Cockroach control in Silver Hills
German roaches live and breed indoors in kitchens and bathrooms, while the larger American roaches often come in from outside through crawl spaces, drains and gaps around pipes. Sealing those gaps, fixing drips and using gel baits in cracks near food and water keep both in check. See cockroach control.
Spider control in garages and storage
Alabama Extension notes brown recluses hide in boxes, closets, shoes and stored clothing, and suggests lidded plastic bins instead of cardboard and shaking out shoes and gloves before use. Black widows favor undisturbed spots like stacked blocks and water meter boxes. A tidy garage cuts down on both.
Termite control: make the annual inspection count
Alabama Extension recommends a thorough termite inspection at least once a year and suggests asking for the inspection report and map to keep on file. Between inspections, check for the signs it lists: mud tubes on the foundation, swarmers or shed wings from about late February through June, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped. Fix leaks and drainage problems quickly, since moisture is the key factor in termite risk. See termite control.
