    Jasper Spring is Comin’, Neighbors! Here’s How to Get Your Home Ready
    Jan 19 2026

    Well, howdy neighbors! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control, right here in our beautiful corner of North Georgia. Now, if you’re like me, you’re probably already looking forward to those warmer days, the dogwoods blooming, and maybe getting a little dirt under your fingernails in the garden.

    But I’ve been in this business a long time—I’m a Georgia State Certified Pest Control Operator and a Public Health Specialist—and I can tell you one thing for sure: the bugs are looking forward to spring just as much as you are. In fact, they’re probably already making plans to move into your guest room!

    With the mild winter we’ve had leading into 2026, those critters are going to be waking up hungry and looking for a place to raise a family. Here is my “neighbor-to-neighbor” guide on how to batten down the hatches before the spring rush.

    1. Give Your Foundation a “Once-Over”

    Pests are like little water-seeking missiles. They’ll find the tiniest crack in your foundation or a gap around a utility pipe and think it’s a front-door welcome mat.

    • Seal the Gaps: Grab a tube of high-quality silicone caulk. Check where your siding meets the foundation and around those outdoor faucets.

    • Check the Screens: Don’t wait for the first swarm of flies. If your window screens have holes, those “no-see-ums” will be “now-I-see-ums” inside your kitchen real quick.

    2. Manage the Moisture

    In Georgia, moisture is the root of almost every pest problem. Termites, cockroaches, and mosquitoes are all looking for a drink.

    • Gutter Check: Make sure your gutters aren’t clogged with last fall’s leaves. When they overflow, they dump water right against your foundation, which is like ringing the dinner bell for Subterranean Termites.

    • The “Inch of Water” Rule: Mosquitoes only need about an inch of standing water to breed. Check those flower pot saucers, old tires, or even kids’ toys left out in the yard.

    3. Spring Cleaning Isn’t Just for the Curtains

    I always tell folks, “If you take care of your home, it’ll take care of you.” That goes for the pantry, too!

    • Airtight is Right: Flour, sugar, and pet food should all go into sealed containers. If an ant can smell it, an ant will find it.

    • The 20-Foot Rule: Keep your firewood piles at least 20 feet away from the house and up off the ground. Termites and mice love a good woodpile, but you don’t want them using it as a bridge to your living room.

    My Personal Guarantee to You

    Now, I know life gets busy. Sometimes you do everything right, and those bugs still find a way in. That’s why I’m here. I’m not just a guy with a sprayer; I’m your neighbor.

    Here is my promise: If you hire me to get rid of your pest problem and, at the end of 30 days, you are not 100% HAPPY, I will come back and retreat your home for FREE. And I’ll keep on doing it until you are happy. If that still doesn’t do it, I’ll give you back every penny you paid me, plus an additional $25.00 for your time and trouble. Period.

    Don’t let the bugs put a damper on your spring. Give me a holler!

    Fred Talley’s Hard Truth: Diggin’ Up the Dirt on Jasper’s Famous Marble! Howdy, folks! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. You know, most folks look at a big, beautiful marble slab and think about how fancy it looks. But me? I look at that giant rock and think about how much honest, back-breaking labor it took to get it out of the ground! Just like there’s no quick fix for a German cockroach problem, there’s no easy way to wrestle that famous Georgia marble out of the earth. Jasper and Pickens County are called the “Marble Capital of Georgia” for a reason. This marble is so pure, they’ve used it in places like the Lincoln Memorial, the New York Stock Exchange, and all sorts of fancy buildings. It’s truly a Georgia treasure. Now, while you can’t just wander onto a working quarry whenever you like—they’ve got big machinery and big safety rules, which I respect!—there are some excellent, popular ways to see this magnificent stone and learn the history. Here are the top places to see and learn about the famous Georgia Marble: 1. The Annual Georgia Marble Festival Quarry Tours This is the big event, folks. If you want to see the largest open-pit marble quarries in the world, you gotta come during the annual Georgia Marble Festival. It’s held on the first full weekend of October every year. Why I Like It: This is the only time the public gets a dedicated bus tour of the actual quarries. You get to see the marble in its natural state and learn about the history of the industry, going back to the late 1800s. They also have marble sculpting demonstrations, a parade, and great festival food. It’s a full celebration of what makes this county great! Pest-Free Pro-Tip: Festivals attract big crowds, which means careful sanitation management is a must. The fact that this festival runs like a well-oiled machine every year tells me they’ve got their logistics down pat—and that includes keeping the grounds clean, which is priority number one for keeping pests away! 2. The Pickens County Marble History Museum If you want to understand why this stone is so important, head on over to the Marble Museum at Lee Newton Park in Jasper. Why I Like It: This is where you can see the history that paved the way for all that beautiful marble. You’ll learn about the entrepreneurs, like the Tate family, who built the Georgia Marble Company and made this area famous. They also talk about how marble is used in surprising ways—did you know crushed marble is in things like toothpaste and antacids? Hard to believe a bug would touch that! Pest-Free Pro-Tip: A museum is all about preservation. They are keeping fragile documents and historical artifacts safe. To do that, they have to maintain an environment that is totally sealed off and protected from moisture, insects, and rodents. It takes careful, professional work, the kind of detailed work we do every day at Faith Pest Control. 3. The Historic Tate House (The Pink Palace) Just a short drive from Jasper in the community of Tate, you’ll find the famous Tate House. Colonel Sam Tate, the man who eventually led the Georgia Marble Company, built this magnificent home. Why I Like It: It’s a gorgeous mansion, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and it’s built almost entirely out of the local, famous pink marble. It stands as a powerful testament to the wealth and importance the marble industry brought to the region. While it’s privately owned, it’s one of the most photographed spots and a key landmark on the Georgia Marble Story Trail. Pest-Free Pro-Tip: Building a house out of solid, local marble? That’s a structural barrier that even the toughest termite is going to have a hard time chewing through! It’s the ultimate form of pest-resistant construction. So, if you’re looking to see a piece of history that’s as solid and enduring as a promise from me, Fred Talley, you need to check out Jasper’s marble heritage. It truly is a remarkable industry! Now, go enjoy the monuments. And remember, if you have any foundation problems that aren’t solid marble, you know who to call! We’ll get rid of the pests, or you won’t owe us a penny. That’s the Faith Pest Control $25.00 back guarantee!The post Marble News in Jasper Georgia first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

    Fred Talley’s Vineyard Vitals: Keeping the Pests Off the Prized Grapes Near Jasper, GA! Howdy, folks! Fred Talley here from Faith Pest Control. You know, when I think about a winery, I see a beautiful field of grapes. But my professional brain goes straight to the outside of that beautiful field! A vineyard is a giant food source, and you’ve gotta be a true professional to keep those flying, crawling, and nibbling pests away from a top-shelf crop. The North Georgia mountains around Jasper are home to some of the finest grapes this side of the Mississippi. They’ve done a great job of building up a wine country that is truly a destination. They must be doing something right with their pest management, because these places are top-notch and wildly popular! Here are a few of my favorites—spots where the view is clean, the wine is good, and the only critters you’ll see are the paying customers! 1. Fainting Goat Vineyards: A Mountain View That Won’t Make You Faint This one is right here in Jasper, up against Burnt Mountain, and let me tell you, the name is just as charming as the place. The views from the veranda? Spectacular. It’s a great spot to bring the family, and yes, they even have real fainting goats on the property! Why I Like It: It’s a great example of a family-owned operation. They offer handcrafted wines and have a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere. When a business takes the time to cultivate the land and a great experience, it shows they care about every detail—a lot like how we tackle every single insect hiding in your attic! Pest-Free Pro-Tip: Farm properties like this have to deal with a lot of pressure from field rodents and other wildlife looking for a snack. A clean, well-maintained tasting room and vineyard is the best defense! 2. Sharp Mountain Vineyards: Consistent Quality, Right Near Home Another classic right in the heart of Jasper, this vineyard has been around the block, planting grapes since way back in 1995. You don’t stay in business that long without keeping up with the competition—and keeping the pests off the product! Why I Like It: Longevity and consistency. They’re family-owned and operated, and the 1,500-foot elevation is perfect for growing quality fruit. They offer gourmet meat and cheese boards, which is a big draw. It’s a testament to good, honest work. Pest-Free Pro-Tip: A place that serves fine meat and cheese boards knows that high-quality food requires high-quality storage. If they’re keeping their gourmet snacks fresh, they’re keeping their storage rooms locked down tight—exactly how we seal up those entry points on your home! 3. Chateau Meichtry Vineyard and Winery: The European Flair That Works Just a short drive from Jasper in Talking Rock, this place makes you feel like you’ve been whisked away to Europe. It’s family-owned, sitting pretty in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and they’ve got a fantastic setup with indoor and outdoor seating. Why I Like It: They run a professional operation with tours, food trucks on the weekends, and live music. They take pride in their craft. They’ve built a destination, and that takes a lot of care, not just for the wine but for the whole property. Pest-Free Pro-Tip: When you host live music and food trucks, you bring in crowds, and that means managing waste and sanitation closely. A clean, well-run event space is one where the pest control is top-shelf. If they’re that meticulous with their venue, you can bet they’re being diligent with the vines! So there you have it, folks. If you’re looking to enjoy a relaxing afternoon with a glass of local wine and a spectacular view, you won’t go wrong with one of these popular spots. They’ve got the beauty of North Georgia without the bugs! Now, go on and enjoy that fine wine. And remember, if you see anything crawling in your own house that doesn’t belong there, you call me. We’ll get rid of the pests, or you won’t owe us a penny. That’s the Faith Pest Control $25.00 back guarantee!The post Jasper Georgia Wineries first appeared on Faith Pest Control.
