General Pest Control
One visit covers the indoor pests that find their way into a Des Moines house, starting with an inspection.
Des Moines Pest Control takes pest calls across Des Moines and Polk County and sends them to a local technician. Services include exclusion and sealing, fall invader control, mouse trapping, ant and cockroach work, lawn and yard treatment, and commercial plans. Each service page explains the inspection, the process and the price approval.

Most Des Moines pest calls start with one sign: a trail, a sound in the wall, a few beetles on a sunny window. The service you need depends on what the inspection finds, so each service page sets out what that work involves, from the signs a technician looks for to the way the plan is approved.
Sealing and exclusion appear on most plans, because the openings are how pests enter. Treatment is added where the inspection shows an active problem. Call the number on this page if you are unsure which service applies, and the call-taker will explain the options.
One visit covers the indoor pests that find their way into a Des Moines house, starting with an inspection.
Exclusion and timed barrier work keep boxelder bugs and lady beetles from overwintering inside a Des Moines house.
Sealing the openings a quarter inch or larger keeps seasonal deer and white-footed mice from moving into a Des Moines house.
Trapping and monitoring remove the mice already inside a Des Moines house, because cleaning alone rarely clears them.
Ant trails are traced to their entry point, sealed where possible, and treated where the colony is feeding.
Inspection of the harbourage and water sources, with treatment placed where cockroaches hide and feed.
Webs and spiders come from outside and from dark corners, so the work pairs removal with checks of the gaps and clutter they use.
A nest is located, assessed for its size and position, and removed or treated by a technician who explains the risk first.
Bed bugs are found by inspecting where they hide, and treated with a plan that covers the room and the items they travel in.
Fleas are treated where they develop, in carpet, bedding and pet resting areas, as well as on the animals themselves.
Mosquito work focuses on the standing water and shaded resting spots where adults hatch and rest in a yard.
A termite inspection looks for mud tubes, frass and damage in the structure, then sets out the options before any treatment.
Yard and shrub treatment is planned around the plants, the pests found on them and the people and pets who use the lawn.
Stored food pests are traced to the packaged food that holds them, then removed and the pantry is cleaned and checked.
A buyer's pest check covers the structure and the signs of activity, with a written record of what was and was not reached.
Scheduled service for food, retail and office sites, with inspection logs and treatment timed to the business's operating hours.
A new house is checked for entry gaps and wood contact before the first season, and sealed where the builder left openings.
