Pest pressure in Chicago
Chicago is one of the largest metros in the country in Illinois, with housing stock that includes brick three-flats and greystones dominate, high-rise condos along lakefront, bungalows on Northwest and Southwest sides. Cold winters drive rodent indoor activity; humid summers bring heavy bed bug and roach pressure — and that's what drives the specific pest pressure Chicago homeowners deal with. Norway rat pressure is among the worst in the country; alley dumpsters and multi-unit buildings fuel rapid spread.
