Services
Bed Bug Control
Our bed bug control service employs advanced detection and treatment methods to eliminate infestations at all life stages. We use heat treatments and EPA-registered chemicals to target hiding spots in mattresses, furniture, and walls. Each intervention includes follow-up inspections to ensure complete eradication while maintaining safety for residents.
Mosquito Control
This service targets mosquito breeding grounds through yard inspections and larvicide applications. Our technicians apply barrier sprays to vegetation and standing water areas while educating clients on prevention strategies. Treatments are timed for maximum effectiveness during peak mosquito seasons in Chicago.
Rodent Control
We implement exclusion techniques to seal entry points combined with trapping and baiting systems for mice and rats. The service includes identifying food sources, repairing structural vulnerabilities, and providing ongoing monitoring to prevent re-infestation in residential and commercial properties.
Ant Control
Our ant control strategy targets entire colonies using gel baits and perimeter treatments. Technicians locate nests in walls or outdoor structures and apply solutions that disrupt colony communication and reproduction cycles. Preventative measures are included to deter future ant invasions.
Commercial Pest Control
This service provides customized pest management plans for businesses, including regular inspections and documentation for compliance. We address industry-specific challenges while minimizing operational disruption. Treatments use food-safe products where required and integrate with clients' schedules for maximum convenience.
