Take Back Your Patio from Mosquitoes, Ticks, Flies, and Pests
Your backyard and patio should be where Iowa summer weekends and evening cookouts happen without interruption, not where mosquitoes and ticks keep your family on edge from the first warm day forward. Mosquito Authority of Des Moines, IA delivers mosquito, tick, fly, and general pest control for homeowners across the Des Moines area, protecting outdoor spaces through Iowa's full warm-weather pest season.
Every 21-day service visit targets mosquito larvae before eggs from the previous treatment advance to biting adults, eliminating each generation at the stage where treatment has the most impact. Mosquito, tick, fly, and pest programs give Des Moines homeowners layered protection from late spring through the end of fall pest activity.
Des Moines sits within the Des Moines and Raccoon River corridors, with Saylorville Lake and the city's wooded trail edges creating tick habitat alongside the region's mosquito and fly pressure. A team focused on the Des Moines area's full pest mix builds site knowledge of how river bottomland, suburban woodlines, and drainage infrastructure combine to drive pest populations through the Iowa season.

Understanding Mosquito and Tick Season in Central Iowa
The Des Moines and Raccoon River corridors create consistent mosquito breeding habitat throughout central Iowa, with peak activity typically running from late May through September. Summer heat and rainfall keep populations active across the metro, while the wooded edges and trail networks surrounding Des Moines neighborhoods sustain tick populations through the warm months.
Iowa Department of Public Health tracks West Nile virus annually across Polk County, with confirmed cases reported in recent seasons. Tick-borne illnesses including Lyme disease are documented in Iowa, with wooded riparian habitat in the Des Moines area among the environments where exposure risk runs higher through spring and summer.

Wonderful customer service
Mosquito Authority has wonderful customer service, always cheerful and helpful whenever you talk with them. They are extremely reliable and the service happens consistently without you ever having to think about it. Once I was finishing up a party in my backyard when they showed up to spray. I asked if they could wait for a few minutes while I wrapped things up and said goodbye to my guests. They were very accommodating and happily waited the 15 to 20 minutes that it took for that to happen. One of those guests was so impressed, that she is now a customer of theirs!

I couldn't be happier with the service we have received!
Thanks to Mosquito Authority we have had a summer of carefree fun outside! They have a product that has done an awesome job of protecting our family from bites and we are so thankful! Thanks to them we have been able to enjoy our yard again with our two little boys! We have a child that is extremely allergic to mosquito bites. We spent more money last year on a mosquito spray from a different company and our yard was still having mosquitoes, and we were getting bit the whole season. This season we switched to Mosquito Authority and our family never had any bites from being in our yard! A couple times we did see one mosquito. All we had to do was call and they sent someone out quickly to re-spray! I couldn't be happier with the service we have received!

We have had a pool in our backyard for 30 years. Since Mosquito Authority has been treating our property - we can finally enjoy being outside in the evening! Their prices are very reasonable and for the value - it's the best money I spend all month! I should invite the team over for a cookout in thanks for their amazing service from text messages to notify us they are coming. I wish all companies managed their businesses this well.
