Pest Guide

Most Common Pests in West Des Moines

🐭

Mice & Rats

Exclusion (sealing entry points) is more effective long-term than trapping alone for West Des Moines rodent problems. Signs: gaps around plumbing penetrations, gnaw marks on wood trim, droppings near appliances.

🐜

Ants

Ant baits work when matched to species — generic supermarket products fail against West Des Moines's most common pest ants. Signs: persistent trails despite bait stations, ants ignoring bait, branching trails leading to multiple nests.

🕷️

Spiders

Wolf spiders in West Des Moines don't build webs — they hunt at night and can be alarming to find indoors. Signs: large hairy spiders running across floors at night, found in basements and garages, eight eyes visible in flashlight beam.

🪱

Centipedes

Thrive in damp West Des Moines basements and crawl spaces. Painful bite. Signs: sightings near drains and damp areas, especially at night.

🐝

Wasps & Yellow Jackets

Yellowjackets account for the majority of stinging emergencies in West Des Moines. They nest in soil, walls, and attics. Signs: ground-level entry holes with constant traffic, wasps inside homes through wall cracks.

🛏️

Bed Bugs

Spreading rapidly across West Des Moines. Nearly impossible to eliminate without professional treatment. Signs: rust stains on sheets, itchy welts in rows, sweet musty smell.
