Pests we treat around South Ottawa Township
Pests in South Ottawa Township
What we deal with most around South Ottawa Township, IL
Near parks, golf grounds and mowed lawns, mosquitoes, ticks and wasps are seasonal regulars. Carpenter ants nest in wet wood, termites work in framing that touches soil, and ants trail along foundations and into kitchens. Mice and other rodents shelter in sheds and stacked wood before moving into garages, and spiders collect around porch lights and window wells.
With about 129 nights a year at or below freezing, the cold season lasts a long time, and it pushes rodents, boxelder bugs and stink bugs toward heated buildings. Around 17 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, so summer heat is moderate, though a warm spell after rain can set off a burst of ants and mosquitoes. Sealing entry points before winter is the best step to take.
Weather and pests
How South Ottawa Township's weather affects pest activity
South Ottawa Township sees four clear seasons. July highs average about 83 degrees, January lows average around 15, and the area receives about 36 inches of precipitation a year, including roughly 24 inches of snow. May is typically the wettest month at about 4.5 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so please use them as a guide and not a forecast.
Spring rain and snowmelt keep the soil wet, and wet soil next to a foundation invites ants and termites while pooling water gives mosquitoes a place to breed. Snow banked against walls in winter can also hide gaps that mice use. Clear gutters, extend downspouts and pull mulch back from siding to make the house a less friendly target.
To keep pressure low, we suggest an exterior treatment in spring, a check on standing water in late spring and early summer, and a fall sealing of gaps around doors, pipes and vents. In midwinter, keep an eye out for droppings and listen for noises in attics. We would be glad to arrange a schedule that suits your property.
How we fix it
Pest control services in South Ottawa Township
Ant treatment in South Ottawa Township
Ants are among the most common calls we get in South Ottawa 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 South Ottawa Township
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and South Ottawa 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 South Ottawa 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 South Ottawa Township home is built.
Cockroach control in South Ottawa 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 South Ottawa Township apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in South Ottawa 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 South Ottawa Township
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in South Ottawa 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.
