A Community We're Proud to Serve
Shawano is the county seat of Shawano County, located along the Wolf River about 40 miles northwest of Green Bay. Founded in the 1840s, the city grew as a logging and agricultural center and remains the commercial hub for the surrounding rural communities and tribal lands of the Stockbridge-Munsee and Menominee Nations. Shawano's location at the intersection of forests, farmland, and the Wolf River creates one of the most diverse pest and wildlife environments in Northeast Wisconsin — from agricultural rodent pressure to significant wildlife intrusion in residential areas.
Shawano's Rural Setting Drives Wildlife & Pest Activity
Shawano County's forests, farmland, and Wolf River proximity create a challenging pest environment for local homeowners and businesses:
- Spring: Ants emerge across the county — pavement ants and carpenter ants are the most common calls.
- Summer: Mosquitoes from the Wolf River area and county wetlands make outdoor living difficult.
- Summer: Wasps and hornets are especially active around rural properties and outbuildings.
- Fall: Raccoons, squirrels, and skunks are common wildlife intruders in Shawano attics and crawl spaces.
- Fall: Field rodents migrate into homes and farm buildings from surrounding cropland.
"Shawano has some of the most diverse pest activity in our service area — from wildlife intrusion to heavy mosquito pressure near the river. We've built programs specifically for this region and they work."
