Executive Pest Control has been serving Dothan and Houston County since 2006, and in that time we have handled just about every pest situation a home or business can face. We offer residential and commercial pest control across the area, with same-day pest control service available for customers who cannot wait. Whether you are dealing with a sudden infestation or looking to set up year-round protection, we are ready to help.
Experienced pest technicians. Safe treatments. Professional service.
Call (334) 824-4659 to get started.
Every home attracts its own mix of pests, and every business faces its own set of pressure points. We offer a full range of pest control services built around that reality: interior and exterior treatments, one-time visits for immediate problems, and recurring prevention plans designed to keep pests from coming back.
Our services cover the pests that matter most in this part of Alabama: ants, cockroaches, spiders, rodents, wasps and hornets, fleas, ticks, silverfish, and the occasional invaders that show up with the seasons. We use integrated pest management principles to address both the infestation and the conditions that allowed it to take hold. That means perimeter pest control, interior pest treatment, exterior barrier treatment, and attention to the entry points and harborage areas that keep pests cycling back.
We built this business here, and our name is on every treatment.
Our treatments are safe for kids and pets, so you do not have to uproot your family or board your animals to get the job done. Give us a call and we will get the pests handled.
Sometimes you have a specific problem and you need it resolved. Our one-time pest control visits are built for exactly that. A technician arrives, inspects the property to confirm what you are dealing with, applies a targeted treatment, and walks you through any follow-up steps. One-time pest removal service is a good fit for seasonal surges, a new infestation, or a property you are preparing to rent or sell. If you decide later that recurring service makes more sense, we can build a plan from there.
Recurring service is the most reliable way to stay ahead of pests in Houston County. On a quarterly or bi-monthly schedule, we return to your property for perimeter maintenance, exterior barrier renewal, and interior spot treatments as needed. Between visits, if something comes up, we come back. Our pest control maintenance plans also include attention to moisture and harborage conditions that attract pests in the first place, so we are addressing root causes, not just symptoms. Annual pest control coverage through a recurring plan keeps your home or business protected across every season.
When pests show up without warning, you should not have to wait a week for help. We offer prompt response, even for last-minute pest calls, and same-day service is available in most cases. If you are dealing with a wasp nest near an entrance, a rodent in the walls, or a cockroach problem that appeared overnight, call us and we will walk you through the plan.
Whether this is your first pest treatment or your tenth, the goal is the same: a home you feel comfortable in. We work with homeowners, renters, landlords, and property managers across Dothan and the surrounding communities. That includes single-family homes, apartments, condos, townhouses, and rental properties of all sizes.
Home pest control is not just about treating what you can see. We inspect entry points, check crawl spaces, and look at the areas along the foundation and around doors and windows where pests get in. Entry-point sealing and exclusion are part of our residential approach because treatment alone does not solve the problem if the access is still there.
Landlords and property managers can count on us to work around tenant schedules and document service visits for their records. Rental property pest control requires a different kind of coordination, and we handle that without making it complicated. Let us handle the treatment and the follow-up.
From a quiet suburb to a busy storefront, pests do not distinguish between residential and commercial properties. Restaurants, retail stores, offices, warehouses, and multi-family housing all face pest pressure, and the consequences of an untreated infestation are more serious in a business setting.
We work with property managers, business owners, and facility teams to build commercial pest control schedules that fit around your hours. Discretion matters in a customer-facing environment, and we treat your space accordingly. Restaurant pest control requires particular attention to food storage areas, drains, and the entry points around delivery doors. Pest control for multi-family housing calls for a coordinated approach across units and common areas.
We are flexible on scheduling and consistent on follow-through. One call, and a pest tech is on the way.
Houston County's warm, humid climate and long growing season create conditions that support a wide range of pest activity year-round. Some pests are a nuisance. Others cause real structural or health-related harm. Below are three that deserve particular attention in this part of Alabama.
Red imported fire ants are a persistent problem in yards, pastures, and around the foundations of homes and businesses throughout the Dothan area. Their mounds appear quickly, and a disturbed colony responds aggressively. Beyond the painful stings, fire ants can damage electrical equipment and invade structures when conditions push them indoors. We treat active mounds directly and apply broadcast bait applications across the property to reduce colony populations at a broader level. Perimeter control keeps them from re-establishing close to the structure. In the Alabama heat, fire ant pressure does not stop after a single treatment, so we factor recurrence into our prevention planning.
Formosan termites are one of the most destructive wood-destroying insects found in southern Alabama. Unlike native subterranean termites, Formosan colonies are larger and consume wood faster, which means structural damage can develop more quickly and with less visible warning. Early detection matters. We inspect for signs of activity, treat affected areas, and set up monitoring as part of ongoing service. If you have not had a termite inspection recently, now is the time to schedule one. Acting early is far less costly than addressing damage after the fact.
Palmetto bugs are American cockroaches, and they are common throughout this region. They move in through drains, gaps around pipes, crawl space vents, and any opening near the foundation. Once inside, they find harborage in wall voids, under appliances, and in damp utility areas. Our approach combines crack-and-crevice treatment at interior harborage sites, an exterior barrier treatment around the perimeter, and moisture reduction recommendations to make the environment less attractive. Cockroach extermination is most effective when you address both the interior pest treatment and the conditions drawing them in from outside.
You shouldn't have to chase a pest control company for answers, so we keep the process straightforward from the first call to the follow-up.
When a technician arrives, the visit begins with an inspection of the property. We look at the areas where pest activity is most likely: entry points, harborage zones, moisture sources, and the perimeter. From there, we apply the appropriate treatment for the pest type and property conditions. Before we leave, we walk you through what was done, what to expect over the next few days, and any steps you can take to support the treatment.
All work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who know this region and the pests that live here. If you have questions after the visit, we are reachable and we follow up. Call us and we will walk you through the plan.
Pest control pricing depends on the size of the property, the type of pest, and the frequency of service. A one-time treatment is priced differently than a quarterly prevention plan, and a commercial property has different needs than a single-family home. We do not publish flat rates because a number pulled off a website rarely reflects what your specific situation actually requires.
We find the source. We treat the problem. We prevent the return.
The best way to get an accurate pest control estimate is to call us directly. We will ask a few questions, give you a clear pest control quote, and schedule service at a time that works for you. Call (334) 824-4659 for a quote today.
We serve Dothan and the communities throughout Houston County and the surrounding region. Our service area includes Headland, Midland City, Ashford, Cottonwood, Webb, and Gordon, along with other towns nearby.
If you are just outside Dothan and are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call. Chances are good that we do, and we would rather answer that question directly than have you go without service.
It is normal to see some pest activity in the days immediately following a treatment. Products applied to harborage areas and along the perimeter take time to work through a population, and pests that were already active may continue to appear briefly before dying off. If activity continues beyond a week or so, give us a call and we will assess whether a follow-up is needed.
We use treatments that are safe for kids and pets, but we generally recommend keeping animals out of treated areas until surfaces have dried. That is usually a short window, and we will let you know the specifics when we arrive. If you have a pet with particular sensitivities, mention that when you call so we can plan accordingly.
A recurring plan works by maintaining a protective barrier around your property on a consistent schedule, rather than waiting for an infestation to develop. Each visit includes a perimeter treatment, an inspection for new activity, and interior spot treatment where needed. Addressing root causes like entry points and moisture conditions between visits keeps the pressure low across every season.
The exterior treatment covers the perimeter of the structure, including the foundation, entry points around doors and windows, gaps near utility penetrations, and the area along the base of the home where pests tend to travel and enter. We also inspect and treat around crawl space vents and other structural openings that provide pest access. The goal is to stop pests before they reach the interior.
We look at the interior and exterior of the property, focusing on entry points, moisture sources, harborage zones, and conditions in crawl spaces or attics that attract insects and rodents. The inspection informs the treatment rather than being a separate step. What we find during the inspection determines where we focus and what products we apply.
Common signs include droppings along walls or in cabinet corners, gnaw marks on food packaging or structural materials, scratching sounds inside walls or ceilings at night, and nesting material in attics or crawl spaces. Mice and roof rats are both active in this area, and either can enter through surprisingly small openings in the structure. If you are seeing any of these signs, call us and we will inspect and confirm what you are dealing with.
The most obvious sign is visible nest activity, including a paper or mud structure attached to eaves, soffits, fence posts, or shrubs, combined with consistent flying traffic in and out of a single point. You may also notice wasps entering gaps in siding or roof areas where a nest has been built inside a void. If you see repeated wasp activity around one location, do not disturb it. Call us and we will handle the removal safely.
Yes, flea and tick treatment is part of the pest control services we offer for residential properties in Dothan and the surrounding area. Treatment typically covers interior areas where pets spend time as well as exterior zones along the foundation and in the yard. We will walk you through any preparation steps before the visit to make the treatment as effective as possible.
Clearing clutter from areas where pests are active, pulling furniture slightly away from walls, and making sure the technician has access to the areas that need treatment all help the visit go smoothly. For kitchen treatments, remove items from under the sink and around appliances where we will be working. We will let you know if anything specific is needed based on the pest type and treatment plan.
Yes, we use products and application methods appropriate for kitchens and food-handling areas. We take care around food storage, prep surfaces, and appliances, and we will tell you what to move or cover before we begin. Work in food service or commercial kitchen environments follows the same careful approach.
Sealing gaps around pipes, vents, doors, and the foundation cuts off the access routes pests use to get inside. Treatment alone handles the population that is already present, but if the entry points remain open, new pests will follow the same paths in. Combining treatment with entry-point attention produces better long-term results than either approach on its own.
A mild, isolated infestation in a well-maintained home may resolve with a one-time treatment and a quarterly prevention plan. A more severe infestation, a property with significant harborage conditions, or a commercial building with high pest pressure may require more frequent visits initially. We assess the situation on the first visit and recommend a schedule based on what the property actually needs.
Yes, we document what was found during the inspection and what treatment was applied. For commercial accounts, we keep service records current for property managers and facility teams who need documentation. Residential customers can also request a summary of the visit if they want a record for their files.
Yes, we offer same-day pest control service in most cases, and we are known for prompt response even for last-minute pest calls. Call us at (334) 824-4659 as early in the day as possible if you need same-day help. We will let you know availability and get someone out as quickly as we can.

How often should a home in Houston County be treated for pests?
For most homes in this area, quarterly or bi-monthly service is the right fit. Houston County's warm, humid climate supports pest activity across every season, so a recurring prevention plan keeps a protective barrier in place year-round rather than reacting to each new infestation. We help you decide which schedule makes sense based on your property and the pests you are seeing.
Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use safe treatments for kids and pets on every residential job. We will let you know if there is any period where you should keep children or animals out of a treated area, and we walk you through that before we start. Most treatments require only a short drying time before the home is fully accessible again.
What is the difference between a one-time treatment and a recurring prevention plan?
A one-time treatment addresses a specific problem you are dealing with right now. A recurring prevention plan keeps a barrier in place so that the next infestation does not get a foothold. If your property has had repeated pest problems or you live in an area with heavy seasonal pressure, a prevention plan is usually the more reliable long-term approach.
Safe for Kids and Pets
Every residential treatment we perform uses products selected with the safety of children and pets in mind. We walk you through any precautions before we start so there are no surprises.
What pests are covered under a general pest control treatment?
A standard treatment covers the most common pests active in this part of Alabama, including ants, cockroaches, palmetto bugs, spiders, wasps and hornets, silverfish, and seasonal invaders. The specific treatment zones and products depend on what we find during the inspection. We look at the full property before we treat so the service matches your actual situation.
Will pests come back after a treatment?
Some reappearance is normal in the days immediately after a treatment, as pests that were already inside the structure move toward the treated areas. That activity typically drops off quickly. If you are on a recurring plan and pest activity returns between scheduled visits, we come back and retreat at no additional charge.
Do I need to leave my home during or after a treatment?
In most cases, you do not need to vacate the property for the full treatment. We will tell you if a specific application requires you to step outside for a short time while a product dries or settles. Before we start, we walk through what the visit involves so you know exactly what to expect.
Re-Treatment Between Scheduled Visits
If pest activity returns between your regularly scheduled visits on a recurring plan, we come back and treat again at no additional charge. That commitment is part of every prevention plan we offer.
How does an exterior barrier treatment work?
An exterior barrier treatment applies product around the perimeter of your home, including foundation edges, entry points, and areas where pests tend to travel or gain access. The barrier intercepts pests before they get inside and breaks down gradually over time, which is why recurring service keeps it effective. Interior treatment is added when there is already active pest activity inside the structure.
What are the warning signs of a cockroach or palmetto bug problem?
The most common signs are droppings that look like small dark specks or smears, a musty odor in cabinets or under appliances, egg casings in dark corners or behind furniture, and occasional sightings at night. Palmetto bugs and smokybrown cockroaches are both drawn to moisture, so areas under sinks, near drains, and in crawl spaces are worth checking. If you are seeing them during the day, the population is usually larger than what you are spotting.
Same-Day Service Available
Pest problems do not always wait for a convenient appointment, and we do not ask you to wait longer than necessary. Same-day pest control service is available for both residential and commercial customers in Dothan and the surrounding area.
What should I do about an active wasp or hornet nest on my property?
Do not disturb the nest before treatment. Wasps and hornets defend their colonies aggressively, and attempting to knock down or spray a nest without the right approach can make the situation more dangerous. Call us and we will assess the nest location, size, and species and treat it safely. Same-day pest control service is available for situations like this where waiting is not a reasonable option.
Is there a long-term contract required for recurring plans?
No. Our recurring prevention plans do not require a long-term contract. You get the benefit of scheduled service and re-treatment between visits without being locked into a multi-year agreement. If your situation changes, give us a call and we will work with you on next steps.
How does a technician decide on the right treatment plan?
We start with an inspection of the property to identify what pests are active, where they are concentrated, and what conditions are attracting them. Entry points, moisture sources, and exterior conditions all factor into the plan. From there, we match the treatment approach and service frequency to what we actually find rather than applying a one-size approach to every property.
Every property is different, and the best plan depends on what you are dealing with and how your home or building is set up. Give us a call and we will walk you through your options and put together a service plan that fits your situation.
