Finding Pest Control in Chicago

For homeowners in Chicago, a single call to 855-926-0854 connects you with a vetted pest control company that is working in your area.

There is no form and no account, and there's no obligation.

Common Pest Problems in Chicago
Chicago sits in the Midwest, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from Chicago cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.
- Shared walls and older buildings. In denser parts of Chicago, bed bugs, roaches and mice move between apartments and rowhouses through shared walls and plumbing chases.
- Cold snaps send mice and squirrels inside. Mice, rats and squirrels look for an attic, wall void or garage once temperatures drop, and they keep chewing wiring through winter.
- Short, intense summers. Wasps, mosquitoes and ants peak fast in the warm months, and bed bugs travel through apartments, hotels and used furniture all year.
- Termites in Illinois. Termite risk in Illinois is moderate, and it is highest in homes with moisture at the foundation or wood touching soil.
- Winter and rodents. Cold winters drive mice, rats and squirrels indoors from fall on, and heated attics and crawl spaces stay busy until spring.
Can it wait?
When to Call an Exterminator in Chicago Right Away
- Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
- Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
- A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
- Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
- Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
- Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.

Do exterminators cover my neighborhood in Chicago?
