Pests we treat around Troy
Pests in Troy
What we deal with most around Troy, IL
Long, hot summers make Troy busy for pests. About 53 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and that heat speeds up ant colonies, wasp nests and mosquito breeding. Fleas and ticks thrive in warm grass and on pets, spiders and cockroaches move in and out of garages and kitchens, and termites are a steady risk in wood-framed homes where soil around the foundation stays moist.
Winters here are mild for the region, with about 94 nights a year at or below freezing, so insects come back early in spring and hang on into late fall. Mice still look for warm shelter once nights turn cold, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on sun-warmed walls before finding their way inside. Carpenter ants prefer damp wood and can be found in porches, decks and window frames.
Weather and pests
How Troy's weather affects pest activity
Troy's summers are on the hot side. July highs average about 90 degrees, and January lows average about 24. In a typical year the area sees about 43 inches of precipitation and about 11 inches of snow, and May is the wettest month at roughly 5 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide and not a forecast.
A wet May followed by a hot summer is very good for mosquitoes. Any container holding water for more than a few days can produce a new batch, so tip out buckets, birdbaths, plant saucers and toys. Damp soil at the foundation is just as appealing to termites, so keep mulch thin and gutters clear.
We suggest starting exterior treatment in early spring, well before ants and mosquitoes peak. Recheck for standing water after each storm through summer, inspect wood near the ground for termite tubes, and seal cracks around doors and vents by early fall. A few hours of prevention each season can save a lot of frustration later.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Troy
Ant treatment in Troy
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Troy, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Troy
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Troy 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 Troy
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Troy home is built.
Cockroach control in Troy
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 Troy apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Troy
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 Troy
Troy's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. 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.
