Mosquito Pest Control Illinois

Mosquitoes are annoying, but there’s much more to the irritating bugs than an itchy bite or a pestering buzz. They are the deadliest animal in the world, thanks to the dangerous viruses and parasites they can carry. This makes mosquito pest control all the more important in Illinois.

At American Pest Control, we know your home is your castle, and we’re here to help you protect it. We can manage any home pest problem to make you feel comfortable and safe in your house.

The Potential Dangers of Mosquitoes

While their life cycle is brief, mosquitoes can cause a lot of damage.

In the hunt for blood, mosquitoes can transmit diseases to humans, as well as dogs, cats, and horses. These diseases include:

West Nile Virus

The West Nile Virus (WNV) is “the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the U.S.” There are no vaccines or medications to treat WNV.

While most people, about 8 out of 10, infected do not develop any symptoms, 2 out of 10 will develop a fever with other symptoms like headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.

About 1 out of 150 infected people develops a serious illness that affects the central nervous system. Recovery from a severe illness can take several weeks or months, while some effects on the central nervous system can be permanent. Of those people who develop severe illness, about 1 out of 10 of them die.

Zika Virus

In 2016, the Rio Olympics were surrounded by news of a Zika outbreak. While it hasn’t gotten much publicity since, the disease is still around and poses a risk, as there is no vaccine or cure for Zika.

Zika infection during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects and other pregnancy problems.

Different forms of Encephalitis

While mosquito bites can cause a variety of forms of encephalitis (St. Louis Encephalitis, La Crosse Encephalitis, Japanese Encephalitis, Eastern Equine Encephalitis), the damage they cause is similar. Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can cause seizures, coma, movement disorders, and paralysis.

Mosquito Control in Illinois

When you have a mosquito infestation in Illinois, you need to contact the right experts. Our technicians know how to deal with any type of mosquito problem. We will work with you on treatment options to help you get rid of the problem. American Pest Control offers monthly mosquito service to keep your home and family safe all season long. We also provide one-time services for any special occasion in your life.

American Pest Control works to deliver the right products to the right places to make sure the mosquitoes are dealt with properly. This includes the strategic application of insecticide to areas of vegetation where mosquitoes breed. We combine this with the use of growth regulators to prevent the development of new mosquitoes.

Our technicians will also inspect your property and identify any areas where mosquitoes could be hiding. They will point out any standing water near your home, which could be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. This includes puddles, potholes, ditches, or any depressions in your yard. Stationary birdbaths or unused fountains can be a perfect place for mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Cleaning out your yard makes sure mosquitoes do not have a breeding ground, and will reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home. The best thing you can do to get rid of mosquitoes is to disrupt their lifecycle.

My experience with this company goes back decades. Their technicians are experienced, highly competent, friendly, considerate and a pleasure to have in your home. The job always gets done right, promptly and efficiently, respecting your privacy and needs. They have solved problems with household bugs, spiders, mice and even squirrels in the attic! Outdoor ground bees, paper wasps and bald faced wasps! Matt, our usual guy is just the best in all aspects. This is a locally owned and operated, stable company that is there when you need help. I recommend without hesitation.

It's always a wonderful experience when my technician, Todd, comes. He makes scheduling so easy, is always extremely prompt, and is happy to make helpful preventative recommendations. He is extremely friendly and very thorough- he tailors his applications to exactly what I want. He always makes it clear, that if I need help in between the regularly scheduled visits, he is happy to come back out to deal with any pests that pop up.....not surprisingly, I've never had any!

My wife made an appointment with American Pest Control, it was our first time using an exterminator. Chris arrived right on time, explained everything carefully, and answered my questions fully. He was very honest and informative, didn't try to upsell any services or sell me a contract, took his time spraying, and was here quite a while, doing a thorough job. I would be happy to use this business again in the future.
