Lake Martin homes from Willow Point to The Ridge to Trillium trust EnviroCare — the Wedgworth family business doing pest control in Alabama since 1958 as Wedgworth Pest Control, still known by that name to many on the lake. Mosquito barrier, tick control, Sentricon® — all from your local office.
A lake house has every pest problem a house in town has, plus two of its own. It sits on the water, so mosquito pressure from March through October is the highest anywhere in our service area — the coves, the shaded shoreline, and the still water behind a dock are breeding habitat a subdivision does not have. And most lake houses are empty during the week, which means nobody is there to notice the first mouse in the pantry, the first wasp nest in the boathouse rafters, or the mud tube going up a crawlspace pier. Docks, boathouses, pump houses, and outbuildings are all wood in contact with damp ground, which is what subterranean termites look for. The Wedgworth family has been treating Lake Martin properties since 1958, and the program is built around the way a lake house is actually used: the exterior, the outbuildings, and the shoreline get treated on a schedule whether anyone is home or not.
Every Lake Martin home gets the same four-pillar program — pest, termite, mosquito, and tick protection from the same family-owned team.
Your technician is a neighbor — we know every street.
What we treat most often around Lake Martin — and how each program handles it.
The shoreline and the coves are breeding habitat. Seasonal mosquito treatment, eight visits March through October, targets the resting sites — foliage, under the deck, the shaded side of the house — and reduces the population. It does not remove every mosquito on a lake, and we say so. Tick coverage is added for wooded lots.
Docks, boathouses, pump houses, and crawlspace piers are all wood near damp ground. The free WDO inspection covers every outbuilding, and Sentricon® Always Active™ protects the main structure with no drilling.
An empty house with a stocked pantry is the best offer a mouse gets all year. Exclusion at the doors, the garage, and the crawlspace vents is part of every exterior visit.
Boathouse rafters, covered slips, and the soffit over the lake-side porch are where nests start. They are treated on routine visits when within reach of the structure.
Spiders follow the insects the water attracts. Boathouses, docks, and screened porches carry the heaviest pressure, and reducing the insect food supply is what lowers it.
Odorous house ants and carpenter ants — the latter in damp deck and dock wood — are the common calls. Nuisance ants are covered; carpenter ant work starts with the moisture.
Yes — that is most of our Lake Martin accounts. Routine exterior service does not require anyone to be home, and we can schedule interior visits around your weekends.
$35 a month on a 12-month ACH agreement, or $70 per visit with no long-term pest agreement, plus a $75 initial service. Free re-service between scheduled visits is included.
Yes. The free WDO inspection covers the home, crawlspace, dock, pier, boathouse, and any outbuilding. Termite work is quoted after that inspection, never over the phone.
Treatment goes on the resting sites around the house, not the lake, to reduce mosquito populations in the treated area. The program includes eight treatments from March through October and 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.
