Pest pressure in Alabama
Alabama's climate is humid subtropical, warm to hot most of the year. Alabama sees heavy termite and ant pressure spring through fall, with rodent activity spiking late October into winter. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure AL homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in Alabama look different than they do in colder northern states.
