Pest Control in Madison, WI

Local Exterminators Who Know Madison

Strib Pest Control is headquartered right here in Madison at 2522 Agriculture Dr, minutes from the Beltline — which means when a Madison homeowner finds mouse droppings in the pantry or a restaurant on the Capitol Square spots a cockroach before a health inspection, we're not driving in from somewhere else. We treat the whole city daily, from Allied Drive to Maple Bluff, and our technicians know Madison's housing and pest patterns block by block.

Madison's geography practically invites pests indoors. The downtown isthmus sits squeezed between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, and all that shoreline moisture feeds heavy spider and mosquito activity from May through September — anyone with a porch light near the lakes knows the orb weavers that show up by August. The near-east side's early-1900s bungalows in Atwood, Marquette and Tenney-Lapham have stone and mortar foundations with decades of settling gaps, ideal entry points for field mice every October and nesting territory for carpenter ants wherever an old sill plate has taken on water. West side neighborhoods like Midvale Heights and the newer subdivisions out past the research park see a different mix: pavement ants in slab cracks, yellowjackets in landscape retaining walls, and voles working the lawns.

Then there's campus. UW–Madison's 50,000 students turn over tens of thousands of leases every August, and with that churn comes the metro area's highest bed bug pressure — secondhand furniture, moving trucks, and dense multi-unit housing around Langdon, Mifflin and Regent Street. We do discreet, thorough bed bug inspections and treatments for tenants, landlords and property managers, and we build recurring programs for apartment buildings so one unit's problem doesn't become the whole building's.

Madison's commercial scene keeps us just as busy. State Street and Capitol Square restaurants, Willy Street groceries, East Washington's new mixed-use towers, and the food-production and lab facilities on the south and east sides all carry compliance stakes — a rodent sighting can mean a failed inspection or a lost contract. Our commercial IPM programs include documented monitoring, exclusion work and treatment logs that stand up to health department and third-party audits.

As the Dane County seat and our home base, Madison gets our fastest response times — often next-day, always without a travel fee. Whether it's a one-time wasp nest removal in Nakoma or a year-round protection plan for a Hilldale storefront, we handle it with pet- and family-conscious products and straight answers.
