It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Alabama has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers, mild winters, and high annual rainfall, favoring year-round pest activity. Most homes were built mid-20th century, with a mix of older farmhouses and newer manufactured housing typical of small rural Alabama towns. That's exactly what termites, fire ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, and carpenter ants need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Mix of older in-town frame and brick homes, mid-20th-century construction, and mobile homes on the town's outskirts, typical of small Alabama towns. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
