Rating: 5 of 5 – Heather L. Elgin, IL

I had to call in the troops… “We just moved to the Chicagoland area and into a newly built home. Being from Texas I am seeing a lot of things here that we don’t have back down there. My new home was covered with what I later found to be Box Elder bugs coupled with the huge swarms of lady bugs, hundreds of millipedes getting into the basement, and mice. I had to call in the troops, and ProActive sounded like what we needed so that is who I called. Their tech came out and spent quite a while treating the inside and outside of our home. He was very polite and professional.

City of Elgin

In the years following the Black Hawk Indian War of 1832, settlers began to build upon the fertile land where the battles took place. Not long after, two brothers from New York, James and Hezekiah Gifford sought out the small settlement to include it on the new stagecoach route from Chicago to Galena. They decided to officially establish the city in the Spring of 1835 and name it Elgin, after the Scottish tune, “Lord Elgin’s Welcome.”

As the appeal of the once-small town became more enticing, entrepreneurs began to contribute to the growing city’s economy, and enterprises far beyond the successful dairy businesses spread on either side of the Fox River. Most notably, Gail Borden’s condensed milk factory, whose legacy endures today on the shelves of grocery stores and in fudge recipes nationwide, and Elgin Watch Company which was a leading employer of Elgin residents from the late 19th to the mid 20th century. Until Summer of 1966, the Elgin Watch Company was the world’s largest fine watch producer, and their work can still be seen in the clocks of Chicago Union Station today.

Elgin’s Pest Vulnerability

For time immemorial, civilizations have been built around the fertile lands along rivers. It is no surprise that the towns of this country built along the innumerable rivers of the land have been major economic hubs and have offered fine places to live for its citizens. These scenic luxuries, however do come at a price, one of which is sharing a habitat with the area’s colorful and thriving insect population. The proximity to the Fox River that residents of Elgin and other river towns enjoy are more susceptible to pest infestations, including an increased vulnerability especially to spiders and mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are seasonal pests that are not only obnoxious summertime party crashers, but they can also harbor dangerous diseases like West Nile Virus. Mosquitoes can be found most commonly near bodies of water, such as our own local Fox River and the many ponds that are peppered throughout Elgin and the surrounding areas. After the eggs, which are laid in stagnant waters hatch, the adults then travel into our backyards to wreak havoc while we are trying to enjoy the warm summer nights. During the daytime hours, it’s too hot for mosquitoes to be active, and they rest underneath the shade of tree and bush leaves and in the eaves of homes.

To combat the presence of these hated summer pests, we apply a mist of product in the areas where mosquitoes are known to rest before the evening. By targeting them while they are inactive, we can stop them from ruining your next cookout. Seasonal treatment plan to be applied every three weeks from the end of April to early October to ensure you can enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Elgin in peace!

Spiders are active all year long, even in the Winter. It’s during this time that spiders behave in the most urgent manner to survive the cold by infiltrating any warm space they can find. This usually means that your home becomes a shelter for insects in survival mode. We offer a quarterly maintenance treatment plan to keep spiders of all seasons at bay. Each quarter, we reinforce a barrier surrounding your home to discourage would-be roomies from making themselves at home in your living spaces.
