Why Kenosha

Why Kenosha Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Bed bugs move with people, and Kenosha has more movement than a city this size would otherwise generate. They travel in luggage, mattresses and second-hand furniture, and in a rental market with frequent turnover an untreated unit passes them to the next tenant rather than to nobody.

The building stock spreads them. Duplexes, converted houses and apartment blocks share wall voids and plumbing chases, so a population in one unit is within reach of the next, and treating a single apartment while the building goes untouched has never yet solved it.

Common Questions

Kenosha Pest Questions, Answered

Bed bugs right after moving in.
They almost certainly did not come with you. They survive between tenancies in a bed frame joint, a headboard or behind an outlet plate, and start feeding on whoever arrives next. Report it in writing on day one, and do not move the mattress to another room, because that is how one bedroom becomes three.
Landlords — what actually works?
Inspecting and treating between tenancies rather than after a complaint. It costs less, it is easier with the unit empty, and it stops the same problem circulating through the building for years. Treating one unit while the neighbours go untouched does not hold.
Second-hand furniture from the kerb.
Never take upholstered items, and inspect anything with joints or seams thoroughly before it comes indoors. It is the single most common way both bed bugs and cockroaches enter a home in this city. Items left out after an eviction or a clear-out are the highest risk of all, precisely because of why they were put there.
Roaches in a clean apartment.
In a shared building cleanliness is not the deciding factor. They live in the chases and travel between units, so a tidy apartment beside an untreated one still gets them. This has to be raised with management. Keeping a dated written record of every report also matters if the problem drags on, because it is the thing that gets a building-wide treatment approved.
Mice in a second-floor flat.
They enter at ground level and travel up inside the wall cavities, which in older converted houses run continuously between floors. The entry to find is at the bottom of the building, not near where you are hearing them.
