About Kuma Pest Control

​

A Family-Owned Georgia Pest Control Company Serving Greater Atlanta Since 2014

Kuma Pest Control is a family-owned, Lawrenceville-based Georgia pest control company founded by Wayne Cooper in 2014. For more than a decade, Kuma has provided residential and commercial pest-management services throughout Gwinnett County, North Atlanta, Metro Atlanta and surrounding Greater Atlanta communities.

Kuma was built around a simple idea: customers deserve professional pest control, clear communication, fair pricing and a company that stands behind its work.

Today, Kuma helps homeowners, businesses, property managers, apartment communities, HOAs and other commercial customers manage common Georgia pest problems, including cockroaches, German roaches, ants, mosquitoes, bed bugs, rodents and wildlife.

Meet the Owner of Kuma Pest Control

Wayne Cooper — Founder & Owner

Wayne Cooper is the founder and owner of Kuma Pest Control.

Wayne founded Kuma in 2014 with the goal of creating a local Georgia pest-control company that customers could depend on for responsive service, professional technicians and straightforward communication.

Rather than building Kuma around high-pressure sales or long-term customer commitments, the company was designed around earning customers' continued business through quality service.

That philosophy continues to influence how Kuma approaches pest control today.

​

Kuma's Core Philosophy

Identify the problem. Treat it appropriately. Communicate with the customer. Help prevent it from returning.

Registered Pest-Control Technicians

Kuma understands that the technician entering a customer's home or business represents the company.

That's why Kuma's technicians are registered as required under Georgia's structural pest-control regulations for the work they perform.

Our technician standards emphasize:

Professional Conduct

Technicians are expected to treat customers, employees and property with respect.

Proper Identification

Technicians should understand the pest being addressed before determining an appropriate treatment strategy.

Inspection

Technicians should look for evidence of pest activity and contributing conditions rather than focusing only on the pest that is immediately visible.

Proper Application

Treatments should be performed according to product labeling, applicable regulations and the requirements of the service being performed.

Customer Communication

Customers should understand what was found, what was treated and what they can expect after service.

Property Respect

Technicians are expected to work carefully inside and outside customers' homes and businesses.

​

Why Kuma Pest Control Was Founded

Kuma was founded in 2014 because Wayne Cooper believed there was an opportunity to build a different type of pest-control company in Georgia.

The goal wasn't simply to sell pest treatments.

The goal was to create a company where customers could receive:

Responsive service.

Professional technicians.

Clear communication.

Straightforward pricing.

Practical pest-management recommendations.

Long-term prevention—not just a temporary response.

Kuma remains locally focused and family-owned while serving an expanding portion of the Greater Atlanta market.

​

Kuma's Service Philosophy

Pest Control Should Start With Understanding the Problem

Every pest problem is different.

A German cockroach infestation inside an apartment is different from ants around a single-family home's foundation.

A mosquito problem in a backyard is different from squirrels entering an attic.

Bed bugs require a different strategy than routine general pest prevention.

For that reason, Kuma's approach is based on understanding the pest, property and conditions contributing to the problem.

1. Identify the Pest

Correct identification is the starting point.

Understanding what pest is present helps determine:

• Where it is likely to hide

• What conditions attract it

• How it enters the property

• How it reproduces

• Which treatment strategies are appropriate

2. Inspect the Property

Depending on the service, technicians may look for:

• Pest activity

• Entry points

• Harborage

• Moisture

• Food sources

• Structural gaps

• Vegetation

• Standing water

• Crawl-space conditions

• Attic access

• Other conducive conditions

3. Treat the Problem

Kuma selects an appropriate treatment strategy based on the pest and property.

The objective is effective pest management, not simply applying more pesticide.

4. Prevent Recurrence

When possible, Kuma identifies conditions that may contribute to recurring pest activity.

Recommendations may involve:

• Sealing openings

• Reducing moisture

• Correcting sanitation issues

• Managing vegetation

• Removing food sources

• Improving drainage

• Addressing structural access points

5. Communicate With the Customer

Customers should know what happened during their service.

Kuma emphasizes communication about:

What we found.

What we treated.

What we recommend.

What the customer should expect next.

What the customer can do to help prevent future activity.

​

Kuma's Integrated Pest Management Approach

IPM Is More Than Spraying

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an important part of Kuma's pest-control philosophy.

IPM considers multiple factors that influence pest activity rather than relying exclusively on chemical treatment.

Kuma's IPM approach can include:

Inspection

Finding evidence of pest activity and determining where the problem originates.

Identification

Determining which pest is present and understanding its behavior.

Sanitation

Identifying food, garbage or other conditions that may support pest populations.

Exclusion

Identifying and addressing accessible openings that allow pests or wildlife to enter.

Habitat Modification

Reducing conditions such as moisture, standing water, vegetation or harborage when practical.

Targeted Treatment

Using appropriate pest-control products and techniques when treatment is necessary.

Monitoring

Evaluating pest activity and determining whether additional service or prevention is needed.

Customer Education

Helping customers understand what they can do to reduce future pest activity.

Kuma's objective is to manage the conditions contributing to pest activity—not simply treat the pest that happens to be visible that day.
