    Upsetting Ants

    There are many different types of ants in Illinois but two of the most concerning ones in Farmer City are odorous ants and carpenter ants.

    Odorous ants earned their name due to the nasty scent that they release when squished. It is often described as a sickly-sweet rotten scent and it tends to be extremely poignant. These ants like to steal and eat sugary foods, which is concerning as they are dirty creatures and can contaminate your food. The most common sign of an odorous ant infestation is actually seeing the ants in your home, especially after rainfall. These ants are most likely to come out after wet conditions and are rarely seen in dry conditions. Luckily, odorous ants do not bite or sting but they can be dirty, extremely annoying, and especially smelly.

    Carpenter ants are even more concerning as they can slowly destroy your home. When carpenter ants make their way into your house, they will hang out in moist areas such as your windows, doors and porches. Similar to termites, they are wood boring insects that will tunnel and chew through your walls, floors, etc. However, unlike termites, they do not consume the wood, rather, they just chew through it and leave behind sawdust-like trails. This is often the easiest sign of a carpenter ant infestation and indicates that you need to immediately start treatments to avoid any further damage and weakening of your home.

      Understanding the Seasons

      Weather has a profound effect on pest life cycle. Most pests, rodents and insects breed aggressively during spring and go through periods of hibernation during autumn and winter.

      When the weather slowly begins to heat up, pests start to get more active after having stayed dormant over the colder winter months.

      • Birds often start to find mates and start building their nests.
      • Moths which consumer leaves usually become active again.
      • Flies often emerge from their winter hibernation places and start to breed and spread out.
      • Squirrels also spend the winter in hibernation. When spring approaches these creatures start looking for a new home. This is usually the time when they make their way into lofts and other spaces.

      Summer is arguably the best season for pests. It is the time when they are in full swing and breed as rapidly as they can. Wasps are one of the most common summer pests followed by flies and rodents. Many a summer picnics and BBQs have been ruined by the ‘home invasion’ of these pests.

      • Wasps build their nesting grounds and lay their eggs during this time. Although the creatures are not directly harmful, they can be very aggressive and territorial at this time of the year, because they’re at their strongest.
      • The number of fleas also multiplies. Since pets spend more time outdoors during summer, they are more likely to bring the pests back indoors with them.
      • Bees are also more active during summer as they go out to gather nectar. Many times, homeowners find a new beehive in their garden and require pest control to take care of it. Because of their sting, bees are more dangerous than some of the other pests and you should call our professional service to get rid of them.
      • Moths and flies usually start to multiply significantly during summer.
      • Ants begin to swarm to find new mates and start new colonies during summer.
      • Cockroaches become very noticeable in the summer, especially in the kitchen and toilets. This is due to the hotter temperatures and stronger smells.
      • Bedbugs are also very active in the summer.

      Autumn is the month when things start to get cooler. The number of pests starts to dwindle as they begin to slow down their breeding activities.

      • Wasps start becoming dozy and docile. You may find them buzzing around occasionally as if they are drunk. This is usually the end-time for their life.
      • Spiders in particular are more active at this time of the year.
      • Squirrels will gather their food and start to look for shelter.
      • The second breeding phase for flies begins. These pests remain active during the season.
      • Rodents also become more active. Due to the approaching cold, rodents usually find shelter inside homes in the loft or inside walls.

      The coldest months are when pests seek out warmth and shelter. You will find a number of insects especially rodents and lizards make their way inside your home.

      • Spiders come into our homes to escape the web-destroying frosts.
      • Rodents move indoors to escape the cold, increasing infestations.
      • In many cases, homeowners find squirrels nesting in lofts when they go to get their Christmas decorations.
