With a shorter summer season of warm weather up North, Illinois tends to see more in-home pest infestations during the coldest months of the year. Typically, insects and pests will try to keep warm in your home so finding Ants, Cockroaches, and Termites, as well as Bats, Mice, and even Raccoons is not unheard of in Illinois.
Illinois has a lot to offer locals and visitors to the state. While winter can be brutal, it can also be beautiful as well and summers are more bearable with less of a heat factor. You have Lake Michigan with its beautiful clear blue water that can be used for boating, swimming, and other water activities. You can also find food, culture, and fun in Chicago. State parks are scattered throughout the state if you are in need of some natural beauty and hiking as well.
