Donalsonville sits about thirty miles east of our Dothan base, just across the state line, and we have served Seminole County from there for years. As the "Gateway to Lake Seminole," Donalsonville deals with water, agriculture, and an older town center all at once, and each one drives a particular kind of pest pressure. Tabor has worked this corner of the Wiregrass since 1958.
Lake Seminole is the defining feature here: a 37,500-acre reservoir formed where the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers meet, created in 1957 behind the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam. What is worth knowing for pest control is what the lake was built on. Much of that basin was swampland before it was flooded, and the area still carries the high water table and humidity that come with it.
That means two things for homes near the water. First, mosquitoes: standing water, shoreline, and humidity give Donalsonville one of the longer and heavier mosquito seasons in the region, and lakefront and low-lying properties feel it most. Second, moisture-loving pests, the roaches, ants, and wood-destroying organisms that thrive where crawlspaces and foundations stay damp. Waterfront and near-lake homes benefit from a plan that treats the moisture conditions, not just the bug you saw last week.
Between the lake, the farmland, and the older town center, Donalsonville sees a particular mix. We build the treatment around your actual conditions.
The lake, its shoreline, and the high water table make for a long, heavy mosquito season, especially on lakefront and low-lying properties. The CDC ties them to West Nile virus.
The historic core has a lot of older building stock, and Georgia's climate keeps subterranean termite pressure high year-round. Damage happens out of sight.
Damp crawlspaces and foundations near the water draw roaches, ants, and other moisture-loving pests indoors.
When the peanut, corn, and cotton fields are harvested, mice and rats move toward the nearest structure. We seal entry points, not just set traps.
A constant across Seminole County: in lawns, along driveways, and around foundations.
Most are harmless, but reducing the insects they feed on is the best way to keep them out. Black widows and brown recluses warrant care.
Seminole County is serious farm country, one of Georgia's top peanut-producing counties, with cotton and corn filling out the rotation. That farmland sets the pest year. The pattern we plan around is rodents: when the fields are harvested in the fall, the mice and rats that lived in them lose cover and food in a matter of days and move toward the nearest structure. Getting exterior rodent control in place before harvest beats fighting an infestation in the attic after.
Downtown Donalsonville is anchored by the Seminole County Courthouse, a Beaux-Arts building from 1922, and the older homes and storefronts around the square share that age. Older construction gives subterranean termites more ways in than newer builds. For owners of older property, a real termite inspection and ongoing protection pay for themselves, because the damage is quiet and out of sight.

Tabor has been my Pest Control company for almost 10 years, and I highly recommend them. My daughter and son-in-law bought a house, and I told them to use Tabor. My other daughter is looking to buy and I will recommend she use them as well!
I had my first meeting with Scott Brandon to discuss the programs available and what I was looking for. I'm new to the area and not familiar with the type of issues you generally find in the south. He was very informative, thorough and very pleasant. I have signed up with Tabor and look forward to doing business with them.
Yes. We are based in Dothan, about thirty miles west, and we serve Seminole County, Georgia from there. Ask us about your address when you call.
The lake, its shoreline, and the area's naturally high water table create a lot of standing water and humidity, which is ideal mosquito habitat. Properties near the water usually need a longer season of treatment than inland homes.
In most cases, yes. The historic core has a lot of older building stock, and combined with Georgia's year-round termite pressure, ongoing protection is cheaper than repairing hidden damage.
It depends on the pest, the property, and whether it is one-time or ongoing service. Call and describe what you are dealing with and we will give you a real quote.
