If you are in North Alabama, then you are most likely in the Ecopest service area.

No two homes are the same. We know that no two extermination service or pest control plan should be the same. There is no such thing as “cookie cutter” or “one size fits all” pest control. Pest problems in every home are different. Every home has its own unique factors for pest problems. The age of the home, the condition of the home, the presence of empty voids or hollow spaces in the home, and the number of pest points of entry will differ. Pest love excessive moisture or unsanitary conditions, and your pest control needs should suit your individual needs. Our goal is to provide peace of mind and remove the pests that bug you in a way that is safer for families, pets, and the environment.

Ecopest is locally owned and operated. We operate under Integrated Pest Management, IPM, principals and practices. These practices allow for flexibility in the services we offer. Only Ecopest can provide you the best service in North Alabama for the best value. Ecopest customers are more than just a number in a revenue book or a name on a check list to get done each month. We treat your home and family like extensions of our own.

Getting rid of bed bugs and bed bug removal is perhaps one of the greatest challenges facing homeowners, rental properties, hotels, & the pest control industry today. Chemical resistance is on the rise in bed bug populations. The cost of treating bed bugs professionally is often higher than most people expect when they call, largely due to them not knowing that bed bug jobs are among the most labor intensive jobs that we do in the pest control industry. Also due to rapid reproduction and relative ease of reintroduction along with high instances of resistance, there is not a company that will or can guarantee total elimination.

One thing to keep in mind before we dive into the process for bed bugs treatment, bed bugs are highly adaptive. They quickly become immune to products that have been used on them, especially if used incorrectly. That being said bed bugs, for the most part, are now immune to most of the products sold over the counter to treat them. Best case scenario treating bed bugs yourself will result in scattering the bed bugs throughout a residence making a relatively small and treatable situation into a much larger and complex job.

Before we begin our bed bug inspection or treatment it is imperative that proper protective equipment is utilized. The equipment we use varies based on the product we are using to treat your bed bug infestation. The minimums are usually a Tyvek suit and gloves. Certain products may require a respirator due to the potential for drift.

Chemical Treatment Process

Ecopest uses a proprietary system to control bed bugs, including birth control for bed bugs. This helps us to drastically reduce the population within a matter of weeks. The chemical process for bed bugs treatment is very similar to the inspection. We apply a bed bug insecticide that is labeled for use on a mattress to the folds of the mattress. It is important for health and safety reasons not to apply that pesticide to the body of the mattress where you will be lying on or having bodily contact, even with a sheet between. We treat only the folds of the top mattress. (It is also highly recommended that you buy and put on a bed bug mattress cover for both mattress and box spring or base set.)

Other Areas We Focus On During Bed Bugs Treatment

We treat the box springs — every fold, seam, and wood junction. We treat the frames of the bed being careful to treat all cracks and crevices. We treat any furniture that is in the room with the same level of detail as the inspection. We treat dressers, nightstands, end tables, etc. We treat the baseboards and the carpet tack. We treat chair rails or crown molding. We also go as far as to remove electrical covers and dust wall voids with an insecticide dust labeled for use on bedbugs. Bed bugs have been known to use the electrical wiring to move between rooms.

We realize that the cost of replacing furniture and the risk of losing family heirlooms rich with history is often the most expensive part of any bed bug job. Often times we have been able to keep clients from having to get rid of furniture while still getting control of these troublesome bed bugs.

Using Heat As A Bed Bugs Treatment Method

Extreme heat has also been proven to be very effective at treating and exterminating bed bugs. When it comes to bedding materials or clothing that has been exposed to bed bugs, the dryer is your friend. Bed bugs do not live long at sustained high temperatures. This being said heat treating for bed bugs in a structure is an option although very, very expensive. Heat treatment cost upwards of $1,500 per room or more depending on the company.

In extreme cases, removal of furniture may be the best option for getting rapid control of a bed bug infestation. Be sure to have the room or residence treated before or at the time you bring in new furniture. A pair of $50.00 bed bug mattress covers is a lot cheaper than an $800+ mattress. Always have a bed bug mattress cover. Bed bugs hatch on 14-day cycles like fleas so the process of treatment needs to be repeated at least two more times on that cycle, to ensure extermination.

EcoPest: North Alabama Residential & Commercial Weed Control & Fertilization

Your lawn is one of the most important elements of the overall appearance of your home. Our weed control and fertilization program is designed to consistently provide your lawn with the nutrients necessary to sustain a healthy lawn.

Weed Control

If you want your yard to look great you’re going to need to control the weeds that just naturally try and take over. Weeds tend to thrive at the expense of the more desirable grass, flowers, or shrubs. They provide competition for space, nutrients, water and light. As local experts, we know full well the effects the Northern Alabama climate can have on your yard and that if you allow weeds to take over they will starve out your grass and restrict your lawns growth.

Fertilization

The purpose of lawn fertilization is to provide nutrients to encourage healthy active turf growth. Fertilizer should be applied according to a lawn fertilization schedule: too little fertilizer results in thin, sometimes yellowing turf that has a higher susceptibility to disease such as, red thread and rust; too much fertilizer also contributes to turf problems.

Our Technicians

All of our technicans are trained in the proper use and application of our organic weed control and fertilization products. They are familiar with the types of grass that are native to this area and their specific needs to help ward off problems and treat existing issues. Our weed control and fertiliation program uses specialty products developed for professional lawn care providers.

Benefits of Fertilization & Weed Control
