Pest Control in Clarendon Hills, IL

Clarendon Hills is a small village of about 8,700 people, and its streets are full of older homes and mature trees, with new houses going up between them. That mix shapes the pest problems here, from termites and carpenter ants in older wood to rodents moving around construction. We treat Clarendon Hills homes of every age.

A Planned Village With Curving Streets

Clarendon Hills was planned in the 1870s and incorporated in 1924. Unlike many nearby towns built on a straight street grid, it was laid out with long, winding streets that follow the land, in the style of the park like suburb of Riverside. The village covers under two square miles, with a downtown around the Metra station and business areas along Ogden Avenue and 55th Street.

Homes range from small, older Cape Cods to large Tudor style houses, and many lots have mature trees. Prospect Park, about 23 acres with a fishing pond, sits in the middle of the village, and the Hinsdale Golf Club is also here.

Older Homes, Newer Neighbors

Many older homes in the village have wood framing, basements and foundations that have settled over the decades. That makes them more likely to have gaps that let mice in, wood that termites and carpenter ants can target, and damp basements where silverfish and centipedes settle.

New construction is also common, with older houses being replaced by larger new homes. Digging and demolition can disturb rodents living in the ground or in old structures, and they may move into nearby houses. If your neighbor is building, it is smart to check your own home for gaps and signs of rodents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get a termite inspection for an older Clarendon Hills home?

It is a good idea, especially if you are buying, selling or renovating. Older homes with wood framing and basements can be at greater risk, and termites can be active for a long time before you see signs. See Termite Inspection.

A house next door is being torn down. Will I get mice?

It can happen. Construction can disturb rodents living in the ground or in old buildings, and they may look for shelter in nearby homes. Seal gaps in your foundation, garage and utility lines, and call us if you see droppings or hear noises.

Are carpenter ants common in Clarendon Hills?

They can be, since many lots have mature trees and older wood. Carpenter ants nest in wet or damaged wood, and large black ants indoors at night or sawdust piles near windows are warning signs. See Carpenter Ant Control.

Why do I have silverfish in my basement?

Silverfish thrive in humid spaces and feed on paper, cardboard and stored fabrics. Older basements with moisture are ideal. A dehumidifier and sealed storage bins, along with treatment, help.

Do you treat yards near Prospect Park for mosquitoes?

Yes. Standing water and shade help mosquitoes breed and rest, so yards near ponds or with dense shrubs can see more of them. See Mosquito Control.
