Typical Rosemont Pest Control Problems

Located just minutes from O’Hare International Airport, Rosemont is often the first taste of Chicago that travelers get. There’s plenty to see, and even more to do in Rosemont. From the entertainment district to the great food, Rosemont is a great place to live. The only downside? The bugs. Like much of Illinois, Rosemont is rich with rivers and lakes that create breeding grounds for mosquitoes. After hatching, every summer the mosquitoes make their way into residential neighborhoods, and can completely ruin any outdoor summer gathering for homeowners. 

If not exterminated, mosquitoes will continue to multiply and continue their blood feasts. White their bites usually cause unpleasant but harmless and itchy bumps, they can still be a cause for concern. Mosquitoes can carry diseases like the West Nile virus, Vika virus, Chikungunya virus, dengue, and malaria. It’s better to be safe when dealing with mosquitoes and eliminate them.

As if the mosquitoes aren’t enough, wasps also flourish in the Rosemont area, especially during the summer months. There are a variety of wasps in the area, from the small, aggressive yellow jacket to the larger, equally angry bald-faced hornet. Their fierce stings can cause serious pain and swelling to both humans and animals. If you have a nest on your property, call the professionals at Fox Pest Control to take care of them.

Rosemont homeowners should be on the lookout for nests, or areas where these pests can move in. Our Rosemont pest control experts know that cracked siding, holes in trees, or low traffic areas around the home such as sheds and garages make perfect locations for wasps to move in. Wasp traps, whether from the store or homemade, can be effective in preventing wasps to a point, but if the infestation becomes severe, hire local pest control to handle the problem for you. To build a DIY wasp trap for cheap, cut a 2 liter bottle just below the neck, and invert the neck into the bottle to create a funnel. Fill the bottle with a sugary substance like jam or soda, water, and a few drops of dish soap. The soap will break surface tension and prevent wasps from flying out. Dump out and refill the trap as needed, and if a week passes without any new wasps, you have most likely gotten rid of the Rosemont wasp infestation for the time being.

If you see any nests around your yard, please do not try to remove them yourself as this can be very dangerous. It is best practice to hire Rosemont pest control professionals to take care of them for you.

Whether it’s mosquitoes, wasps, or other irritating pests, Fox Pest Control takes pride in finding the problem and eradicating it to keep you and your family safe and pest-free.
