Extremely Satisfied with Skyline Pest Solutions, Inc. as a Termite and Pest Control provider. I could get service anywhere however, customer service and follow up has completely beat any other business i have dealt with in the past 20 years.
From the quick response to my request for service (less than 24 hrs.) The completeness and kindness of "my guy" named Tom who also gave me his personal cell number if there were any future concerns. as well as a personal call from Skyline to ensure my happiness with the service. On top of it all I also received a hand written "Thank You " not as well. This is the type of company that truly cares about your needs as much as their reputation.
The overall quality of my relationship with Skyline is excellent! Extremely satisfied with price and value of service.

Termites cause approximately $5 billion in property damage every year, and they can quickly compromise your home’s structural integrity and lead to a wide range of maintenance problems, causing your home’s resale value to plummet. Here are a few tips on spotting termite problems:
How To Spot Them
Eastern subterranean termites are indigenous to the Atlanta area, and they are one of the most destructive termite species found in Georgia. Studies show that, on average, there are as many as 12 colonies per acre, and that an individual colony can have anywhere from 20,000 to two million termites. Common signs of termite damage include fragile or discolored wood and pencil-sized tunnels in the mud near the foundation.
How They Spread
Termite colonies spread by releasing “swarmers,” or winged kings and queens, which closely resemble ants. Learn to identify the differences between termites and ants, as these insects are one of the first warning signs of early termite infiltration. You’re most likely to see these swarmers during the springtime, when they spread out to look for dead wood sources with an abundance of moisture.
How To Prevent Them
Termite colonies need constant access to moisture to survive, which is why they must have constant access to the ground. Preventative measures against termites typically involve keeping dead wood away from your home, providing adequate drainage away from the foundation, and providing adequate space between the foundation and the ground. While it can take years for a termite colony to inflict major structural damage, it can spread throughout your home and cause thousands of dollars in structural and cosmetic damage.
Termite infestations are definitely not a do-it-yourself job. Fortunately, Skyline Pest Solutions is committed to providing award-winning pest control services throughout the Atlanta Metro area. Schedule a professional consultation for home or business and call (678) 804-7102 to find a location nearest you.

The Atlanta springtime climate hosts a wide variety of airborne stinging insects, most of which do not pose a great threat unless they are agitated or protecting their nest. However, these flying pests can quickly spoil your day if they are in or near your home. Here’s a look at some of the most common airborne stingers in Georgia:
Honeybees
According to the latest studies, Africanized honeybees still haven’t infiltrated Georgia, so any hives you come across will likely be the much more docile European honeybee. However, bee stings are still dangerous to people with insect allergies. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, about two million people will have stronger local reactions to insect stings (redness and swelling) and can potentially develop life-threatening anaphylaxis.
Paper Wasps
All of the Paper Wasps in Georgia construct their nests out of secretions from their mouths, which turns into paper-like material when it dries. Unlike honeybees, wasps are can sting multiple times. Normal Paper Wasps are generally less aggressive than other wasp species.
Hornets
Hornet nests are much smaller than normal wasp hives, and they resemble a large teardrop without the distinctive honeycomb structure. These nests tend to be in small and secluded areas, making them easier to accidentally agitate.
Yellow Jackets
Yellow jackets are named for their distinctive yellow and black coloring. This smaller species of wasp is more likely to nest in walls, eaves, or ground around your home, creating a serious nuisance. They are also known for being more aggressive than normal wasps when disturbed.
If you’re concerned about a hive in or near your home, contact Skyline Pest Solutions at (678) 804-7102 to schedule an appointment with a pest removal specialist in Atlanta.
