As the weather warms up here in Brookfield, Elm Grove, and Milwaukee, WI, it’s not just the flowers that are coming back to life—so are the pests. I’m Travis Barker, Owner and Technician at Premier Pest Solutions, and every spring, I get the same calls: ants marching through kitchens, and box elder bugs gathering around windows and doors.
If you’re starting to see these unwelcome guests around your home, you’re not alone. And while there are plenty of DIY pest control products out there, I’m here to tell you why trusting a professional is the best option when it comes to protecting your home and family.
Why Ants Are a Bigger Problem Than You Think
Ants might seem harmless at first glance, but once they establish a colony inside your home, they can become a serious nuisance. In Brookfield and Elm Grove neighborhoods especially, I’ve seen how quickly a few scouting ants can turn into a full-blown infestation.
Ants are experts at finding even the tiniest cracks to enter your home. Once inside, they search for food and water, establishing trails that lead their entire colony straight into your kitchen or pantry. Some species, like carpenter ants, can even cause structural damage by hollowing out wood.
Over-the-counter sprays might kill the ants you see, but they don’t get to the root of the problem: the colony. At Premier Pest Solutions, we use targeted treatments that eliminate ants at the source, keeping your home protected long-term.
Box Elder Bugs: Harmless but Annoying—and Hard to Get Rid Of
Box elder bugs are another common sight in Milwaukee area homes as spring rolls around. While these bugs don’t sting, bite, or cause structural damage, they can quickly become a major nuisance. They love to sunbathe on the sides of homes and sneak inside through small openings in windows, doors, and siding.
Once they’re inside, they can stain walls, curtains, and upholstery with their droppings—not exactly something you want guests to see!
The key to controlling box elder bugs is treating them early, before their numbers grow. Our professional treatments create a barrier around your home, preventing these pests from making themselves comfortable inside.
