    Types of Invading Ants

    In Illinois, there are four primary types of ants that tend to make their ways into homes and infest our pantries and walls. These four ants are:

    Argentine Ants

    These ants are not native to the United States, but they are extremely adaptable and can live almost anywhere indoors or outdoors. Their colonies consist of several thousand members and they are extremely proficient reproducers. Argentine ants are also one of the most common pest problems in all of Illinois.

    Carpenter Ants

    These ants aren’t typically aiming for your pantry, but rather for your home as a whole. Carpenter ants are wood boring insects, similar to termites, that drill through wooden structures to make their nest. Unlike other wood boring insects, carpenter ants do not actually consume the wood, however, this doesn’t mean that the damage is any less severe when they’ve found their way into your walls.

    Odorous Ants

    True to their names, odorous ants emit a poignant smell. The scent is often described as a strong rotten coconut-like odor and is released when an ant is crushed. Thankfully, odorous ants are not physically dangerous (they do not bite nor sting), nor do they cause structural damage by boring through wood, but they can be extremely annoying and stinky!

    Pavement Ants

    Pavement ants are also very representative of their names as they tend to construct their nests under floors, cracks, and even sidewalks. Like most ants, they are avid foragers that will invade homes in search of any food sources they can find.

    Ending Ant Problems

    One of the reasons that inspections are so important when it comes to pest control lies in the fact that different treatments better target specific pests. Our highly trained technicians can identify which of the above ants are plaguing you and then formulate a plan to best solve your particular pest problem.

      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.
