Not every pest situation is an emergency, but when it is — an active hive near kids, a sudden rodent sighting in a nursery, a wasp nest blocking a doorway — our triage protocol gets a technician moving fast. 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.
You'll know the cost upfront — urgency doesn't mean an unclear or inflated bill.
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.
A rodent sighting in a nursery, kitchen, or food-storage area gets prioritized same-day or same-hour dispatch.
We treat unexpected outbreaks — ants, spiders, stinging insects — with same-day urgency rather than standard scheduling.
Weekend and holiday emergency calls receive the same rapid response as any weekday urgent call.
We prioritize commercial emergency calls where delay could mean a closure or failed inspection.
Our dispatcher asks a few quick questions to route true emergencies ahead of standard scheduling.

Tell dispatch exactly what you're seeing; a wasp nest by the door gets a different response speed than a general question.
An emergency technician is routed to your Ames property as fast as road conditions allow, day or night.
The technician assesses the situation on arrival and quotes a flat emergency price before any treatment begins.
The immediate threat is resolved on the spot, with any needed follow-up scheduled under our standard guarantee.

Having a real 24/7 line, not just a voicemail, made all the difference during an actual emergency.
The pricing was clear even though it was an emergency call — no surprise after-hours markup.
A storm knocked a tree limb into our shed and disturbed what turned out to be a yellow jacket nest right as the kids were about to go play outside. Someone was there within the hour.

No matter what time it is or which Ames neighborhood you're in, our emergency line is staffed and ready to route a technician. Emergency coverage extends to homes, apartments, and businesses across Ames, with the same rapid-response standard whether it's 3pm or 3am.

Yes, our emergency dispatch line operates 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Most Ames emergency calls see a technician within the hour, road conditions and distance permitting.
Pricing reflects the urgency of same-hour dispatch but is always confirmed with you upfront, not hidden.
