We’re excited to launch our new blog, “News from Athena,” where we’ll be sharing everything happening in our community and providing you with insider tips from our experienced pest control professionals. As your trusted local pest control company serving the Over the Mountain Community and Birmingham Metro Area, we believe in keeping our neighbors informed and protected.

What You Can Expect from News from Athena

Our blog will be your go-to resource for staying connected with what’s happening right here in our community. We’ll share stories about our involvement in local events, highlight the amazing neighborhoods we serve, and showcase the relationships we’ve built with families and businesses throughout Mountain Brook, Crestline, Crestwood, Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Hoover, Oak Mountain, and Indian Springs.

But that’s not all – we’re also committed to sharing the knowledge our team has gained from years of protecting homes and businesses across the Birmingham Metro Area. Our experienced and professionally trained technicians encounter unique pest challenges every day, and we want to pass along their expertise to help you stay one step ahead of unwanted visitors.

Professional Tips and Tricks Coming Your Way

Every month, we’ll share practical advice that you can implement right away. From seasonal pest prevention strategies to early warning signs that indicate you might have a problem brewing, our goal is to help you protect your property before issues become expensive headaches.

Our team regularly deals with a wide variety of pests that call Alabama home, including:

  • Ants (fire ants, carpenter ants, and Argentine ants)
  • Termites (subterranean and drywood varieties)
  • Cockroaches
  • Spiders (including black widows and brown recluses)
  • Mosquitoes
  • Fleas and ticks
  • Wasps and yellow jackets
  • Rodents (mice and rats)
  • Pantry pests

Each of these pests requires different approaches and prevention methods, and we’ll be diving deep into strategies for keeping them away from your family and employees.

Community Focus

Living and working in the Over the Mountain area means we understand the unique challenges that come with our beautiful, wooded neighborhoods. The mature trees and lush landscaping that make our communities so desirable also create perfect habitats for various pests. We’ll share location-specific advice that takes into account our local environment, weather patterns, and the types of homes and businesses common in Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, and surrounding areas.

We’re not just your pest control company – we’re your neighbors. Many of our team members live in the same communities we serve, and we’re invested in keeping our shared neighborhoods safe and pest-free.
