Most likely you are going to be dealing with different yard pests in Milton and Johns Creek, Georgia at some point in time, if not at this very time. 
There are so many different bugs, insects, and other pests that tend to flock to the state that can be hard to distinguish from one another. Here is a brief overview of six common pests you may have in your own backyard!
Fire Ants
These hot little bugs pack a fire-y punch. These bugs are aggressive and can be dangerous for both pets and people, particularly young children. Their painful bites can also cause an allergic reaction in some people. 
Watch out for fire ant activity and the mounds that they build. If you find these bugs are invading areas of your lawn you should apply the proper bait or poison to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Paper Wasps
No one likes getting stung by a wasp. It is painful and scary, and again these stings can 
cause serious allergic reaction in some people. Most often they become aggressive and sting people when their nests are disturbed. Paper wasps will build a nest on or in pretty much anything that is horizontal and will support their nest. Do your best to avoid disturbing any nests to protect yourself and call appropriate services if you find many of them.
Fleas and Ticks
A terrible duo, fleas and ticks are some nasty insects to be dealing with. Fleas and ticks can both carry diseases that are harmful to both people and pets. 
They may be in your own yard just waiting for a ride into your home. Be careful and check your pets often for these little buggers. Treat the pets for these parasites and make sure to treat your yard for them as well to avoid anyone getting sick.
Moles
Moles are the little guys that like to dig tunnels all about your lawn eating and 
disturbing grass roots and the soil. If you are noticing squiggly, raised lines about your lawn, you may have a mole or two that moved into it. There are many ways to deal with these little invaders, including catch and release for those that don’t like the idea of killing little animals.
Grubs
Grubs are larvae. For some reason that just makes them sound all the more disgusting and like you really wouldn’t want them in your lawn. Grubs are the larvae of different beetles and like to take up residence in lawns because
they are full of good meals and some protection. If left unchecked grubs can do a number on your lawn and kill off good portions of it unless you are proactive with the problem.
