Troy is two towns in one when it comes to pests: the year-round homes and families across Pike County, and the constant churn of a university town where thousands of students cycle through rental housing every year. Add a major defense-manufacturing employer on the edge of town and Troy's pest needs look different from anywhere else we serve. Tabor has handled the Wiregrass since 1958, family-owned out of Dothan.
Troy University drives a housing pattern that quietly fuels pest problems: high-turnover rentals. Every semester, units empty and fill, belongings move in and out, and that movement is exactly how two of the hardest pests to control spread.
Bed bugs travel between units in mattresses, couches, and boxes during move-in and move-out, and a single infested unit in a complex can become several. German roaches do the same through shared walls and secondhand furniture. For a landlord or property manager, the cost is not just one treatment; it is turnover, reviews, and units you cannot lease. We work with Troy rental owners on the schedule that actually solves this: treating between tenants, handling whole buildings rather than chasing one unit at a time, and getting ahead of the semester cycle.
In and around Troy, the residential calls cluster around a familiar set. We build the treatment around which one is actually your problem.
German roaches that ride in on the rental cycle, plus the large outdoor roaches that come in from mulch and crawlspaces during summer.
Concentrated in Troy's student rental housing but never limited to it. Complete elimination with discreet, monitored treatment.
A long Pike County season, with plenty of yards near creeks, ponds, and wood lines. The CDC ties them to West Nile virus.
A year-round Alabama constant, in lawns and around foundations. Mounds can appear seemingly overnight.
Especially as Pike County's surrounding farmland is harvested and mice look for somewhere warmer. We seal entry points, not just set traps.
Troy sits in the same high-pressure termite belt as the rest of southeast Alabama, and subterranean termites do their damage out of sight.
Troy is also a manufacturing town. Lockheed Martin's Pike County operation has grown since 1994 into a facility employing more than 800 people, building and supporting missile systems like THAAD, Javelin, and HELLFIRE. A site like that, along with Troy's downtown businesses, restaurants, and the university's own facilities, has commercial pest needs where documentation and reliability are the whole point.
Commercial work is a core part of what we do. We handle scheduled service, the records inspectors and facility managers need, and treatment that works around how a business operates. If you manage a Troy facility, we can build the plan around your requirements.

Don’t see your area? Call 877-448-2267. We probably serve your community.
Yes, and it is one of the most common things we do here. We treat between tenants, handle multi-unit buildings, and work around the semester cycle so an infestation in one unit does not spread through a building.
It depends on the pest, the property, and whether it is one-time or ongoing. Call and tell us what you are seeing and we will give you a real quote for your situation.
Yes. We service commercial and facility accounts with scheduled visits and the documentation inspectors and facility managers expect.
Most homeowners start in spring and run through fall, with extra attention after heavy rains leave standing water in the yard.
