Why Do Bed Bug Infestations In Pekin Increase In The Summer?
As the temperature rises, the extra humidity and heat make bed bugs more active. Not only will they be looking to feed more, but they'll reproduce more as well – which is why you're more likely to deal with a bed bug infestation during the spring and summertime.
Added to the warming temperatures, summer is a prime time for travel. Bed bugs are hitchhiking pests and make their way from one place to another on the clothing and belongings of unsuspecting people. You can pick up bed bugs at hotels, airports, train stations, or anywhere else where large numbers of people gather. And your guests can just as unwittingly bring bed bugs into your home.
People aren't the only ones vacationing this summer, so it's worth it to keep a sharp eye out for bed bugs trying to catch a ride home in your luggage.
Just How Dangerous Are Cockroaches In Pekin?
Most people know cockroaches aren't the cleanest creatures on earth, but not everyone knows just how unsanitary or gross these pests can really be. While a cockroach's goal may be to invade your home, they don't just infest homes – these critters also hang out in sewers, drains, and other less-than-clean places, where they can easily pick up bacteria and pathogens.
Certain species, like German cockroaches, tend to prefer unsanitary locations so they can feast on organic matter and reproduce. Unfortunately, all their time in sewers and drains means that cockroaches can be a health concern for your home. They can contaminate your family and home with bacteria like salmonella, staphylococcus, and streptococcus. They can also make allergies and asthmatic symptoms worse, especially in younger children, due to an enzyme found in their saliva, droppings, and discarded skin.

Common Spiders in Pekin, IL
The most common species of spiders found living and invading properties in Pekin, Illinois include the following:
Black Widow Spider
These spiders are venomous. If bitten, the venom will affect a person’s nervous system. These spiders are shiny black in color and have a distinct red hourglass-like marking on their backs.
Brown Recluse Spider
These spiders are also venomous. The venom from a brown recluse spider bite will cause the area around the bite to ulcerate. The wound is slow to heal and can be prone to infection. Brown recluse spiders have yellowish-brown to dark brown bodies and very long legs that are a darker color than the rest of their body. They also have a unique violin-like pattern on the top of their body.

House spiders
These spiders are the most common species of spider to be found living and hiding out in homes and other buildings. They are yellowish-brown in color with a white colored abdomen and dark chevron-like markings on their body and legs.
Wolf spider
These spiders do not create webs to catch their prey. Instead, they hunt and chase down their prey. Wolf spiders have a stout body that is covered in hair and their hunting speed comes from their eight spiny legs.
Yellow Sac Spiders
