    Montpelier is a small town of 1,540 residents at the 2020 census, in Harrison Township, Blackford County, in east-central Indiana. Hartford City is the county seat and the county's largest city, with about 12,100 people living across the county as a whole. The land around town is grain country, with corn and soybean fields covering much of the county as of 2010, and the buildings that come with farming are where most pest calls start. Pole barns, machinery sheds, grain bins and crawl spaces give rodents, insects and wildlife plenty of shelter, and they do not stop being useful just because the season changes.

    Winters here are cold and snowy, and summers are warm and humid. Outdoor pests slow down or stop in the cold, but the indoor problems keep going, especially mice and rats in heated buildings and stored feed. Older houses in the town core, many built during the gas and oil boom of the late 1880s and 1890s, often have full or stone basements and close-set lots, which brings a different set of problems from a farmhouse out on a section road. Call (855) 974-4733 to describe what you are seeing. Phones are answered 24/7, and a technician is sent to the nearest available job.

    Why homeowners call us

    Why Montpelier Pest Control

    Phones answered around the clock

    Calls are picked up at any hour, including nights and weekends. Many farm pest problems, such as rodent activity, are noticed after dark, so a call at that time is normal.

    Built around farm buildings

    Work covers pole barns, machinery sheds, grain bins and outbuildings as well as the house. The technician looks at how the buildings connect, since a gap in one can feed the others.

    Experience with older town houses

    Montpelier has a core of late-1880s and 1890s houses with stone or full basements. Those homes need a different approach from newer or rural buildings, and the technician plans for that on the first visit.

    Price confirmed before work starts

    The technician confirms the price on site before any work begins. You know the cost and the scope before you agree to anything.

    How it works

    From phone call to fixed, in four steps

    1. Describe what you are seeing

      Tell the call taker what you have found, such as droppings, chewed feed bags, nests or a noise in the wall. Describe where it is, whether it is in the house, a barn or an outbuilding, and when you first noticed it.

    2. A technician is sent when one is free

      A visit the same day happens only when a technician is free. If none is free, the call is booked for the next available visit, and no arrival time is promised by phone.

    3. Inspection of the whole property

      The technician checks the house, basement or crawl space, outbuildings and the entry points around them. Signs such as droppings and urine stains help show where rats and mice are moving, since they are most active at night.

    4. A plan and a price before work

      You get an explanation of the method and the price before any work starts. The plan may include sealing and sanitation as well as treatment, because treatment alone seldom solves a rodent problem.

    5. Follow-up where needed

      Some jobs need a second visit to check results, reseal a gap or remove a nest. The number of follow-up visits is part of the price confirmed on site.

    Why do mice and rats move into barns and houses in the fall?

    As the weather cools, rodents look for warm, sheltered places to spend the winter. Purdue Extension guidance describes rodent control as three steps: rodent-proofing the building, sanitation, and then control measures.

    Openings are sealed with mortar, concrete, sheet metal or hardware cloth, particularly around augers, pipes and wires. Feed is stored in metal cans with tight-fitting lids, because loose grain is one of the easiest food sources a rodent can find.

    Droppings and urine stains are the usual signs. Rats and mice are most active at night, so the marks are often found before the animals are seen. Read more in our guide to mice in barns and grain storage in Indiana.

    Are boxelder bugs a problem in Montpelier homes?

    Boxelder bugs do not bite or sting, but they become a nuisance once they get indoors in large numbers. Purdue Extension publication E-24 describes them looking for protected cracks and crevices to spend the winter.

    They get in through cracks in the foundation, around windows and doors, and under siding and shingles. On warm, sunny days in late winter or early spring, they become active again and leave their winter shelter, which is when many homeowners first notice them.

    Sealing these entry points before the fall move indoors is the most useful step. For bugs already inside, Purdue suggests a fly swatter, or a vacuum cleaner or broom and dust pan. See our boxelder bug control service for the full approach.

    Can a bat be removed from an attic or barn in Indiana?

    Indiana DNR guidance generally allows a person to remove up to five bats within a 24-hour period from a home or workplace without a permit, where the bats pose a demonstrable but non-immediate threat to people. Anything beyond that calls for a permit or a wildlife control operator.

    DNR describes eviction with one-way, funnel-shaped devices that let bats out but not back in. It recommends evicting in spring or autumn, so young bats are not trapped inside. Watching at sunset is useful for finding entry points, because bats start to emerge within an hour of sunset.

    Bats can get through holes as small as half an inch, so the search for gaps needs to be thorough. Bat exclusion is specialised work, and the technician explains the approach before starting.

    Who should I ask about a pest company's license in Indiana?

    The Office of Indiana State Chemist, housed at Purdue University, regulates pesticides in Indiana. It issues both the pesticide business license and the applicator certification.

    Ask any company for its Indiana pesticide business license and its applicator certification. In Indiana a pest-control firm generally needs both a business license and at least one certified applicator for each category of work it does, so both are worth asking to see.

    OISC is the office to confirm either credential with. Our guide to Indiana pesticide licensing explains what to ask and where to check.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    How quickly will a technician arrive?

    Phones are answered 24/7, so a call can be made at any hour. A visit the same day happens only when a technician is free. No arrival time is promised over the phone, and the call taker explains the next available visit.

    Do you take calls from towns around Montpelier?

    Calls come in from Montpelier and the towns nearby in Blackford County and the surrounding area. Hartford City, Dunkirk and Bluffton are among the places within reach. You can check your ZIP code to see whether your address falls in the area.

    Will I be told what products are being used?

    The technician explains the method and the materials before any work begins. Products are chosen for the pest and the building on site. You are free to ask about any product before you agree to the work.

    How is the price set?

    The technician confirms the price on site before any work starts. The price depends on the size of the house, the number of outbuildings and pole barns included, the distance out on section roads, and whether sealing or wildlife work is needed as well as treatment. The number of follow-up visits is also part of the price.

    Is it safe to remove a wasp nest myself?

    Purdue Extension advises against plugging a structural nest entrance from the outside, because trapped workers may chew a new route into the house. Folk remedies such as gasoline or a garden hose seldom work and can cause multiple stings. Aerial nests are easier to spot in the fall, when the leaves drop.

    Does homeowners insurance cover pest damage?

    Termite and vermin damage is usually excluded from homeowners policies, so check your own policy wording. If you have a complaint about an insurer, the Indiana Department of Insurance is the route to use. A technician can explain what the damage looks like, but cannot tell you what your policy covers.
