Preventative pest and termite protection for Alabaster’s growing neighborhoods.
Alabaster has grown quickly, and many neighborhoods along the I-65 corridor in Shelby County are filled with newer homes. It is easy to assume a new house is safe from pests, but building on freshly cleared land can actually stir up termites and ants that were already living in the soil.
Subterranean termites travel through the ground and can reach a home through tiny gaps in the slab or foundation. Fire ants often move into new lawns and sod. Once the landscaping fills in, stinkbugs and ladybugs may start gathering on sunny walls in the fall, looking for a way inside for the winter. Mosquitoes can also be a problem in neighborhoods with retention ponds, drainage areas, and fresh landscaping that holds water after a storm.
The best time to protect a home is before there is damage. Our termite control service starts with an inspection and a treatment plan designed to guard your home for the long haul. For ants and other outdoor invaders, our ant control treats colonies at the source so they stop marching into your kitchen. We treat the source of the problem so you get long-term, preventative protection instead of a quick fix that fades in a few weeks.

Yes. Termites already living in the soil can find their way into a new home through small gaps in the slab, around plumbing, or where wood touches the ground. Early protection is the easiest way to prevent damage.
Fire ants and other ants often move into freshly disturbed soil and new sod. Treating the colony directly works much better than knocking down the mounds you can see.
As temperatures drop, these insects gather on warm, sunny sides of a home looking for cracks to spend the winter in. Sealing gaps and treating the exterior helps keep them out.
Many homeowners choose a yearly inspection. We can recommend a schedule based on your home, soil, and any past termite activity.
