Limestone County, Alabama
Athens and Limestone County, where new construction keeps pushing out into what was recently farmland.
Free inspection · No obligation · Same team every visit
Limestone County has been one of the fastest-growing counties in Alabama, and the subdivisions going up around Athens sit on ground that was open field a few years ago. The pests that lived on that land do not leave when the houses arrive — they just find better shelter. There is also a steady rental population around Athens State University, where turnover between tenants is when problems tend to surface.
Better Way Pest Control is a family owned business that has been built one customer at a time with honesty and integrity. We reach Limestone County and the rest of North Alabama — Morgan, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison — from our office in Hartselle, and every service starts with a free inspection.
The problems we get called for here most often, and how we handle each one.
The cheapest termite work you will ever buy is the system you install on a house that does not have termites yet. On new construction around Athens we put the baiting system in early and inspect the stations quarterly, which costs a fraction of repairing damage found during a future sale.
More on Termite Control in AthensWhen a development goes in on former farmland, the ants, spiders, and field mice that were already there move into the nearest structure. New homes get more pest pressure than owners expect in the first few years, and a year-round plan through that period is what settles it down.

I called yesterday afternoon and spoke with Trent about a pest problem I am having and he came out today and took care of it. He was very professional and knowledgeable. You can't beat their pricing. Thank you Trent!

Yes, and it is the best value in this business. Preventative protection on a new build costs a fraction of treating an active infestation and repairing the damage, and Limestone County has plenty of new construction on ground that was field.
