Howdy, neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. If you’ve lived around Jasper or traveled down Highway 53 in Pickens County for more than five minutes, you’ve probably caught yourself staring off toward the trees, admiring that stunning, glowing pink structure tucked into the foothills. I’m talking, of course, about the world-famous Tate House—or as a lot of folks around here like to call it, the “Pink Palace”. Now, usually when I’m writing to y’all, I’m talking about termites, carpenter ants, or the sneaky mice that try to make a home in your crawlspace when the mountain weather t
Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here again with Faith Pest Control, comin’ to you from right here in beautiful Jasper, Georgia. Now, today we are going to talk about a place most folks in Pickens County avoid like the plague: the crawlspace. Let’s be honest. Unless your water heater acts up or you need to shut off a water valve, you probably don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about that dark, damp area under your floorboards.

They will spend 24 hours a day looking for a weak spot, a crack, or a gap to sneak past your defenses. Up here in the North Georgia hills, our houses settle, our wood expa

I always tell folks that pest control isn’t just about what we spr
Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, comin’ to you straight from our beautiful little corner of the North Georgia Mountains. If you’re like most folks living around Jasper, Ellijay, or Pickens County, you love the fresh air, the mountain views, and the changing seasons. But let’s be honest—living up here means we share our neck of the woods with a whole lot of critters. Now, I’ve been crawling under houses in this red clay for a long time, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that most homeowners aren’t pest experts—and that’s okay. You’ve got plenty of other
Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, coming to you from right here in our beautiful corner of the North Georgia Mountains. Living up here in Pickens County, we really do get the best of everything. We get the gorgeous changing leaves in the fall, the blooming dogwoods in the spring, and a front-row seat to nature all year round.
