Mequon Mice? Don’t Let Them Make Your House Their Home! – Tips from Will White at Nexus
Pest Solutions
Hey there, Mequon! It’s Will White from Nexus Pest Solutions, and let me tell you, fall is a time
when uninvited guests love to crash the party – especially mice. These little critters are more
than just a nuisance; they can chew through wires, contaminate food, and spread disease.
But fear not, fellow Mequonites! Here at Nexus, we specialize in keeping creepy crawlies out of
your cozy abodes. Today, I’m sharing some top tips to keep those pesky mice out of your
Mequon home:
Seal Up the Fortress:
Think small: Mice can squeeze through holes the size of a dime. Inspect your foundation,
windows, doors, pipes, and utility lines for any gaps or cracks. Caulk those suckers shut!
Consider steel wool for larger openings (mice hate that stuff).
Door duty: Make sure your exterior doors have weatherstripping to block those tiny entryways.
Vent defenders: Don’t forget to cover vents with wire mesh so they become a rodent roadblock.
Cleanliness is Key:
Food foes:
Mice are drawn to the aroma of a well-stocked pantry. Keep food in airtight containers, and
sweep up crumbs regularly. Don’t forget about pet food!
Garbage games: Empty your trash cans frequently and keep lids tightly sealed.
Declutterize: Mice love to nest in clutter. Keep your basement, attic, and crawl spaces tidy to
eliminate hiding spots.
Make Your Yard Unsuitable:
Trim the hedges: Keep bushes and shrubs trimmed away from your house. Mice can use them
as highways to get inside.
Firewood foes: Store firewood at least 20 feet away from your house. This removes a cozy
haven for mice right by your walls.
Compost caution: Be mindful of your compost pile. If it’s overflowing with food scraps, it might
attract unwanted visitors.
Bonus Tip:
Consider traps:
If you suspect a stubborn infestation, consider setting snap traps or bait stations (but be sure to
place them out of reach of children and pets). However, remember, traps are usually a
temporary solution, and it’s best to address the root cause – how they’re getting in.
Still Need Help?
If you’ve tried these tips and those mice are just too persistent, don’t despair! Here at Nexus
Pest Solutions, we’re Mequon’s go-to team for all your rodent removal needs. We offer safe and
effective solutions to keep your home free of unwanted guests. Just give us a call, and we’ll
have your Mequon abode back to a mouse-free haven in no time!
Remember, a proactive approach is key. By following these tips and calling Nexus for
professional help if needed, you can enjoy a mouse-free fall and winter season!

March 24, 2025 Common Pests in Milwaukee: A Seasonal Guide
Milwaukee, with its beautiful lakefront and vibrant city life, also has a diverse range of pests that
can make life difficult for homeowners. As the seasons change, so do the types of pests that are
most active. Understanding these seasonal patterns can help you take proactive steps to
protect your home and prevent infestations.
Spring
As the weather warms up and the snow melts, pests like ants and spiders become more active.
They may have been hibernating in your home during the winter, and now they’re looking for
food and water. You may also start to see more wildlife, such as squirrels and raccoons, as they
become more active in the spring.
Summer
Summer in Milwaukee is a time for outdoor activities, but it’s also a time when stinging insects
are most active. Bees, wasps, and hornets can be a nuisance, and their stings can be painful.
Mosquitoes are also a problem in the summer, as they can transmit diseases like West Nile
Virus.
Fall
As the weather cools down, rodents like mice and rats start to look for warm places to nest.
They may try to enter your home through cracks and holes in the foundation or walls. Fall is also
the time when boxelder bugs and cluster flies start to gather on the sunny sides of homes.
Winter
While you may think that pests are less active in the winter, this is not always the case. Bed
bugs, for example, can be a problem year-round. They are often brought into homes on luggage
or clothing, and they can quickly infest a bed or mattress.
Tips for Prevention
There are a number of things you can do to prevent pests from invading your home, no matter
what the season. Here are a few tips:
● Seal up cracks and holes in your home’s foundation and walls. This will help to prevent
rodents and other pests from getting inside.
● Keep your home clean and clutter-free. Pests are attracted to food and water, so it’s
important to keep your home clean and free of clutter.
● Store food properly. Store food in airtight containers to prevent pests from getting into it.
● Maintain your yard. Keep your grass cut short and trim back bushes and trees. This will help
to reduce the number of places where pests can hide.
When to Call in Professionals
If you have a pest problem that you can’t control on your own, it’s important to call in a
professional pest control company. A professional can help you identify the type of pest you
have and recommend the best course of treatment.
Nexus Pest Solutions is a local pest control company that can help you with all your pest control
needs. We offer a variety of services, including:

March 17, 2025 Hold Up Milwaukee! Don’t Let Just Anyone Battle Your Bugs!
Alright folks, Will White here from Nexus Pest Solutions, and let’s talk about something that
bugs everyone (pun intended!): choosing the right pest control company in Milwaukee.
Listen, nobody wants creepy crawlies crashing your summer cookout or rodents ruining your
winter warm-up. But before you go hiring the first exterminator that pops up on Google, pump
the brakes! Picking the wrong pest control company can be a bigger headache than the pests
themselves.
Here’s the lowdown on what to look for when you’re on the hunt for a pest pro:
1. Licensed and Insured? You Better Believe It!
This is non-negotiable, Milwaukee. A legitimate pest control company is going to have all its
ducks in a row when it comes to licensing and insurance. This protects you in case anything
goes sideways during treatment. Ask to see their credentials – a reputable company will be
happy to show you.
2. Experience Ain’t Just a Number
Sure, everyone starts somewhere, but when it comes to battling bugs, you want someone with
some serious know-how. Find out how long they’ve been in business and if their technicians
have experience dealing with the specific pests invading your space. A seasoned pro will know
the best strategies to kick those critters to the curb for good.
3. Customer Service is King (or Queen!)
Look, dealing with pests is stressful enough. The last thing you need is a pest control company
that treats you like just another number. You want a company that’s responsive, communicative,
and genuinely cares about solving your pest problem. Check online reviews and see what other
Milwaukee residents are saying about their experiences.
4. Don’t Be Shy, Ask About Their Methods!
A good pest control company will be upfront about the products and methods they use. They
should be able to explain the treatment plan in a way you understand and address any concerns
you have about safety for your family and pets.
5. Guarantees Give You Peace of Mind
Listen, sometimes pests are persistent little buggers (literally!). A reputable company will stand
behind their work with a satisfaction guarantee. This means that if the pests come back, so do
they – to finish the job right!
Bonus Tip: Don’t always go for the cheapest option. Sometimes, a lower price means cutting
corners. Investing in a quality pest control company might cost a bit more upfront, but it’ll save
you headaches (and potentially money) in the long run.
Milwaukee, you deserve a pest-free life! Do your research, ask the right questions, and
choose a pest control company that’s got your back (and your front, and your sides – you get
the idea!).
Need a hand with your pest problem? Give Nexus Pest Solutions a shout! We’re licensed,
insured, experienced, and we treat our customers like family. We’re not just here to get rid of
pests; we’re here to give you peace of mind.
Stay pest-free, Milwaukee!

DEET-soaked bands on my ankles and call it a day.” Well, my friend, you’re missing out on
some serious benefits. Here are the top three reasons why Mequon homeowners should invest
in professional mosquito control:

Mosquitoes are more than just an annoying nuisance. They can carry a variety of diseases,

treated for mosquitoes, you can rest assured that you and your family are protected from these
potentially harmful diseases.
2. Enjoy Your Backyard
Mequon is home to some of the most beautiful backyards in the state. But why spend your time
swatting at mosquitoes when you could be enjoying the outdoors? With professional mosquito
control, you can reclaim your backyard and spend more time doing the things you love, like
grilling, gardening, and relaxing with family and friends.
3. Protect Your Property Value
Mosquitoes can be a major turn-off for potential buyers. By keeping your property mosquito-free,
you can increase its value and make it more appealing to buyers.

March 03, 2025 Conquer the Critters: Long-Term Rodent Control with Nexus and Xcluder in Mequon
Winter is coming. As the temperatures drop, rodents like mice and rats are looking for warm, safe havens – and unfortunately, your home can be just what they’re searching for. These unwelcome guests can bring disease, damage your property, and create a general sense of unease. At Nexus Pest Solutions, we understand the frustration and concern that comes with rodent infestations, and we’re committed to providing long-term solutions. That’s why we partner with industry leaders like Xcluder to offer the most effective and lasting rodent-proofing methods available.
Rodents are incredibly persistent. They can squeeze through surprisingly small openings, gnaw through various materials, and reproduce rapidly. Simply setting traps or putting out poison might offer a temporary fix, but it doesn’t address the root of the problem: entry points. That’s where a comprehensive approach, combining professional expertise with high-quality products like Xcluder, makes all the difference.
Nexus Pest Solutions begins with a thorough inspection of your property. We meticulously identify potential entry points, from gaps around pipes and utility lines to cracks in the foundation and openings around windows and doors. We also assess the surrounding environment to understand the factors contributing to the rodent pressure around your home. This detailed assessment allows us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Once we’ve identified the vulnerabilities, we move on to the crucial step of sealing those entry points. This is where Xcluder comes into play. Xcluder is a unique, innovative product designed specifically to block rodents. Unlike traditional sealants that rodents can easily chew through, Xcluder is made with stainless steel wool interwoven with a blend of polyfiber. This creates a barrier that rodents simply can’t penetrate. They can’t chew it, they can’t pull it apart, and they can’t get through it.
We utilize Xcluder in a variety of ways, depending on the specific situation. It can be packed into cracks and crevices, used to fill gaps around pipes, and even incorporated into door sweeps and other vulnerable areas. Because Xcluder is a permanent solution, it provides long-lasting protection against rodent intrusion, giving you peace of mind.
Beyond sealing entry points, Nexus Pest Solutions offers a range of other services to ensure comprehensive rodent control. We might recommend ongoing monitoring and maintenance to identify and address any new vulnerabilities that may arise. We can also implement targeted trapping programs to reduce the existing rodent population. And, if necessary, we can utilize rodenticides strategically and safely to further control infestations.
The key to effective rodent control is a proactive and integrated approach. It’s not enough to simply react to an infestation after it’s already taken hold. By partnering with Nexus Pest Solutions and utilizing the power of Xcluder, you can prevent rodent problems before they start. We’ll help you create a fortress around your home, keeping those unwanted guests out for good.
Don’t wait until you hear those telltale scurrying sounds in your walls. Contact Nexus Pest Solutions today for a comprehensive inspection and let us help you create a rodent-free environment for you and your family. Invest in the long-term protection of your home with the combined expertise of Nexus and the powerful barrier of Xcluder. Your peace of mind is worth it.

February 23, 2025 What Ever Happened to the Murder Hornet? In Mequon
Will White here from Nexus Pest Solutions. I was just reminiscing as I stare out my window at
the falling snow. Remember back in 2019-2020 when everyone was freaking out about the
“Murder Hornet”? Well, you can all relax now. These giant, intimidating wasps haven’t gone
extinct, but they’ve certainly been contained.
The Threat
The Asian giant hornet, nicknamed the “Murder Hornet,” is the world’s largest hornet species.
Native to East Asia, these insects can grow up to two inches long and have a painful sting.
They’re known for their aggressive behavior and ability to decimate entire honeybee colonies.
The Response
When these hornets were first spotted in North America in 2019, there was widespread concern
about their potential impact on our ecosystem. However, swift action was taken to track down
and eradicate their nests.
The Outcome
Thanks to the efforts of entomologists and pest control professionals, the Murder Hornet threat
has been significantly reduced. As of today, no new nests have been found in the United States
since 2021. While there’s always a chance of a new infestation, the risk is currently considered
low.
What You Can Do
While the Murder Hornet threat may have subsided, it’s still important to be aware of other
stinging insects in your area. Here are some tips to protect yourself:
● Avoidswatting at wasps or hornets. This can agitate them and make them more likely
to sting.
● Ifyouseeawasporhornet nest, don’t try to remove it yourself. Contact a
professional pest control company to handle it safely.
● Wearprotective clothing when working outdoors, especially in areas with heavy
insect populations.
By taking these precautions, you can help keep yourself and your family safe from stinging
insects. Well that’s it folks. Once again, this Will White and I would like to leave you with these
thoughts. I know it’s cold out right now, but spring is only a blink away.
If you have any questions or concerns about stinging insects, please don’t hesitate to contact us
at Nexus Pest Solutions. We’re here to help!

February 17, 2025 The IGR Advantage: A Powerful Tool in Pest Control
At Nexus Pest Solutions, we believe in a comprehensive approach to pest control that
goes beyond conventional treatments. One of the most valuable tools in our arsenal is
the use of Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). These innovative products offer a unique
and effective way to target pests at their most vulnerable stage: their development.
How IGRs Work
IGRs disrupt the normal growth and development cycle of insects.
They work by interfering with the insect’s molting process, preventing them from reaching adulthood
and reproducing.
This targeted approach not only eliminates current infestations but
also prevents future generations from developing.
The IGR Advantage
IGRs offer several key advantages:
● Long-lasting protection: IGRs can remain effective for several months, providing
ongoing protection against new infestations.
● Reduced reliance on traditional pesticides: By targeting the insect’s life cycle,
IGRs minimize the need for broad-spectrum insecticides, reducing potential
environmental impact.
● Minimal risk for humans and pets: IGRs are designed to be friendly for humans,
pets, and the environment when used as directed.
Cockroaches and Fleas: A Perfect Match
Cockroaches and fleas are particularly susceptible to the effects of IGRs. These pests
have complex life cycles with multiple stages, making them ideal targets for IGR
technology. By disrupting their development, IGRs can effectively break the cycle of
infestation and prevent future problems.
Nexus Pest Solutions: Your Partner in Pest Control
At Nexus Pest Solutions, we utilize IGRs as part of our integrated pest management
(IPM) approach. Our experienced technicians will assess your specific needs and
recommend the most effective treatment plan, which may include the use of IGRs.
By incorporating IGRs into our pest control strategies, we can provide long-lasting
protection for your home or business.8 Contact us today to learn more about how IGRs
can help you achieve a pest-free environment

February 03, 2025 Boxelder Bugs: Why They’re Invading Your Mequon Home This Winter
As the temperatures begin to drop in Mequon, homeowners might start noticing an unwelcome
guest inside their homes: the boxelder bug. These small, reddish-brown insects are commonly
found in and around boxelder trees, but they can also invade homes in search of warmth during
the winter months.
Here’s why you might be seeing boxelder bugs inside your home:
● Seeking Shelter: Boxelder bugs are looking for a warm, dry place to hibernate during
the winter. Your home provides the perfect environment, with its cozy temperatures and
ample cracks and crevices to hide in.
● Attracted to Light: These bugs are attracted to light, so it’s not uncommon to find them
near windows and other light sources in your home.
● Seasonal Migration: As the weather cools down, boxelder bugs will migrate in large
numbers, increasing the chances of them finding their way into your home.
While boxelder bugs are not harmful to humans or pets, they can be a nuisance and can cause
staining on walls and fabrics. To prevent boxelder bugs from entering your home, consider the
following tips:
● Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home’s exterior for any cracks or gaps where boxelder
bugs could enter. Seal these areas with caulk or weatherstripping.
● Trim Trees and Shrubs: Keep trees and shrubs trimmed away from your home to
reduce the number of boxelder bugs in your yard.
● Install Screens: Make sure your windows and doors are equipped with tight-fitting
screens to prevent boxelder bugs from entering your home.
● Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum regularly to remove any boxelder bugs that may have
made their way inside.
If you’re dealing with a boxelder bug infestation, contact a professional pest control company
like Nexus Pest Solutions. We can help you identify and eliminate the source of the problem and
prevent future infestations.
