Cumming and Forsyth County have seen tremendous growth over the past decade, with new neighborhoods, shopping centers, and businesses expanding in every direction. But all that development, mixed with Georgia’s warm, humid climate and the wooded lots that make this part of the state so appealing, and that creates ideal conditions for pests.
120 Pest is a family-owned pest control company based in Canton, GA, and we’ve been protecting homes and businesses across North Georgia for over 30 years. We serve Cumming, the GA 400 corridor, and neighborhoods throughout Forsyth County with quarterly pest protection plans, one-time treatments, termite services, and commercial pest control. Our work is backed by an ACE-certified team, 96 Google reviews at 4.9 stars, and the kind of personal service that corporate companies simply cannot match.
Residential Pest Control for Cumming Homeowners
Whether you’re in an established neighborhood along the Highway 9 corridor, a newer community off GA 400, or a home set back on acreage near the lake, your property faces pest pressures shaped by its age, landscaping, proximity to wooded areas, and the season. Our residential pest control program is designed to address all of it with a proactive, prevention-first approach.
Our pest protection plan covers over 15 common household pests, including ants, roaches, spiders, mice, rats, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, and bees. Each quarterly visit follows a structured six-step treatment process:
- Walk-around inspection. Your technician identifies active pest issues, conducive conditions, and any changes to the property since the last visit. Pet toys and children’s items are moved out of the treatment zone.
- Spider web removal. Webs are cleared from eaves, porches, window frames, and other exterior surfaces. A product is applied to help discourage rebuilding — included at no extra charge with every visit.
- Granular application. A granular product is applied around the perimeter for extended protection between visits, intercepting pests as they approach your home.
- Perimeter liquid treatment. A liquid application targets entry points — along the foundation, around doors and windows, and anywhere pests crawl, trail, or hide. This provides fast knockdown of active pest activity.
- Interior treatment. When pests are active inside the home, our technicians apply a targeted interior treatment using products safe for your family and pets. Interior service is always available at no additional charge.
- Free return visits. If covered pests show up between your quarterly appointments, call us. We come back and treat at no cost.
Our technicians take the time to service your property thoroughly rather than rushing through a 20-minute visit to get to the next stop. The quality of the treatment is what keeps pests out, and that’s what we focus on every single visit.
Why Quarterly Protection Makes Sense
A one-time pest treatment solves the problem you’re looking at right now, but Georgia’s climate means new pest pressures rotate in with every season. Ants and termite swarmers emerge in spring. Mosquitoes, wasps, and fire ants peak through summer. Spiders and occasional invaders move indoors each fall. Roaches and mice stay active through winter in walls, crawl spaces, and attics.
Quarterly pest control keeps your home protected through each of these seasonal transitions. Four scheduled visits per year maintain a continuous barrier around the exterior of your property, and free return visits fill any gaps between appointments. Instead of reacting to an infestation after it’s already disrupted your household, a pest prevention service keeps the problem from developing in the first place.
Our subscription model makes year-round protection affordable and predictable. There’s a low startup fee followed by a simple monthly payment that covers all four quarterly visits plus unlimited return visits for covered pests. No long-term contracts are required. We want the service to keep you, not a contract.
Green and Natural Pest Control Option
For families who prefer an environmentally conscious approach, we offer a natural pest control program that uses products derived from plant oils, minerals, and other naturally occurring ingredients. The natural plan covers over 15 pests and includes six visits per year with free return visits between appointments.
The plant-based and mineral-derived products we use are safe for children, cats, dogs, and other pets. Some homeowners choose the natural option for specific rooms or areas of their home, while others prefer it as their primary service. If a naturally derived product isn’t controlling a particular pest to your satisfaction, we can switch to an alternative product or offer a targeted synthetic application.
Commercial Pest Control for Businesses in Forsyth County
Pest problems in a commercial setting carry consequences that go beyond nuisance. One pest sighting can trigger a negative review, a health inspection issue, or a social media post that damages your reputation overnight. Whether you operate a restaurant, retail store, office, warehouse, or senior care facility, 120 Pest provides customized commercial pest control programs built around your specific business needs.
Our commercial approach follows three steps: inspection, plan development, and confirmed results. We work around your operating hours to minimize disruption and provide the documentation that compliance and property management teams require. With over 30 years of experience in commercial pest management, we understand the stakes, and we treat every facility with the urgency and discretion your business deserves.
Termite Protection and Inspections
Termites are one of the most destructive pests in Georgia, and properties throughout Forsyth County are susceptible. Subterranean termites cause billions of dollars in structural damage nationally each year, and most homeowners insurance policies don’t cover it.
120 Pest offers complete termite services including inspections, liquid treatments using Termidor products, and Trelona termite baiting systems. We also provide Georgia Wood Infestation Reports (commonly known as WDO/WDI letters) for real estate transactions. We carry Supra keys and CBS codes for easy property access, and if a termite problem is found, we provide free estimates and reissue the report at no charge after treatment is complete.
Whether you’re buying a home, selling one, or simply due for an annual inspection, protecting your property from termite damage is one of the smartest investments you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pests does your quarterly plan cover?
Our pest protection plan covers over 15 common pests including ants, roaches, spiders, mice, rats, fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, wasps, hornets, bees, and more. Exterior spider web removal and interior service are included at no additional charge.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. Our service is a month-to-month subscription. Your rate is locked in for 12 months, but you’re never locked into a long-term commitment. We believe our service quality should earn your loyalty, not a binding agreement.
How often do you come out?
Our quarterly plan includes four scheduled visits per year, timed to address the seasonal pests most active in North Georgia. Free return visits are available anytime between appointments if covered pests appear.
Do you offer weekend appointments?
Yes. We offer Saturday appointments from 9 AM to 12 PM, and additional times are available by appointment. We work to accommodate your schedule because we know weekday availability isn’t always realistic.
Is the treatment safe for my children and pets?
The products we use are applied by trained technicians in targeted areas and are safe for children and pets once the application has dried. We also offer a natural pest control program using plant-based and mineral-derived products for families who prefer a chemical-free approach.
Do you treat the inside of my home?
Interior treatment is included with your plan at no extra cost whenever it’s needed. Most household pests originate from the exterior, and our perimeter treatments are designed to stop them before they get inside. But when interior pest activity occurs — roaches, fleas, or other pests that establish themselves indoors — our technicians address it during your scheduled visit or a return visit.
Protect Your Home Year-Round
Pests don’t take a season off, and your protection shouldn’t either.
