Warmer Weather May Mean Lyme Disease.

Believe me, we are all sick of winter.  While it has not been quite as harsh in Chicagoland this season we are all ready to shed those winter clothes and “get out of the cabin”.  It will still be a little while for we humans, but you can be sure that the bugs are more than ready to come out of their hibernation.

Infections from bug bites seem to increase every spring.  Take Lyme disease for instance.  In recent years the number of cases has doubled in Illinois.  Those nasty ticks are coming out earlier, staying longer, and inflicting more punishment.  More than half of the ticks tested in the Chicago area have been reported to carry the disease.

Lyme disease is a very serious issue.  It is not just an irritant…if untreated it can actually be deadly!  It can develop over several stages and make us sicker and sicker.  To avoid all of this make sure that ticks around your home are under control.  Contact Kurt Spurgeon of A Complete Pest Solution (630) 464-1542.  We are Chicagoland’s tick control experts.

Landlords and Bed Bugs.

If you manage and/or own a building with tenants bed bugs should always be on your mind.  Residents come and go, but these tiny, nasty, creatures stay behind to bite the newbies.  Since bed bugs feed on blood they will feast on whomever is living in that apartment.  Just so you know, bed bugs can be seen with the naked eye.

If you rent furnished apartments bed bugs are found just about everywhere.  They are in mattresses, furniture, clothing, etc.  They enter through tiny cracks in walls and doors as well as ceilings.  Bed bug bites will result in your residents having swelling, itching, and redness.  Once you have been informed about this infestation you must act immediately.

In Chicagoland, landlords have learned to count on A Complete Pest Solution.  They are the Chicago area’s bed bug controller and eliminator.  Kurt will not only remove these nasty creatures, but give you tips on how to keep them away with his regular maintenance schedule.  Call A Complete Pest Solution today at (630) 464-1542.

What Do You Know About Bed Bugs?

You might think, hey I keep a clean house, wash my sheets regularly, etc.  There is no way I could have bed bugs.  Let me ask you this.  Did you travel over the holidays or early this year?  If you did then somebody else’s bed bugs may have hitched a ride home with you.  It happens all the time.  Now you have these nasty pests as well.

Bed bugs have no wings so they can only travel attached to something…like your suitcase or your clothing.  Sorry about this, but they feed on blood.  If you CAN see one it looks a bit like an apple seed.  A normal adult bed bug is big enough to be seen with the naked eye.  Also, never take something out of the trash and put it in your home!

Be that as it may, households that pride themselves in their cleanliness may become warm winter homes for bed bugs.  Don’t make the mistake of thinking you are immune especially if you have traveled recently.  Call Chicagoland bed bug exterminator A Complete Pest Solution and let Kurt free you of these pests at (630) 464-1542.

Watch the Wood.

I know, it’s the dead of winter and you are not yet concerned about warm weather pest control.  Would you do yourself a favor?  Take a look out at your backyard.  There are trees and shrubs and generally lots of wood.  Wood is like sirloin for some critters.  Eventually you will need to “protect your wood”.

At some point you may very well be battling termites, carpenter ants, and powderpost beetles.  Where do you think those termites are spending the winter?  I guarantee you it is NOT Aruba!  The problem may be closer than you think and a complete home inspection as well as preventative maintenance may not be far off.

In Chicagoland there is a real professional on call who loves to roll up his sleeves and save wood.  His name is Kurt Spurgeon.  Kurt is the owner of A Complete Pest Solution.  When he and his crew eliminate these pests it is safe, environmentally friendly, and guaranteed.  For a complete solution to those wood eaters call A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.

Environmentally Safe Pest Control.

These days we hear about “going green”.  It has never been more important to be sure that when you hire a service that it is provided with the environment in mind.  Pest control is a perfect example of that.  In the old days spraying was done without much, if any, concern about its effect on the people and the animals around the area.

It is quite different these days.  Whether you own a home or a business large or small the mission is the same…get rid of the multi-legged pests while protecting loved ones and employees.  This time of year with Chicagoland coming out of its first deep freeze of the winter that may not be on your mind, but you should plan for preventative pest control in 2017.

Did you think that because we just endured below zero temperatures that all the creepy crawlers would never come back when the spring warm-up begins?  You know better than that.  Now, when things are relatively quiet, is a perfect time to call Kurt at A Complete Pest Solution.  Put a pest control plan together now for your home or office in Chicagoland by calling (630) 464-1542.

‘Tis the Season to Be Pest Free.

Isn’t it always the season to be free of pests in Chicagoland?  Did you think that they all flew to Miami for the winter?  Some of them may be dormant, but trust and believe they will be back with great hunger and purpose in 2017.  Just as you budget for many other things in your personal and business life pest control should be on that list.

You should have year-round protection from unwanted guests that invade your home or office.  No…not Aunt Martha and her annual fruitcake!  You’ll just have to deal with that one.  What you are looking for is quarterly protection against invaders such as mice, cockroaches, ants, spiders, etc.  Peace on earth…and in your home.

Throughout 2017, whether it is an emergency or just good old-fashion pre-planning you can always count on A Complete Pest Solution.  Kurt and his team will be there for preventative and spur-of-the-moment pest control.  They have been your Chicagoland pest solution for a long time.  Happy holidays from Kurt and all of the people at A Complete Pest Solution serving Chicagoland at (630) 464-1542

Commercial Pest Control in 2017.

As you plan your business budget for the upcoming year do not forget to include pest control.  You will need to keep the beasts out 12 months a year...no not the difficult customers.  The truth is your business may have problems with bugs, mice, bees, and even birds.  If you own a restaurant your very survival depends on a “clean slate”.

Commercial pest control is different from home protection in that it is vitally important to keep the area bug free ALL of the time.  You can’t explain to a freaked out diner why she just saw a mouse run across the floor.  If you have a professional troubleshoot the potential problem on a monthly basis you will not have to do damage control later.

Never let a customer see a rodent or bug in your Chicagoland business.  Call a professional in December to help avoid that fate.  The right man for the job is Kurt Spurgeon, the owner of A Complete Pest Solution.  He is your Chicagoland year round commercial pest control expert.  Call Kurt before your business becomes a 2017 hangout for unwanted pests at (630) 464-1542.
