The Insect Pressure in Elgin’s Environment
Elgin’s beautiful historic neighborhoods and proximity to the Fox River make it a hotspot for insect activity. The blend of old wood structures and riverbank ecosystems leads to year-round pest issues.
Common Insects We Manage in Elgin:
- ✔ Carpenter ants in older wood structures
- ✔ Mosquitoes and midges along the Fox River
- ✔ Spiders and silverfish in basements
- ✔ Wasps and hornets nesting under eaves and decks
Our insect control programs are designed for both preventive care and emergency infestations.
