Pest Control in New Berlin, WI

Connect With a Local Pro Who Knows Waukesha County

New Berlin was farm township land, and it was built out lot by lot rather than all at once. The result is a suburb with unusually large parcels, and with the old field hedgerows and treelines still standing along what are now property boundaries. PestAlly is a free service connecting New Berlin homeowners with independent, licensed local pest control pros working Waukesha County.

Why New Berlin

Why New Berlin Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Those surviving hedgerows are the thing that makes this place different. A field boundary that was left in place is decades of unmanaged growth, brush and old fence posts, and it works as a continuous corridor carrying rodents, rabbits and insects from one end of a neighbourhood to the other without ever crossing open ground.

The size of the lots changes the practical side. There is no shared pressure to spread the problem thinly, outbuildings and sheds sit well away from the house, and a large mown lawn beside an unmanaged treeline gives voles a permanent edge to work along.

Common Questions

New Berlin Pest Questions, Answered

Runs through the lawn every spring.
Voles working along the edge between mown grass and the hedgerow, usually under snow cover where nobody sees it happening. Keeping a short-mown strip along the boundary removes the cover they need, and it is far more effective than treating the lawn itself.
Should we clear the old hedgerow?
Thinning it usually helps more than removing it. Cutting back the brushy base, clearing rotten fence posts and keeping the ground beneath open takes away the shelter without losing the trees or the screening.
Nests in the ground along the fence line.
Old fence rows are full of abandoned burrows, which is exactly what yellow jackets want. They are largest and most defensive in late summer, and treating after dark when the whole colony is home is both safer and more effective.
Mice in the shed before the house.
That is the usual order on a large lot. The outbuilding is easier to enter and holds more clutter; the house is the warmer second choice once the cold sets in. Sealing both, and clearing the shed floor, is what stops the sequence.
Carpenter ants near the old fence.
Buried and rotting fence timber makes a good colony site, and it is close enough to the buildings for foraging. Removing the old posts rather than leaving them in the ground is worth doing while you are working on the boundary anyway.
