Alex City is where the Wedgworth family started in 1958 — founded that year as Wedgworth Pest Control, the business neighbors still know by that name, now EnviroCare. Our local crew lives here, works here, and treats every home like family.
Alexander City is where Phillip M. Wedgworth started the family business in 1958, and the pests have not changed much: the town sits between the lake and the Tallapoosa County pine woods, on red clay that holds moisture. Older homes downtown and in the mill neighborhoods have crawlspaces and pier foundations that subterranean termites have had generations to find. The lake side of town — Willow Point, the Highway 63 corridor, the coves — carries the heaviest mosquito pressure in the county from March through October. Wooded lots toward Jacksons Gap and Dadeville are tick country, and the woods send spiders, crickets, and mice toward every garage in the fall. Our pest control program treats the exterior on a schedule so the pressure stays outside, and the same technician tends to stay on your route.
Alexander City is where EnviroCare began: the Wedgworth family started Wedgworth Pest Control here in 1958, and four generations later the same family still runs pest control in Alexander City from the original office on Tallapoosa Street. That history means our technicians know the local pest pressure cold — the roaches and spiders that move in from the pine woods, the ants and wasps of a Tallapoosa County summer, the rodents like mice that head for the garage every fall, and the subterranean termites that work the crawlspaces and pier foundations downtown.
A bi-monthly pest control plan covers 30+ common household pests for $35 a month, with free re-service between visits if a pest problem shows up. For termites, a free WDO termite inspection comes first, then no-drill Sentricon® bait with up to $1,000,000 in EnviroCare damage repair coverage, subject to the terms of the agreement. Seasonal mosquito control runs March through October for the lake side of town, where standing water keeps the pressure highest. One local exterminator team handles pest, termite, and mosquito service across Alexander City and the Lake Martin communities.
As a local pest control company and the Alexander City exterminator neighbors have trusted the longest, EnviroCare builds each treatment around the property — a thorough inspection first, then targeted pest control treatment at the cracks, crevices, and entry points where pests get in. For a recurring infestation, the bi-monthly pest control plan keeps pressure down between visits; for a one-time pest problem, the same local team responds. Either way it is professional pest control from a family-owned Alabama company.
Whether it is an older home near downtown, a mill-neighborhood house on a pier foundation, or a lake place out toward Willow Point, EnviroCare tailors the pest control plan to the property and keeps the barrier working on a recurring schedule — the proactive approach that keeps an Alexander City home pest-free without one-off emergency calls.
Every Alexander City home gets the same four-pillar program — pest, termite, mosquito, and tick protection from the same family-owned team.

What we treat most often around Alexander City — and how each program handles it.
Old crawlspaces downtown and lake-side outbuildings are both regular termite finds. Sentricon® Always Active™ protects the structure with no drilling; every termite quote follows a free WDO inspection.
Lake Martin and the creek bottoms keep mosquitoes going March–October. Eight seasonal treatments reduce the yard population; tick coverage is added for wooded lots. We do not promise to remove every mosquito.
Fire ants in the open lawns, odorous house ants in the kitchen, carpenter ants in damp deck wood. Nuisance ants are on the pest plan; fire ants are a separate whole-yard treatment, $150 for most yards.
Mice and rats come out of the pine woods toward houses in October. Exclusion at entry points — garage seals, vents, utility lines — is part of every exterior visit.
American and smokybrown roaches come up from crawlspaces and drains in the heat. German cockroaches breed indoors and are handled with bait and a follow-up.
Wolf spiders and brown recluses follow insects into garages and outbuildings in the fall. Reducing the food supply is what lowers spider pressure.
Ants, roaches and cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, crickets, wasps, and rodents like mice and rats, plus seasonal mosquito and tick service. Fire ants, fleas, and ticks are handled as separate targeted treatments.
A bi-monthly schedule works best for most Alexander City homes — the exterior barrier breaks down after about 60 days, so re-treating every two months closes the gap before pests return.
For most homes, yes: professional pest control treats the harborage and entry points a DIY spray misses, and a recurring plan with free re-service keeps the home pest-free for less than repeated store-bought treatments.
$35 a month on a 12-month ACH agreement, or $70 per visit with no long-term pest agreement, plus a $75 initial service. Thirty-plus common pests, with free re-service between scheduled visits.
1785 Tallapoosa Street, Alexander City — the original 1958 location. Call (256) 234-6162.
The inspection is the same — on site, free, every outbuilding included. The treatment is now Sentricon® Always Active™ bait stations, with no drilling, and up to $1,000,000 in EnviroCare damage repair coverage on qualifying homes, subject to the terms of the agreement.
Mosquito service includes eight treatments from March through October. It is $45 a month for an average-size yard, with a firm price after a free inspection and equal monthly ACH payments across the year; the price is $34 a month only when paired with a pest plan.
Yes — all of Alexander City plus Dadeville, Jacksons Gap, Eclectic, Kellyton, Goodwater, and every Lake Martin community from Willow Point to StillWaters.
