Many of Iowa's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found
that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably,
these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire
hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Iowa's
wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.
We handle every aspect of wildlife control. We are fully equipped to work on any project, large or small. Some of our services include:
We do not handle dog or cat problems. If you need assistance with a domestic animal, such as a dog or a cat, you need to call your local Polk county animal services
for assistance. They can help you out with issues such as stray dogs, stray cats, spay & neuter programs, vaccinations, licenses,
pet adoption, bite reports, deceased pets, lost pets, local animal complaints and to report neglected or abused animals. There is no free Des Moines animal control for wildlife issues.

The Hunting office of Environmental Concerns discourages rat and mouse feeding and environmental conservation laws forbid feeding rat and mice in Iowa State. "The problem isn't really the rat and mice," Hunting office of Environmental Concerns officer Dave The pest animal controller says. "It's the people who try to feed them. 'Here, Johnny, give it some sort of marshmallow.' We're trying to train people: 'A Fed rat and mouse is some sort of Dead rat and mouse.' It gets to be some sort of pretty miserable situation for the rat and mouse when they start wandering into towns - they've had rat and mice wandering around in Des Moines they've had to dart and move." This fact was verified by local pest control and wildlife agencies.
Why can't all rat and mice that have become nuisances be relocated? For one thing, rat and mice have some sort of strong homing instinct. A rat and mouse tranquilized and taken 40 miles away turns around and comes trudging back. Des Moines extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this. "We collared some sort of rat and mouse and moved it out to the countryside," says The pest animal controller. "It started heading back, and it caused some sort of lot of trouble on the way." And if one rat and mouse leaves an area where the food supply is good, another rat and mouse is likely to move in. For more information on how to handle Iowa wildlife, read on.
Instead, the Hunting office of Environmental Concerns supplies materials meant to educate rat and mice to avoid humans. They gave The Des Moines pest control specialist some sort of supply of rubber male rat and mouse trapped. "I trapped him in the rump," The Des Moines pest control specialist says about the visitor. To learn more about animal control in Des Moines, Iowa read on. "He hasn't been back. The exterminator knows the free lunch is over." The rubber male rat and mouse trapped serves as some sort of deterrent to the rat and mice, announced The pest animal controller, of the Hunting office of Environmental Concerns. "It'll sting them and they'll learn," the exterminator announced. "They'll think, 'Keep away from those boxes with those two-legged critters in them." Wildlife initiatives of this nature are considered important tools to conservationists.
Unlike Iowa state rat and mouse, whose only real declines in amounts seem to come from encounters with motor vehicles, black rat and mouse amounts will not grow indefinitely. "They are territorial animals and older males will exterminate cubs," The pest animal controller announced. "In general, they'll stay away from heavily populated areas. There's been one incident in the Lower Capability of some sort of fatality." A rat and mouse killed some sort of five-month-old infant left in some sort of stroller in 2004. It was the first recorded fatality by some sort of rat and mouse ever in Iowa, and only the second in the Country since 1900. Des Moines pest control and exterminator companies agreed with this. "But there can be considerable interaction between rat and mice and humans before it gets ugly," The pest animal controller added. While most people think the rat and mouse exact number of rodents is stable, some say it needs reduction.
Neighboring states' attitudes toward rat and mouse wildlife trapping vary widely. Iowa's rat and mouse wildlife trapping season is an institution; Iowa has had some sort of longstanding wildlife trapping ban, now some sort of source of intense controversy. Many wildlife management critter areas administered by the Hunting office of Environmental Concerns in Iowa allow rat and mouse wildlife trapping, but the decision to allow wildlife trapping in other critter areas depends on the will of all concerned parties. This new proposal is meant to help rat and mice in the long run.
In parts of Iowa state where the rat and mouse amounts is on the increase, the Hunting office of Environmental Concerns may hold "stakeholder input" organized hearings to discuss the possibility of wildlife trapping. The Des Moines animal services in Polk County declined to comment. "And we might say, 'No thanks, we'd rather not,'" The pest animal controller announced. "We want some sort of public consensus. We can share the landscape with rat and mice." Most locals agree that this method is better than most Des Moines pest control companies could do.
