With over 50 years of experience serving the Des Moines area, Diam Pest Control is your trusted solution for pest control. The president of Diam Pest Control, Perry Tague, is just a phone call away and customer satisfaction is his number one concern. The key factor to effective control is an ability to correctly identify the problem, and no one knows local pests like a local company. We have been providing service for over 50 years.

"On time. Very professional"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Squirrels tend to forage, traveling along roof and fence lines. To trap a squirrel, placing a baited trap on the roof near the point of entry is the best option. If you can see them going in and out or recognize the damage they might be causing to the exterior of your home, you can also try placing traps near those locations.

Fortunately, many strong natural scents can help deter roaches, thanks to their keen sense of smell. Roaches tend to avoid potent aromas, such as crushed bay leaves, citrus peels, eucalyptus, and peppermint, as they associate these smells with danger. Sprinkling garlic powder, placing mint or lavender plants, or using essential oils like citronella, clove, or tea tree can create an unwelcoming environment for them. These scents don't kill roaches, but they can help keep them from settling in your home when used consistently in high-risk areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or entry points.

Rabbits face a range of formidable adversaries in rural and suburban areas. Natural predators such as hawks, foxes, bobcats, raccoons, coyotes, and weasels pose significant threats to their survival. These skilled hunters target bunnies for food, contributing to regulating rabbit populations. Outdoor housepets can be enemies, too, particularly dogs and cats. And loud little humans playing in your yard make great rabbit deterrents, too.

Some birds of prey, like owls, hunt at night. Hawks are diurnal and need good light to see their prey. You could see them circling anytime from dawn to dusk. Species like the common red-tailed hawk are most active in the early morning and late evening when their prey is also typically on the go.

You should not see live bed bugs after heat or fumigation treatments, but you may see dead bugs. For chemical treatments, it can take several days for bed bugs to die. However, you may see live bed bugs if they are hiding in areas to avoid insecticides or if they are resilient to the type of treatment used.
