ADF test has little to do with seasonality. At best it can tell you whether there is a unit root. Differencing is one of the ways to treat unit roots and mean nonstationarity. It is not a go to tool for seasonality

Depending what kind of seasonality you have simple tools such as Holt_winters filter or Census Bureau's X-13 can be used
