Your home deserves protection from pests. As a locally owned family business serving the Shorewood area for over a decade, we know what pests threaten your neighborhood.
Sanctuary Pest Control has been protecting Shorewood homes since 2016. Based just minutes away on Langsford Ln in Plainfield, we understand the unique pest challenges across Shorewood—from the newer residential developments in this growing community to the proximity with wooded areas like Hammel Woods and the DuPage River corridor. Whether you’re dealing with carpenter ants in wooded lots, rodents in your foundation, or mosquitoes breeding near waterways, we provide the professional care your home needs.
Carpenter ants are a major concern in Shorewood, particularly in residential developments adjacent to Hammel Woods and wooded areas throughout the community. Newer homes near mature tree lines face infestation risk from colonies bridging branches to structures, while older homes in established neighborhoods are vulnerable where moisture has softened wood around windows, decks, and crawl spaces over the years.
Mosquitoes breed prolifically near the DuPage River, throughout retention pond systems in newer subdivisions, and in standing water from aging gutters and low-lying yards in established areas. Shorewood’s mix of newer developments with storm management systems and older neighborhoods with mature landscaping means mosquito pressure is a community-wide issue from spring through fall.
Rodents and field mice seek shelter in Shorewood homes year-round. Newer construction near previously undeveloped land sees activity as building disturbs natural habitat, while older homes with settled foundations, aging weather stripping, and gaps around utility penetrations offer easy entry points that worsen over time.
Ants of various species, including pavement ants and odorous house ants, become active throughout Shorewood during warm months. Newer subdivisions with developing landscaping and older neighborhoods with mature gardens both provide harborage for ant colonies that send foragers into kitchens, bathrooms, and along foundation perimeters.
Voles and moles damage landscaping and garden areas across Shorewood. New landscaping installations are vulnerable to tunneling damage, and established yards with deep-rooted gardens and thick turf are equally attractive to these burrowing pests.
Quarterly Pest Control is our foundation service for Shorewood homeowners. We create a year-round protection plan that adjusts to seasonal pest activity, keeping your home protected through spring rodent activity, summer mosquito surges, fall carpenter ant prevention, and winter pest harboring. Each quarterly visit includes a thorough inspection and targeted treatments specific to your home’s conditions.
Rodent Exclusion is especially important for Shorewood’s newer homes. We don’t just set traps—we identify and seal every potential entry point in your foundation, roofline, and utility penetrations. Our exclusion work is backed by ongoing monitoring to ensure rodents stay out for good.
Mosquito Control helps Shorewood families reclaim their outdoor spaces and enjoy the natural beauty of the community. Our barrier treatments target mosquito resting areas around your property, and we address standing water sources that fuel breeding. Homes near the DuPage River corridor see dramatic improvement with our targeted approach.
Specialty Treatments address specific infestations that require targeted solutions. Whether it’s a carpenter ant colony near Hammel Woods, a wasp nest under your eaves, or vole damage in your landscaping, we deploy the right treatment for the situation.

Our Plainfield headquarters puts us just minutes from anywhere in Shorewood, which means faster response times and genuine familiarity with your neighborhood’s pest conditions.
