Clinton experiences classic Midwestern weather extremes. Humid summers create perfect breeding grounds for insects, while cold winters drive rodents and other pests indoors seeking refuge. Spring and fall bring significant rainfall, saturating the ground and forcing subterranean pests like termites to seek drier harborages, often within your foundation.
Cockroaches: German cockroaches will infest kitchens, while larger American and Oriental cockroaches thrive in damp basements and drains, particularly during Clinton's humid months. Look for droppings in cabinets or a musty odor near pipes.
Illinois is a moderate-to-heavy termite risk zone. Subterranean termites remain active year-round in Clinton's non-freezing soil. They build mud tubes along foundations, seeking structural wood. Annual inspections are crucial here.
