Controlling Pests In Bay Village

Pest Control in Bay Village, OH is pretty unique compared to other areas. Did you know that Westlake, Bay Village and Avon Lake used to be one territory? For this discussion, we will include Avon Lake too. They have fairly similar homes and likewise similar critters.

Homes With Crawlspaces

Cape cod homes spread the length of many streets. Many of them having a crawlspace instead of a basement. Pest problems occur when screens that vent these empty spaces break. Consequently, mice sneak their way in. Smaller creatures crawl in too. A dark crawlspace is like living under a rock. Lots of insects like to live under rocks. Earwigs, and potato bugs for example. You surely have some sort of insects living down in the crawl. Eventually something will pop up inside the living space. This is usually a spider or centipede hunting for those rock-dwellers. Depending on the crawlspace you can find some crazy amounts of spiders. Some are glazed over with webs. Other spaces breed those large well-fed types.

Slab Homes

There are also a lot of slab homes in Avon Lake and Bay Village. These homes primarily have problems with small ants. They unknowingly begin outside. Ant colonies mature into super colonies underneath patios, sidewalks and driveways. Then secondary nests start to branch off. All of a sudden, their feeding range expands into your home! If your house has cracks in the driveway, a sidewalk leading around the home, or a landing pad for outdoor living, you can get ants. The problem being that a lot of these ants set up multiple nests. They can also have multiple queens. You may knock the problem nest out, only to realize they keep popping up year after year. That’s because you missed a nest. So they keep bringing the troops back to your home.
