Barnes Lakeside Exterminating, established in 1981 by Wallace Bates and Fred Folsom, has been a trusted provider of pest control services in Georgia for over four decades. Initially focused on basic pest control for residential and commercial clients, the company has evolved into a leader in the fumigation industry within the state, particularly since the late 1980s.
Specializing in mosquito control, rodent control and exclusion, as well as services for bed bugs, ants, and roaches, Barnes Lakeside incorporates cutting-edge technology and environmentally friendly solutions to deliver effective pest management. The company has expanded its offerings with services like heat treatments and state-of-the-art fumigation techniques. In 2004, Barnes Exterminating acquired Lakeside Pest Control to enhance their service capabilities and in January 2018, the company relocated its headquarters to Jackson, GA, allowing for more concentrated services to clients in the southern regions of Atlanta and statewide fumigation services.
Barnes Lakeside prioritizes customer satisfaction and quality service, a philosophy upheld by a dedicated team of screened and state-approved technicians who receive ongoing education to stay current in industry practices. This commitment to training, along with a focus on integrity and honesty, fosters a low employee turnover rate, allowing clients to receive consistent, personalized service from familiar faces. As a locally owned and family-operated business, Barnes Lakeside creates lasting loyalty among its staff and clientele, ensuring that they continue to meet the pest control needs of their community with utmost professionalism and safety.
