If you’ve lived in Alabama long enough, you know that the pests are active year-round. From roaches in the summer to rodents in the winter, pests just keep showing up. That’s where quarterly pest control comes in.
But is it worth it?
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what our quarterly service includes, the types of pests it helps with, and how to determine if it’s the right fit for your home or business.
Key Takeaways:
- Quarterly pest control provides consistent, year-round protection against common Alabama pests like roaches, fleas, and termites.
- It’s more cost-effective and proactive than waiting for an infestation to happen.
- Plans from Magic City Pest Control start at $60/month, and you can customize them with termite or mosquito coverage.
- Alabama’s warm, humid climate makes regular pest control a wise investment for both homeowners and businesses.
What is quarterly pest control?
Quarterly pest control means your home gets pest protection treatment every three months, year-round. Regular visits help prevent pest problems before they start.
At Magic City Pest Control, our quarterly treatment includes:
- Inspection and treatment of your home’s perimeter
- Interior spot treatments (as needed)
- Monitoring and preventive treatments for common household pests like roaches, fleas, and bed bugs
- Advice on what you can do between visits to stay pest-free
If we find evidence of termites, we’ll recommend a termite inspection or termite treatment plan, which may include baiting systems.
Why is quarterly pest control important in Alabama?
The South’s warm, humid climate is a paradise for pests. Alabama homeowners commonly face pest issues in the form of ants, cockroaches, spiders, and mosquitoes. Termite control is a year-round need in Alabama because termites often seek cool, damp places during the late summer heat.
Some pest issues are hard to see or control. Homeowners often catch termite infestations too late. Additionally, DIY pest control treatments typically offer only temporary, surface-level relief or may even backfire.
Frequently skipping preventive treatments can lead to more significant pest problems and higher costs later.
Quarterly service keeps the bugs in check and your home protected.
What types of pests are covered?
We design our quarterly plans to handle the most common threats in Birmingham, Huntsville, and surrounding areas, including:
- Roaches (German, American, Smokey Brown, and more)
- Fleas and ticks
- Bed bugs
- Spiders
- Wasps
- Termites (when bundled in a plan)
- Rodents with optional monitoring
Add mosquito control to your quarterly service for even more protection.
What does quarterly pest control cost in Alabama?
Our pricing depends on the level of protection you want:
- Bronze Bundle: General residential pest control with rodent monitoring — $60/month after the initial service
- Silver Bundle: Pest control + termite coverage — $75/month
- Gold Bundle: Pest + mosquito control — $90/month
- Platinum Bundle: Full coverage with pest, termite, and mosquito services — $125/month
Each plan starts with an initial service ranging from $115 to $500, based on your location and needs. We tailor every plan using eco-friendly, effective treatments.
Is quarterly service better than a one-time treatment?
If you’re dealing with a sudden infestation, a one-time pest control treatment might seem like enough.
However, most pests reproduce quickly and can return if the environment is still welcoming. Routine visits help prevent pests from returning and eliminate the stress of recurring infestations.
Our quarterly pest control service creates a protective barrier that lasts about 90 days, stopping pests before they can become a problem and saving you stress and money.
How to tell if quarterly service is right for you
Here are a few signs it’s time to consider ongoing pest management:
- You’ve had recurring infestations
- Your property sits near trees, mulch, or standing water
- You’ve seen termites or want protection from them
- You’re tired of dealing with roaches, fleas, or bed bugs
- You just want your space to stay pest-free without the hassle
