Do termites really survive Illinois winters?

Yes. Eastern subterranean termites live deep enough in the soil to ride out the cold, then swarm in spring, often around basement windows, sill plates and wood that touches the ground. Seeing winged insects indoors in April or May is the usual first clue.

Why do mice show up every fall?

As nights get cold they move toward warm foundations and squeeze through gaps the width of a pencil, usually around garage doors, utility lines and dryer vents. Trapping handles the ones already inside; sealing those openings keeps the next wave out.

Are there rats in Naperville, or just mice?

Norway rats do turn up, especially near creeks, compost piles, bird feeders and garages that store pet food or grass seed. Their burrows along foundations and fences are a different job from a mouse problem and need their own plan.

We got back from a trip and now there are bites. Could it be bed bugs?

Travel is one of the most common ways they arrive. Check the seams of the mattress and box spring, the headboard and nearby furniture for rusty spots or tiny pale eggs, and keep suitcases off the bed until you know.

Big black ants are in the kitchen in spring. Are they damaging the house?

Large black ants are often carpenter ants, which hollow out damp or softened wood to nest rather than eat it. Finding them indoors early in the year can point to a moisture problem in a window frame, deck ledger or roofline.

How do cockroaches get into a clean townhouse or apartment?

They travel through shared walls, plumbing chases and delivery boxes. German cockroaches stay close to kitchens and bathrooms, and they breed fast, so treating early and treating neighboring units together works far better than waiting.

Why are there so many spiders in the basement?

Basements give them steady temperatures and plenty of insects to eat. Wolf spiders and house spiders are the usual residents. Reducing clutter and moisture, and cutting down the insects they feed on, is what keeps the population low.

We live near a forest preserve. How worried should we be about ticks?

Deer ticks are present in DuPage County, and they wait in tall grass, leaf litter and the edges where lawns meet woods. Keeping that border trimmed and treating it during tick season lowers the odds of bringing one inside.

My dog keeps scratching even after a flea collar. What now?

Most of a flea problem lives in carpets, pet bedding and shaded yard spots as eggs and larvae, not on the pet. Treating the house and yard together with your vet's flea product is what ends the cycle.

Which Naperville neighborhoods do you cover?
