Who is Alabama Termite & Pest Services?

Alabama Termite & Pest Services is a family-owned and operated pest control company. Our family has served Alabama since 1963. Based in Bessemer, the company serves homeowners and businesses across Birmingham Metro and Baldwin County / Gulf Coast with general pest control, termite protection, mosquito control, rodent control, and commercial pest programs. The company operates two Alabama offices, in Bessemer and Lillian, holds Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries permit #7000240, and holds a 4.9-star average across 261 Google reviews. The inspection is free and both offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Alabama pests don’t need much to move in.

In Alabama, pest pressure is driven by moisture, shade, shelter, food sources, and easy entry points. A quick spray can knock activity down, but it usually does not fix the conditions that keep feeding the problem.

Moisture zones

Crawlspaces, shaded foundations, drains, and damp landscaping can support termites, roaches, mosquitoes, and other pests.

Entry routes

Gaps, vents, utility lines, garages, and rooflines can allow insects and rodents to move inside.

Repeat pressure

Ants, roaches, spiders, rodents, and mosquitoes often return when the source conditions are left alone.

Structural risk

Termites require a different level of inspection and protection because they can threaten the structure itself.

The goal is not “spray more.” The goal is to reduce pressure and close the routes that keep pests coming back.

This approach follows Integrated Pest Management principles, which focus on identifying pest pressure, reducing conditions, and using targeted control methods.

One treatment stops today. A plan stops next season.

Alabama pest pressure does not take the year off. Heat, humidity, crawl spaces, and vegetation keep pushing activity toward your house through most of the calendar. A recurring plan keeps the perimeter treated so the problem never rebuilds.

For heavier pressure

Monthly service

Twelve visits a year for properties that need a tighter interval. Usually the right call for heavy roach or ant pressure, a wooded or low-lying lot, a rental with frequent turnover, or a property where quarterly has not held.

  • Everything in quarterly, on a monthly interval
  • Shorter gaps between treatments
  • Better for properties with a recurring history
  • Free call-backs between visits
  • Cancel anytime — no long-term contract

Seeing activity between visits?

Call us. The return visit is free. Give the last treatment 14 days first, because most products need that long to move through a colony and reach the nest. After day 14, if anything is still active, we come back out.

Pest and termite stay separate

We write them as two agreements on purpose, so you can see exactly what each one covers and what each one costs. They can be bundled if you want both. Ask during the inspection.

The right interval depends on the pest, the property, and what the inspection finds. Start with the free inspection and you will get a straight recommendation, not an upsell.

Termites are different. They are structural.

Termite service should not be treated like routine pest control. Termite protection depends on construction type, moisture conditions, access points, and actual evidence found during inspection.

Alabama’s termite pressure is well documented, including ongoing concern around termites in Alabama and coastal areas such as Baldwin County.

  • Inspection for evidence, moisture, shelter tubes, wood contact, and conditions that raise risk
  • Options based on the property, not a generic one-size-fits-all recommendation
  • Monitored bait station systems like Trelona® when they fit the situation
  • Termite bonds with annual renewal
  • Official Alabama Wood Infestation Report (WIR) letters for properties already under a termite agreement with us. We do not issue standalone WIR letters.

I would 100% recommend Max and Alabama Termite and Pest Services. Max is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient with his pest control. We have a home in the Lillian, AL area and we were struggling with lots of earwigs and some spiders, amongst other bugs. They have been able to control them well. They are great to work with, priced well, and control pests, what more could you want?

Get My Free Inspection

The Alabama Termite & Pest Services way.

Reduce pressure. Close the routes. Keep it controlled.

1

Schedule

Tell us what you are seeing and where the property is located so we can route the right office.

2

Inspect

We look for activity, entry points, moisture zones, pest pressure, and conditions that matter. The inspection is free.

3

Explain

You get clear findings and straightforward options before treatment begins.

4

Treat

We use a targeted approach based on the pest and the structure, not a generic spray-and-go plan.

5

Follow through

If activity returns, we respond, adjust, and help keep the problem from restarting.

You should know what is being applied and where.

Most homeowners ask about pets and children before they ask about price. That is a fair question, and you should get a direct answer before anyone treats your property.

You get told first

The technician explains what is being applied, where it is going, and why, before treatment starts.

Targeted placement

Materials go into cracks, voids, perimeters, and harborage areas rather than broadcast across living space.

Re-entry guidance

You get clear instructions on when to bring pets back in, when kids can use treated areas, and what to keep covered.

Label compliance

Every product is applied according to its EPA-registered label. Alabama Termite & Pest Services holds Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries business license #12246, and the technician working your property holds individual permit #7000240.

Tell the office about pets, aquariums, beehives, garden beds, or anyone in the home with sensitivities. That changes what gets recommended and how it gets applied.

The EPA publishes homeowner guidance on pest control and pesticide safety, including how to read a product label and what questions to ask a pest control company.

If it comes back, we come back.

Here is what is covered, what is not, and what it costs you when activity returns. You get all of it in writing before you sign, and the technician who inspected your property walks you through it in person.

Termite returns cost nothing

If termite activity shows up on a property we protect, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge — and we are back out within 48 hours of your report. That response time is part of the agreement, not a courtesy.

Re-treatment, not repair

Our termite agreement covers re-treatment. It does not cover repair of structural damage. Some companies sell repair bonds at a higher price. Ask which one you are being quoted, here or anywhere else.

It transfers when you sell

Termite coverage transfers to the buyer at closing, which makes the protection part of what you are selling. Agreements renew year to year.

Cancel your pest plan anytime

Pest control runs quarterly or monthly with no long-term contract and no fixed term. You stay because the service holds up, not because an agreement says you have to.

Free call-backs on pest service

On a pest control plan and still seeing activity? Call and we come back at no charge. Give the treatment 14 days first — most products need that long to reach the nest or harborage. After day 14, the call-back is yours.

Licensed, permitted, insured

Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries business license #12246 and individual permit #7000240, carrying general liability insurance. Family-owned in Alabama since 1963.

Termite and pest control are written as separate agreements so you can see exactly what each one covers. Coverage depends on the property, the construction type, and what the inspection finds. Full terms are in your written agreement before anything is signed.

Common questions before scheduling pest control.

Have questions before booking service? Here are the answers homeowners and businesses often ask before scheduling pest control or termite protection with Alabama Termite & Pest Services.

Is the inspection free?

Yes. Alabama Termite & Pest Services provides a free inspection for homeowners and businesses in the Birmingham Metro and Baldwin County service areas. The inspection identifies active pest or termite evidence, entry points, moisture conditions, and the conditions that allow pests to return. You get the findings and your options before any treatment begins.

What about my pets and my kids?

Tell the office before the visit. Pets, aquariums, beehives, garden beds, and anyone in the home with sensitivities all change what the technician recommends and how it is applied. Every product is applied according to its EPA-registered label. Alabama Termite & Pest Services holds Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries business license #12246, and the technician working your property holds individual permit #7000240.

Before treatment starts, you get told what is being applied and where. After treatment, you get instructions on when to bring pets back in, when children can use treated areas, and what to keep covered. If you want those details in advance, ask during the free inspection.

What are your hours?

Both offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Requests submitted during business hours are answered within 12 hours. Requests submitted after hours or on a weekend are answered by 9:00 AM the next business day.

Do you serve both Birmingham and the Gulf Coast?

Yes. Alabama Termite & Pest Services operates two Alabama offices. The Bessemer office at 2998 Phillips Rd serves Birmingham Metro, including Birmingham, Bessemer, Hoover, Alabaster, Helena, Pelham, Lake View, McCalla, Homewood, and Trussville. The Lillian office at 12787 5th St serves Baldwin County and the Gulf Coast, including Foley, Lillian, Elberta, Fairhope, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Daphne, Spanish Fort, and Robertsdale.

What pest control services do you offer?

We offer residential pest control, termite control, termite bait stations, real estate termite inspections, mosquito control, rodent control, ant control, cockroach control, spider control, stinging insect control, flea control, and commercial pest control programs.

Service recommendations depend on the pest, property type, activity level, and what the technician finds during inspection.

Is termite control different from general pest control?

Yes. Termites are structural pests, so termite control should not be handled like routine general pest service. A termite recommendation should consider the construction type, moisture conditions, crawl space or slab details, visible evidence, and the right protection system for the property.

The EPA also provides homeowner guidance on how to identify and control termites.

How often should I get pest control in Alabama?

Most Alabama homes benefit from ongoing pest protection because heat, humidity, shade, moisture, crawl spaces, vegetation, and small entry points can keep pest pressure active through much of the year.

Quarterly service fits most Alabama homes and is what we recommend by default. Monthly service is available for heavier pressure, wooded or low-lying lots, rentals with frequent turnover, or properties where quarterly has not held. The right interval depends on the pest, the property, and what the inspection finds.

Am I locked into a contract?

Not for pest control. Plans run quarterly or monthly, there is no fixed term, and you can cancel anytime. No long-term agreement.

Termite protection works differently. It is a year-to-year agreement that renews annually, because continuous coverage is what makes the protection worth having — and it transfers to the buyer when you sell the home.

What if I still see pests between visits?

Call the office and we come back at no charge. Give the last treatment 14 days first. Most products are designed to move through a colony and reach the nest or harborage, and that takes time, so activity in the first two weeks is often the treatment working rather than failing.

After day 14, if anything is still active, the return visit is free and part of your plan.

What happens if termites come back?

If termite activity appears on a property we protect, we return and re-treat at no additional charge, and we respond within 48 hours of your report. That response time is written into the agreement.

Our termite agreement covers re-treatment. It does not cover repair of structural damage. Some companies sell repair bonds at a higher price, so ask which type you are being quoted, here or anywhere else. Termite agreements renew year to year and transfer to the buyer when you sell the home.

Do you offer termite inspections?

Yes. Alabama Termite & Pest Services provides termite inspections for homeowners, buyers, sellers, real estate professionals, and property managers. A termite inspection helps identify visible termite activity, conducive conditions, moisture concerns, and areas that may need treatment or protection.

Can you issue a WIR letter for my closing?

We issue the Official Alabama Wood Infestation Report (WIR) for properties that are already under a termite agreement with us. We do not issue standalone WIR letters for properties we do not service.

If you are buying or selling a home we already protect, call the office that covers the property and we will schedule it. If the property is not under a termite agreement, we can talk about termite protection first.

Do you offer a termite bond?

Yes. A termite bond is an ongoing agreement that covers inspection, monitoring, and the terms of continued termite protection on your property, renewed annually.

What the bond includes depends on the construction type, the protection system used, and what the inspection finds. Start with the free inspection and you will get the terms in writing before you decide.

Can you help with ants, roaches, rodents, mosquitoes, and spiders?

Yes. Common Alabama pest problems include ants, cockroaches, rodents, mosquitoes, spiders, fleas, wasps, hornets, and termites. The right treatment depends on where the pest is active, how it is getting inside, and what conditions are helping it survive around the structure.

Do you offer commercial pest control?

Yes. We provide commercial pest control programs for property managers, restaurants, hospitality properties, warehouses, offices, retail spaces, and other business environments. Commercial service can include inspections, treatment, prevention recommendations, documentation, and ongoing pest management.

What happens after I request an inspection or service?

The office reviews your request, confirms your service area, and schedules the free inspection. Requests submitted during business hours are answered within 12 hours. Requests submitted after hours are answered by 9:00 AM the next business day. If your property is closer to the other Alabama office, the team routes your request there.

Which office should I call?

For Birmingham Metro service, call the Bessemer office at 205-425-7378. For Baldwin County and Gulf Coast service, call the Lillian office at 251-752-0506. If you are not sure which office serves your property, enter your ZIP code in the request box near the top of this page and the team will route you.

Do you treat the cause of the pest problem or just the visible pests?

The goal is to treat the active pest issue and identify the conditions that may be helping pests return. That can include entry points, moisture, exterior harborage, food sources, vegetation near the structure, crawl space conditions, or sanitation concerns depending on the property.
