If you've ever heard scratching in the walls on a cool fall night, you're not imagining things. As temperatures begin to drop across Evansville and Southern Indiana, mice start looking for three things: food, water, and a warm place to spend the colder months. Unfortunately, your home can provide all three. And mice don't need an open door to get inside. Small gaps around foundations, garages, utility lines, siding, crawl spaces, and other areas can give rodents an opportunit
Summer in Southern Indiana brings cookouts, yard work, kids playing outside, pets running around, and plenty of time on the porch or patio. Unfortunately, it also brings some pests that can make enjoying your property a lot harder—especially hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets. If you are seeing stinging insects around your home, deck, porch, shed, garage, landscaping, or yard, it is important to know what you may be dealing with and when to call a professional pest control co
Every summer, homeowners in Evansville, Indiana, and throughout Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, and surrounding counties begin noticing a very large wasp flying low over their lawns. It's common for people to think they've discovered an oversized yellowjacket or hornet, but in most cases, it's actually a cicada killer wasp. At Yikes Pest, we receive calls every year from concerned homeowners wondering if these giant wasps are dangerous. The good news is that while they c
At Yikes Pest Control, we believe taking care of our community goes beyond keeping homes and businesses pest-free.

During Yikes for Good, customers who donate directly to one of the nonprofits listed below can receive a discount on their next Yikes Pest Control service. The discount will match the amount donated, up to the applicable lim
As summer settles into Evansville and Southern Indiana, homeowners often start noticing more wasps around porches, decks, garages, sheds, rooflines, trash cans, and yards. That does not always mean they suddenly appeared overnight. In many cases, the nest has been growing quietly for weeks. A small spring nest can become a much larger late-summer colony. As more workers are added, social wasps become more protective of the nest, more active around food and drinks, and less fo
Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pest issues a homeowner can deal with. They are small, secretive, active mostly at night, and very good at hiding in places that are difficult to inspect. At Yikes Pest Control, our goal is to address the entire home, treat areas where bed bugs may be hiding or traveling, and perform a follow-up service to help control activity that may remain after the initial treatment. Bed bug control is a process. These insects are difficult to find,
Fleas can be one of the most frustrating pests to deal with because they are small, fast, and often seem to appear all at once. A flea issue can also feel confusing because activity may improve after treatment and then flare up again a couple weeks later. At Yikes Pest Control, our goal is to reduce active fleas, interrupt the life cycle, treat the areas where fleas are developing, and help prevent the next wave of activity from taking over. Flea Biology and Habits Fleas are
Odorous house ants are one of the most common ant issues homeowners deal with. They are small, persistent, and can be frustrating because activity may seem to disappear for a while and then suddenly show up again in the same area or in a nearby area. At Yikes Pest Control, our goal is to reduce activity, treat the areas where ants are trailing or nesting, and help keep new activity from becoming established. Odorous house ant control is often a process because these ants can
German cockroaches are one of the most common and difficult indoor pests to control. They reproduce quickly, hide in small cracks and crevices, and can build large populations before a customer realizes how serious the issue has become. At Yikes Pest Control, our goal is to identify where the activity is coming from, reduce the population, interrupt the breeding cycle, and help keep the issue from spreading or returning. German cockroach control is a process, and every situat
Brown recluse spiders are one of the more difficult pests to manage inside a structure. They are secretive, they spend much of their time hidden, and they can survive in areas where people rarely look. Because of this, brown recluse control should be viewed as a long-term reduction and management process, not an immediate elimination service. At Yikes Pest Control, our goal is to reduce activity, identify where the heaviest pressure is occurring, and bring the population unde
If mosquitoes are making your backyard, patio, deck, or pool area miserable, you are not alone. Around Evansville and Southern Indiana, mosquito season can turn a relaxing evening outside into a full-contact sport. One minute you are trying to grill dinner. The next minute you are slapping your ankles like you are keeping time in a marching band. Mosquitoes are one of the most common warm-weather pest complaints in our area. They thrive in humid conditions, breed in standing
Fleas are tiny, fast, and extremely frustrating once they get inside your home. Many homeowners first notice a problem when pets start scratching, bites appear around ankles, or small jumping insects show up in carpet, furniture, or bedding. By the time fleas are easy to spot, there may already be eggs, larvae, and adults throughout the home. Professional flea control service is designed to do more than kill the fleas you can see. It targets the areas where fleas live, hide,
Finding ants in your kitchen is frustrating, especially when they seem to appear out of nowhere. One day the counters are clear, and the next day there is a tiny marching band headed straight for a crumb you did not even know existed. Around Evansville, ants are a common problem for homeowners, especially during warmer months and after changes in weather. While a few ants may not seem like a big deal, kitchen ant problems can grow quickly. Ants are excellent at finding food a
Roaches are one of those pests that can make any homeowner stop in their tracks. Seeing one in the kitchen, bathroom, basement, or laundry room is never a welcome surprise. Around Southern Indiana, roach activity can become more noticeable during warm, humid weather, after heavy rain, or when pests start looking for food, water, and shelter indoors. The frustrating part is that roaches are not just unpleasant to look at. They can spread bacteria, trigger allergies, contaminat
Spiders are a common sight in Evansville homes, especially when the weather shifts and insects start looking for shelter. Most spiders are harmless, and seeing one every now and then does not always mean you have a serious problem. But when spiders keep showing up in corners, basements, garages, closets, or around entryways, it may be time to take a closer look. Professional spider control in Evansville is not just about removing the spiders you can see. It is about finding o
Ants are one of the most common pest problems for homeowners in Evansville and across Southern Indiana. One day you see a few ants near the kitchen sink. The next day, they have a full marching route across the counter like they are late for formation. Ant problems can show up inside or outside the home, and they are often more complicated than they look. A few ants on the counter may be connected to a much larger colony outside, inside a wall void, under a patio, near the fo
Hantavirus has been showing up in the news recently, and anytime a serious illness is connected to rodents, homeowners naturally start asking questions. The good news: hantavirus is still rare in the United States. The better news: the most practical prevention steps are the same things that help protect your home from mice and rats in the first place. At Yikes Pest Control, we help homeowners and businesses throughout Evansville, Newburgh, Mount Vernon, Poseyville, Wadesvill
Waking up with strange bites or finding tiny bugs near your mattress can make your brain go from “What is that?” to “Burn the house down” in about four seconds. Before you panic, take a breath. Bed bugs are stressful, but they can be handled with the right inspection and treatment plan. If you live in Evansville, Newburgh, Henderson, Boonville, Mt. Vernon, or the surrounding Tri-State area, Yikes Pest Control can help you figure out what is going on and what to do next. Below
There are few things that can ruin a nice evening outside faster than mosquitoes. You fire up the grill, sit down with your family, and within five minutes everyone is slapping their arms, ankles, and necks like they’re auditioning for a drumline. Mosquitoes may be small, but they have a special talent for making your own backyard feel unusable. Here in Southwest Indiana, mosquitoes are more than just a summer annoyance. With our warm weather, humidity, shaded yards, and plen
