What affects the price

When you call to get a price, the total depends on a few specific things. We look at the total square footage of your home, the type of pests you are dealing with, and how long the infestation has been going on. If you need a one-time treatment for a minor issue, that usually costs less than a recurring service plan designed to keep pests away year-round. We also consider the accessibility of the affected areas and the specific products needed to handle the job safely. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Carpenter ants don't eat wood, but they tunnel through it to build nests, which can cause structural damage over time. An exterminator targets these nests directly rather than just killing the ants you see on the counter. You should call us if you find piles of sawdust or hear faint rustling inside your walls. Treatment costs vary based on the number of colonies found and the home's construction. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Summer heat drives pests to seek moisture and shade, often right inside your living space. From ants to stinging insects, the high activity levels can make your outdoor areas unusable and your indoors uncomfortable. Regular treatments are the most effective way to maintain control during these peak months. Call us to keep your home pest-free all summer long.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What should I do if I suspect bed bugs in my Chicago home?

If you suspect bed bugs in your Chicago residence, it's crucial to act promptly. These pests are notoriously difficult to eradicate without professional intervention due to their rapid reproduction and ability to hide in minuscule crevices. Licensed pros will conduct a thorough inspection to confirm the presence of bed bugs and identify the extent of the infestation. They then implement a treatment plan, often involving a combination of heat treatments and residual insecticides, to ensure complete elimination.

How do I get rid of mice in my Chicago apartment?

Removing mice from a Chicago apartment requires a systematic approach. Licensed professionals will first assess the severity of the infestation and identify entry points into your dwelling. They utilize a combination of baiting strategies, trapping methods, and exclusion techniques to effectively remove existing mice and prevent future invasions. Addressing the sanitation and harborage issues that attract mice is also a key component of their service to ensure long-term control.

Exterminators in Chicago offer a wide array of services designed to manage and eliminate a variety of pest issues. This includes comprehensive inspections to identify pest types and infestation levels, followed by targeted treatment plans.

Is diatomaceous earth effective for pest control in Chicago homes?

Diatomaceous earth (DE) can be an effective component of pest control strategies for certain pests in Chicago homes, particularly for crawling insects like ants and cockroaches. Food-grade DE works by abrading the exoskeleton of insects, causing dehydration. However, its effectiveness is dependent on proper application and can be limited in humid Chicago conditions. For severe infestations or structural pests, professional treatments are generally more reliable and comprehensive.
