Services
At Farmers Pest Control, we offer professional wolf spider control that addresses infestations with safe and effective solutions. Wolf spiders are active hunters and typically enter homes searching for prey or shelter, often hiding in dark, undisturbed areas. Though not dangerous to humans, their presence can be alarming and may indicate underlying pest issues. Our licensed technicians provide thorough inspections and targeted treatments tailored to your needs.
Cockroach Control
Report
Our Cockroach Control service effectively targets all common species, including American, Oriental, Brown-Banded, and the more invasive German Cockroach. German Cockroaches often enter homes through everyday items and multiply rapidly indoors. Our trained technicians apply advanced treatment strategies and provide expert advice on correcting environmental factors to keep your home protected long-term.

Hands down one of the best customer service experiences I have had, from start to finish. Ashley in the office got back to me straight away with all the information I needed, and got me booked in asap. Isaac attended my home, which I was not at during, and he called to give me a run down of the service and what all needed to be done - he noticed additional things that I had missed and was able to get them done for me in minutes. I let him know I had a little one, so he made sure to leave traps in places that my little one could NOT reach, and kept my family in mind for the entire treatment. Respectful, extremely knowledgeable, and I was able to pay online in seconds. A wonderful experience all around!

Greg was very engaging with questions involving any concerns I was currently having. Explained why I was seeing these issues and what he was going to do to resolve them. Very personably with a home town attitude. I know now that I made the right decision to use Farmers. Also being very supportive in the community lead me to give them an opportunity.

Terry did a great job during the termite inspection and treatment setup. He answered all my questions, wore booties over his work boots in the house and was efficient. Alan was responsive when I needed to change my time last minute due to a car problem and getting home later. Thanks for being great to work with.

A friend told me how impressed she was with Farmer's. I called them and the owner, Mr. Farmer, spoke with me and asked questions to determine the treatment that might be best. He made AC appointment promptly and Greg was the professional who showed up, right on time. He was exceptionally courteous and told me the initial steps he would take. At all times, he treated my home and belongings with care as he worked. The total experience was completely positive and the price for the treatment is certainly fair. I would highly recommend Farmer's Pest Control to everyone.

They are very professional and helpful. They actually want to help you keep the pests away, not just take your money. They have come out at least once between services to do an extra spray for no charge, and have used an additional poison when we commented on an increase in centipede activity. Terry is the best!

Isaac was on time, gave amazing professionalism, and the job he did was outstanding. He explained what he was going to do and also debriefed afterwards. He even asked if I had any questions which I admired. I want him to come to my home and do my services permanently from now on. You have and amazing employee that I have already recommended to others already to use for this service. I give him a A+

You couldn't ask for a better technician to come out. Super friendly and professional. We were using another service and they did not perform everything they promised us. Greg was more then thorough and did and excellent job. He by far exceeded the standards that the other company had promised us. Also dealing with Allen Farmer has been a great experience as well. He was quick to respond back to you and very helpful and friendly as well. I could not say enough good things about these guys. I would highly recommend them anytime and not use anyone else.

Yesterday Greg and Terry came to my house to handle our pest control and termite bond. I was very impressed with their professionalism and care for my home. They were personable and I could tell that this was more than a job for them, they truly care about caring for their customers. Great job guys! I am excited to continue doing business with Farmers and I hope to have Greg and Terry every time!

Greg & Alan need to be added to the superhero list! We were awaken to Mickey Mouse serving us a visit this morning. I googled pest control companies, sent a message at 6am, received a text FROM THE OWNER before opening hours that someone could come out TODAY! Same day service is unheard of!!! Better yet, they arrived before 8am, and Greg (the tech) saved the day within 15 minutes of being here! Within 2 hours our issue was resolved and it was affordable. The level of customer service was unlike any otherso much so that weve left our current pest control and have become customers of Farmers (to provide quarterly pest control). When you spend your hard earned money, you want to interact with amazing humans, excellent service, and affordable prices. Look no furtherFarmers Pest Control cant be beat!

Farmer Pest Control came out to take care of a Bald Faced hornets nest in our bush. He did a great job removing it and treated our bush afterward! We highly recommend this company. They were great at communication, understood the problem we had and came out in a timely manner. Alan spent time with us to explain what he would do and what to expect after treatment. He was patient as we asked questions.
Thank you Alan Farmer!

I sent pictures of spiders that we had been seeing. He confirmed each one and gave us a plan to get rid of them. Greg came out first thing the next morning. He put on shoe covers before entering. He gave us an explanation of what he would be doing and made sure to answer all of our questions. He was detailed and very professional. Would recommend Greg to anyone. I felt very comfortable having him in my house! Thankful for the quick response too!

Terry came out and took care of our pest control needs. He was very professional. He took the time to investigate and look for any issues due to termites as we were moving our termite bond to Farmers Pest Control and happy to report that nothing was found. Terry actually opened and inspected each termite base station, that were already installed by previous pest control company, around the perimeter of the house. We are very happy with Farmer's Pest Control and will use them for all future pest control needs.

My opinion of this company was nothing but professional and courteous from the beginning. Dealing with setting up my account to the guys coming out to do my service. Down to earth friendly and professional from the top down. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family. You cant make up what they bring to the table, it has to come from the heart which is what shows with this company!!

Alan Farmer is incredibly easy to deal with, helpful, and responsive. He takes great care in treating our house proactively to keep pests away, and he takes the time to ask questions to make sure he addresses all issues on each visit. Ive used a lot of pest control companies and I rate Farmers Pest Control superior.

It was late in the day when Greg arrived at my home and I will say at no time did I feel he was rushing to get to his next stop. He listened to issues without attempting to interject where my shortcomings were. He told me what the potential issue was and provided an in depth action plan with a list of things to expect. The reviews of this company led me to choose them and I feel like I made the right decision. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing pest and/or Rodent control.

Farmers is the absolute best! We have been impressed and our expectations far exceeded with their services. We have a termite bond and use them for pest control. Each time I call/text, they respond right away and provide recommendations or service. I cannot recommend them enough. Love knowing they are small and local but feeling like you are their only customer!

Serviceman "Greg" came by the house performed the exterior service while i was in in route to meet him at the house. He waited on me and very kind and professional. He had a great personality and thanked me choosing them as a service provider. He was honest with me about billing and services, and even gave good advice on handling my termite service when I was ready. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company if you live in Shelby Co.

We were having a problem with ants in our new home. After several DIY attempts, I contacted Farmers via the online option after business hours. They responded the next morning and had a technician at the house the same afternoon. With one treatment the ants are gone and I have peace of mind knowing they will be caring for our home in the future on a regular basis.

I had noticed a german cockroach in my kitchen and immediately looked online for pest control. I found Farmers and requested an estimate. I received a quick response and a good price. They were able to get someone out within hours. Greg showed up on time and was very professional. He clearly walked me through the process and how best to help rid the bugs. I felt much better after the initial treatment visit and would highly recommend them.

Alan Farmer and Farmers Pest and Termite have been my go-to company for all of my termite and pest control needs! He knows exactly what needs to be done and is a huge help with this portion of my business for real estate transactions. I highly recommend Farmers to other real estate agents as well as homeowners who simply need coverage for their home! Proud to support local and know I can always have confidence in their work!

I cannot recommend Alan and the team at Farmers Pest Control high enough. They provide fantastic service thats fits into our budget. Anytime we have questions or concerns they respond, come out to the house in a timely manner, and present a diagnosis and solution.
Alan is a Veteran of the Marine Corps and he continues to find ways to serve his community through sponsorships and charitable giving.

Alan has come to my house once and my sister's house once and instantly fixed our bug problems! We will use Farmers from now on. I can't recommend them enough! I was under the impression that it was going to take several visits for the bugs to go away, but we have no more pests after just 1 visit from Alan.

Greg Lancaster was our technician on our initial treatment. He showed up promptly on time, was professional, personable, and knowledgeable of all the potential places pests could be entering our home and the best ways to keep them out. We set up the regular quarterly treatments with Farmers as they have been responsive, reasonably priced, and offer to come back at no additional charge if pests continue to appear between quarterly treatments. Could not have found a better service and we are happy with our selection! Highly recommend this company to anyone in the area in need of pest control!

Alan did my home and was always great. He even offers a veteran discount. I also used him at my office. We had a mouse and all woman office didn't want to mess with it so he would come by and check trap until he caught it. No many people will do that without charging every time they came out. He's all about building relationships. I've just moved out of state or he would still be doing my house.

Alan and his team at Farmer's Pest Control are by far the most professional, timely, and hardworking team in the Greater Birmingham Area. You won't be disappointed in their products or their services. As a local Realtor, Alan and his team ensure inspections, treatments, and invoicing is done in a timely manner ensuring the final close and sale of properties. I would recommend Alan to ANYONE considering establishing a new relationship with a pest company. Always Call Alan!

I utilize Farmers Pest Control for both my termite bond and continual pest service. I am extremely satisfied with the level of service and professionalism shown by Alan and his team. I greatly appreciate the time they take to 1) listen for any concerns I may have and 2) offer and explain solutions to any problems. Coming from a big chain pest company prior, it was extremely important to me to find someone who listened to my concerns, and I found that with Farmers. And Ill also note that my wife has consistently stated that she doesnt believe there could be anyone nicer than the Farmers team.

I just started service with Farmers. Alan came out and was very professional and took care of the pest needs. He explained everything he was doing and what I should expect. I didnt have pest issues but started his services to prevent pest. Rodent service was also included in the tri-monthly price which with others it is extra. I would recommend Alan and Farmers Pest Control to others.

Farmer's is by far the most personable and quality pest control service I have ever worked with. Alan is so knowledgable and is truly dedicated to ensuring your needs are met and your family is safe. His attention to detail to your home treatment, as well as administering safe and effective pest control is unequivocally superb. From our first treatment as new customers, to our second year of being customers, we have received A+ Customer Service consistently. Thanks again Farmers!

Farmers Pest Control is the best quality pest control company for the cheapest price! I love that they take care of the pests without having to come into the home and spray (for most visits...they have never had to spray the inside of my home and we have centipedes, earwigs, and wolf spiders in my area). Farmers was highly recommended to me when I had an ant problem in the kitchen. Mr. Farmer, the business owner, was available right away, came and treated the ants in the kitchen AND the outside of my home for all pests right away. The service, friendliness, and professionalism of Mr. Farmer and all who work with him is amazing and the quality of the work they do is unmatched, especially for the price! Thank you for safely keeping my home pest free, Farmers!
