Pests we treat around Lakewood
Pests in Lakewood
What we deal with most around Lakewood, IL
Homes close to parks and a nature preserve tend to see more mosquitoes, ticks and wasps than homes in denser areas. Mosquitoes breed in rain barrels, birdbaths and any low spot that holds water, and mosquito control is most effective when it starts early in the season. Ticks wait in tall grass and leaf litter, so pets and people should be checked after time near wooded areas.
Indoors, the calls we hear most are about mice and other rodents in the colder months, ants in kitchens, and spiders in basements and garages. Carpenter ants prefer damp wood, and termites feed underground and inside framing where you cannot see them. In fall, stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on warm walls before finding a way inside.
Weather and pests
How Lakewood's weather affects pest activity
Lakewood's numbers come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast. July highs average about 84 degrees, and January lows about 14. The area receives around 39 inches of precipitation in a typical year, including about 35 inches of snow, and June is the wettest month at more than 5 inches.
Winter is a big part of the picture: roughly 136 nights a year at or below freezing, plus a healthy amount of snow. Snow cover and cold push rodents, spiders and other insects toward heated buildings, and piles of snow against the foundation can hide gaps. Keeping firewood and debris away from the house helps.
About 22 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, which is enough for mosquitoes and ants to build up, especially after a wet June. Clean gutters and check drainage in spring, watch for standing water in summer, seal cracks and vents in fall, and check attics and crawl spaces during winter.

How we fix it
Pest control services in Lakewood
Ant treatment in Lakewood
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Lakewood, 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 Lakewood
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Lakewood 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 Lakewood
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 Lakewood home is built.
Cockroach control in Lakewood
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 Lakewood apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Lakewood
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 Lakewood
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Lakewood. 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.
