How Des Moines Pest Control works
Des Moines Pest Control was set up to give Des Moines homeowners and businesses one number to call for pest work in the metro, at any hour. The line is answered 24/7, and the call-taker gathers the details that a technician needs before a visit.
The job is then passed to the nearest independent local company that carries out the work. Those companies are not part of this site, and the technician who attends is the person who explains the findings on the day.
We do not do the inspections or the treatments ourselves. What we do is take the call, match it to the right local technician and keep the record of the request, so the caller knows who is coming and what was agreed.
Des Moines is a compact metro with a mix of older houses, newer subdivisions and light-industrial premises, and the work we route reflects that. The areas we cover are listed on the areas page, with the nearby towns for each.
The independent local company on site
Des Moines Pest Control does not send its own crews. When you call, we pass the job to the nearest independent local company that is available, and that company sends the technician who inspects your home or premises.
The company on site carries the permissions and the compliance for the work it does. It holds whatever licences and permits the job requires, keeps its own insurance and answers to the state office that issues its licence. For the company's privacy the licence number is not printed on this site, so you can ask for it on the phone at any time, and you can verify any licence you are given with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
What we hold ourselves to
Answer every call
The phone is answered 24/7, so a call at any hour gets an answer and a plan.
Explain before acting
The technician explains the findings and the price before any product or sealing is used.
Seal the way in
Closing the openings is treated as the first step, because most pests come in from outside.
