Pest Control in Pleasant Hill, Iowa

Pleasant Hill is wrapped in timber and water — Four Mile Creek, Copper Creek Lake, and the Yellow Banks bluffs along the Des Moines River. Wooded, water-adjacent property is the defining pest condition here: mosquitoes and ticks in summer, spiders and rodents pushing in from the tree line in fall.

A short history of Pleasant Hill

Pleasant Hill grew from a rural crossroads and incorporated in 1956, staying small until the metro pushed east in the 1990s.

The city now surrounds Copper Creek Lake Park and abuts Yellow Banks Park, a 900-acre county park on the Des Moines River bluffs known for its prairie restoration and Woodland-period archaeological sites.

"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."
