What we treat
Mosquitoes, Rats and Carpenter Ants Where Three Rivers Meet
Mosquitoes
The Allen County Department of Health says mosquitoes need standing water at least 1/4 inch deep, found in birdbaths, clogged gutters, wading pools, old tires and tree holes. Its technicians treat nearly 300 permanent breeding sites and trap adults for testing. Flush birdbaths weekly, empty containers, cover pools, and put on repellent around sunrise and sunset.
Norway rats
The county health department lists the Norway rat among Allen County's main rodents. It measures 12 to 18 inches long, with brown to dark gray fur. Rats fit through a quarter-sized hole, so close gaps with sheet metal, hardware cloth or cement, keep floor drain covers tight, and store firewood 18 inches off the ground. The wooden snap trap is the most effective option.
House mice
Per the county health department, the common house mouse weighs only a half to one ounce but fits through a dime-sized opening. Typical entry points include poorly fitting doors, holes around pipes and wires, dryer vents, foundation joints and cracked siding. Remove crumbs and clutter, and trap, because bait can leave mice dead inside walls.
Carpenter ants
Purdue's 4-H pest guide says carpenter ants nest in damp or rotting wood, indoors behind bathroom tile, around tubs, under roofing and in attic beams. Sawdust piles near heavy ant traffic suggest a nest close by, and a nest can reveal a past or present moisture problem. Seeing a few foragers does not prove an infestation, because they roam widely.
Bed bugs
Purdue Extension says bed bugs ride along on bedding, furniture, luggage and laptops, and that clean, well-kept hotels and homes get them too. Adults are reddish brown and about 1/4 inch long. Look for rust-colored spots on sheets, dark specks along mattress seams, and shed skins. Central heating ducts can carry them between rooms.
Multicolored Asian lady beetles
Purdue Extension says beetles start congregating on buildings in mid October, often once a first cold snap gives way to warmer weather. Black shutters on a white house, sunny southwest walls and nearby trees draw them. Caulk cracks, fix screens, and vacuum them up. Dead beetles left in piles can worsen allergies and asthma.
Spotted something?
Treat and seal in early October, since Purdue says the key is working on the outside of the home before beetles arrive. Mend screens, door jambs and foundation cracks, and keep a full vacuum bag out of closets, where live beetles can climb back out.
The county health department points to firewood stacked 18 inches off the ground, cleared clutter and tight floor drain covers as prevention. Walk garages, basements and cabinets for gnawing or droppings, and set snap traps where signs appear rather than waiting.
Wet spring weather puts stress on wood near tubs, roofs and windows. Check for sawdust and fix leaks before carpenter ants settle in. Clean out gutters as well, because mosquitoes need only a quarter inch of standing water.
When rain follows heat, breeding sites multiply. Allen County asks residents to empty wading pools, flush birdbaths weekly, remove tires and cover pools, and to report dead birds, which can signal circulating disease. Aerate ornamental ponds or stock them with mosquito-eating fish.
Describe it on the phone and we will tell you what it likely is and how we would treat it. Estimates are free.

Standing water and warm weather combine. Allen County says mosquitoes need only 1/4 inch of water, and birdbaths, gutters, tires and wading pools all qualify. Empty or flush them weekly, cover pools, and limit time outside at dawn and dusk when bites are likeliest.
Remove food and shelter first. The county health department suggests storing firewood and lumber 18 inches off the ground, clearing debris and weeds, fixing leaks and closing entry holes. It also notes that city code restricts poison baits, so rely on traps and exclusion.
A mouse needs only a dime-sized opening, and a rat can use a quarter-sized hole, according to the Allen County Department of Health. Check dryer vents, pipe penetrations, foundation joints and cracked siding, then close gaps with sheet metal, hardware cloth or cement.
Look for sawdust piles near heavy ant traffic. Purdue says carpenter ants nest in damp or decayed wood, such as behind bath tile, around tubs or in attic beams, and that a nest may point to a moisture problem. A few ants alone don't confirm a nest.

Fort Wayne grew where the St. Joseph and St. Marys rivers join to form the Maumee, which carries water on to Lake Erie. Flat terrain, river banks and standing water give mosquitoes and rodents plenty of room.
Fort Wayne, the seat of Allen County in northeastern Indiana, counted 263,886 residents in 2020. It sits at about 758 feet, roughly 18 miles west of the Ohio line, and covers around 110.8 square miles of mostly flat ground. The St. Joseph and St. Marys rivers meet at the city's founding site to form the Maumee, and the land east of the Fort Wayne Moraine was once part of the Great Black Swamp.
Residents describe the city in four quadrants split by Calhoun Street and the rivers. The climate is humid continental, with hot, wet summers and cold winters: July highs average about 84 degrees, and snowfall runs near 33.5 inches a year. Damp summers help mosquitoes breed along waterways, and long winters drive mice and beetles indoors.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Fort Wayne property
Unique to Fort Wayne
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Fort Wayne details that shape every plan we write here.
Moisture is where trouble starts. Check gutters, downspouts, tub surrounds and roof flashing, and empty anything outside that collects rain. Fill hollow tree stumps and tree holes, and aerate backyard ponds. Dry wood is a poor home for ants, and dry yards are a poor home for mosquito larvae.
After that, close the building. Walk the foundation, dryer vents, pipe penetrations and door thresholds with a flashlight, and plug gaps with metal or cement instead of plastic. Keep food in sealed containers and wipe up crumbs. If rats appear in an alley behind your property, the county health department also offers free alley baiting on request.
