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.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Yes, scorpions can and do climb into beds, but there are ways to deter them. Keep your bedding tucked in and off the ground, and move your bed away from the walls. Place glass jars around the feet of your bed to prevent scorpions from climbing up. Pair this strategy with general prevention by keeping your bedroom free of clutter, adding weatherstripping to windows, and sealing all cracks and crevices where they might get in.

Scorpions can be drawn to your home for a number of reasons, and it depends on the type of scorpion you’re finding. Often, scorpions check out moist areas that attract their prey, including insects like cockroaches, crickets, and moths. If you’re looking for scorpion hotbeds in your home, start with cold and damp places like crawl spaces, attics, or behind appliances.

Armadillos have very strong smelling capabilities to track down insects efficiently. But this superpower is actually a double-edged sword because their extreme sense of smell also causes them to be more sensitive and deterred by strong odors. To keep them at bay, you can place small amounts of substances like vinegar, ammonia, and mothballs around your property and near armadillo hotspots.

Although you can technically flood an armadillo out of its hole, it’s important to remember that this can be potentially fatal to the animal. Armadillos sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and if you perform this technique while they’re deep in sleep, they may not awake soon enough to save themselves.

First, you’ll start noticing fewer flying termites in the air. Second, you’ll see fewer ground-based termites near the entrances to their colony, and eventually none at all. Third, if you have access to part of the nest like mud tubes, you can scour away a section and watch it. If the tubes don’t get repaired, the nest is probably doomed. Again, it can take several weeks for termites to fully go away, depending on the type of treatment.

Wasp removal professionals use high-grade insecticides to get rid of wasps, which is why a major infestation requires hiring a pro. In other cases, wasp removal pros will attack the issue by removing an active wasp nest, using pesticides or insecticidal dust. If you have a pervasive wasp problem, hire a removal professional right away to avoid painful stings.
