Pest Control Services in Macon County, IL

Illinois has four distinct seasons that provide an ideal environment for various critters to thrive. From the sweltering summer heat to the damp, chilly winters, these conditions can create breeding grounds for many unwanted critters. American Pest Control is well-versed in the breeding habits of each local pest species and has developed strategies to deal with them with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Ants: Despite their small size, ants can form massive colonies, especially during the warmer months. They can contaminate food and, in the case of carpenter ants, cause structural damage to your property.

Bed Bugs: “Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite.” These pesky insects are notorious for causing itchy, irritating bites and can spread rapidly. They hide in mattresses, furniture, and cracks, making them difficult to eliminate without professional help.

Cockroaches: These insects are not just a nuisance; they spread diseases and can trigger allergies and asthma. They thrive in warm, moist environments, which makes kitchens and bathrooms their favorite hideouts.

Flies: It’s hard to enjoy a meal with flies buzzing around. But flies are more than just annoying—they spread germs wherever they land. They’re attracted to food and waste, and their presence can become overwhelming if not addressed promptly.

Mice and Other Rodents: Have you spotted mysterious chew marks on your furniture or electrical wiring? If so, you might have a rodent problem. If left unchecked, mice and other rodents can cause costly property damage and pose health risks through their droppings and the diseases they carry.

Spiders: Many people have arachnophobia, and for good reason—spiders can be creepy. While most are harmless, species like the brown recluse and black widow can be dangerous. Moreover, spiders often indicate the presence of other pests, as they prey on insects.

Termites: Subterranean termites are silent destroyers. They often go unnoticed until they cause damage to wood items on your property. These pests can eat their way through the framework of your home, leading to costly repairs.

Wasps and Hornets: These winged insects can be aggressive, and their stings are painful. They build nests in sheltered areas around your home, posing a risk to you and your family.
