Pest control in Tolono starts with the farm economy around it. Grain storage, rail lines and open fields surround the village, and stored grain feeds Norway rats and house mice. When the harvest wraps up in fall, those rodents look for warm buildings, and homes near the edges of town feel it first.
Many of Tolono's older homes near downtown have basements, crawl spaces and wood porches that give termites and mice a way in. Late summer brings yellowjackets nesting in lawns and under steps. Burrows along a foundation, droppings in the garage or a nest by the back door are all good reasons to call.
