Built by Minnesotans Who Know Where Pests Hide
Minnesota Pest Pros is a single-state pest control company we work in Minnesota and nowhere else. That focus matters. A crew that handles Minneapolis row houses, Duluth lake homes, and Rochester farm-adjacent properties learns how mice shift from fields into garages at first frost, and how boxelder bugs mass on south-facing siding every October.
We started over a decade ago with a simple idea: tell homeowners the truth about what is attracting or admitting pests, then match the treatment to the pest instead of selling a one-size package. Most of our work comes down to finding the entry point a dryer vent flap, a foundation crack, a roofline gap and explaining it in plain language before we treat anything.
Customers hire us for mouse extermination, carpenter ant treatment, wasp nest removal, and bed bug treatment, among other services. Our technicians hold Minnesota commercial pesticide applicator licensing, and we carry general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. We’re also members of the National Pest Management Association, which keeps our methods current with industry standards.
If you want a crew that explains first and treats second, that’s how we work.
Daniel Larson and the Crew Behind Every Inspection
Daniel Larson founded Minnesota Pest Pros after years of crawling through Twin Cities basements and attics. “I grew up in Minnesota and started in pest control helping homeowners track down how mice and insects were getting into older houses,” he says. “I built this company to give people clear explanations and practical treatment plans that account for our long winters, spring thaw, and the pests that come with each season.”
Our motto is simple: Clear Answers. Targeted Pest Control.
The team coordinates inspections and treatments from Minneapolis, scheduling service across Minnesota’s regional markets. On a typical visit, a technician inspects first checking foundation lines, soffits, and utility penetrations then explains what they found before recommending treatment or exclusion work. You’ll hear what the pest is, why it picked your home, and what steps you can take to keep it from coming back.
We don’t hand you a chemical list and leave. We walk you through the findings, answer questions on the spot, and follow up so the next steps stay clear. That’s the part of pest control most companies rush past, and it’s the part we refuse to skip.
What We See Right Before the Phone Rings
Most calls start the same way: something the homeowner noticed that finally crossed a line.
- Ants trailing across kitchen counters a foraging line means a colony nearby, and wiping counters won’t move it.
- Carpenter ants shedding wings indoors wing piles near windows signal a nest inside the structure, not just outside.
- Mouse droppings behind kitchen appliances droppings near the stove mean activity in wall voids above, not a lone wanderer.
- Scratching sounds inside bedroom walls nighttime noise points to rodents moving between nest and food source.
- Bed bugs leaving itchy overnight bites bites in lines or clusters mean the infestation is already established near sleeping areas.
- Cockroaches appearing near kitchen sinks daytime sightings usually indicate crowding in hidden harborages.
- Wasps nesting beneath porch eaves by late summer a single eave nest can hold hundreds of aggressive workers.
We’ve traced bat entry through attic roof gaps in homes near Minnehaha Creek, and mouse runs through garages across the North Loop. The pattern is always the same: the visible pest is the symptom, and the entry point is the problem.
How We Work: Inspect, Explain, Treat to the Label
Every job follows the same sequence. Inspect and identify first, explain findings in plain language second, treat third and only with a product matched to the pest. That order protects your home and keeps treatments targeted instead of broadcast.
Our work follows Minnesota Statutes Chapter 18B on pesticide use and Chapter 18G on structural pest control licensing, and every application follows EPA FIFRA label directions the label is law, and we treat it that way. Our applicators are licensed through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, and we stay current on Minnesota Department of Health and Department of Natural Resources guidance, including protected bat species rules before any exclusion work. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard governs how we handle and store products on your property.
Here’s a detail an out-of-town contractor gets wrong: Minnesota’s spring thaw shifts rodent pressure and floods ant colonies out of saturated soil, so a treatment plan written in January fails by April. We time treatments to the season, not the calendar quarter.
The step most crews skip? Sealing the entry point after treatment. We don’t because without exclusion, you’re rehiring us every year.
Talk to a Minnesota Tech Before You Decide
If you’ve found droppings, wings, or a nest and want a straight answer about what it means, call us. We’ll describe what the sign points to, what treatment makes sense, and what it should cost before you commit to anything.
