Pest control for Ashford properties

Many Ashford yards meet fields, pasture, tree lines, or open drainage areas. Tell us about outbuildings, stored equipment, animal feed, or stacked materials when you schedule. The technician can focus on the buildings and outdoor areas where you have seen activity.

Ashford is close to Dothan, with its own rural character. When requesting help, describe the property access, the building or area involved, and whether the concern is indoors or outdoors. If you have more than one structure, note which one shows signs. Also tell us which buildings are occupied so the technician can plan access to the house and outbuildings.

Pests to watch for in Ashford

Fire ants are a familiar yard concern across the Wiregrass. Mounds may appear in sunny lawn areas, along field edges, and near paths or equipment, with activity often most noticeable from spring through fall and after rain. Keep paths clear and mark mound locations from a safe distance, especially near play areas. Mosquitoes may be present during warm months, particularly where containers, gutters, or low ground hold water. Wasps can use protected eaves or sheds for nesting.

Rodents may be drawn toward buildings that offer feed, stored goods, shelter, or small gaps into an attic or garage. Activity can become more noticeable in cooler months, but rural structures can show signs at any time. Indoor roaches are another reason to inspect kitchens and storage areas. Identifying the pest and locating its likely route help distinguish outdoor activity from an issue inside the building.

How Pest-Ex serves Ashford

We ask about the property and the signs you have seen, then inspect the relevant structures, yard edges, storage areas, and entry points. For fire ants, we check the mounds and places people use. For rodents, we look for signs, access, and nearby food or shelter. On a large lot, tell us which paths, doorways, or storage areas you use most.

Ask about recurring service for seasonal pest checks. We set visit timing and covered areas for your property and service agreement. On a large rural parcel, tell us which structures and outdoor spaces matter most. At follow-up, we review what has changed and plan next steps. Weather and new access points can bring pest activity back.

Between professional visits

  • Keep feed, grain, pet food, and garbage in closed, sturdy storage where practical.
  • Move stacked materials away from doors and walls when safe and feasible.
  • After rain, empty water-holding containers and check gutters around buildings.
  • Mark active mound locations and keep children, pets, and equipment clear of them.

Steve was fantastic! He was so kind and courteous and explained everything very thoroughly. I own a business so it’s very important for me to shop locally and support our small businesses in the area. I’m very glad to have a peace of mind that our home is free of any pests!

Called a pest control company and they never responded. Called Pest-Ex and they sent a tech out the very next day. Steve was very professional and a joy to talk with. He sprayed the perimeter of the house and I started to see the effects immediately. He didn't try to upsell any services that I didn't need. Pest-Ex earned my trust! Their rates are fair and reasonable if not better than the national chains. With that being said, we signed up for the quarterly treatment option. I don't normally give 5 stars, but Pest-Ex really impressed me!!! Thank you Pest-Ex!
