Most of us would not consider calling pest control or insect extermination services when we come across bees in Oak Park. In turns out that most local residents in Oak Park, IL and the rest of Cook County, think of bees as friends. Sure, they are one of the most useful species of insects. A colony of bees does not normally need to be exterminated – they just need to use what we call our relocation insect service.
However, there are other insects and bugs which need to be dealt with by an exterminator in Oak Park or Cook County. We often ignore or don’t see the bugs living in our homes, but they are there. If the population is under control, insects may not cause a problem. That does not mean you should not look out for them. All insects and bugs breed very quickly.
Here’s a list of bugs and insects you should look out for in your home or on your business premises:
In our experience, many local residents don’t really worry about moths. They are often seen as friendly insects that help to pollinate plants.
But, despite their rather innocent appearance, they can quickly cause devastation in your home or hotel. They like to hide out in wardrobes or behind drapes. When you are not looking, they come out and happily munch their way through your soft furnishings or clothes.
Moths are fast breeders. We attended homes that can only be described as having been “moth eaten” while the owners have been on vacation. That is why if you have a problem with moths you should give us a call so we can have our exterminator in Oak Park come out and do an inspection. Even if you’re located anywhere in Cook County, we can have one of our exterminators come by to provide an inspection and free quote.
It surprises many residents in Oak Park that we get termites in this part of the United States. We often associate termites with hotter parts of the world such as Africa and South America. They are found in abundance in warmer climates, but they are found in Cook County, IL as well.
They love nothing better than to munch on the structure of our homes. Termite damage can cost a homeowner a lot of money. You may find you will have to replace structural parts of the home. Always look out for termites. Signs of termite damage include increased dust levels in the home or fine wood dust where wooden structures are exposed. An increase in the ant population is also a sign that termites are present.
It is a good idea to check your attic. If you have cause to be concerned, please give us a call. We have dealt with many termite infestations as part of our exterminator services. You really should not wait to call us if you suspect termites in your home or business. Give us a call today so we can inspect and start you on an immediate extermination program.
Ants are all around us. On occasion, they take a liking to a particular home and move in. Ants are likely to be able to hide out for a while. But, the thing is that ants are sociable insects. In a matter of days, they will let their buddies know they have found a good place to live.
Before you know it, you end up with an ant colony in your home. We have several species of ants in Oak Park, IL. A few of the members of this species can give you very nasty bites.
When you find regular ant sprays and other control measures don’t work, then it is time for our professional exterminator perform an inspection.
Insects don’t mean to cause us harms. Unfortunately, their daily lives and lifestyles conflict with ours. Yet, we have managed to create perfect habits for them. This is why you will find insects turning up in your home, hotel or restaurants in Oak Park or around Cook County.
