Why Choose Cothren’s Pest Control in Huntsville and Madison, AL?
Choosing a pest control company means trusting someone to care for your home, explain your options, and follow through when you need help. Price matters, but so do experience, communication, and knowing what happens if a pest problem returns.
Cothren’s Pest Control is a small, local company serving Huntsville, Madison, and surrounding North Alabama communities. We offer a wide range of pest control services, customize treatment plans to fit your needs, and never require a long-term agreement.
Our goal is simple: earn your continued business through dependable service and personal attention.
Local Pest Control Experience Since 2009
Cothren’s owner, Heath Cothren, has worked in pest control in North Alabama since 2009 and remains actively involved in the company.
Heath holds multiple licenses through the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries and has studied entomology—the study of insects—at Purdue University. His interest in pest control goes beyond treating the pests customers can see. He cares about understanding their behavior, identifying what contributes to a problem, and choosing an appropriate approach.
That experience helps guide our work with homeowners and businesses throughout the Huntsville and Madison area.
Pest Control Customized to Your Needs
Every property is different. The pests affecting one home may be completely different from those troubling a neighboring business.
Cothren’s offers services covering a wide range of pests, including general household pest control, rodent services, mosquito control, and termite control. We can help you understand your options and customize a service to fit your property and concerns.
When comparing pest control companies, ask which pests are included in the proposed plan and which require a separate service. We believe those details should be discussed clearly so you know what to expect.

Cothren’s Pest Control does not require long-term agreements. We hope you continue choosing us because you value the service, trust our team, and know we are available to help.
For homeowners comparing exterminators in Huntsville or Madison, that flexibility is an important part of choosing a company that fits their needs.
Ongoing Pest Control Starting at $32 Per Month

| Pest control plan | Starting monthly price | Scheduled visits |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly pest plan | $32 per month | Every three months |
| Premium pest plan | $48 per month | Every two months |
The monthly price and service frequency are different: quarterly service includes scheduled visits every three months, while our premium plan includes scheduled visits every other month.
We will explain the recommended service, covered pests, and pricing for your property before you choose a plan.
Free Callbacks for Certain Pest Emergencies
A pest problem does not always wait until your next scheduled appointment.
Our quarterly and premium every-other-month pest plans include free callbacks for certain covered pest emergencies. If a problem comes up between visits, contact us so we can discuss what you are seeing and determine whether it qualifies under your plan.
Callback coverage depends on the pest and situation. We are happy to explain what is included so you can make an informed decision about ongoing pest protection.
Simple Communication With a Real Person
When you have a pest concern, you want to speak with someone who can listen and help.
Cothren’s believes in keeping communication simple, including giving customers a way to speak with a real person even when the office is closed. We want you to know who to contact, understand the next step, and feel comfortable asking questions about your service.
After-hours contact does not necessarily mean an immediate treatment visit, but it gives you a way to discuss your concern and get guidance on what happens next.

Our owner is actively involved, and our team works together to assess customer concerns and coordinate appropriate service. Whether you are asking about a recurring household pest problem or exploring a different treatment option, we want to make the process straightforward.
