Typical Lombard Pest Control Problems
As one of the many large suburbs of Chicago, Lombard is densely populated and rich with parks like Terrace View Park, Madison Meadow, and Lagoon Park. The area retains the feeling of a close neighborhood without being too far from big city life. Unfortunately, these attractive features are also ideal for pests like rodents, ants, and wasps.
Like the rest of the greater Chicago area, Lombard has consistent humidity throughout the year, which makes the perfect conditions for pests of all kinds. Other features that encourage pest activity include the various natural and decorative ponds like the water traps in Lagoon Park and the water at Madison Meadow.
These conditions are ideal areas for ants. Pavement (sugar) ants, odorous house ants, pharaoh ants, and carpenter ants are just a few species that regularly invade homes in the area. Of these species, carpenter ants have the greatest potential to destroy homes by carving tunnels through wooden parts of the home — wall studs, support beams, and other structural features are all at risk. Carpenter ants can remain undetected in a home for as many as 8 to 10 years before they are discovered and treated.
Rodents usually come out in full force during the colder months. Since mice and rats can squeeze their bodies through unusually small holes, it’s entirely possible and highly likely that they will make their way indoors. Once inside, they can chew and tear through food, insulation, and clothing. It’s important to catch them as soon as possible. Call Fox Pest Control right away if you expect a rodent or ant infestation.
