It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Humid subtropical climate of central Alabama/Shelby County, with hot summers and mild winters. A notable share of older historic homes near downtown alongside newer Shelby County suburban construction. That's exactly what fire ants, subterranean termites, mosquitoes, cockroaches, carpenter ants, and spiders 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. A mix of historic homes near downtown, student rental housing around the University of Montevallo, and newer Shelby County suburban development. 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.
