How Peachtree Pest Control supports a cleaner, safer home

50 Years of growth

Long before Metro Atlanta homeowners step onto their porches with a cup of coffee, Peachtree Pest Control technicians are already hard at work. Founded in 1976, the company began as a small, local operation dedicated to helping Metro Atlanta homeowners protect their most valuable investment. The company has built a strong reputation for quality service, focusing on prevention, sustainability, and new technologies. In 2021, Peachtree Pest Control acquired six companies, more than doubling its annual revenue and total staff. Led by President Corey Arnold, Peachtree Pest Control now serves communities across Georgia and South Carolina.

Technology ahead of the curve

The team at Peachtree Pest Control prides itself on using advanced technology to stop pests in their tracks. Vice President of Sales Kerry Martin says he’s especially excited about using infrared technology as a preventative measure. “It allows us to track rodents and other pests, then act on them and put service plans together, way before they ever create any type of infestation or damage to a home,” Kerry says.

Cutting-edge technology is just one part of the company’s environmentally conscious approach. Georgia summers bring bustling mosquito populations, and the team combats them with low-toxicity treatments applied only to non-flowering plants, greatly reducing the risk of harm to our vital pollinators. Peachtree Pest Control also prevents mosquito explosions with a product called MosquitoCon. MosquitoCon boxes contain water, as well as a non-toxic product that disrupts mosquitoes’ reproductive cycle, stopping explosions before they start.

A trusted approach

Peachtree Pest Control has made extermination simple and stress-free for families and businesses. The process begins with a thorough inspection to understand the extent of the infestation and identify entry points. From there, technicians develop a customized treatment plan based on the type of pests and the property’s unique needs.

This trusted approach is upheld by rigorous training. New staff undergo a month-long training program before ever facing a customer, ensuring each technician delivers the same professionalism and expertise the company is known for.

Fostering strong company culture

At the heart of Peachtree Pest Control is its team of caring, knowledgeable professionals committed to solving problems and supporting customers. Building a quality team starts with intentional hiring, Kerry explains. “We really focus on hiring people who care. That's a very simple process to look at, and it's a bit of a broad brush, but we know that if we hire people who really care, you can tell that during the initial interview stage.”

Peachtree Pest Control maintains a staff that cares by providing a clear path for growth within the company. “That in itself creates trust, being transparent with everyone here,” Kerry says. “If you want to move up and you do really well, you will.”

Peachtree Pest Control remains committed to delivering effective, environmentally responsible service backed by a team that truly cares. With every home and business that they protect, the company carries a legacy 50 years in the making.
