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.

Serving all of Southeast Iowa for over 50 years, Coppes Pest Control, is a locally owned and operated pest control business that services both residential and commercial properties. We specialize in the use of Sentricon baiting systems, which eliminates the use of chemical, and/or liquid applicators. Complete termite and ant pest control, we also control and eliminate: Roaches Fleas Water Bugs Wasps and Hornets Rodents Don't let pests ruin the value of your home. Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year. They primarily feed on wood, but also damage paper, books, insulation, and even swimming pool liners and filtration systems. Termites can injure living trees and shrubs, but more often are a secondary invader of woody plants already in decline. While buildings may become infested at any time, termites are of particular importance when buying or selling a home since a termite inspection/infestation report is normally a condition of sale. Besides the monetary impact, thousands of winged termites emerging inside one's home is an emotionally trying experience not to mention the thought of termites silently feasting on one's largest investment. Call today and ask for a free home inspection to see if termites, or any other pests are affecting your home.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering whether scorpions can come in through your air vents , the answer is yes, unfortunately, they can. These pests are excellent climbers and can scale your home’s exterior, squeezing through gaps as small as 1/16 inch . Scorpions are often attracted to the moisture around air conditioning ducts and may slip through small openings where the duct meets the vent cover. Once inside your walls, they can emerge through any accessible gap, including your AC vents, especially if the system isn’t well-sealed.

Homemade raccoon repellents can be a cost-effective and humane method for keeping raccoons off your property. Raccoons despise the smell of vinegar, so keeping a bowl of it near your home can keep them away. Some wildlife companies advise using cayenne pepper or hot sauce sprinkled near your deck or porch as another homemade option.

Droppings from cockroaches, squirrels, mice, bats, and birds can resemble rat poop, making it easy to confuse one for another. Mouse droppings are smaller and more pointed, cockroach droppings resemble tiny black specks or ground pepper, and bat guano can look similar but usually crumbles into powder. Bird droppings sometimes have a similar shape, but often include white uric acid deposits. If in doubt, it’s best to consult a pest control professional for proper identification and removal.

No, skunks are not considered aggressive and are typically very gentle, mild-mannered creatures. However, when they’re provoked, they do emit their potent spray as a defense mechanism. Skunks are also useful creatures to have near your property since they eat insects and will likely leave you and your pets alone unless they’re startled.

Whether you should get rid of paper wasps depends on a few factors. If you are dealing with a large population and have household members or pets that are being stung frequently, it’s best to get rid of these wasps. But they aren’t all bad. Paper wasps feed on common garden pests, like caterpillars and beetle larva, that can harm your plants.
