Precision Pest Control works homes and townhouses across Birmingham, from the older bungalows near Avondale and Forest Park to newer builds out toward Trussville and Hoover. Because so many of these properties have young kids, pets, or both, our Birmingham crew treats with that in mind on every visit. We handle the centipedes, ants, and roaches that actually show up here, not a generic list.


In Birmingham we see centipedes and millipedes come in heavy after rain, especially around homes backing up to wooded lots near Red Mountain and Shades Creek. Ants and pill bugs show up in mulch beds and along foundation lines, and silverfish tend to turn up in bathrooms and basements in the older housing stock around Avondale. Cockroaches are a year-round concern given our humidity, and mosquitoes peak from late spring through early fall. Because so many Birmingham households have kids or pets on the same lawn we treat, we choose products and application methods that let a family go back outside quickly, and we tell you when it's safe.
Birmingham's warm, humid stretch from April through September is when centipedes, millipedes, and ants move indoors looking for moisture, and it's also when families are outside the most, on decks in Homewood, in backyards near Shades Creek, at ballfields around Trussville. That overlap is what shapes how we treat here. We favor targeted bait placement and crack-and-crevice application over broad perimeter spraying whenever the infestation allows it, because it puts less product where hands and paws actually touch. For the roaches and silverfish common in Birmingham's older brick and frame houses, that often means gel bait in cabinet corners and under sinks rather than a blanket treatment of the kitchen.
Outdoor mosquito work follows the same logic. We time treatments for early morning or evening, before kids and dogs are back on the lawn, and we walk you through how long to wait before letting them out again, usually a couple of hours once product has dried. If ant trails are coming in along a slab or foundation line, which happens a lot in the older sections of town, we seal what we can find rather than just spraying the trail, because that's what actually stops the next line from starting. Every product we bring into a Birmingham home gets picked with the idea that a toddler or a dog is probably going to be in that room within the hour.
