Heritage Pest Control

Harvest changes more than the view from the road.

As crops start coming out of the fields, mice and other rodents begin looking for new sources of food and shelter. Barns, machine sheds, livestock buildings and other farm structures can quickly become pretty inviting.

That's why fall is a good time to think about rodent control before you start seeing signs of a problem.

Exterior bait stations are one tool we use to help manage rodent pressure around agricultural buildings. Strategic placement and routine monitoring can help protect feed, equipment and the buildings you depend on.

We're farmers too, so we understand there's already plenty to think about this time of year. Rodents don't need to be one more thing on the list.

Harvest is here...and that means more than combines and choppers are on the move. 🌽

As crops come out and temperatures start to change, mice and other rodents begin looking for their next source of food and shelter. Grain bins, livestock buildings, machine sheds and other farm buildings can quickly become pretty inviting.

Now is a good time to make sure your rodent control plan is ready for the season ahead.

Heritage Pest Control offers farm pest control and rodent management designed for the way our local farms actually operate.

Would you know what you were looking at? 🦇

These small droppings are one of the clues that can point to bat activity around a home.

In these cases, storm damage had created an opening near the roofline, giving bats an opportunity to get inside. Finding the entry point AND looking for evidence of activity are both important parts of figuring out what's going on.

That's why an inspection matters. Sometimes the signs are pretty obvious. Other times, you have to know where to look.

Think you may have bats getting into your home or buildings? Give Heritage Pest Control a call.

Storm damage can create more than a repair problem. 🦇

This homeowner had damage near the roofline that created an opening, and bats found their way inside.

It doesn’t take a wide-open door. Small gaps around rooflines, soffits, vents and other exterior areas can be enough to give bats access to your home.

After storms or high winds, take a few minutes to walk around your house and look up. If something has shifted, pulled away or been damaged, it’s worth getting it checked before an unwanted guest finds it first.

Not sure what you're looking at? Heritage Pest Control can help.

This ground hornet had been busy digging right next to the house, leaving behind quite the pile of dirt.

Pest problems aren’t always happening inside your home. Sometimes you just have to know what to look for.

A little quiet on social this week...but definitely not a quiet week around here!

Between taking care of customers and spending some time at the Iowa State Fair, we've been keeping plenty busy.

That's one of our favorite things about building Heritage Pest Control right here at home. We're working in the same communities where we're raising our family, farming and doing all the things that make an Iowa summer an Iowa summer.

Now it's back to work protecting homes, farms and businesses from the pests that aren't quite as welcome. 😉

Need us? Give Brett a call at 712-210-1114 or visit heritagepestcontroliowa.com.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is, "I'll wait until I actually see something."

The truth is, by the time pests make it inside, they've often been there longer than you think.

Late summer is the perfect time to create a protective barrier before pests start looking for warm places to spend the fall.

From the outside, it's just another beautiful Iowa barn.

Inside, it's years of hard work, family memories, equipment, livestock, and everything that keeps a farm running.

We know these buildings mean a lot to the families who own them. That's why we're proud to help protect them from unwanted pests.
