Tips for Keeping Pests Out of Chicago Homes

Learning about what attracts pests and making a few changes in your habits are the first steps toward keeping them away. You can start by making sure that all pantry foods are stored in airtight containers—glass or metal—that bugs can’t sneak into. Set a schedule to vacuum and sweep as often as possible to pick up crumbs that attract rodents and insects.

Compost Tips for Chicago Homes

Does your family compost? Over 30% of all household waste in the U.S. is organic material, and composting is a great way to reduce that amount. Unfortunately, it can also increase the risk of attracting insects and rodents. To avoid a serious pest problem, follow these tips for safe composting:

Compost Tips for Chicago Homes (Cont'd)

If you’re composting outside, bury the material at least a few inches in the ground to make it less accessible to rodents. If you use a bin, block the opening with wire, sticks or rocks. Pouring a layer of dirt or dried leaves over the composting material can also help mask its strong smell and avoid attracting pests.

Pests Active in Spring in Chicago

Springtime pests in Chicago include bees, ants and other insects that overwintered during the cold months. Wasps and rodents also tend to become more active as they reemerge at this time. Clean your kitchen and eating areas carefully, as these pests will be hungry and searching for food.

Pests Active in Summer in Chicago

Earwigs are frequently a problem pest in the summer. High humidity and standing water attract these nocturnal pests to bathrooms, basements and other damp areas. Crickets can also become a problem during the summer, producing a lot of noise and, if they enter homes, potentially eating clothing or other fabric.

Pests Active in Fall in Chicago

Rodents can be a particularly dangerous pest as the weather cools. Mice and rats, signalled by the shortening days, look for ways into homes for winter shelter. Rodents nesting in a house’s walls can chew through wiring and destroy furniture. Cockroaches are generally active all year but, like other pests, there’s an increased risk for infestations when it’s cold.

Pests Active in Winter in Chicago

While rodents look for tiny holes to squeeze into homes and ants might find shelter in cracks in a home’s foundations, spiders prefer building webs in dark corners (attics and closets, for example) and areas near windows and doors. Spiders can be beneficial, as they help control insect populations, but few people want these pests spending the winter in their homes.
