Pest control in Kingston Hills: the short answer
Kingston is a quieter part of Prattville next to open, rural land, and homes on that edge see more mice in cool weather, more fire ant mounds and more ticks than homes in the middle of town. Newer construction also needs a termite plan. Call (334) 555-0147 to speak with a local pest control company that serves Kingston Hills and ZIP 36067.

Living next to open land
Ticks wait in tall grass, brush and leaf litter, so the Alabama Department of Public Health suggests keeping to mowed areas, using EPA-registered repellent and checking pets carefully. For mice, the CDC's advice is to seal gaps, trap and remove food and shelter. Mice can fit through a hole about the size of a nickel.
Fire ants along the property line
Open land next door means a steady supply of new fire ant colonies. The Encyclopedia of Alabama describes broadcast baits as often the most cost-effective option for a whole yard, with individual treatment for mounds near walkways, doors and play areas. Because new colonies keep moving in from neighboring land, many yards on the rural edge need treatment more than once a year. See fire ant control and our two-step method guide.
