Typical Champaign Pest Control Problems
Despite being the fastest growing Illinois city outside of the Chicago area, Champaign is still a small city with all the perks of an urban area. With a variety of shopping options, a world class library system, a national university and great healthcare, Champaign is a great place to live. One of the only downsides of the city are the pest problems.
Champaign is ranked 24th in the nation in year-round bed bug infestations, a nasty problem to deal with. They’re hard to see, create itchy bites, and can go up to 3 months without eating, making bed bugs almost impossible to deal with on your own. If you find bites, see blood smears, or smell an odor like rotting raspberries, you may have a bed bug infestation. If you’re experiencing a pest infestation, call Fox Pest Control today for a free inspection and estimate.
Bed bugs are a constant concern for Champaign homeowners, but not the only one. The humid Illinois climate creates an ideal environment for mosquitoes to thrive in. Each year they hatch out of the area’s ponds, lakes, and rivers and quickly make their way into backyards. Not just a problem because of their itchy bite, mosquitoes are known to carry diseases, such as malaria, zika virus and west nile virus. Although these diseases are rare, if contacted they can be life threatening. Mosquitoes contact these diseases by biting an infected human or animal, and then carrying it in their salivary glands. This then can be transferred to anyone they bite, and cause serious problems for the infected individual.
In the cold Illinois winters, rodents such as rats and mice move into Champaign homes, living in walls, under appliances, and in basements. These pests create problems as they chew through wires, into boxes and walls. They often hide in low traffic areas of your home, and can sometimes be in your home for weeks before you notice. If you are experiencing any pest problems in your Champaign home, let Fox Pest Control help. Our expert pest control technicians have the skills and knowledge to take care of any pest problems you may have. Give us a call today and let us know what problems you’re having. We will send a technician to your home in the next day to assess your issues and create a customized plan suited to your needs.

Fox Pest Control’s Pest Exterminator Service
Pests come in all shapes and sizes. From ants in your kitchen, to termites in your foundation, bug infestations are an inevitable part of homeownership in Bloomington. Some bugs are just a nuisance, like silverfish or crickets which like dark damp places. Other pests like termites or rodents are cause for concern as they cause property damage and can carry disease. Whatever the pest problem you might have in Bloomington, you came to the right place. Fox Pest Control is experienced at combating whatever Bloomington pest might be bothering you.
Signs of a Pest Infestation
You might already know you have a pest problem. But here are a couple of the most common signs a pest control extermination look for in Bloomington.
- You can see the pest. The most common reason people discover they have a pest problem in Bloomington is simply by observing it. It could be a mouse in your house, cockroaches skittering when you turn on the lights, or a swarm of hornets around a nest. In any case, it’s time to get rid of pests!
- Signs of activity. Pests are adept at hiding from us, so you won’t always spot them. Instead, you might notice signs of their presence such as rodent droppings or small piles of “saw dust” resulting from termite or carpenter ant activity.
What You Need to Know About Pests
- Pests come in a large variety. In Bloomington, the most common kinds of pests you’ll see around your home include:
- Pests find their way in through any open, unsealed space. This includes cracks in the wood and gaps in the window or old weather stripping. It’s important to get help from a professional exterminator because, depending on the species, they may create nests, contaminate food and water in your kitchen and bathroom, or cause damage to the inside of walls, electrical wiring, or other parts of the house.
- While some pests can cause home damage, many carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans. You must control mosquitoes and rodents as they are the most notorious for this.
- Spiders and wasps are famous for their venomous bite and painful sting. Extreme cases of spider bites or wasp stings can cause life-threatening reactions and hospitalization.
Helpful Bloomington Pest Prevention Tips
- Seal cracks to prevent intrusion.
- Clean baseboards, cabinets, and countertops regularly.
- Store all food in airtight containers.
- Never leave food (including pet food) outside.
- Clear all debris, tools, garbage.
