Iowa's distinct seasons drive pest activity. Box elder bugs, for example, are often seen in the fall as they search for overwintering sites and again in the spring as they emerge. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify where these pests are congregating, typically on south-facing walls, and to pinpoint any potential entry points into your home. We then apply targeted treatments to these specific areas and the exterior of the structure.
