Paul's Pest Removal: Pest Control & Damage Restoration in Lansing, IL

After water damage from a sink leak, the number one sign to watch for is mold or mildew, which attracts pests like silverfish, earwigs, and cockroaches. You might also notice a musty smell behind cabinets or under the sink. Even if you have the water damage restored, the lingering moisture can create a perfect environment for carpenter ants or termites to start damaging wood. At Paul's Pest Removal, we recommend scheduling a pest inspection alongside your damage restoration to catch these issues early. We can treat the area with preventative indoor pest treatments to stop an infestation before it starts.

Absolutely. Freeze-thaw cycles are tough on foundations and siding in Lansing. As water freezes and expands, it can create tiny cracks in your home's exterior. These cracks might not cause a big leak, but they are perfect entry points for mice, rats, and spiders looking for warmth. The moisture that seeps in can also lead to hidden mold, which attracts mites and silverfish. Our service includes a thorough pest inspection that looks for these small entry points. We'll seal what we can and apply an outdoor pest preventative treatment to create a barrier around your home, so you don't end up with a winter rodent problem.

After a hurricane or heavy storm, standing water and soaked materials are a magnet for pests. Mosquitoes will breed in any standing water, and you might see an increase in ants or roaches coming indoors. The most important step is to dry out the area completely within 24-48 hours to prevent mold. Paul's Pest Removal offers damage restoration services to handle the cleanup and drying. Once the area is dry, we can perform a mosquito extermination treatment for your yard and an indoor pest preventative treatment to keep out any pests that were displaced by the flood. For wildlife like raccoons or squirrels that might have been driven into your attic by the storm, we provide safe wildlife control and removal.
