Pests the operators handle
The independent operators we route to are equipped for the common household pests of the central Gulf Coast — and for the paperwork that comes with buying a house here.
How the dispatch service works
From “what is that crawling on my wall” to a licensed operator on the phone — with total transparency about who does what.
You enter your ZIP
Tell us your ZIP and describe what you’re seeing — a swarm by the porch light, droppings in the pantry, mounds along the fence. The more specific you are, the better the match.
We route, not treat
Mobile Alabama Exterminators is a dispatch and referral service — not a pest control company. Your request is routed to an independent operator licensed by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries who serves your ZIP.
The operator inspects & quotes
The licensed operator — not us — performs the inspection, sets their own price, and does the treatment if you choose to hire them. No obligation, and you can verify their license with ADAI before any work begins.
Verify the license yourself — we encourage it
Every operator we route to holds a license from the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries (ADAI), the state agency that regulates professional pest control. Before work starts, ask the operator for their license number and confirm it with ADAI’s Pesticide Management Section in Montgomery at (334) 240-7240. A legitimate Gulf Coast operator will expect the question.
The Gulf Coast pest calendar
Mobile’s humidity, mild winters, and 65-plus inches of annual rain run a different pest schedule than the rest of Alabama. Here’s what tends to show up when — so you can describe it accurately when you reach out.
| Pest & season | What Mobile homeowners actually see |
|---|---|
| Termites · Feb–Jun swarms | Native Eastern subterranean termites swarm late winter into spring. Formosan termites — and Mobile has one of the heaviest Formosan concentrations in the continental U.S. — swarm on warm, humid May and June evenings, often around porch lights. Mud tubes on slab or pier foundations are the year-round tell. |
| Fire ants · Apr–Oct | Mound-building explodes after summer rains, especially in new-sod yards in West Mobile, Semmes, and across Baldwin County. Multiple queens per yard is normal here, which is why DIY mound treatments keep failing. |
| Roaches · year-round, peak summer | Smokybrown and American roaches (the “palmetto bugs”) fly in from oaks and pine straw on humid nights. German roaches are an indoor, kitchen-borne issue year-round — a different treatment entirely. |
| Rats & mice · Oct–Mar peak | Roof rats travel oak limbs and fence lines into attics when nights cool. Port-adjacent neighborhoods and older Midtown homes with big canopy trees see the heaviest pressure. |
| Spiders, silverfish & occasional invaders | Brown recluse turn up in closets, garages, and storage boxes. Silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and millipedes ride Mobile’s humidity indoors — usually a moisture story first and a pest story second. |
Pest pressure here doesn’t read the Birmingham playbook.
Formosan termite colonies that run to the millions, roof rats working the port and the live-oak canopy, palmetto bugs that fly in July — the central Gulf Coast is its own pest ecosystem. The operators this service routes to work Mobile and Baldwin County every day, and it shows in the questions they ask on the first visit.

Why homeowners use this service instead of cold-calling five companies
Straightforward, local, and honest about what we are — and what we aren’t.
Licensed operators only
We route exclusively to operators licensed by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries. The licensed operator — never us — performs every inspection and treatment, and we tell you to verify their license before work begins.
One request, not five voicemails
Instead of leaving messages around town while the swarm keeps coming, one request gets a real match to an operator covering your ZIP. Availability depends on the operator’s schedule, and they confirm timing with you directly.
Nothing to lose by reaching out
The service is free, the match is free, and there is no obligation to hire anyone. The operator gives their own quote — if it doesn’t sit right, get a second opinion. We never guarantee results, pricing, or appointment times, because those belong to the operator.
Frequently asked questions
The questions Mobile and Baldwin County homeowners actually ask.
Are you a licensed pest control company?
No. Mobile Alabama Exterminators is a free dispatch and referral service. We connect homeowners with independent, ADAI-licensed pest control operators who perform the actual inspections and treatments. We are not the treatment provider, and we encourage you to verify any operator’s license with ADAI before hiring.
What does using this service cost?
Nothing. The service is free and getting matched is free. The independent operator sets their own prices and gives you their own quote after inspecting — pricing varies by property, pest, and service, and it’s always between you and the operator.
What pests do the operators handle?
Common Gulf Coast household pests: ants and fire ants, spiders including brown recluse, roaches and palmetto bugs, house crickets, mice and rats, earwigs, silverfish, clothes moths, centipedes, millipedes, and termites — including Formosan subterranean termites and WDO / Section 1 letters for real-estate closings.
Do I need a Section 1 termite letter to close on a Mobile-area house?
Most lenders in Mobile and Baldwin County require a WDO (wood-destroying organism) report — commonly called a Section 1 letter — before closing. The licensed operator we connect you with can perform that inspection and issue the report.
When do termites swarm in Mobile, AL?
Native Eastern subterranean termites typically swarm late winter into spring. Formosan termites swarm on warm, humid evenings in May and June, often around lights. Drywood termites can swarm summer into early fall. If you see a swarm indoors, it’s worth getting an inspection promptly.
How fast can an operator come out?
It depends on the operator’s schedule and your location. The dispatch service is available 24/7, but appointment timing is set by the independent operator, and availability is not guaranteed. The operator confirms scheduling directly with you.
How do I verify an operator’s license?
Ask the operator for their ADAI license number — any legitimate Alabama pest control operator has one — and confirm it with the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Industries Pesticide Management Section at (334) 240-7240 in Montgomery. We recommend doing this before any work begins.
