An Evansville homeowner contacted Yikes Pest Control after seeing cockroaches in the kitchen and family room, with activity beginning to spread into the bedroom.

During the inspection, we found a significant German cockroach infestation concentrated primarily in the kitchen. The homeowner explained that she had been dealing with the problem for close to a year and had tried to control the roaches herself before calling Yikes Pest Control.

After the initial treatment, the visible German cockroach activity was reduced by more than 90%.

We explained that with a well-established infestation, some activity may continue for a period of time as the remaining population is eliminated. The homeowner was advised to contact us if she noticed an increase in activity between scheduled services. If that happens, Yikes Pest Control will return at no additional charge.

A homeowner on Evansville’s west side contacted Yikes Pest Control after discovering mud tubes along the foundation and damaged wood near the basement sill plate.

During the inspection, our technician found evidence of subterranean termite activity near the foundation, along with moisture conditions that may have contributed to the infestation. We inspected the accessible foundation, basement, crawlspace, and other areas where termite activity commonly develops.

After reviewing the findings with the homeowner, we recommended a termite treatment designed to eliminate the active colony and help protect the home from future activity. The treatment was completed around the affected areas, and a termite baiting system was installed to help prevent future activity.

At the follow-up inspection, no new termite activity was found, and the previously active areas remained clear.

An Evansville homeowner contacted Yikes Pest Control after being stung several times by hornets in his front yard. During the call, he was also video chatting with his nurse because of the multiple stings.

The homeowner had discovered the hard way that hornets had built a nest inside a decorative tree near the front of the house. Because the nest was close to an area used regularly by the homeowner and visitors, it presented an immediate safety concern.

While the customer went to urgent care for evaluation, our technician came to the property, located the nest, and safely removed it. The affected area was also inspected for any remaining hornet activity.

An Evansville homeowner contacted Yikes Pest Control after noticing mouse activity in the garage and then seeing a mouse inside the kitchen pantry.

During the inspection, our technician found moderate rodent activity in the garage, kitchen, crawlspace, and bathroom. We also identified several possible entry points, including a large gap where a utility line entered the home, gaps around the garage door seal, and a rusted crawlspace door.

We sealed the opening around the utility line and recommended that the homeowner have the damaged crawlspace door replaced to help prevent future entry.

Locked and secured rodent stations were then placed around the exterior of the home, in the garage, in the crawlspace, and beneath the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom.

We returned approximately one week later to check for additional activity and service the rodent stations. At that time, the homeowner reported that no new mouse activity had been seen.
