from nature. These include plant oils, minerals, and other naturally occurring ingredients chosen to protect your family and pets while still controlling ants, roaches, and over 15 other pests.
Our natural program is a strong fit for households with children, pets, or sensitivities, and it is available in this part of our service area. The products come from sources like plant oils and naturally occurring minerals, and while they may carry a light scent such as wintergreen or spearmint, they are designed to control pests without the heavy chemical residue of conventional sprays. As with our standard plan, it includes free return visits and the option to switch products if a natural solution is not keeping a particular pest in check. We will always explain our approach before treatment so you can make an informed choice.
