Why Pest Problems Differ Across Naperville
Naperville is the oldest town in DuPage County, settled in 1831. It has grown from about 13,000 residents in 1960 to nearly 150,000 today. That growth means homes of every age, from historic houses near downtown to neighborhoods built in recent decades. The city also sits in both DuPage and Will counties. Even with that range, the median Naperville home was built in 1989.
Nature adds another layer. The DuPage River runs through the city, and the Riverwalk follows it. Forest preserves such as Springbrook Prairie, McDowell Grove and Greene Valley sit along the edges, and the Naperville Park District looks after more than 2,200 acres of parks and open space. Water, shade and open land all shape which pests show up at your door.
