Barn Swallow Removal in Des Moines, IA by Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management – young barn swallows in a mud nest on a home exterior wall

WHY CONTROL BARN SWALLOWS?

At first glance, barn swallows might not seem like a problem. But once they start building mud nests under your eaves, around vents, or on light fixtures, the mess—and the damage—adds up fast.

Their droppings can stain siding, clog drains, and create a headache for any homeowner trying to keep a clean, well-kept property.

1. Health and Hygiene

Nests often stick to walls, soffits, and above doors, leaving behind hardened mud, debris, and damage to finishes that’s hard to clean or repair.

2. Property Protection

Prevent structural damage and blockages in vents or drains caused by nesting barn swallows with our targeted removal service.

3. Sanitation and Cleanliness

Beyond the visual mess, dried droppings and leftover nesting materials can become a hassle to clean and may impact the overall curb appeal of your home.

If you’re seeing signs of barn swallows taking over your space, we can help. Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management provides professional barn swallow removal in Des Moines, IA and surrounding areas.

1. Daytime Chatter

Listen for chirpy vocalizations during the day, particularly near covered porches or business overhangs, signaling barn swallow presence.

2. Nesting Evidence

Search for mud and grass nests on ledge corners, under eaves, or around business sprinkler heads, indicating barn swallow nests.

3. Dropping Spots

Check for droppings beneath nesting areas on walls, especially under porches or sheltered structures, showing frequent visits.

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!!

I just wanted to email and let someone know how nice of a job Jared does when he comes out to treat the house. He always asks how things are and if I have any concerns. He checks things thoroughly each visit and addresses issues that need taken care of. He is very pleasant and professional.
