Pest Control & Exterminator FAQ – Glen Ellyn, IL
Can I take care of the pests on my own?
There are many pests that are nearly impossible to eliminate without the help of a professional exterminator. Termites, ants, ticks, fleas, carpenter ants, and bed bugs are all among the pests that are extremely difficult and time-consuming to root out of a home without the proper extermination knowledge, equipment, and experience.
Why do I need a Glen Ellyn Area pest control service?
Extermination professionals have the proper training and certification to get rid of pests that spread diseases, cause home damage, and cause emotional distress, including mosquitoes, ticks, termites, carpenter ants, cockroaches, and bed bugs.
Most Glen Ellyn Area pest problems cannot be thoroughly controlled without years of pest control experience. The products available for purchase at your local hardware store just aren’t as effective as our integrated pest management techniques that safely use professional products and also take pest behavior into account.
Are pesticides dangerous for the environment?
Responsible companies like Fox Pest Control use products that are proven to get rid of pests while also being environmentally responsible.
Are pesticides illegal?
Pesticides that are reviewed and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are not illegal as long as they are used according to the label instructions.
Are Fox’s products safe for families, children, and pets?
Our environmentally-friendly products are uniquely designed to get rid of pests while also allowing you to enjoy the comfort and safety of your home. Our pest control products are designed to be child and pet friendly.
What pest control products does Fox use in Glen Ellyn Area?
We combine modern Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques with a variety of environmentally responsible products. Since each situation — and each pest — is different, we make adjustments accordingly. Contact us for a list of products used during your service call.
How long do your products work?
For up to three months after the application, any bugs, insects, or other pests that come across the area will be exterminated. You can rest easy knowing we are controlling the bugs so you can focus on what matters most to you.
Do your technicians need to come inside my house for each application?
During your first service for our standard Home Protection Plan (HPP), we treat the inside of your home to help root out any pests inside. We won’t need to treat the inside of your home again unless you specifically request an inside service.
Do you offer free treatments between services if pest activity comes back?
Yes. Each Home Protection Plan (HPP) comes with our Fox Money-Back Guarantee. Call our customer service representatives to let us know if pests come back between your regular services, and we will come back to treat the pests again, free of charge.
How often do you come to treat my house in Glen Ellyn Area?
For the standard Home Protection Plan, we plan to service the outside of your Glen Ellyn Area home on a seasonal basis (roughly once every three months).
Do I need to be home in order for you to service my house?
As long as our technicians have full access to your front and back yard, no one needs to be at home if we are doing a standard pest control treatment of the home’s exterior. However, if you specifically request pest control treatment for the interior of your home, an adult must be present before our technician can enter.
When should I start pest control?
Now is the best time to consider hiring Fox Pest Control to exterminate pests, because it’s not a question of if, but when the pests will invade the wall voids, the space inside soffits or eaves, gutters, cracks in the siding, and eventually make their way to the house.
What is the benefit of a pest control service in Glen Ellyn Area?
Professional Glen Ellyn Area pest control services can save both time and money. Since do-it-yourself methods aren’t effective over the long term, a homeowner can spend endless amounts of time using ineffective methods. Pests like termites and carpenter ants can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in home repair costs that are not covered by insurance.
Why does cleaning help prevent pests?
As long as the home has food, water, and shelter, pests are just as attracted to a clean home as they are to a dirty one. When insects have infested a house, cleaning and thorough sanitation techniques root them out of their hiding places and destroy their eggs. However, cleaning inside doesn’t necessarily stop the bugs on the outside from thinking about wanting to come in. That’s where Fox Pest Control can really help.
Which pests can spread diseases?
Rodents, mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas can spread nasty diseases including West Nile virus, babesiosis, rickettsiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Fever, Typhus, the bubonic plague, Tularemia, Malaria, and much more.
Which pests are the most dangerous?
Many people in Glen Ellyn Area are stung by insects like wasps every year. Some people are allergic to these stings. Because their stinger isn’t barbed, wasps, bumblebees, and some carpenter bees are capable of stinging multiple times.
Do Glen Ellyn Area, IL pest control treatments harm the environment?
All our products are formulated and proven by the EPA to be the environmentally responsible choice for effective pest control.
Does Fox use organic pest control treatments in Glen Ellyn Area?
Fox offers organic exterminator treatment products upon customer request. Please speak with our customer service representatives for further details.
Which pest is the hardest to get rid of?
There are several pests that are difficult to exterminate and control without professional help because they hide effectively, reproduce quickly, and are extremely hardy. Cockroaches, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, and termites are among the most difficult pests to eradicate.
Why do pests come back every year? How do insects survive the winter?
Many insects find a warm place to hide, such as the wall voids of your house. They go into a type of hibernation called diapause until spring.
Other insects lay eggs that survive the winter and hatch when the weather warms.
Why do I need pest treatments from Fox Pest Control in Glen Ellyn Area during the winter?
Pests survive the winter by finding a hiding place in your house or by laying eggs that withstand the cold.
At any time during the cold months, the area could suddenly warm up, which will activate the pests. Our winter treatments will catch and exterminate these pests before they can become a problem again in the spring.
What sorts of pests are active during the winter in Glen Ellyn Area, IL? What problems do they cause?
Mice and rat problems reach their peak during the coldest months of the year, which is another reason to treat your Glen Ellyn Area home during the winter. Rats and mice can sometimes bring other pests to your home, even during the winter, including ticks and fleas.

Fox Pest Control Glen Ellyn Area Reviews
Vikks Khanna
This was our first time engaging a pest control company. We are highly impressed with quality of Fox pest control service. They do a thorough examination around the house, clean and apply. Most importantly courteous and clear communication. Keep up the good work.
Ashley Granger
We just had our visit from Fox Pest Control. Adam was very professional and courteous. He went and sprayed all the baseboards and sprayed all outside. He even took down a wasp nest that was starting that we had no idea about. He gave us a lot of information about our ant problem and about the other bugs that we see sometimes too. Overall very good first experience with this company.
To ensure our customer's safety, we insist on a thorough screening process for all Fox Pest Control Technicians. They also complete extensive training in the classroom and on the job with an experienced mentor before servicing alone.
