Why Choose Professional Pest Control?
Pest resistance is a frequent consequence of store-bought sprays and other insect-trapping products. Although they can help with minor insects, other pests can be far more challenging to eliminate. Many of the most common household pests can build up a tolerance to over-the-counter insect control treatments, making removal difficult and costly.
Most importantly, many store-bought products can threaten your health if not handled properly and even worsen the outcome of an infestation.
If you need pest control services for any insect in your house, Vulcan Termite & Pest Control Inc. is Birmingham, Alabama's leading family-owned pest control provider. We offer same-day and next-day services at no additional cost to resolve all of our customers' pest problems. Our expert technicians use professional-grade products to eliminate specific pests and prevent them from invading your home again (or in the first place).
Common Household Pests We Treat Year-Round
Alabama's humid, subtropical climate creates a breeding ground for many unwanted pests to make it out of the weeds and into your home. Here are some of the most common pests to identify indoors:
Ants
Ants are a familiar pest that can invade your house or apartment through the cracks of a window or by hitching a ride on your newest indoor plant. Fire ants are more prevalent in the summer and among the fiercest of their kind. The tiny insect travels in colonies and is attracted to warm places and hot environments, making your home its perfect summer getaway.
Cockroaches
The American cockroach is the largest house-infecting cockroach and typically requires continued professional insect control treatments. They multiply as quickly as they appear, making them challenging to eliminate. They can transmit parasitic worms, human pathogens, harmful diseases, and over 33 kinds of bacteria. They are most active in temperatures in the 70s or higher, so infestations increase during the hotter months of the year.
Spiders
Spiders are creepy crawlers that lurk out of sight, but that does not mean they should be out of mind. Most spiders are harmless to humans, but a few species can be venomous and even life-threatening. Professional insect pest control services are necessary to remove spiders from your home.
Silverfish
Silverfish are relatively safe for humans and do not bite or spread disease, but that does not mean you should allow them in your home. They get their name from their fish-like appearance, and like fish, they gravitate to areas that retain moisture, like your bathroom or kitchen. While in your kitchen, they will eventually enter your pantry, contaminating your food storage.
Occasional Invaders
Other less common but uninvited pests to watch out for include the ever-so-stubborn carpet beetles, centipedes, earwigs, wasps, slugs, and mites. We offer plenty of insecticides to protect your home from these occasional invaders.

Pest Control for Flying & Stinging Bugs
Some pests are easy to spot, but others can sneak past you and fly right over your head and into your home when you walk in the door—these are the ones you'll notice once it's too late. With easy access points, flying and stinging pests can easily infest your homes.
Winged pests are more than a problem; they're a nuisance. These insects include flies, gnats, mosquitoes, aphids, wasps, and Japanese beetles. Although some of these are not directly dangerous to humans, they can cause unsanitary living conditions and even attract more unwanted pests into your home. At Vulcan Termite & Pest Control Inc., our treatments don't just repel bugs from flying indoors; they keep them from bugging you again.
To make matters worse, some of these pests don't just fly; they also sting!
Carpenter bees, hornets, wasps, and, believe it or not, certain kinds of caterpillars are among the stinging insects you could come across more often than you might think. Stings can hurt and be very agitating for most people, as well as a source of concerning allergic reactions in others. A risk for infection is also present when sting marks are not properly cared for. Stinging insects require top-of-the-line pesticides from our expert technicians due to the unknowns around these pain-inflicting pests.
