Pileated woodpecker on a tree—Woodpecker Removal Services in Des Moines, IA by Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management

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.
