Selma’s Family-Friendly Exterminator

Selma’s historic neighborhoods, riverside landscape, and warm Alabama climate make it a beautiful place to live—but also a magnet for pests.

Without ongoing protection, these pests can quickly become more than a nuisance—they can impact your comfort, safety, and property.

Harbor Pest Control provides trusted, family-friendly pest control services designed specifically for Selma and surrounding Dallas County communities. Whether you’re dealing with an active infestation or want to prevent new ones, our local team delivers fast, long-lasting solutions with honest, dependable service.

Pest Control Built for Selma’s Environment

Understanding Selma’s Pest Pressures

Selma’s combination of historic homes, river humidity, shaded lots, and older construction creates ideal conditions for pests to thrive. Many homes have crawl spaces, aging exterior gaps, and moisture issues that attract insects and rodents year-round. Our service accounts for these local factors and builds a protection plan tailored to your property.

1. Thorough Inspection & Assessment

Every service begins with a detailed inspection of your home and property. We:

  • Listen to your concerns and where you’ve seen signs of activity
  • Inspect kitchens, bathrooms, garages, crawl spaces, and attics
  • Check for moisture issues, structural gaps, and entry points
  • Identify the specific pests involved and how they’re getting inside

This allows us to design a treatment plan based on real findings—not assumptions.

2. Initial Treatment to Stabilize Active Pest Problems

If pests are already present, we focus on fast, effective elimination. This includes:

  • Crack-and-crevice treatments in hiding areas
  • Targeted applications around plumbing lines and wall voids
  • Hot spot treatment for kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points
  • Attic or crawl space treatments if needed

This step quickly reduces active pest populations and prepares your home for long-term protection.

3. Strong Exterior Barrier Protection

Most Selma pests come from outside—so your exterior is your first and strongest line of defense. We apply a durable, weather-resistant barrier around:

  • Foundation and perimeter walls
  • Window and door frames
  • Eaves, vents, and utility lines
  • Landscaping areas touching the home

We also remove reachable spider webs and stinging insect nests during service. Our products are selected to withstand Alabama’s heat, humidity, and rainfall patterns.

4. Ongoing Pest Prevention & Routine Maintenance

Selma’s year-round pest activity makes recurring service essential. With routine visits, we:

  • Refresh the exterior barrier
  • Monitor for seasonal pest changes
  • Provide interior treatments if needed
  • Identify early warning signs before pests spread
  • Keep your home protected through every season

And if pests return between scheduled visits, we come back at no additional cost.

Common Pests We Treat in Selma, AL

Selma homeowners deal with a wide range of pests throughout the year due to the area’s warm climate, river humidity, and shaded residential landscapes. We provide targeted, effective solutions for all major local pests, including:

Ants

Fire ants, carpenter ants, and sugar ants are all common in Selma. Whether they’re invading kitchens, damaging wood, or building mounds in your yard, we use species-specific treatments to eliminate colonies at the source.

Cockroaches

German and American roaches thrive in Alabama’s moisture-rich environment. We target their hiding places in kitchens, bathrooms, wall voids, and crawl spaces to break the cycle and stop them from spreading.

Spiders

From harmless house spiders to more concerning species like brown recluses, we reduce spider populations by addressing both the spiders themselves and the insects they feed on.

Rodents

Mice and rats often enter Selma homes seeking food, warmth, and shelter. We combine trapping, removal, and exclusion work to stop active activity and keep rodents from returning.

Fleas & Ticks

These pests are frequently introduced by pets or local wildlife. Our treatments target both indoor and outdoor areas to eliminate pests at every life stage.

Mosquitoes

Selma’s humidity and seasonal rainfall create perfect breeding conditions for mosquitoes. We provide targeted yard treatments to reduce mosquito populations and protect your outdoor spaces.

Stinging Insects

Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can build nests around homes, posing risks to families and pets. We handle safe, professional removal and help prevent new nests from forming.

Pest Control FAQs — Selma, AL

Why does Selma have such heavy pest activity?

Selma’s warm climate, proximity to the Alabama River, and large number of mature, shaded neighborhoods create ideal conditions for ants, roaches, spiders, and rodents to thrive throughout the year.

How often should I schedule pest control for my Selma home?

Quarterly visits are best for most homes. Properties near wooded areas, older structures, or moisture-prone foundations may benefit from bi-monthly treatments.

Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use family-friendly products and apply them with precision. We’ll let you know if any temporary precautions are needed after treatment.

Do you offer same-day service in Selma?

We do our best to provide same-day or next-day service when urgent pest issues arise.

What pests are most common in Selma?

Ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and stinging insects are the most frequent issues for homeowners—along with seasonal invaders like crickets and beetles.

Will I still see pests after the first treatment?

Some temporary activity is normal as pests are flushed out, but this quickly decreases as our treatments take effect.

What if pests return between visits?

If you’re on a recurring service plan, we’ll return to treat the issue free of charge.
