F.A.Q.

For most Central Illinois homeowners, yes. Outdoor pests like mosquitoes and ticks are seasonal, but mice, spiders, ants, and other household pests are active year-round. Ongoing treatment follows the seasons, switching to indoor pests when the weather is cold.

There are a lot of things you can do to reduce tick bites: use repellents, treat the yard, and remember to check yourself for ticks after spending time outside (just in case).
