Do I Need Pest Control in the Winter?

Winter is about to hit with full force.  Did you think that every creepy, crawly thing was just going to “head south of the winter”?  These pests are not birds.  Make no mistake about it, they are still around invading your home and your business.  Mice and other creatures are looking for a warm, secure place to spend the next 4 months.

We would like to remind you about a couple of things you may not have considered.  Since many pests live on branches and leaves you want to keep these objects off of your home or office.  Fallen leaves and branches should be kept several feet away from actually touching your building.  Look for any drafts or leaks.  Those are pathways for pests.

If you see a bug or spider or mouse around your Chicagoland home or business call a professional immediately.  The right man for the job is Kurt Spurgeon.  As the owner of A Complete Pest Solution he is your Chicagoland year around pest control expert.  Call Kurt before your home becomes a winter haven for unwanted pests at (630) 464-1542.  

There’s a Spider in my House.

I doubt that anyone thinks that spiders are a decorative addition to your home.  Maybe the exotic ones in terrariums are the exception to the rule.  Creepy, crawly, arachnids hiding in the corners are not something you wish to tolerate!  As the weather gets colder they look for refuge.  Your home does not have to be their Chicagoland haven again this winter.

Females of some species are up to 2 or 3 inches in length.  If you care to know, their bodies are divided into two segments…the abdomen and the cephalothorax.  And no, just in case you were too embarrassed to ask, the common household spider does not have wings.  It cannot migrate through your castle unless it crawls from point A to point B.

The point of all this is that we can all handle one or two of them, but when you see them all over the place you need to call a professional to eradicate these creatures.  The right man for the job is Kurt Spurgeon.  As the owner of A Complete Pest Solution he is your Chicagoland spider removal expert.  Call Kurt at (630) 464-1542 before your home becomes a giant nest.

Humans vs. Cockroaches.

They were here before we were and everybody agrees they will still be here long after we are extinct.  They are the seemingly indestructible cockroaches of the world.  If you have never seen a cockroach then you have never paid taxes.  Chicagoland is not an island and is subject to its share of these nasty, dirty, ubiquitous pests.

If you see even one cockroach I guarantee you that its relatives are not far behind.  These critters are communal…not loners!  Here is what they are doing right now as mid-autumn/winter approaches.  They are nesting in your home or business.  They don’t like Chicagoland’s harsh winters any more than we do and they are finding FOOD and shelter.

Would you like to rid your home or office free of cockroaches now and throughout the winter?  Of course you would.  That is why people have called A Complete Pest Solution for decades.  Kurt and his team are professional cockroach exterminators.  Call your pest control experts A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.  We don’t need no stinkin’ cockroaches!

Don’t Share Your House with a Mouse.

Words to live by in Chicagoland I should say!  House mice are very easy to identify, not always so easy to eradicate.  In case you have just moved to the area or have tried to forget over the last year, house mice are gray or brown and between five and eight inches (including their nasty tails).  They weigh less than an ounce so, obviously they are NOT rats.

Here is the real problem…they breed like well, mice!  In the course of a year one female critter is capable of having 50 offspring or more.  You won’t have any trouble noting if you have a mouse infestation.  Look for droppings or finely shredded material that they use to build their nests.  Listen for sounds in the walls, especially at night as they are nocturnal.

At the very first sign of any rodent occupation of your home or business you need an expert to eliminate them.   The first and only call you will need to make is to A Complete Pest Solution.  Kurt will find the source and eliminate rats and mice where they enter your home.  Call your Chicagoland rodent removal experts A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.  No mouse in this house!

EEEEEK!

If you are not prepared, then be ready to jump on a chair!  What?  Well, if you don’t like the regular fall invasion of mice in Chicagoland then you had better be ready to cower from them or combat them.  It happens every Autumn…the rodents look for somewhere to hibernate during the upcoming colder Chicagoland months ahead.

Do you live near a field in the suburbs?  Whether you do or not those little “eeekers” will find their way into your home if you give them an invitation.  This is not like the bee and wasp problem you may have had this summer.  These creatures are dirty, nasty, and sometimes disease-ridden.  They need to be eliminated once and for all!

For complete eradication of rodents, you need to get to the source.  A Complete Pest Solution finds that source and eliminates rats and mice where they enter.  It takes a real pro with decades of experience to keep you pest free this fall.  Call your Chicagoland mouse removal experts -  A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.  Besides, it hurts your throat to scream, “EEEEEK!!”

Insects in Autumn.

Ah, the cooler temperatures, the trees are about to show off their true beauty, and a new invasion of pests!  What?! Autumn pests in Chicagoland?  That’s right, if you take a look around your home inside and out you will find a variety of insects that are coming indoors this fall.  What should you look for and how do you combat them?

Did you know that insects may actually communicate to other similar critters when they find a safe and secure nesting place from tumbling temperatures?  Warning - if you have vinyl siding around your house the bugs love to gather underneath it.  Any small crack or crevice is a welcome mat for some pest as well.  Also, check around your windows for any signs of infestation.

By no means is the end or summer the end of the insects.  It is most important to get them off of your home or building before they spread.  To protect your home or business against insects and other critters don’t just hope they will go away.  Immediately call A Complete Pest Solution at (630) 464-1542.  We are Chicagoland’s insect pest control experts!
