WHY CONTROL WOODPECKERS?
Woodpeckers may be fascinating, but their pecking can damage siding, eaves, and roofs, leading to costly repairs. They also attract parasites and pests, posing risks to your home’s safety and structure.
At Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management, we provide humane woodpecker removal in Des Moines, IA, ensuring your home stays protected and pest-free. Here’s why fast action matters:
1. Home Vulnerability to Pests
Woodpecker damage creates entry points for insects, rodents, and bats, increasing the risk of infestations. Our expert removal services seal off vulnerabilities, keeping unwanted pests out.
2. Structural Damage Prevention
Repeated pecking weakens exterior surfaces, leading to moisture damage, insulation issues, and long-term deterioration. Stopping woodpeckers early helps prevent costly structural repairs.
3. Noise & Property Disturbance
Woodpecker drumming is loud and persistent, disrupting your home’s peace. Their damage also lowers curb appeal, making early removal essential for maintaining home value and comfort.

HOW TO SPOT WOODPECKER ACTIVITY

Woodpeckers can be found in a variety of settings, and identifying signs of their activity is crucial for timely intervention. Keep an eye out for these indicators:
1. Distinctive Sounds
Listen for the unmistakable tapping or drumming of woodpeckers as they peck at wood surfaces, often a sign they’re nearby or have established a nesting area.
2. Visible Damage
Look for holes or damage on wooden structures, siding, or trees around your property, which can indicate woodpecker nesting or feeding sites.
3. Droppings and Debris
Notice droppings or wood shavings beneath areas of frequent woodpecker activity, signaling their presence and potential nesting spots.

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.

Jared was super helpful, set up traps, and we are looking forward to a raccoon free attic.

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!!

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.

Nate with Bobcat Pest was great to work with! I called in about a birds nest removal. He gave the roof a full inspection, cleaned out the nest/dead birds, and returned a week later to patch the hole. Very professional service.

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…

Highly recommend using this company for any pest control needs and or wildlife issues.

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!
