Pest Control in Adel, Iowa

Adel's brick streets and 1902 Dallas County Courthouse sit right above the Raccoon River, and that combination — historic housing stock plus a river corridor — gives us two very different jobs here: old-foundation rodent and carpenter ant work downtown, and river-driven mosquito control on the edges.

Common Adel pest problems

Century-old homes around the square have limestone and brick foundations that mice and carpenter ants use freely; exclusion beats repeat baiting here.

Raccoon River and Raccoon River Valley Trail corridor keep mosquito and tick pressure up from May through September.

New subdivisions on the east and north sides get field mice and voles off adjacent farm ground each fall.

Downtown commercial buildings — restaurants and shops on the square — need scheduled rodent and small-fly service, often coordinated between adjoining units.

Cluster flies and box elder bugs on older two-story homes each October.
