What we treat
Mosquitoes, Bed Bugs and Carpenter Ants in the Circle City
Northern house mosquitoes
The Indiana Department of Health calls Culex pipiens the species of greatest public health concern in the state. Females lay eggs in still water with decaying matter, such as clogged gutters, discarded tires, failed septic systems and containers around homes. They are most active at dusk and dawn, and Indiana's season runs roughly May through October.
Bed bugs
Purdue Extension says adult bed bugs are about 1/4 inch long, oval, wingless and reddish brown, hiding by day in mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture. They travel on bedding, furniture, luggage and laptops, and they are not linked to poor sanitation. In apartment buildings, constant turnover raises the risk, and every unit and common area needs inspection.
Carpenter ants
Purdue's 4-H pest guide notes that these ants never eat the wood. They excavate damp or rotting wood for shelter, with nests reported behind bathroom tile, around tubs, under roofing, in attic beams and beneath subfloor insulation. A pile of sawdust in a busy ant area points to a nearby nest, and a nest can also signal a current or past moisture problem.
Multicolored Asian lady beetles
Purdue Extension reports that beetles begin gathering in mid October, with a peak by month's end, usually after a first cold snap followed by warmth. Sharp color contrasts, such as black shutters on a white house, and sunlit southwest walls attract them. Caulk cracks, fix screens and door jambs, and vacuum strays. Treat the outside before they arrive.
House mice
Purdue Extension calls the house mouse the most common rodent pest of structures, found in homes, farms and commercial buildings. Mice contaminate more food through urine and droppings than they actually eat. The answer combines sanitation, rodent-proof construction, proper garbage handling and trapping with snap traps, cage traps or glue boards. Ultrasonic devices are generally ineffective.
Blacklegged ticks
The state health department says blacklegged ticks occur in most Indiana counties and are mostly found in wooded areas. Nymphs are most active in spring and summer, adults in fall and early spring, and adults may stir on any winter day above freezing. They are tied to Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and Powassan virus.
Spotted something?
Purdue says the key to control is treating the outside of the home in October, before beetles settle in. Seal cracks, fix screens and door jambs, and plug gaps in foundations and rooflines. Do not leave a used vacuum bag in a closet, because live beetles can crawl back out.
Heated buildings draw mice and keep bed bugs active year-round. Declutter stored boxes, seal gaps around pipes and wires, and keep food in sealed containers. Remember that blacklegged ticks can stir on any winter day above freezing.
Tick nymphs and carpenter ant workers both become active. Check for sawdust and damp wood near baths and attics, and run a tick check after time spent on the greenway trails or in wooded yards. Clear gutters before mosquito season begins in May.
From May through October, Culex mosquitoes can finish a life cycle in under a week in hot weather. Empty buckets, birdbaths and kiddie pools weekly, cover tires, and keep screens in good repair. Limit evening time outdoors when bites are likeliest.
Describe it on the phone and we will tell you what it likely is and how we would treat it. Estimates are free.

The northern house mosquito, Culex pipiens, is the species of greatest concern in Indiana, according to the state health department. It breeds in still, dirty water like clogged gutters and old tires, so drain and clean those spots. Avoiding bites at dusk and dawn is the main defense.
They hitchhike. Purdue Extension says bed bugs move on luggage, clothing, used furniture and bedding, and crawl between rooms through cracks in walls. Constant turnover raises the risk in apartment buildings. Report them promptly, since every unit and common area should be inspected.
Purdue Extension says they start gathering in mid October and usually peak by the end of that month. Seal cracks, repair screens and door jambs, and vacuum the strays. Treating the outside of the building before they arrive works better than waiting.
Yes. The Indiana Department of Health says blacklegged ticks live in most counties, mostly in wooded areas. Nymphs bite in spring and summer, and adults are active in fall and early spring. Check skin, clothing and pets after outdoor time, and treat clothing with permethrin.

Indianapolis spreads across flat glacial till in Marion County, with the White River running north to south through the middle. Creeks, aging neighborhoods and wooded edges give pests and mosquitoes steady cover.
Indianapolis, a consolidated city and county seat in Marion County, had 887,642 residents at the 2020 census. Its 1821 plan called for a one-square-mile town around a central circle, which earned the Circle City nickname. The land is a flat to gently sloping glacial till plain at about 719 feet, and the White River runs roughly 31 miles through it, fed by about 35 streams.
The city is organized into 99 neighborhood areas, from Broad Ripple and Meridian-Kessler to Irvington and Castleton. The 1991 to 2020 climate normals show about 25.5 inches of snow, around 43 inches of precipitation and July highs near 85 degrees. Humid summers help mosquitoes breed, and cold snaps push beetles, mice and ants into buildings.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Indianapolis property
Unique to Indianapolis
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Indianapolis details that shape every plan we write here.
Begin with water, since it drives mosquitoes, carpenter ants and many other problems. Clear leaf-clogged gutters, empty containers that collect rain, and fix leaking faucets, flashing and window seals. Stack firewood away from the house so ants have less reason to move in.
Next, look at the building envelope. Walk the foundation, door sweeps, window frames and utility entries, and fill gaps before the first October cold snap. Inside an apartment, report bites or droppings quickly, because bed bugs and mice reach neighboring units and work best when the whole building is treated.
