Dahlonega's mountainous terrain and abundant forests, combined with Georgia's humidity, create specific pest challenges. The changing seasons drive a constant influx of insects and rodents from the wilderness into residential properties seeking shelter.
While less prevalent than in hotter, more urban areas, Smokybrown cockroaches and occasional German cockroaches still invade Dahlonega homes. They enter through gaps in siding or unsealed window frames, seeking stable temperatures.
Lumpkin County still faces a moderate to high risk for subterranean termites, despite its higher elevation. The consistent moisture in the soil allows these wood-destroying insects to remain active, silently damaging structural timbers.
