Typical Elk Grove Village Pest Control Problems
Home to O’Hare International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the country, Elk Grove Village is one of very few planned communities in the area. The Village is bordered on the north by the Busse Woods, a 3,558 acre nature preserve. This close proximity to nature is a rarity in the Chicago area, making Elk Grove Village an ideal location to live. Unfortunately, the preserve also creates the right conditions for plenty of summer-time pests like mosquitoes, wasps, and other flying insects. Mosquitoes are a particularly large problem for Elk Grove Village homeowners, as they invade backyards and ruin summer evenings.
In addition to being an irritating pest, mosquitoes can be a serious health concern as they have been known to carry many diseases. Malaria, West Nile Virus and Zika Virus are just a few that have life threatening implications. While malaria rarely originates in the United States, there are over 2,000 cases reported annually, and if any of these already infected individuals are bitten by a mosquito, the disease could spread rapidly throughout the area.
Elk Grove Village pest control picks up again when the temperatures drop in the fall and winter as rodents begin to infest homes in search of food and shelter. Mice and rats are able to squeeze through small spaces to get into your home, and checking the perimeter of your home for any gaps or cracks can go a long way in preventing a rodent infestation in your Elk Grove Village home this winter. Older homes are especially susceptible to rodent infestations, where they can get into basements and crawl spaces easily. There’s plenty for Elk Grove-area homeowners to be concerned with. This is where Fox Pest Control can help. Our team of licensed Elk Grove pest control technicians know exactly what to do to keep you and your family pest free.
