How to Choose the Right Pest Control Plan: Monthly, Bi-Monthly, or Quarterly?

If you’re a homeowner in Sac County, Calhoun County, or Carroll County, Iowa, pest problems can feel like an ongoing battle—especially when each season brings a new wave of bugs. At Evicted Pest Control, we offer customized pest management plans to keep your home pest-free all year long.

But which plan is right for you: monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly? Let’s break down the benefits of each and help you find the best fit for your home and lifestyle.

Quarterly Pest Control Services: A Great Fit for Most Homes

How often: Every 3 months (4 times per year)
Best for: Average households with minimal pest issues

Benefits:

  • Covers the entire seasonal pest cycle (spring, summer, fall, winter)

  • Prevents infestations before they start

  • More affordable than monthly plans

  • Keeps common pests like ants, spiders, earwigs, and boxelder bugs in check

  • Peace of mind with regularly scheduled visits

Seasonal Pest Focus:

  • Spring: Ants and spiders become active

  • Summer: Wasps, mosquitoes, and flies

  • Fall: Boxelder bugs and mice seek warmth indoors

  • Winter: Rodents and overwintering bugs hide in walls and basements

Quarterly services are a solid choice for homeowners in rural or suburban areas of West Central Iowa who want consistent protection without overpaying for unnecessary treatments.

Bi-Monthly Pest Control: Ideal for Families or Homes with Occasional Issues

How often: Every 2 months (6 times per year)
Best for: Families, homes with pets, or those who have recurring pest issues

Benefits:

  • More frequent treatments for more active pest areas

  • Better protection during peak bug seasons (especially spring and summer)

  • Helps manage pests like fleas, ticks, wasps, and silverfish

  • Great for homes with basements, crawlspaces, or lots of landscaping

Why It’s Popular in Iowa:

With our warm, wet springs and humid summers, Calhoun and Carroll County homeowners often see increased pest activity from April to September. Bi-monthly services help stay ahead of the rush.

Monthly Pest Control: The Best Protection for High-Risk Properties

How often: Every month (12 times per year)
Best for:

  • Homes with history of infestations

  • Families with small children or allergy concerns

  • Farms, cabins, rental properties, or homes near water or fields

Benefits:

  • Most aggressive and preventative plan available

  • Constant barrier against pests like mice, cockroaches, bed bugs, and carpenter ants

  • Helps identify and solve problems before they become costly

  • Peace of mind for families with allergy or asthma concerns

When Monthly Makes Sense:

If you’ve dealt with rodents during harvest season, cluster flies in the fall, or live near crop fields (common in Sac County and surrounding areas), a monthly plan may be worth the investment.
