Pests we treat around Des Moines
Pests in Des Moines
What we deal with most around Des Moines, WA
Homes in Des Moines deal with pests that thrive in cool, damp conditions. Carpenter ants and termites go after wet wood, particularly on decks, window sills and fence posts. Rats and mice find shelter in crawl spaces and attics, spiders web across porches and garages, and wasps nest in eaves and shrubs. Mosquitoes appear whenever rainwater is left standing in buckets, gutters or low ground.
About 25 nights a year drop to freezing or below here, so winter is not cold enough to stop pests for long. What it does is draw rodents toward warm walls and insulated spaces. Fall is the best time to trim back plants that touch the house, cap chimneys, and seal gaps around vents and cables. Doing this before the rain begins in earnest keeps most of the trouble outside.
Weather and pests
How Des Moines's weather affects pest activity
Des Moines has a marine-influenced climate that stays mild in every season. The July high averages about 77 degrees, August is the warmest month, and the January low is near 38. A typical year brings about 39 inches of precipitation and roughly 6 inches of snow, and just 4 days a year reach 90 degrees.
November is the wettest month, with about 6.3 inches, and December is the coldest. The figures come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station and work best as a guide, not a forecast.
Moderate temperatures and frequent rain mean pest pressure does not vanish in any month. Wet autumns leave siding and decks damp, and that invites carpenter ants and termites, while a few warm days in summer are enough to bring out wasps and ants in force. A simple routine goes a long way: check the roofline and gutters in spring, empty any standing water and watch for nests in summer, and walk the exterior in October with a flashlight, looking for gaps a mouse could use.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Des Moines
Ant treatment in Des Moines
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Des Moines, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Des Moines
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Des Moines buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Des Moines
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Des Moines home is built.
Cockroach control in Des Moines
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Des Moines apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Des Moines
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Des Moines
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Des Moines. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
