Your house should belong to your family, not to ants, mice or mosquitoes. Residential pest control from Pest Patrol, LLC is built for Cedar Valley homes, including basements that stay damp, garages that share a wall with the kitchen, yards that hold water after a summer storm and older houses with plenty of gaps for pests to use.

We are locally owned by people who grew up in this area and still live here. We have worked pest jobs and we have managed property. That combination shows up in how we talk to homeowners: we explain what we see, what we will treat and what you can do between visits, with no sales script involved

Common residential calls in Cedar Falls, Waterloo and nearby towns include pavement ants and carpenter ants in spring, mosquitoes and ticks through the warm months and wasps and hornets on eaves and playsets. Spiders show up in basements and window wells, mice move inside when nights cool off, and we see the occasional cockroach, flea or bed bug problem. Termites and wildlife are less frequent than ants and rodents, but they are the jobs you do not want to postpone.

How a typical home visit works

We start with the complaint and a walk-through. Interior trails, droppings, nests, moisture and exterior harborage all tell a story. Treatment follows the pest. Some problems respond to a targeted indoor application. Others need exterior work, baiting, exclusion or a short series of visits. We will tell you if a one-time trip is enough or if a seasonal plan will save you from calling us every month.

If you have kids, pets or someone in the home who is sensitive to products, say so when you book. We choose methods that fit the house you actually live in. You will get simple prep instructions when they matter. Moving furniture for a flea job is different from leaving the kitchen alone for an ant treatment.
