Common Midwest Household Pests
Pest Infestations may be a common issue for homeowners, but that doesn’t make them any less frustrating. Insects, spiders, and rodents are active throughout the year when they have their three necessities: food, water, and shelter. If a family of pests gets inside your home, they will never willingly leave.
Pest Problems Affecting Your Midwest Neighborhood
Ants
These insects leave a trail of pheromones (invisible scent chemicals) to lead the rest of their colony to a good source, so an infestation grows quickly.
Termites
Termites chew tunnels into wood to house their massive colonies, causing millions of dollars in structural damages every year.
Bed Bugs
As nocturnal bloodsucking pests, bed bugs leave us with irritated bites while they continuously produce eggs after each meal.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are most active in heat and humidity, when their infamously itchy bites are common due to the females laying eggs.
Mice
Rodents are one of the most frustrating pests because they constantly reproduce, chew through walls and wires, and contaminate every surface.
Roaches
These pests favor dark, damp spaces that hide their numbers while they scavenge for food and leave droppings wherever they travel.
Expect The Best From 5 Star Solutions
Since every pest problem is different, each treatment plan should be tailored to fit the needs of the customer – exactly what we do here at 5 Star Pest Solutions. We do not believe in using a “one-size-fits-all” approach to pest control. Instead, our highly-trained technicians use their findings from their initial inspection to create a personalized treatment plan to eliminate the current pests.
Some of the most frequent treatments we use include:
Cleaning out crawl spaces
These dark and isolated spaces make the perfect home to pests such as rodents, spiders, cockroaches, and termites. Sealing off crawl vents. Pests can invade through even the smallest of cracks, so it is essential to seal these points of entry.
Treating wood and foundation walls
Since pests invade from the outdoors, applying treatment to the walls is an efficient way to keep them away.
Sealing foundation walls, ground and piers
We seal foundation walls, ground, and piers with clear Nylon Reinforced Vapor Barrier to prevent infestations.
Installing a dehumidifier
Certain places in the home are prone to humidity and condensation build-up, so we focus on keeping these areas free of extra moisture.
De-webbing visible webs
We use an extension pole with a brush to remove visible webs along eaves, windows and doors.
Monitoring and applying traps
Traps and glue boards are effective against many pests, so our team monitors these areas for new activity.
