Every service is explained on our page about pest control near Prattville.
Spiders in sheds and outbuildings
Black widows prefer quiet, undisturbed places, and Alabama Extension lists stacked blocks, water meter boxes, outdoor faucets, sheds, garages and idle equipment among their favorites. Wear gloves when moving stored items, use a flashlight in dark corners and clear out clutter. Brown recluses adapt well indoors and hide in boxes, closets and shoes. See spider control.
Older buildings and termites
Wetumpka's historic downtown and older homes deserve the same termite attention as Prattville's. Moisture, wood touching soil and mulch against the foundation all raise the risk, according to Alabama Extension, and an annual inspection is the recommended baseline.
