Ants in Your Hanover Park Townhome? Mice in Your Garage? We Fix It Fast.

Hanover Park is a diverse, family-friendly northwest suburb of 38,000+ residents, with great schools, Hanover Park Community Park, and easy access to I-390 and Route 20. Whether you live in one of the many townhome communities, single-family neighborhoods near Lake Street, or apartments along Irving Park Road, you’re experiencing what thousands of Hanover Park residents deal with: persistent pest problems.

Here’s why: Hanover Park has a unique mix of attached housing (shared walls = shared pest issues), proximity to Hanover Park Community Park and Spring Creek, and diverse housing stock from 1970s builds to newer construction. Odorous house ants love your townhome’s shared walls. Field mice invade attached garages every fall. Roaches spread between units in multi-family buildings.

Generic pest control doesn’t work here. You need someone who understands Hanover Park’s specific challenges—and that’s Midwest Pest Solutions.

We’ve protected hundreds of Hanover Park homes and apartments, and we know exactly how to stop pests in townhomes, condos, and single-family homes alike.

Why Hanover Park Has Unique Pest Challenges

High Percentage of Townhomes & Attached Housing

Hanover Park has dozens of townhome communities, which create unique problems:

Shared Walls = Shared Pests:

• Ants in one unit quickly spread to neighbors
• Roaches travel through shared plumbing and walls
• Mice enter through one garage, access entire building
• Treating one unit isn’t enough—adjacent units matter

Common Entry Points:

• Shared attic spaces
• Common walls with gaps at utility penetrations
• Attached garages with foundation gaps
• Shared crawl spaces (in older buildings)

Our Solution: We work with HOAs, property managers, and neighbors to coordinate treatments for maximum effectiveness. Treating just your unit often isn’t enough—we’ll explain why and how to get neighbors involved.

Hanover Park Community Park & Spring Creek

Living near parks and water creates pest pressures:

• Spring Creek wetlands = mosquito breeding grounds
• Park wooded areas = wolf spiders, deer mice
• Playground/picnic areas = wasps and yellow jackets
• Open spaces = field mice migrate to homes in fall

Neighborhoods Most Affected:

• Homes backing to Community Park
• Properties near Spring Creek
• Areas along Ontarioville Road near green spaces

Our Solution: Enhanced perimeter treatments for homes near parks, mosquito control for yards backing to creek, and fall exclusion before mice migrate indoors.

Diverse Housing Ages & Styles

Hanover Park has:

• 1970s townhomes and condos with shared construction
• 1980s-90s single-family homes with crawl spaces
• 2000s newer builds with attached garages
• Apartment complexes along Irving Park Road

Each Creates Different Problems:

• Older townhomes: Settling creates gaps, shared walls spread pests
• Single-family homes: Standard suburban pest issues (ants, mice, spiders)
• Newer construction: Pavement ants in driveways, field mice in garages
• Apartments: German roaches, bed bugs from turnover

Our Solution: Treatment plans customized to your specific housing type and ages.

Harsh Winters = Indoor Pest Invasions

When Chicago-area temps drop below freezing:

• Field mice seek warmth in attached garages (then access homes)
• Cluster flies overwinter in wall voids by the thousands
• Asian lady beetles invade in huge swarms
• Boxelder bugs cluster on south-facing walls

Peak Invasion Time: Mid-October through November (first freeze triggers mass movement)

Our Solution: Fall exclusion treatments in September-October BEFORE pests seek entry. This is the most critical service of the year.

Most Common Pests in Hanover Park

🐜 Odorous House Ants (The Coconut Ants) – #1 Complaint

Why Hanover Park Has SO Many Odorous House Ants: They LOVE attached housing. One colony in a shared wall can spread through 4-6 units. They nest inside walls, not underground like pavement ants.

How to Identify Them:

• Tiny brown ants (1/8 inch)
• Smell like rotten coconut when crushed (distinctive!)
• Trails on walls and counters
• Appear suddenly in large numbers

Where They Nest:

• Inside wall voids (especially shared walls)
• Behind bathroom tiles with moisture
• Under kitchen cabinets
• In insulation
• Behind siding

Why They’re Tough to Eliminate:

• Colonies “bud” when threatened (split into multiple new colonies)
• They relocate nests every few weeks
• Spraying makes the problem WORSE (causes budding)
• Underground treatments don’t work (they’re not underground)

Our Specialized Treatment:

• Non-repellent baits they can’t detect
• Wall void treatments using dust or foam
• Exterior perimeter barriers
• Moisture source elimination
• Multi-unit coordination (critical in townhomes)

Timeline: 10-14 days for full colony elimination. May require 2-3 treatments.

Townhome/Condo Residents: Talk to your neighbors. If multiple units treat simultaneously, success rates jump from 60% to 95%.

🐜 Pavement Ants – Driveway Invaders

Common in: Single-family homes and newer townhomes with individual driveways

How to Spot Them:

• Tiny dark brown ants (slightly larger than odorous house ants)
• Sand/dirt mounds in driveway cracks
• Trails on patios and sidewalks
• Massive swarms on warm spring days

Where They Nest:

• Under driveways and patios
• Along sidewalk edges
• Under concrete slab foundations
• In expansion joints

Our Treatment:

• Non-repellent perimeter sprays
• Crack/crevice treatments in driveways
• Sub-slab injections for severe cases
• Baiting for indoor activity

🐭 Mice (Field Mice & House Mice) – Peak: September-March

Why Hanover Park Attracts Mice:

• Open fields and parks = high field mouse populations
• Attached garages = easy entry and protection from weather
• Townhome garages share walls = mice spread through entire building
• Food storage in garages (pet food, bird seed)

Entry Points in Hanover Park Homes:

• Attached garage doors (most common—even 1/4 inch gap works)
• Garage-to-house doorways with gaps under door
• HVAC penetrations in garage ceilings
• Dryer vents without proper flaps
• Utility line entries in townhome basements
• Shared attic spaces (townhomes/condos)

Warning Signs:

• Droppings in garage (look like dark rice)
• Droppings in kitchen drawers, pantry, under sink
• Chewed food packaging or pet food bags
• Scratching sounds in walls at night
• Urine odor in garage or basement
• Shredded paper/fabric (nesting material)

Why This Is Urgent:

• One pair becomes 60 mice in 3 months
• Mice carry Hantavirus (especially field mice)
• They chew electrical wires (fire hazard)
• They contaminate food and surfaces

Our Proven Solution:

For Single-Family Homes:

1. Complete property inspection (30+ common entry points)
2. Exclusion (seal every gap with steel mesh, hardware cloth)
3. Strategic trapping in active areas
4. Follow-up monitoring

For Townhomes/Condos:

1. Inspection focuses on garage and shared walls
2. Garage door seal replacement (critical)
3. Seal gaps around garage-to-house door
4. Coordinate with HOA for building-wide issues
5. Trapping and monitoring

Investment: $300-$600 depending on home size and entry points.

Guarantee: Mice-free for 60 days or we return FREE.

Critical: If you’re in a townhome and neighbors have mice, talk to them about treating together. Mice move between units through shared spaces.

🕷️ Spiders – Wolf Spiders, House Spiders, Jumping Spiders

Common Species:

• Wolf spiders (large, brown, ground hunters) – near Community Park
• House spiders (web builders)
• Jumping spiders (small, harmless)
• Grass spiders (funnel webs in yards)

Where They Hide:

• Basements (especially unfinished)
• Garages and storage areas
• Window wells
• Crawl spaces
• Under decks and porches

When They Invade:

• Fall (seeking shelter)
• Spring (mating season)
• After heavy rain

Our Treatment:

• Perimeter barrier sprays
• Web removal
• Interior treatments for basements/garages

Prevention: Keep landscaping trimmed, remove debris, seal window wells, declutter storage areas.

🪳 German Roaches – Multi-Family Buildings

Where We See Them:

• Apartment complexes along Irving Park Road
• Older townhome communities
• Condos with shared plumbing

Why They’re Problematic:

• Spread between units through walls and pipes
• Develop pesticide resistance

Warning Signs:

• Small dark droppings (look like pepper)
