Rodents, Rodents Everywhere.

If it has not happened yet, it certainly will soon.  It is time for the annual mouse invasion as these nasty rodents seek shelter when Chicagoland’s weather changes.  Let’s be diligent and detect any sign of these pests before they storm the castle!  At A Complete Pest Solution, we want you to be aware of the signs of early mouse infestation.

 Here are some of them –

1.  Droppings

2.  The scent of urine

3.  Holes that have been gnawed

4.  Runways and nests

5.  Noises

You may also notice that your beloved dog or cat is not behaving in a normal manner.  They tend to pick up on these things long before we do.  A Complete Pest Solution to the rescue!  We have been eliminating rodents in Chicagoland for many years and, hopefully we continue to be your first choice for mouse control.  Call us at (630) 464-1542

The Sting.

With apologies to the early 1970’s motion picture this sting may be far more impactful to you and your family.  Yellow jackets are very common at this time throughout Chicagoland. These are the 1/2-inch long, yellow and black banded wasps.  Many people refer to them as bees…which they are NOT!

Yellow jacket queens live in nests that are made of paper.  They construct these nests by scraping the surface wood off dead tree limbs and unpainted fences, mixing it with their saliva and applying it into place with their jaws.  There nests are similar to the bald-faced hornet which you would find hanging from a tree branch.

Whatever challenge that you have with winged predators this time of year there is one name to remember.  That is A Complete Pest Solution.  For more details on yellow jackets visit www.waspsolutions.net.  Kurt and his crew have removed unwanted invaders of every type for decades around Suburban Chicago.  Call him today at (630) 464-1542.

The Annual Paper Wasp Invasion.

That does not sound too scary…does it?  We know that a “paper tiger” is harmless, but not so much a paper wasp.  So, what is it anyway?  They are unsightly and WILL sting, believe me!  Their nests are found in overhangs and sheds throughout Chicagoland.  They are so-named because these nests are made of a gray paper-like material.

Paper wasps are considered beneficial because they assist in pollination and they control pest insect populations by feeding them to their larvae.  In spite of their ecological benefits, paper wasp nests should not be permitted to develop in or near your home.  Stings from paper wasps are extremely painful and may produce serious reactions to people who are allergic to the venom.

Fight back against a paper wasp invasion of your property.  Call the pros at A Complete Pest Solution.  And, for more information on the elimination of this and other summertime pests in our area visit www.waspsolutions.net.  Kurt and his team are at the ready to control the bee and wasp populations around your home.  Call today at (630) 464-1542.

School is almost back in session and there are some dates that should be marked on your calendar.

Beware the Bald Faced Hornet.

It even sounds scary doesn’t it?  No one wants to get close enough to see its face anyway, but know this…it is possibly the most dangerous of all wasp breeds that annually invade Chicagoland.  The sting is exceptionally painful and in some of our Northern Illinois residents it can be a very serious health hazard!

So, what do they look like?  They are black and white striped.  What about their nest?  It looks like a large, ominous teardrop.  Where do you find the nest?  Look for it under the eaves of your home or, perhaps hanging from a tree.  It probably goes without saying but, for heaven’s sake DO NOT approach the nest!

At the first sign of this dangerous winged adversary please call us.  We are A Complete Pest Solution serving all of Chicagoland in the elimination of wasps and bees from your property.  Please visit www.waspsolutions.net for more details on a variety of winged summer invaders.  Give us a call for fast, guaranteed service at (630) 464-1542.
