It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Steger sits in a four-season climate with real winter cold, heavy snow, and notoriously strong winds off the lake. Older, established city neighborhoods sit alongside continued suburban development across the collar counties. That's exactly what house mice, German cockroaches, subterranean termites, carpenter ants, stink bugs, and Norway rats need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Dense brick bungalows and two-flats throughout the city, alongside single-family ranch and colonial homes across the suburbs, most with basements. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
