Meridianville sits in Madison County just north of Huntsville, strung along US-231 where subdivisions meet working farmland. The Flint River runs east of town, Meridianville Bottom Rd cuts through low ground that stays wet, and new construction keeps pushing into ground that was pasture and timber a few years ago. That is a setting that produces steady termite, ant, and mosquito pressure. The Wedgworth family has been doing pest control and termite control in Alabama since 1958, and we cover Meridianville and the 35759 ZIP code from our Huntsville office.
Three local factors drive it. The first is water. The Flint River corridor and the bottomland along Meridianville Bottom Rd hold moisture long after rain, and the Tennessee Valley's humid summers keep it there. Subterranean termite colonies need moist soil to forage, and this is moist soil. The second is new construction. Meridianville has grown quickly along the US-231 corridor. Clearing and grading a lot destroys existing habitat but does not destroy the colonies living in it - it displaces them toward whatever is built next. A brand-new home is not a protected home. Untreated soil under a new slab is an open path, and construction-stage lumber stacked on bare ground is its own invitation. The third is the agricultural edge. Where subdivisions back onto pasture, row crop, and hay fields, you get fire ants in the open ground, rodents moving in as fields are cut, and a steady supply of occasional invaders - crickets, beetles, spiders - migrating toward structures when conditions change.
Every Meridianville 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 Meridianville — and how each program handles it.
Eastern subterranean termites are the primary structural threat across Madison County. They live in soil, forage upward, and build shelter tubes across foundation walls and piers to reach wood. Most homeowners find out from a spring swarm or from damage discovered during a renovation. EnviroCare is a Sentricon Certified Specialist. We install Sentricon Always Active in-ground bait stations around the structure and monitor them on a schedule. Foraging termites feed at the station and carry bait back toward the colony, which addresses the nest rather than only the soil at the foundation. There is no slab drilling and no chemical trenching. Termite service includes up to $1,000,000 in damage repair coverage, subject to the terms of the agreement, and is priced after a free on-site inspection.
Fire ants thrive in the open, sunny ground that surrounds Meridianville - yards, pasture edges, ditch banks along US-231 - and they mound heavily after rain. Fire ant treatment is a whole-yard approach and is priced as a separate add-on to the base plan. Odorous house ants and Argentine ants stay active through mild North Alabama winters and move indoors after weather swings. Those are covered under the regular pest plan.
Rural and agricultural surroundings mean mice and rats are always nearby, and they head toward structures when fields are harvested and nights get cold. Rodent control begins with exclusion - foundation gaps, gable vents, garage door corners, utility penetrations - because a home that is sealed stays clear far longer than one that is only trapped.
Outbuildings, barns, detached garages, and porches on Meridianville properties are prime spider harborage, including widows. Crickets, millipedes, and ground beetles push in from surrounding fields during dry spells and cold snaps. Perimeter service is what keeps them outside.
Paper wasps and hornets nest under soffits and in shrub lines. Both are addressed during exterior service.
Mosquito season in North Alabama runs March through October. Properties near the Flint River, near farm ponds, and along the bottomland hold the highest counts. Mosquito service reduces mosquito populations in the treated area by targeting resting sites and standing-water breeding habitat - it is a reduction program, not elimination. Ticks are a real concern where yards meet pasture and timber and are treated alongside mosquito service. Both are add-ons to the base plan.
Plans are $35, $69, or about $100 per month, billed on a 12-month ACH agreement. The $35 plan is bi-monthly exterior service covering 30-plus common Alabama pests, with re-service between scheduled visits included at no extra charge. Fire ant, flea, tick, and mosquito are separate add-ons. Termite work is priced after a free on-site inspection.
Yes. New construction is not inherently protected. Untreated soil beneath a new slab is an open path for subterranean termites, and grading disturbs existing colonies and pushes them toward the new structure. Termite protection at or shortly after completion is standard practice in Alabama, not an upgrade.
No. Sentricon Always Active in-ground bait stations go into the soil around the structure and are monitored on a schedule - no slab drilling, no chemical trenching. Homes on the plan carry up to $1,000,000 in damage repair coverage, subject to the terms of the agreement.
Yes. Outbuildings are common in Meridianville and are frequently the source of what shows up in the house. We inspect them and include them in the scope.
Yes. Fire ant treatment is a whole-yard approach priced separately from the base pest plan, and it is quoted after we see the property and the extent of the mounding.
Yes. On-site inspections and quotes for pest control and termite service are free and carry no obligation.
