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"

Thank you for considering us. I stared in pest control back in 1971 working for a large national firm. I loved it from the beginning but early on dreamed of owning my own business. Partly to be the master of my own destiny but also to do better by the people I serviced. After 4 years of working in the industry and reading every thing I could get my hands I took the plunge. Fast forward 36 years and today we are 4 employees strong. I know that might not sound like much but we only service the Des Moines metro area so in the very local area, house for house, we are really one of the larger firms. We’re a family business. My wife Donna answers the phone, her 32 years experience along with continued Pest Management education will get you off to a great start on the first phone call. I know it’s many of father’s dreams to work with his son and that happened for us in 2006. His name is Chris, I couldn’t be any prouder of him as a son and pest professional. Tim Grimes came to us in 2011 after 14 year working in pest management and also serving a past President of the Iowa Pest Management Association. I’m not going to blow my own horn but I will say I’ve been around a wile.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

The technician's removal method will depend on the species of wasps, the nest’s location, and the severity of the infestation. However, many methods are available to remove wasps , such as aerosols, dusting, liquids, and vacuuming. Once the wasps are exterminated, the technician will remove the nest to prevent re-infestation.

There are many steps you can take to keep mice out of your home. The most preventative include removing all available food sources, keeping your home clean, and sealing up entry points to your home. You can also try using live traps or even getting a cat. If none of these measures work, enlist the help of a pest control company.

Some stores sell smoke bombs to drive animals out of spaces, but we don’t recommend you use them, especially in an attic. The smoke can be toxic to humans or pets that may accidentally inhale it. Meanwhile, critters can easily escape the smoke by temporarily leaving the attic, only to return via their usual entry points after the smoke clears.

A rat nest often looks like a messy, loosely formed pile hidden in a quiet spot. It may appear as a ball-shaped cluster or just a scattered heap made from shredded paper, fabric, insulation, leaves, twigs, and other soft materials. Rats gather whatever they can find nearby to build their nests, often tucking them away in walls, attics, or behind appliances for warmth and safety.

Bed bugs are highly sensitive to heat, so a hot blast with a hairdryer can draw them out of hiding. Providing a source of warmth, such as a heating pad or hot-water bottle, can attract and lure them out. Bed bug monitors and traps with pheromones can also be effective.
