Carthage, MO
Carthage, Missouri has plenty of history, including a beautiful town square that dates back to the Civil War era. With a population of approximately 15,000 people, Carthage is the county seat of Jasper County. Because we are based in Joplin, we can respond quickly to many of our neighboring communities while providing dependable, professional pest control services. Many of Carthage’s older homes have basements where moisture can become an issue. Damp environments are attractive to a variety of pests, including camel crickets (sometimes called cave or spider crickets), American cockroaches, Oriental cockroaches, and other moisture-loving insects. High humidity can also create favorable conditions for subterranean termites.
There is plenty to see and do in Carthage. If you would like more information about its rich history, you can visit the Jasper County website for more information about Carthage.
Webb City, MO
Webb City is the closest community to Joplin, with areas that often blend into the surrounding Joplin and Webb City communities. It has plenty of pest pressure and is often one of our busiest service areas. We have received several pest calls about scorpions in the areas between Webb City and Carterville, partly because of the old mining areas that once thrived throughout this region.
Scorpions are drawn to the rocky terrain and do well in the “chat” lands, where they can find abundant hiding places. They can leave these areas and wander into garages, homes, and businesses. While our local scorpions are not generally considered medically significant, their sting can be painful and is often compared to a bee or wasp sting. Rodents and most insects are more active during the warmer months but can be found throughout the year.
Here is a useful tip:
If you suspect scorpions around your home, use a black UV flashlight after dark. Scorpions fluoresce under ultraviolet light, making them much easier to spot in rock piles, landscaping, garages, crawlspaces, and around foundations. This works whether the scorpion is alive or dead.
If you’re finding scorpions inside your home or business, Jelco Pest Solutions can inspect the property, identify possible entry points, and recommend treatment options to help reduce future activity.
Neosho, MO
Neosho is located about 20 miles south of Joplin and is known for its historic downtown, parks, and beautiful natural scenery. Our pest control service area includes not only Neosho itself but also many surrounding rural communities, such as Goodman and Diamond.
The larger lots, wooded areas, and rolling hills throughout Newton County create excellent habitats for termites, ants, spiders, rodents, and many other pests. Homes with crawlspaces and mature landscaping often experience seasonal pest activity, making routine pest control an important part of protecting the home.
Whether you live in town or on a rural property outside Neosho, Jelco Pest Solutions provides dependable pest control services designed specifically for the pest pressures common to Southwest Missouri.
Here is a useful Tip:
When encountering Fleas, place a flea collar inside your vacuum cleaner bag or canister. Vacuum often and always empty it outdoors in the trash can!
