Why Sun Prairie

Why Sun Prairie Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Building onto working crop ground creates a predictable annual event. Corn provides cover and food all summer, and when it comes off in autumn that cover disappears within days, sending the resident mice and voles toward whatever is standing — which is the newest street on the edge of the development.

The pace of building adds the second half. Ground is graded, services are trenched and lots are turned over faster than the drainage settles, so new detention basins hold water longer than intended and freshly disturbed soil pushes displaced insects toward the houses already occupied.

Common Questions

Sun Prairie Pest Questions, Answered

Mice arrive the week the corn comes off.
That is exactly what happens, and it is predictable enough to work around. The cover disappears in a couple of days and the nearest building is the obvious destination. Sealing thresholds, vents and service penetrations in early September changes the outcome; trapping in November does not.
We are the last street before the field.
Then you take the first of everything until the next phase is built beyond you. It is temporary, but while it lasts a maintained exterior barrier and a properly sealed ground level are worth the money.
Where do the gaps come from on a new house?
Usually the trades. Where the gas line, water line or cable passes through the wall, the hole is often left unsealed behind the trim. It is worth going round the outside of a new house with a torch before the first autumn. Looking from inside the garage with the lights off is the other quick test, because daylight showing through tells you exactly where to work.
Mosquitoes in a brand new subdivision.
The detention basin at the end of the street is the source in most cases. It is designed to hold water and it does, and it is well within flight range of every house in the phase.
Nests in the ground in the new lawn.
Yellow jackets take over old rodent burrows, and former crop ground has plenty of them. Mower vibration usually sets them off before you spot the entrance, so mark it in daylight and treat after dark.
