Local Context

Why Des Moines Homes Need Bat Control

Bats are a particular problem in Des Moines due to the city's urban density and older homes with accessible roosting spots, like those near the state capitol. The high humidity and elevation of 837 feet support large insect populations, drawing bats to residential areas where they can cause structural damage and health risks.

Many Des Moines homeowners don't realize that the city's historic neighborhoods, with their brick and wood exteriors, provide perfect crevices for bats to enter—especially near the insurance district, where older buildings offer ideal roosting spots.
