Where the pressure builds in Mount Prospect

- The commercial and the food-service corridors — the restaurants and the businesses that deal with the roaches, the flies, and the rodents.
- The wooded and the creek areas — the ticks, the mosquitoes, and the termites of the humid lots.
- The agricultural and the field edges — the deer mice, the ground squirrels, and the boxelder bugs that move in from the cropland.
