Pest control in Savoy reflects a village of newer subdivisions surrounded by farmland. Many homes along Curtis Road and off US Route 45 back right onto fields, so mice and voles are a fall problem once the harvest is in. Garages, sheds and the gaps around sliding doors are the usual ways in.
Newer houses have fewer foundation cracks than old ones, but slab joints, utility lines and landscape mulch still give ants and termites a path. Wide lawns with afternoon sun also draw boxelder bugs and stink bugs to south and west walls in September and October, before they work in around windows.
