Wildlife specialists look for signs such as chewing on, in, or around your home, small openings leading to the attic or the crawl space, droppings, and debris like nuts or nesting material. Beams, wires, pipes, and insulation may all show signs of damage from squirrels.
Another frequent visitor to Des Moines yards, raccoons are notorious for knocking over trash bins and eating out of pet bowls. Raccoons are primary carriers of the rabies virus, as well as raccoon roundworm and canine distemper. Iowa residents who suspect raccoon activity in a crawl space or under the deck should seek expert aid to remove the pest.
During a rodent inspection, we thoroughly inspect your attic and provide a complete exterior home inspection. The most common signs of rodent activity are gnaw marks, feces, rub marks, nesting material, runs in insulation material, and small entry points.
We perform a full interior and exterior inspection and search for signs such as rub marks, guano, a strong scent of ammonia, and small openings. The most common sign is the accumulation of guano (feces).
We have problems with the following critters in the Des Moines area; raccoons, woodchucks, opossums, bats, moles, mice, and birds.
The warmth of the summers causes bats to seek attic spaces to birth and rear their young. Cold winters force wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, mice and rats to seek shelter in homes. These different seasons have their different challenges.
Chewing, scratching, squeaking, chirping, mounds of dirt and holes in the siding, soffit, or roof. Footprints and animal feces are also dead giveaways.
Eliminate any food sources on your property and alter any habitat that may provide cover for unwanted wildlife.
