Pests in Chatham
What we deal with most around Chatham, IL
What Chatham homeowners tend to notice first depends on the season. In spring it is ants marching along counters and carpenter ants near damp wood, and by summer it is wasps under eaves, spiders in garages and mosquitoes at dusk. Termites are active year after year in wood that touches soil, and cockroaches take advantage of any kitchen or bathroom with moisture and crumbs.
Chatham sees about 114 nights a year at or below freezing, a milder winter than farther north, but enough to send mice, stink bugs and boxelder bugs looking for warm places. Ticks and fleas become a concern around lawns, pets and the edges of parks. Sealing gaps in autumn and keeping mulch away from the foundation both make a noticeable difference.
Weather and pests
How Chatham's weather affects pest activity
Chatham has warm summers and moderately cold winters. July highs average about 86 degrees and January lows about 19, with January the coldest month. A typical year brings about 40 inches of precipitation, and May is the wettest month at roughly 5.1 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so please use them as a guide, not a forecast.
About 23 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, which is plenty to accelerate ant colonies, mosquito breeding and wasp nest growth. Heavy May rain leaves water sitting in gutters, planters and low corners of a yard, and it saturates the soil against foundations, giving carpenter ants and termites a reason to head toward the house.
For Chatham, a year-round rhythm works well. In late winter, look for rodent signs in attics and garages. In spring, treat the exterior and fix moisture problems. In summer, stay on top of standing water, and in early fall, seal gaps before the first freeze. Request a free quote if you would like help building the plan for your property.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Chatham
Ant treatment in Chatham
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Chatham, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Chatham
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Chatham buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Chatham
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Chatham home is built.
Cockroach control in Chatham
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Chatham apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Chatham
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Chatham
Chatham's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
