Over the past 30 years, I’ve seen just about every pest problem imaginable — from the occasional ant trail across a kitchen counter to full-blown infestations in homes and businesses. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: DIY pest control rarely solves the problem.
When people call us at Janssen Pest Solutions, it’s often after they’ve tried to handle things themselves. They’ve sprayed the over-the-counter products, set the traps, or even spread bait stations around the property. But when the pests keep coming back, that’s when they realize they need a professional — someone who doesn’t just treat the symptom but finds the source.
Take one of our long-time customers in Urbandale, Iowa, for example. They had a serious mouse problem. They tried it all — poisons (which weren’t safe for their pets), bait, traps, you name it. Nothing worked. The mice kept returning, and the frustration kept building. Then they called Janssen.
Our team came out, inspected the home, and found where the mice were getting in — something no amount of store-bought bait could have fixed. We sealed up the entry points, implemented a customized treatment plan, and set them up with our Green Guard Service, which focuses on safe, sustainable pest control.
That was 12 years ago, and they haven’t seen a single mouse since.
At Janssen, we don’t just treat pests — we solve problems at the root. Whether it’s rodents, insects, or any other unwanted guests, our goal is to make sure you can live pest-free year after year. DIY might seem cheaper or easier in the moment, but nothing compares to having an experienced professional on your side.
If you’re tired of fighting the same battle over and over, give us a call. We’ve been protecting Iowa homes and businesses for more than three decades — and we’d love to help protect yours.
