Know your pests
Pests we treat around Summit
Pests in Summit
What we deal with most around Summit, IL
Where buildings are close together, pests spread quickly, and shared walls, alleys and fences give them easy routes. Cockroaches and bed bugs are the concerns most often tied to multi-unit and older buildings, and they travel through plumbing, luggage and secondhand furniture. Mice and other rodents look for food and shelter in basements, garages and behind appliances.
Outdoors, ants, spiders and wasps are steady in warm months, and fleas can turn up wherever pets or wildlife pass through. Mosquitoes breed in small amounts of standing water, such as clogged gutters, buckets and drains. Carpenter ants and termites go after wood that has stayed damp, so leaks under sinks and around windows are worth fixing early. A yearly check of window screens, door sweeps and vent covers also helps keep insects and rodents out.
Weather and pests
How Summit's weather affects pest activity
Summit has warm summers and cold winters. According to 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, July highs average about 85 degrees and January lows about 19, with about 20 days a year reaching 90 or above. Treat these as a guide, not a forecast.
The area receives about 34 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and May is the wettest month at around 4.1 inches. A wet May feeds the first surge of mosquitoes and keeps soil damp near foundations, and heavy rain can push rodents up out of burrows and drains and into buildings. Keep gutters clear and downspouts pointed away from walls.
Roughly 106 nights a year are at or below freezing. Cold snaps drive mice indoors, and heated buildings keep cockroaches active all winter. Use fall to seal openings around pipes and doors, and use winter to check basements, utility rooms and kitchens. Catching small signs early keeps a minor problem from spreading to the neighboring unit or house.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Summit
Ant treatment in Summit
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Summit, 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 Summit
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Summit 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 Summit
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 Summit home is built.
Cockroach control in Summit
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 Summit apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Summit
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 Summit
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Summit. 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.
