Why Des Moines Homes Need Ant Control
Des Moines' urban density and elevation of 837 feet contribute to ants nesting in foundations, sidewalks, and lawns, where they find ample food and moisture. The city's humid summers and cold winters (with lows averaging 14°F) drive ants indoors seeking shelter, making them a persistent problem for homeowners. In Des Moines, species like pavement ants and carpenter ants are especially common, damaging structures and contaminating food sources.

Des Moines Ant Prevention Tips
Seal cracks in your Des Moines home's foundation and around windows, as our freeze-thaw cycles can create entry points for ants. Keep gutters clean and downspouts directed away from the house to reduce moisture buildup, which attracts ants in our humid climate. Store firewood at least 20 feet from your home, as Des Moines' cold winters make woodpiles a prime nesting site for ants seeking warmth.

This local pattern means timing your treatment before a forecasted storm can prevent a major invasion.
