Pests we treat around Des Plaines
Pests in Des Plaines
What we deal with most around Des Plaines, IL
Ants and spiders are the most common visitors in Des Plaines homes, followed by mice and cockroaches. Carpenter ants take advantage of wood that has been wet, termites are a steady concern in older framing, and wasps set up under eaves, decks and railings. Homes near a river or creek can see more mosquitoes, so it pays to look for standing water after every storm.
Once fall arrives, the mood shifts. About 121 nights a year drop to freezing or below, sending rodents, stink bugs and boxelder bugs looking for warm places, including the space behind siding and around window frames. Summer heat is average, with about 17 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. Bed bugs and fleas are less tied to weather, and they can appear whenever a guest, a pet or a used item brings them in.
Weather and pests
How Des Plaines's weather affects pest activity
Des Plaines has clear seasons. July highs average about 84 degrees, January lows about 19, and a typical year brings roughly 38 inches of precipitation and about 38 inches of snow. May is the wettest month at about 4.5 inches. All of these numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, offered as a guide and not a forecast.
The rain of May and the warmth of July combine to help mosquitoes and ants, and damp soil around foundations attracts termites and carpenter ants. Late in the year, snow cover and cold push mice into garages and attics, and they stay there through winter if nobody closes the door on them.
That is why timing is everything in Des Plaines, where the gap between the coldest and warmest months is wide and each season brings its own pests. Look for gaps and nesting signs in late winter, treat the exterior in spring, watch water and trim shrubs back in summer, and seal up before the first hard freeze. We can adapt this plan to your address.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Des Plaines
Ant treatment in Des Plaines
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Des Plaines, 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 Des Plaines
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Des Plaines 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 Des Plaines
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Des Plaines home is built.
Cockroach control in Des Plaines
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 Des Plaines apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Des Plaines
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 Des Plaines
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Des Plaines. 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.
