Pests in Edwardsville
What we deal with most around Edwardsville, IL
Warm, humid summers make this one of the more active places for insects in our region. Ants, cockroaches and spiders are frequent callers, and mosquitoes multiply fast in yards with poor drainage or shady, damp corners. Termites are especially important here, because a warmer climate means they can be active over a longer stretch of the year, and carpenter ants often follow wherever wood stays wet.
Fleas and ticks are worth planning for, particularly for households with dogs or cats and yards near wooded areas. Wasps build nests in eaves, sheds and even old wall voids, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs collect on warm siding in the fall. Rodents still look for shelter when nights cool off, so garages, crawl spaces and attics should be checked before winter.
Weather and pests
How Edwardsville's weather affects pest activity
The numbers here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so please treat them as a guide and not a forecast. Edwardsville sees July highs near 87 degrees and January lows around 22. About 29 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, a long hot stretch that speeds up ant colonies, roach populations and mosquito breeding.
Annual precipitation is about 42 inches, and May is the wettest month at roughly 5.5 inches, so spring is when soil and wood around foundations get soaked. There are only around 85 nights a year at or below freezing, a much shorter cold season than in northern Illinois. Insects wake up earlier and stay active later, which stretches the pest season on both ends.
Because the warm season is long, we suggest starting exterior treatment early in spring and keeping up a regular schedule through fall. Check gutters and downspouts after big rains, keep mulch a few inches away from siding and trim branches that touch the roof. Even in a milder winter, mice will move in, so sealing gaps in fall is still a good idea.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Edwardsville
Ant treatment in Edwardsville
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Edwardsville, 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 Edwardsville
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Edwardsville buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. 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 Edwardsville
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 Edwardsville home is built.
Cockroach control in Edwardsville
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 Edwardsville apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Edwardsville
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 Edwardsville
Edwardsville'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.
