"Diam Pest Control will be the only pest control company I will use. James arrived right on time and immediately began to assess the problem. We were originally quoted for a higher price but once he looked at the problem he made an honest call that saved us money. He was very professional (wore shoe covers), kind, and very knowledgeable. I can't say enough about this company! Don't think twice, give them a call."

We are a small veteran-owned pest control startup based in Altoona, Iowa. I started this business to provide affordable pest control to my clients. We are a family-focused company and will maintain that as we grow.

"I asked home advisor for referrals for removing an animal from the wall of my house. Cory at Okoboji Pest Control was the first to call me and, although he doesnâ t normally perform that service, he gave me advice on completing the job myself and saved me quite a bit of money. He even called back the next day to make sure my job was completed. Absolutely exceptional customer service from Cory. It took most places 24 hours to even return my call for a service request. I would definitely use this company in the future.!"

"We called Hawkeye Exterminators to help with a maggot infestation resulting from a dead animal on the roof of our home. The animal had been removed for a few days but the problem persisted, which is quite usettling and gross! Before I searched Angie's List for Pest Control I had contacted a chain company for animal control but did not think I was on the right track. Mr. Rhinehart answered my initial call directly and scheduled me the same day. He surveyed the roof area involved and identified the source of our ongoing concern, cleaning away and spraying accordingly. After the more acute problem was addressed, at our request he made a more routine application to the exterior of our home for spiders. We appreciate the professional, courteous and timely service - we will depend on this company for future needs.

Pest Control FAQs, answered by experts

To keep animals out, you must prevent them from entering. As long as they can get in, the problem will persist. That said, consider making your attic less inviting using deterrents like motion-activated lights or ultrasonic devices. Additionally, keeping a well-maintained, clean, and uncluttered attic that you regularly inspect for activity may make the space less attractive to critters.

In addition to a clean home, fleas dislike oils made from plants that are naturally bug-resistant or poisonous to bugs. That includes myrtle, mint, eucalyptus, and especially cedar oil. Common household remedies like baking soda, garlic and apple vinegar don’t have any effect on fleas. Don’t spray essential oils directly on your own skin or your pets (and their bedding, because it can be a skin irritant. Stay away from tea tree oil. In pure form it can be very toxic to pets. Always ask your vet if you have any questions.

Look for consistent buzzing sounds, visible hives, or increased bee activity around your property.

Chemical treatments, bait systems, and physical barriers are common approaches.

This depends on if their needs are being met. They'll likely return night after night if they have access to food, water, and adequate shelter. If this changes, they’ll look for another roosting spot. This is why bright lights and other dissuading factors often work when removing bats from a property.
