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 mid-20th-century suburban neighborhoods and newer subdivisions 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. Broader suburban mix of older established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions typical of a Birmingham-metro suburb. 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.
