Alabama Pest Control Market Overview
Alabama is Zone III/IV termite territory — one of the most active termite markets in the country. Formosan and subterranean termite pressure drives strong, recurring termite treatment and renewal business. Mobile, near the Gulf Coast, has some of the heaviest termite pressure nationally.

Licensing
Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries
Alabama requires a Structural Pest Control license issued to businesses, with a Certified Operator-in-Charge (COIC). The COIC designation transfers with the business if the buyer employs a qualified COIC. This makes license transfer more manageable than states requiring individual applicator licenses.
