The Cahaba River corridor, Red Mountain ridge, and clay-heavy soil make Birmingham a year-round pest pressure zone.
The six pest patterns we see most across the Birmingham metro — and how each program handles them.
Termites in historic Birmingham homes
Mountain Brook, Forest Park, Highland Park, Five Points South — the older the home, the more vulnerable the foundation. Sentricon® Always Active™ uses in-ground bait stations around the perimeter, no drilling into original brick or masonry. Up to $1M in EnviroCare-backed damage coverage.
Carpenter ants & sugar ants
Older homes in Crestline, English Village, and Hollywood see seasonal carpenter ant invasions tracing moisture pathways. Bi-monthly perimeter service ($35/mo) covers the entire ant family — carpenter, sugar, odorous house ants, pavement ants — plus 30+ other Alabama pests.
Mosquitoes along the Cahaba
Properties anywhere near the Cahaba River, Patton Creek, or Shades Creek see consistent mosquito pressure March–November. 30-day yard barrier at $45/treatment, or the Mosquito + Tick plan at $65/treatment which adds tick coverage and chiggers.
Brown recluse in garages & basements
Older Birmingham housing stock — particularly Forest Park, Highland Avenue, and the southside — harbors brown recluse in garages, storage areas, and undisturbed crawlspaces. Our interior/perimeter program targets cracks, voids, and the dark zones recluses actually nest in.
Ticks on Red Mountain & Shades Mountain
Mountain Brook, Vestavia, and Chelsea homes backing up to the wooded ridges carry Lone Star and American dog ticks. The Mosquito + Tick plan bundles mosquito + tick + chigger coverage — the actual biting trio you deal with from May through October.
Fire ants in new construction & lawns
Subdivisions across the metro — particularly Greystone, Mt Laurel, Lake Wilborn, and the newer Hoover sections — sit on graded clay that fire ants colonize aggressively. Whole-yard fire ant treatment is a separate service at $150 minimum, priced by yard size.
