The Old Town Historic District, the Icehouse Historic District, the Riverview Historic District and the Water Avenue Historic District are all named in local records, along with Sturdivant Hall, the Joseph T. Smitherman Museum and Bloch Park. Sunset Mill Village is another named neighborhood. Older construction of any kind gives pests more gaps to use.

Pests we treat around Selma
Pests in Selma
What we deal with most around Selma, AL
Selma's heat makes it a strong place for insects that love warmth and moisture. Termites work through wood near soil, and carpenter ants move into beams and trim that have taken on water. Cockroaches are a steady concern in kitchens, restaurants and older buildings with worn seals around pipes. Spiders, wasps and fleas add to the list, and pets that spend time in the yard can bring fleas indoors quickly.
About 81 days a year in Selma reach 90 degrees or higher, so insect life cycles run fast for much of the year. There are also roughly 40 nights at or below freezing, and those cooler nights send mice and rats hunting for warm attics, wall voids and storage rooms. Mosquitoes settle in wherever rainwater stands, so mosquito control is worth planning before the heat arrives.
Weather and pests
How Selma's weather affects pest activity
Selma's summers are long and hot, with a July high that averages about 93 degrees. January is the coldest month, with lows near 36. Precipitation totals roughly 55 inches in a typical year, with no measurable snow, and February is the wettest month at about 5.3 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so think of them as a guide, not a forecast.
A wet February may seem an odd time to worry about pests, but saturated soil is exactly what termites and carpenter ants want as the weather warms. Damp ground near a foundation also invites cockroaches and ants to move closer. Moving into the hot months, rain-filled gutters, clogged drains and saucers under plants turn into mosquito nurseries.
For most properties in Selma the useful plan is simple. Fix leaks and improve drainage in late winter. Trim vegetation off the walls and roof in spring. Treat the perimeter before peak heat, and check screens and door sweeps in the fall so mice have fewer ways in when the first cold nights arrive.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Selma
Ant treatment in Selma
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Selma, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Selma
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Selma buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Selma
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Selma home is built.
Cockroach control in Selma
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Selma apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Selma
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Selma
Selma's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
