Pest Control in Illinois

Illinois experienced a rare entomological event in 2024, when two periodical cicada broods, the 13 year Brood XIII and the 17 year Brood XIX, emerged together across parts of the state at the same time, an overlap that University of Illinois Extension entomologists noted hadn't occurred in that particular pairing in over two centuries. While cicadas themselves are mostly a noisy nuisance rather than a structural threat, Illinois homeowners deal with more persistent pressures too, including multicolored Asian lady beetles and boxelder bugs that swarm building exteriors each fall looking for cracks and gaps to overwinter in, and, in the dense urban core around Chicago, a rodent population sustained by the sheer density of buildings, alleys, and food waste that keeps rat control a routine part of pest management. Add in cold winters that push mice and other rodents to seek warmth indoors across the rest of the state, and Illinois pest issues tend to follow a clear seasonal rhythm from fall invaders through winter rodent pressure.
