Rodent Prevention Tips For Streator, IL Residents

Rodents like mice and rats are a problem no one can afford to have. Between their constant gnawing and the problems they leave behind (dead skin, droppings, and worse), Streator homeowners are always best off taking proactive steps to stop rodent infestations in their tracks before they become a serious problem. Here are some helpful tips you can use to minimize your exposure to rodents: 

• Store all food (including cat/dog food) in sealed containers

• Clean up any messes or spills immediately after they happen

• Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink overnight

• Vacuum and mop regularly 

• Trim back overgrown bushes and shrubs from the exterior of your home

• Make sure that all outdoor trash containers are kept at a distance from the exterior of your home and have locking lids

• Inspect the exterior of your home and fix, seal, or plug any openings

• Keep storage areas in your home organized and clutter-free

The best solution to preventing rodents from invading your Streator home is to put Quick-Kill's Home Guardian SM Service into place. Our Home Guardian SM Service will provide you with the services needed to quickly and completely eliminate current problems with rodents and prevent them from re-invading your home in the future, no matter when they might strike.

The Many Ants That Call Streator, IL Home

In the warmer months of the year, Illinois residents are no stranger to ants. While most species are simply a nuisance to have to deal with, some cause more serious issues inside of Illinois homes. The most common species of ants found living around and invading properties in Wilmington include:

• Pavement ants

• Acrobat ants

• Argentine ants

• Citronella ants

• Field ants

• Odorous house ants

• Small honey ants

• Thief ants

• Carpenter ants

• Pharaoh ants

A quick rundown: carpenter ants can tunnel through and create nesting areas inside the structural wood, weakening the integrity of the wood over time, along with contaminating food sources inside your home as they forage for food. Another dangerous ant species is the Pharaoh ant. These ants have the potential to carry and transmit serious bacteria and disease that can make the people living inside of the buildings that they are invading very ill.

To help protect your property from ants, contact the ant control experts at Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators. Our Home Guardian year-round service targets ants and other household pests that are common to our region. To learn more about controlling highly invasive, and potentially dangerous and damaging ants in your Wilmington home or business, call us today.

Cockroach Threats In Streator, IL

Roaches have a terrible reputation - but for good reason. They’re disgusting on the outside, but even worse on the inside - they carry and transmit a wide variety of bacteria and parasites on their bodies, their shed skins and feces can trigger asthma attacks in people, and they contaminate food and food prep areas. 

The most common species of roaches found invading properties in our area include the American roach, German roach, and brown-banded roach. Here's a quick rundown of the roaches that call Streator home:

American Cockroach

This roach is dark reddish-brown in color with a distinctive yellowish figure eight pattern found just behind their head. They prefer to live outside, but often enter inside of homes and other buildings while searching for food and shelter.

German Cockroach

This roach is light brown-tan in color with two easily identifiable black stripes running horizontally behind their head. This cockroach is one of the most common species of roach, often found invading and living inside of homes and businesses - especially restaurant kitchens. 

Brown-Banded Cockroach

Brown-banded cockroaches grow to about 1/2 of an inch in length with brown to black coloration. These roaches like to live in very warm, dry environments. They are often introduced into homes and businesses inside of used furniture and appliances.

While cockroaches can be difficult to prevent, taking the steps to try and do so is important because they have the ability to affect the health and safety of both adults and children. 

If roaches have become a concern for your Streator home, don’t fret: call the professionals at Quik-Kill for help. We can implement the continuous residential or commercial pest control services that are needed to remove these pests and keep them from returning.

Quik-Kill’s mosquito control programs include:
