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
