"We called Hawkeye Exterminators to help with a maggot infestation resulting from a dead animal on the roof of our home. The animal had been removed for a few days but the problem persisted, which is quite usettling and gross! Before I searched Angie's List for Pest Control I had contacted a chain company for animal control but did not think I was on the right track. Mr. Rhinehart answered my initial call directly and scheduled me the same day. He surveyed the roof area involved and identified the source of our ongoing concern, cleaning away and spraying accordingly. After the more acute problem was addressed, at our request he made a more routine application to the exterior of our home for spiders. We appreciate the professional, courteous and timely service - we will depend on this company for future needs.

"Phenomenal! Hands down the best pest control company in Des Moines! We live in a house built in the 1920's and have original windows, so my expectations on pest control are fairly low, due to the age of the house and the fact that the windows aren't sealed well. With our previous pest company, I came to expect a few bugs slipping through the cracks because of the house. What Gene and Bobcat did was go above and beyond what any other pest company has done. Not only do they barricade the inside of the house, but he also cleaned off the side of the house where they might have been feeding opportunities for bugs. He also has done such a great job that I have not seen a bug the entire time we have been with them. He spends the time to actually look for opportunities for bugs to enter your home and immediately closes those windows. When I noticed that we had odorous ants, Gene came right out, applied a solution and told us what to expect. In a matter of a day, the entire problem was solved and we haven't seen another ant! While the price may be a bit higher than other cheap, corporate pest companies, you get the owner of the company coming to your house, who treats your house like he would his own and who has an obvious, vested interest in doing a great job for you. I have never, ever heard of anyone having a complaint with Gene or his services. On top of all that, you won't stop laughing when he is there...just a fun guy to have around and that makes working with them so much better! There is nothing worse than a cranky, unresponsive employee who doesn't care about the work he does and you will never get that with Bobcat. Gene and his crew make it so easy to love doing business with them. Never in my wildest dreams would I actually look forward to having the pest control company out to the house and that says a lot about Gene and the company he runs."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

One of the best ways to get rid of mice is to prevent them from showing up in the first place with smart tricks—like placing a deterrent around the foundation of your house. Try building a barrier of rocks to make it harder for such rodents to get cozy in the small corners and crawl spaces that might give them access to the interior.

Some animals, such as bats or birds, will be able to get out of chimneys on their own since they can fly. Other animals, however, may have a harder time and will require the help of a professional to escape. Squirrels and raccoons in particular may become stuck inside a chimney, especially if you have a buildup of soot or creosote inside. This can prevent them from being able to climb out, in which case you’ll need to call an animal control expert to help remove them.

There’s no easy way to calm down swarming wasps, especially if they are already agitated. Stay far away and wait for them to settle down to avoid injury. If you’re attempting to DIY kill a very small wasp nest, wait until night to apply wasp spray, as they are calmest and most docile when it’s dark.

You can use commercial repellents to help deter rodents, but they often have mixed results. A better solution is preventing rodents from getting under your home in the first place. Using steel wool or foam sealer, plug all potential entry points like gaps and cracks in the foundation. 

Also, consider installing hardware cloth or wire mesh over vents, utility openings, and any openings under the porch or foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance will aid in early detection and prevention, ensuring a rodent-free environment beneath your house.

Mites hate dry conditions, extreme temperatures, and specific scents. Since they prefer humid environments, eliminating moisture inside your home can help kill them off. If you have essential oils at your disposal, you can use eucalyptus, rosemary, and clove to help get rid of and keep mites at bay.
