A wasp nest discovered right by the front door, or a sudden swarm of ants after a storm, doesn't wait for a scheduled appointment — our emergency dispatch prioritizes calls where the risk is immediate. Storms and sudden temperature swings in Ames often trigger a spike in urgent calls, from displaced rodents seeking shelter to disturbed stinging-insect nests.
Not sure if it's urgent? Call anyway; we'll help you determine whether same-hour dispatch is needed.


Our emergency dispatch line is staffed around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Urgent doesn't mean unlicensed — our emergency crew meets the same certification standard for every call.
Emergency dispatch pricing is quoted clearly before treatment starts, even for after-hours and weekend calls.
Our rapid-response units are stocked broadly, so a technician doesn't need to return to base mid-emergency.
We remove nests directly rather than just spraying from a distance, which fully eliminates the colony instead of just angering it.
We respond fast to sudden rodent activity, especially in spaces involving infants or food preparation.
A sudden swarm or outbreak after a storm or seasonal shift gets an urgent technician dispatched to assess and treat on arrival.
Emergencies don't check the clock, so our after-hours and weekend dispatch works exactly like our daytime service.
A pest emergency threatening business operations or a health inspection gets fast-tracked commercial dispatch.
Every emergency call starts with a quick triage assessment so genuinely urgent situations get moving immediately.

Our rapid-response units are positioned to minimize arrival time for genuine emergencies.
Assessment happens fast, but pricing is still transparent and confirmed with you before work starts.

Situations involving immediate safety risk, like stinging insects near a doorway, are prioritized fastest.
