Emergency pest control in Champaign covers the problems that will not wait. A yellowjacket nest in the ground by the back steps, a hornet nest over a doorway, a mouse running across the kitchen or bed bugs found in a mattress seam all fit. Calls are taken Monday to Saturday 7am to 7pm and Sunday 9am to 5pm.
Late summer brings the most stinging insect calls. Yellowjacket colonies grow largest in August and September and defend the nest hard when a mower passes over it. Do not pour gas or water into a ground nest, and do not seal the hole, because the wasps will dig out somewhere else, sometimes inside a wall.
Rodent emergencies spike in October and November, when mice and Norway rats move in from the fields around town. Until the visit, keep food in sealed bins, close off the room if you can and wear gloves when you clean droppings. Spray droppings with a disinfectant first instead of sweeping them dry, which the CDC advises to avoid breathing dust.
On the call, say what you see and where, and whether anyone in the home is allergic to stings. The technician confirms the pest, explains the treatment and gives the price in writing before starting. Some emergency visits cost more than a scheduled one, so ask about the price on the phone.
