Did you know that termites date back more than 120 million years? The most commonly found termites in Northern Illinois are subterranean termites, who build nests underground around areas with good food sources; that is, moist wood. Unlike carpenter ants who create tunnels in wood but eat other things, termites feed on wood. They can leave large wood beams hollow, rendering them dangerous and weak. Termites find their way into your home looking for food. People report seeing "swarms" of flying insects in or around their home in springtime.
Cockroaches are more than nuisances, although they are really a nuisance! They spread disease that can cause food poisoning and asthma. As licensed pest control professionals, we use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to locate, eliminate and prevent further infestations. The most common cockroach in Northern Illinois is the German cockroach. Frequently found in kitchens, they have a great ability to hide. They emerge only for food and to mate. They reproduce rapidly. Oriental cockroaches are the water bugs you may see in basements and crawl spaces.
Common types of wasps in our area include mud daubers, yellow jackets, hornets, cicada killers, great black, digger and paper wasps. Wasps are social insects who build nests resembling paper where they live in colonies. Paper wasps are common around houses and other structures. There nest is a single comb of hexagonal cells made of a papery material the wasps form by chewing wood and mixing it with saliva. It can house up to 75 wasps. Yellowjackets and hornets build large nests in areas such as attics, crawl spaces and voids between walls.
Unlike bumblebees, these do not have yellow hairs on their abdomen. That's one way to determine if you have carpenter bees. The other way is to see where they're hanging out. Yes, they do eat pollen and nectar from flowers, but they also are attracted to wood around your home, such as eaves and soffits near your roofline, piles of wood around your home, fences, decks, sheds, and wood siding. They bore holes in the wood, causing damage. They make a buzzing noise which you may notice. While stinging is rare, it can happen and may cause a bad allergic reaction.

The calls are flooding in from people all over the Greater Chicagoland area needing pest control for mice. Its mouse season. While there is no 100% effective way to prevent a mouse infestation in your home, there are some things you can do to make it harder for mice to get in your home. Solution: Keep them all in containers. Ive been in many homes and have seen mice chewing through bags of grass seed as well as bird and dog food in garages. Keep all food away from mice by sealing it in plastic containers.
Wait, pest control companies dont handle head lice, do they? No, we do not. Unfortunately, its not as easy as just calling the exterminator when a child brings home head lice. However, it never fails. We do get calls for lice at the beginning of the school year, and we always direct them to their family physicians for guidance. However, as a father of 6, (4 girls in there) I used to love/hate back to school time for many of the same reasons most parents do. Elementary school was the worst! For some reason, I could never get my words, advice, orders, to reach and stick into those tiny developing brains of my children.
Commercial properties require ongoing maintenance and prevention of insects and pests. Men In Black Pest Control Services treats commercial properties with a systematic extermination and decontamination prevention program to maximize pest control while maintaining a safe environment for employees and customers. Our technicians are required to pass at least one state exam and become licensed to treat your pest control needs, so you know you're in capable hands. Food-based businesses, including restaurants and food processing businesses, as well as schools, healthcare facilities, hotels and other commerce where food is handled and served, require protection from crawling insects such as ants, roaches and spiders, and other invaders such as fleas, mice or other vermin.
When a homeowner calls about bed bugs, we react quickly. Our technicians conduct a thorough investigation to determine if bed bugs are present and to assess the damage. Following elimination of the bugs in the primary area, the technician inspects and treats the surrounding areas, including multifamily properties, to help prevent spreading. The idea of bed bugs makes everyone twitch - for good reason. These scroungers can come into a clean and otherwise bug free house. How? They hitch a ride on luggage, used furniture, even clothing.
Each year, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage. But termite damage or treatment is not covered under most home insurance. That why, when selling a property, many clients are required to have a Wood Destroying Insect (WDI) report as part of their home inspection. A Wood Destroying Insect Report is required for VA and FHA loans. Although a WDI inspection typically looks for termites, carpenter ants, carpenter bees and powder post beetles, and all common wood-destroying insects, it's typically referred to as a termite inspection.
