That kind of layout gives pests plenty of reasons to visit.

Pests we treat around Homewood
Pests in Homewood
What we deal with most around Homewood, IL
Homes with trees, lawns and water nearby tend to see a few repeat offenders. Mice and rats look for warm shelter as the weather cools, carpenter ants start colonies in damp wood, and spiders build around doors, lights and garden sheds. Mosquitoes and fleas peak in summer, and wasps often nest in eaves, playsets and shrubs.
Termites can work behind walls and under floors for a long time before anyone notices, which makes routine inspection valuable. In fall, stink bugs and boxelder bugs cluster on the sunny side of houses and try to get in around windows and siding. Each pest has a different weak spot, so a good plan focuses on what is actually happening at your address.
Weather and pests
How Homewood's weather affects pest activity
Homewood's climate has cold winters and warm, humid summers. January lows average about 15 degrees, July highs about 84, and January is the coldest month. A typical year brings roughly 42 inches of precipitation and 28 inches of snow, and June is the wettest month at close to 5 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they should be read as a guide, not a forecast.
About 126 nights a year drop to 32 degrees or below, so rodents and other overwintering pests have strong reasons to move indoors. Summer heat comes in shorter bursts, with roughly 16 days at 90 degrees or higher, but a wet June leaves plenty of standing water behind and mosquitoes make the most of it.
Plan your year around those swings. In spring, check the foundation and clear gutters. In summer, tip out standing water and keep shrubs trimmed off the house. In autumn, seal cracks and screen openings before the first hard freeze, and in winter, listen for scratching in walls and check the garage and basement often.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Homewood
Ant treatment in Homewood
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Homewood, 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 Homewood
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Homewood 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 Homewood
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 Homewood home is built.
Cockroach control in Homewood
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 Homewood apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Homewood
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 Homewood
Homewood'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.
