8 SIGNS YOU MAY NEED PEST CONTROL

Pests don't always announce themselves. πŸ­πŸ•·οΈπŸœ Sometimes the first signs are smallβ€”but catching them early can save you time, money, and stress.

πŸ”Ž **Watch for these warning signs:**

1️⃣ Seeing live pests inside your home
2️⃣ Droppings or small pellets
3️⃣ Chewed wood, wires, food, or other materials
4️⃣ Scratching, scurrying, or unusual noises at night
5️⃣ Nests, webs, or hidden pest activity
6️⃣ Damaged or contaminated food
7️⃣ Grease marks or dark smudges along walls and baseboards
8️⃣ Strange or unexplained odors

If you're noticing one or more of these signs, a professional inspection can help identify what's happening and where pests may be getting in.

⚠️ Don't wait until you have a full-blown infestation.

🚨 SPECIAL ALERT: ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITOES IN ILLINOIS 🦟

If you're getting bitten during the daytime, there's a mosquito you should know about.

The Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is established in Illinois and is known for aggressive daytime bitingβ€”especially in the morning and late afternoon. Unlike mosquitoes that depend on ponds or large bodies of water, this species can breed in surprisingly small amounts of stagnant water.

CHECK YOUR YARD FOR:
β€’ Flower pots & saucers
β€’ Buckets and toys
β€’ Clogged gutters
β€’ Old tires
β€’ Birdbaths
β€’ Anything else holding stagnant water

PROTECT YOUR YARD

βœ… Dump standing water regularly
βœ… Keep gutters clean and draining
βœ… Empty or cover water-holding containers
βœ… Keep screens in good repair
βœ… Use an EPA-registered repellent when appropriate

Even small amounts of water can provide breeding habitat, so eliminating water around your property can make a meaningful difference.

🐝 7 PLACES WASPS LOVE TO BUILD NESTS

Wasps don't always build their nests out in the open. Some of their favorite nesting spots are around your home, where they can stay protected from the weather and close to food sources.

πŸ”Ž Check these 7 areas:

1️⃣ Under eaves – Sheltered and protected from rain
2️⃣ Soffits & overhangs – Dark, quiet spaces are ideal
3️⃣ Attics & wall voids – Warm, hidden areas provide protection
4️⃣ Trees & bushes – Foliage provides cover and easy access to food
5️⃣ Decks & porches – Undersides offer shade and protection
6️⃣ Sheds & outbuildings – Quiet areas often go undisturbed
7️⃣ Playsets & backyard structures – Small cavities can make perfect nesting locations

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Wasps can become defensive when their nest is threatened. If you find a nest around your home, avoid disturbing it and consider professional removal.

πŸ‘€ Take a few minutes to inspect your property this weekend. Finding a nest early can help prevent a much bigger problem later.

🐭 DID YOU KNOW?

A house mouse can squeeze through an opening about the size of a dime! 😳

That tiny gap around a foundation, garage door, utility line, or vent may be all a mouse needs to get inside your home.

Once indoors, mice can:

🏠 Hide inside walls, attics, basements, and other hard-to-reach areas
⚑ Chew on wires and insulation
🍽️ Contaminate food and surfaces
πŸ’© Leave droppings and nesting materials behind
🐭 Quickly turn one unwanted visitor into a bigger problem

πŸ”Ž The takeaway:

If you can fit a pencil through a gap, it's worth taking a closer look. Sealing potential entry points before mice move in is one of the best ways to protect your home.

Think you might have mice?

**AUGUST PEST OUTLOOK | Janesville, WI**

August may feel like the end of summer, but for pests, the season is far from over. Warm days and cooler nights keep insects active while rodents begin searching for shelter before fall arrives.

Here's what homeowners around **Janesville** should watch for this month:

🐜 **Ants** – Colonies are still actively foraging for food and water.

πŸ•·οΈ **Spiders** – You'll likely notice more spiders around windows, doors, garages, and basements as they move indoors looking for prey and cooler spaces.

🐝 **Wasps & Yellow Jackets** – These become more aggressive in late summer as their colonies reach peak size. Be extra cautious around decks, eaves, and outdoor gatherings.

🐭 **Mice** – Now is the time they begin scouting homes for food, warmth, and shelter before cooler weather arrives.

βœ… **Protect your home this month by:**
β€’ Fixing outdoor leaks
β€’ Keeping shrubs and tree branches trimmed away from your home
β€’ Sealing cracks around doors, windows, and your foundation
β€’ Cleaning up food debris and keeping trash bins tightly closed

The best time to stop a pest problem is Before pests move in.

πŸ“ž If you've noticed increased pest activity around your home, schedule an inspection now and stay one step ahead this fall.

🐜 Most homeowners don't notice this... until it's too late.

If you see a trail of ants in your kitchen, the real problem usually isn't the ants you can see.

It's the thousands you can't.

Ants leave behind invisible scent trails that tell the rest of the colony exactly where to go. Wiping them away without eliminating the colony often means they'll be back again tomorrow.

Here's a quick test:
πŸ‘‡ Have you spotted ants in or around your home this summer?

πŸ”˜ Yes, inside the house
πŸ”˜ Yes, outside only
πŸ”˜ Not yet (hopefully it stays that way!)

Tell us in the comments where you've seen themβ€”kitchen, bathroom, garage, patio, or somewhere else. Your answer might help another homeowner recognize a problem before it gets worse.

πŸ’‘ Homeowner Tip: Keep tree branches trimmed away from your roofline and avoid leaving pet food or sugary spills overnight. These simple habits can make your home less attractive to ants.
