Highland Lakes' lakefront homes and wooded acreage make this one of the highest-pressure mosquito and tick areas in the Birmingham metro.
The six programs we run most often on Highland Lakes properties.
Lakefront mosquito pressure
Lake-adjacent properties have the worst mosquito pressure in 35242 — standing water harborage, vegetation along the shoreline, and shaded boathouse / dock structures. The 30-day yard barrier ($45/treatment) targets resting zones; lakefront homes typically see a noticeable drop within the first two cycles.
Ticks across the back acreage
Highland Lakes' wooded common areas, walking trails, and large rear lots carry Lone Star and American dog ticks plus chiggers. The Mosquito + Tick plan ($65/treatment) is the right call here — bundles mosquito + tick + chigger for $48.75/month equivalent over the 9-month season.
Sentricon® on substantial homes
Highland Lakes homes are substantial — finished basements, walkout foundations, extensive masonry. Sentricon® Always Active™ in-ground bait stations protect without drilling into any of it. priced after a free WDO inspection, with up to $1M in EnviroCare-backed damage coverage on qualifying homes.
Field-edge rodent pressure
Lots backing up to wooded common areas or undeveloped acreage get seasonal rodent migration — typically fall as temperatures drop. Exterior bait station programs (added to a standard pest plan) keep the perimeter monitored without interior exposure.
Carpenter ants tracing moisture
Older Highland Lakes homes with deep eaves, wood siding details, or moisture-prone areas (downspout terminations, irrigation overlap) attract carpenter ants. Bi-monthly perimeter service ($35/mo) handles the ant family along with 30+ other Alabama pests.
Brown recluse in basements
Walkout basements, finished lower levels, storage rooms, and garages in Highland Lakes homes are exactly the dark undisturbed harborage brown recluse colonizes. Targeted interior service hits the actual hiding zones, not just open floor space.
