Not only was Peoria one of the easiest settlements in Middle America, but it was actually the first settlement of Europeans in Illinois. Initially settled by French explorers by the name of Fort Crevecoeur (Fort Broken Heart), Peoria quickly became a poplar hub for explorers, traders, and settlers alike due to being right off of the Illinois River/Peoria Lake.

Being located on a body of water makes Peoria naturally susceptible to some unwatered pests including: rodents, mosquitos, stink bugs, centipedes, ants, and more. Infestations can cause a grave amount of devastation and a costly amount of money in repairs. Mice for instance, can chew through wood, cardboard, plastic, and aluminum and rats can get into even more like rock, glass and harder metals. The best way to control a pest infestation is to catch the problem early, which is why you should be vigilant when looking for signs of pest infestations in your home. It is essential you check all nooks and crannies in and around your home, to prevent pests from entering your property. Here are some ways you can prevent pest from entering your home:

• Caulking around the house
• Dehumidifying the house
• Keeping the home nice and clean
• Proper disposal of food
• Removal of standing water
• Removing clutter & garbage
• Sealing cracks

Once you catch signs of an infestation, you need to contact our pest technicians immediately, so that they can begin the extermination process. We don’t just handle the pest problem, but ensure you don’t have to deal with another infestation in the future. 

We are serious about pest control, but we’re also serious about protecting the environment. When our technicians identify the pest, we use a targeted approach because we feel it is important to use the right amount of the correct chemicals rather than risking using something ineffective. In addition, we avoid using pesticides that are harmful to the environment.

Synthetic products contain toxins that can be just as harmful to you and your family as they are to your pests, not to mention they are drastically damaging to the environment. We take pride in our use of Integrated Pest Management, EcoSMART technologies, and EPA-approved products that are safe for both you and the environment, yet effectively handle all types of pest problems and infestations.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a technique utilized by pest control companies that involves several different methods of pest control. However, it is important to note that not every company using IPM is, in fact, employing environmentally friendly solutions, as we do at Pointe Pest Control, and instead use synthetic pesticides under the guise of IPM. When implemented correctly, IPM drastically reduces and can even completely eliminate the use of pesticides, resulting in less exposure to harmful pest control products for both you and the environment, as well as minimizing the amount of products that need to be used overall by 90%. At Pointe Pest Control, we use IPM to emphasize the importance of examining your unique situation in order to focus our efforts in an organized and efficient manner, thereby reducing the use of extraneous products and getting to the source of your pest issue.

Safe, effective and environmentally friendly – these are the cornerstones of our services at Point Pest Control. We’re easy on Mother Nature, but tough on pests. When we treat your home, you can be sure that you and your family are safe.
