We rely on natural pest control options, using non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract to worry about.

Pests we treat around Lafayette Township
Pests in Lafayette Township
What we deal with most around Lafayette Township, IL
Pests in Lafayette Township follow a predictable pattern. Spring wakes up carpenter ants and termites, particularly around wet wood, and ants start searching kitchens and pet bowls. Spiders build in sheds, eaves and garages, and wasps claim sheltered corners. Anyone with a wooded lot or a creek nearby should expect more mosquitoes and ticks as the ground warms.
Later in the year, boxelder bugs and stink bugs land on sunny walls, mice and other rodents probe for gaps, and cockroaches use plumbing chases in older or busier buildings. Fleas can become a problem in any home with pets. A pest inspection in early fall is often the single most useful thing a homeowner can schedule.
Weather and pests
How Lafayette Township's weather affects pest activity
Lafayette Township has clear seasons and a wide temperature range. July highs average about 86 degrees and January lows average around 20, with January the coldest month. About 36 inches of precipitation falls in a typical year, and June is the wettest month at roughly 4.7 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
Only about 20 days a year reach 90 degrees, so summers are hot but not extreme, and pests are seldom slowed by heat. About 106 nights a year fall to freezing or below, which is more than enough time for rodents to work on a foundation, a garage door or a dryer vent in search of somewhere warm.
June rain often leaves low spots in yards that hold water for days, and mosquitoes will take advantage. Keep gutters running clear, empty containers that collect rain, and store firewood well off the ground. In early fall, spend an afternoon sealing cracks around windows, doors and pipes; it is inexpensive work that keeps many winter problems from starting.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Lafayette Township
Ant treatment in Lafayette Township
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Lafayette Township, 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 Lafayette Township
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Lafayette Township 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 Lafayette Township
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 Lafayette Township home is built.
Cockroach control in Lafayette Township
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 Lafayette Township apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Lafayette Township
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 Lafayette Township
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Lafayette Township. 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.

Serving Lafayette Township
Serving Lafayette Township and nearby towns
We take calls from all over Lafayette Township, including homes near Peterson Park and the areas around Douglas Hart Nature Center. Green areas and open lots are good habitat for wildlife, so we often check fences, sheds and outbuildings alongside the main house.
Our route also covers Mattoon, Lerna, Charleston, Janesville, Trilla, Humboldt, Gays and Neoga. If your property sits between two of those places, tell us the address and we will confirm it before scheduling anything. For a township home, we often start with the outbuildings, the woodpile and the edges of the lot, since pests tend to settle there first before they reach the living space. Tell us what you have noticed and we will start from there.
