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. Mix of early-1900s downtown homes and newer lake-area construction built over the past few decades. 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 near the courthouse square, mid-century neighborhoods, and lakefront homes/cabins near Lake Martin. 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.
