East along I-64 into farm country
Pest control for Washington County farms, small towns and rural homes
Washington County is open cropland and small towns strung along I-64. Field mice in the fall, brown recluse spiders in farmhouse cellars, ticks along the field edges and wildlife in the outbuildings are the usual calls. We run east from Belleville to Okawville, Nashville and the rural roads between.

The local picture
Farm country pest pressure
Washington County is mostly cropland, and that shapes the work. As harvest wraps up each fall, mice and the occasional rat move from the fields into homes, garages, machine sheds and grain storage. Barns and outbuildings draw raccoons, opossums, skunks and groundhogs, and the brushy edges between fields and woodlots hold ticks through the warm months.
Inside older farmhouses and town homes, the southern Illinois constants show up: the brown recluse, native to this part of the state, in cellars and storage rooms, and subterranean termites in the soil around foundations. Rural jobs here often bundle the house, the garage and the outbuildings into one visit.

What sets Washington County apart
Nashville is the county seat, and I-64 carries most traffic across the county past Okawville and Nashville. The county is largely agricultural, with small towns and widely spaced farmsteads, which makes outbuildings as important as the house in most pest plans. A barn full of mice or a groundhog under the machine shed will keep feeding problems into the house until it is dealt with too.

Where we work in the county
Okawville is the closest stop on the way out from Belleville along I-64, then Nashville and the smaller communities and farm roads around them. Farm properties usually book one visit covering the house, the garage and the outbuildings, with exterior rodent stations where pressure is heavy.
