Forest Park pest control FAQ

Why do homes near rail lines get more rats?

Rail corridors give rodents cover and travel routes. Sealing entry points and removing food sources around the house helps most. See rodent entry points.

How do I stop fire ants from coming back every year?

Treat the whole lawn with bait in spring and fall instead of only treating visible mounds, since new colonies move in from neighboring areas.

Are mid-century brick homes at risk for termites?

Yes. Brick veneer homes still have wood framing and sills that termites can reach through foundation cracks and soil contact.
