Pests in Joliet
What we deal with most around Joliet, IL
Older homes in historic areas such as the Joliet East Side Historic District often have wood trim, porches and crawl spaces where termites and carpenter ants like to hide. Newer subdivisions bring different concerns, like fleas in yards, spiders in garages and wasps building under eaves. Anyone living near the forest preserve or golf courses should expect ticks, mosquitoes and the occasional mouse looking for shelter.
With about 126 nights a year at or below freezing, Joliet has a real cold season that drives rodents and insects toward indoor warmth. About 15 days a year hit 90 degrees or higher, so the summer heat is usually short but strong enough to spur ants and mosquitoes. A plan that follows those seasons keeps small problems from growing.
Weather and pests
How Joliet's weather affects pest activity
July highs in Joliet average about 84 degrees, and January lows about 17. The area receives around 38 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with about 17 inches of snow, and July is the wettest month at about 4.5 inches. Those figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, meant as a guide, not a forecast.
Because July is the wettest month here, the wet weather arrives at the same time as peak heat. Warm rain and standing water make a good recipe for mosquito breeding, and humid nights bring ants, cockroaches and spiders toward doors and windows. Empty saucers and buckets, clear clogged gutters and keep vegetation off siding.
Winter brings its own routine. Mice and other rodents seek out garages, sheds and basements after the first hard freeze, and even a gap the width of a pencil is enough to let one in. Sealing entry points in early fall, storing food in tight containers and keeping firewood away from the house all cut down on what a rodent control visit has to fix.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Joliet
Ant treatment in Joliet
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Joliet, 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 Joliet
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Joliet 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 Joliet
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 Joliet home is built.
Cockroach control in Joliet
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 Joliet apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Joliet
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 Joliet
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Joliet. 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.
