WHY CONTROL RACCOONS?
Raccoons might look curious and playful, but once they get into your attic, garage, or trash bins around your Des Moines home, they can create serious problems fast.
From loud scratching at night to torn-up insulation and scattered garbage, raccoons cause stress, damage, and safety risks that only get worse over time.
1. Health and Safety
Raccoons are known to fight with pets if cornered, and they leave droppings that can spread bacteria. While less common, they can also carry diseases like rabies and roundworm, making professional removal the safest choice.
2. Prevent Property Damage
Raccoons are adept at causing structural damage, especially in attics and roofs, necessitating professional intervention.
3. Keep Your Property Clean
Tipped-over trash cans, droppings in the attic, and foul odors are all signs of a raccoon problem. Removal helps restore cleanliness and peace of mind in your home.

🐿️ Other Wildlife Removal
Squirrels nesting in attics, skunks burrowing under decks, or birds squeezing into vents — we remove them humanely and close off the entry points they use.
🐜 Insect Control
Ants marching across the kitchen counter, wasps building nests under porches, or spiders showing up in basements — our treatments target the problem and keep it from coming back.
🐭 Rodent Management
Mice and rats are especially active in Iowa homes once the weather turns cold. We find where they’re getting in, remove them, and seal things up so they stay out.

HOW TO SPOT RACCOON ACTIVITY
Raccoons are clever and resourceful creatures, often hiding in less obvious places around your property, making detection challenging. That’s why recognizing the signs of raccoon activity is essential for prompt and effective raccoon removal. Here are key indicators to watch for:
1. Nocturnal Noises
Listen for noises like thumping or scratching at night, particularly from attics, crawl spaces, or under decks, indicating raccoon presence.
2. Footprints and Tracks
Watch for raccoon footprints near food sources or sheltered spots like under decks and crawl spaces, suggesting nearby activity.
3. Damage and Tampering
Notice damage like torn garbage bags or compromised shingles, often signs of raccoon tampering in attics and under decks.

Why Choose Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Control
Knowledgeable, careful, and insightful-I had the opportunity to meet with Nicole Spaulding from Bobcat Wildlife and Pest Management to learn more of what she does and to ask questions about their industry, fearing it affected my own (outdoor aquatic stock growth).She took the time to share with me the ins-and-outs of her industry, genuinely caring for my concerns, resolving them completely in the end.
Highly recommend using this company for any pest control needs and or wildlife issues.
Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management came to my house to deal with a serious bat problem. I have had no issues with bats since they came, and the guy who did the work on my house was thorough and took obvious pride in his work. They are knowledgeable and thorough and don’t take the easy way out. It was clear that they really cared about solving my bat issue and I highly recommend them to anyone with a bat problem.
Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again. On time, efficient, and very knowledgeable!!
They do an amazing job with our pest control and keeping all the mosquitos at bay. I really appreciate how caring & respective Gene is towards these animals and rodents…
Thank you so much! We debated calling for a long time. When I finally did Blake came the very next day and trapped the squirrel who was the culprit of the damage. He fixed the damage too! We are so happy we finally called, wish we would have done it sooner! Thanks Blake!
Jared was super helpful, set up traps, and we are looking forward to a raccoon free attic.
What a great experience Ronnie Hayes came to our place he came to our place assessed that we had a few raccoons in our attic. He even put a trap on the roof and for them out the same day then the relocated them. For a very responsible place.
