Yard Pest Control in Birmingham, AL, for Safer Outdoors

Common Yard Pests We Handle

Outdoor pests pose a larger threat than many people realize. Dealing with minor pest problems can lead to substantial pest infestations. Some bugs sting, other insects bite, and you don't deserve any part of it. Let our experts repel pests so you can rest.

Wasps, Hornets, and Bees

Getting rid of wasps, hornets, bees, and yellow jackets can be very difficult, depending on where their nests are. Some build their nests high up in sheltered spots like a roof, while others burrow beneath rocks or tall patches of grass. These winged bugs also pose a threat that other bugs don't; they sting.

These insects can be a hazard to pets and people due to the allergic reactions they can cause, and their stings can cause pain, irritation, and swelling. Although they usually won't bother you if you don't bother them, if one of these harmful pests has made their home on your lawn, you're bound to have a few run-ins.

It's best to leave these winged stingers to the professionals, especially bees. Since bees are beneficial for pollinating your garden, we want to relocate them safely, using natural solutions. Over-the-counter pesticides typically contain harsh chemicals that are toxic to these valuable bugs. We will send one of our expert pest techs to thoroughly inspect the pests present and determine the best method for safe removal.

Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks pose health risks to you and your furry friends. They can transmit diseases and health-related problems that weaken your pet's immune system. With fleas in particular, they can multiply quickly, leading to an infestation almost overnight. Eliminating these tiny intruders is vital before they enter your home from your backyard.

A targeted treatment is necessary to repel ticks and fleas. Tick and flea control requires using pesticides or other select chemicals to eliminate them for good.

Mosquitoes

Nothing ruins outdoor fun more than walking inside only to be covered in mosquito bites; mosquito spray repellent only does so much. Mosquitoes can harbor disease-causing pathogens, like the Zika virus and malaria. Infected mosquitoes can also transmit heartworms to your furry friends, so it's essential to protect your pet with monthly household mosquito-prevention measures that decimate these nasty insects at the source.

A professional pest control service is necessary to repel mosquitoes. One of our expert technicians will inspect the property for mosquito breeding conditions, then use a mosquito spray that is safe for your family and pets while powerfully killing mosquitoes for the long haul. We offer a range of solutions that will keep the blood-sucking bugs at bay from Spring through Fall.

For best results, make your reservations for mosquito treatment early to receive a year of mosquito control at a discounted price!

Other Biting Bugs

Ants

If you see ants in your yard, they'll likely make a home inside your home sooner rather than later. Like mosquitoes, ants can bite and quickly cover you with itchy welts if they're lurking in your yard.

Ants flock to sugary, sticky foods and slightly cracked windows. To ensure your lawn stays protected from ants, we treat ant mounds to create a barrier they won't cross, because it kills them on contact.

Spiders

Spiders are creepy crawlers that lurk where it’s hard to see them, but that doesn't mean they're not there. While some of these insects are harmless, others can be life-threatening.

Spraying repellent and pesticides for spiders is beneficial, when done by a professional, because the leggy arachnids can lay eggs—leading to an infestation—attract other bugs, and hide out in hard-to-reach places. Luckily, nowhere is too hard for our pest experts to reach.
