A short history of Leon

Leon was founded in 1853 as the seat of Decatur County, originally named Independence before adopting Leon in 1858.

The county's heavy timber and rolling pasture kept it in livestock rather than row crop, and nearby Nine Eagles State Park and Slip Bluff County Park preserve some of the largest tracts of native hardwood forest in southern Iowa.

Why Leon homeowners choose Pest Control Techs

"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."
