A short history of Carlisle
Carlisle was platted in 1852 and grew as a coal-mining and farming town where the North River joins the Des Moines. Several mines operated in the surrounding hills into the early 20th century.
Today it's a commuter town of roughly 4,300 anchored by its historic square, with the Summerset Trail running north toward Indianola along the old rail grade.

Carpenter ants in older homes near the square with mature trees and wood porches.
Cluster flies and box elder bugs on sun-facing walls of acreage homes each October.

"Booked at 9am, sprayed by 2pm. The ant trail in our kitchen was gone the next day. Polite, professional, and you can tell they actually care."
Megan · Ankeny
"Local folks, veterans, and they shoot straight. Showed up the same day and handled the problem in 20 minutes."
Dale · Albia
"Mice in the basement after the river came up. They didn't just trap them — they sealed every entry point. Haven't seen one since."
Carla · Ottumwa
"Switched from a national company. Faster, more responsive, and no pressure to sign a contract. Easy 5 stars."
