A Guide to Preventing Pests in Carrier Mills, IL Homes


At KB's Pest & Termite Control, we want to help Carrier Mills, IL homeowners create a less inviting environment for common pests. Most pests are looking for three things: food, water, and shelter. By limiting their access, you can significantly reduce your risk of an infestation.

  • Seal Potential Entry Points: Pests can enter through tiny cracks and openings. Regularly inspect the exterior of your Carrier Mills, IL home for gaps around utility pipes, vents, and foundation cracks. Seal these with caulk or steel wool. Ensure weather stripping on doors and windows is intact.
  • Eliminate Moisture and Standing Water: Pests are drawn to water. Fix all leaky pipes and faucets promptly. Ensure your gutters are clean and downspouts direct water away from the foundation. Eliminate any standing water in your yard, as this is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
  • Maintain Smart Sanitation Practices In the House: Clean up crumbs and spills immediately. Store food (including pet food) in airtight containers. Take out the trash regularly and keep bins clean. Reduce clutter in basements, attics, and garages. Piles of boxes, paper, and clothing provide ideal hiding spots for pests like spiders and rodents.
  • Manage Your Landscape: Keep tree branches and shrubs trimmed back from your house, as these can act as bridges for pests like ants. Store firewood at least 20 feet away from your Carrier Mills, IL home and off the ground. Firewood piles are a prime location for termites and other pests. Keep mulch beds a few inches away from your foundation.
  • Be Vigilant About What You Bring Inside: Check grocery bags, cardboard boxes from deliveries, and second-hand furniture for signs of pests like roaches or bed bugs before bringing them into your home.By following these proactive steps, you can make your Carrier Mills, IL home a much less attractive target for pests. For complete protection, a professional preventative service plan from KB's Pest & Termite Control is your best defense.

Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

Carrier Mills, formerly Carrier's Mills and Morrilsville, also known as Catskin, is a village in Saline County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,672 at the 2020 census. Carrier Mills was named after George Washington Carrier's saw and grist mills, and was one of the early Cairo and Vincennes Railroad boomtowns. Founded as a mill town and then a coal mining community, Carrier Mills has slowly lost 44% of its population since the 1920 census high of 3,000, due to the decline of the local coal industry. The village has primarily become a bedroom community, located seven miles (11 km) southwest of Harrisburg, which is the village's main source of employment, entertainment, and shopping. It is the third largest community in the Harrisburg Micropolitan Statistical Area outside of Eldorado and Harrisburg, and included in the Illinois-Indiana-Kentucky Tri-State Area. Carrier Mills also has a large African American population at 15%, compared to its neighbors, due to migration from the nearby community of Lakeview, the oldest African American settlement in the state of Illinois.
