Calls to Des Moines Pest Control are answered 24/7. Because the ZIP sits close to the highways, visits often include rental houses and a mix of ages in the housing stock.
North Des Moines is ZIP 50313, the northern edge of the city, where the approaches to Interstate 35 and Interstate 80 run through. The reference point this site uses is about 4 km to the south, so the ZIP is close enough to the core for a short route from downtown and far enough out to need a planned drive. The centroid for the ZIP is approximate, so the page treats the area as a region rather than a set of addresses.
The housing in this part of the city is mixed in age and in tenure. Some streets have older single-family houses, some have newer homes and a share of the stock is rented. A visit in this area often has more than one owner or occupant involved, so the paperwork and the access are arranged early.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Houses near the Interstate 35 and 80 approaches are close to busy roads, and the traffic and the lights of the highway can draw insects toward the buildings nearby. A technician looks at the lighting on the outside of the house and the windows on the side that faces the road. Sealing around the window frames on those sides is often the first step.
We have not checked local pest records for ZIP 50313, so this page does not state which pests are active near the highways. It describes the inspection order and the work the housing mix calls for.
A share of the houses here are rented, and the people who live in them change more often than in an owner-occupied street. A visit can be arranged by the owner, the tenant or both, and the technician records the findings for each party. The record shows what was sealed, what was treated and what repairs are the owner's responsibility.
Tenants can help by storing food in sealed containers, taking bins out on schedule and reporting any sign promptly. Owners can arrange the sealing of the foundation and the screens, and the technician will list the items that belong to each side.
Older houses in the ZIP may have cellars and foundations that have settled over time, with openings around the old vents and pipes. Newer infill may have a crawl space or a slab, with gaps where the framing meets the cladding. The technician checks the foundation type first, then works through the openings it has.
Because the stock varies, a single visit may need a different method on each house. The plan is written for the house in front of the technician, and no standard package is applied across the ZIP.
Clear access to the garage and the foundation, and move stored items off the floor. Write down any droppings, insect trails or noises and when they were noticed. If the house is rented, let the owner know the visit is planned so the access and the repairs can be arranged together.
Look at the screens and the door sweeps on the sides facing the road. A torn screen or a worn sweep is an easy repair that removes an entry point.
