Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Bartlett
Kitchens draw pests because they offer food, water and warm hiding spots behind appliances and under the sink. In Bartlett we use integrated pest management: find where they live and get in, seal the gaps, remove what feeds them and apply targeted treatment. Treatment is applied by IDPH-licensed technicians.
Moisture under the sink
We check the sink base for leaks and damp spots and tell you what needs repair.
Scratching in the walls or ceiling
Noise at night in the kitchen ceiling or walls often comes from mice moving between floors. We check the gaps around pipes, vents and the gas line.
Cockroaches at night
Seeing one cockroach at night usually means a population behind or under something. Inspection with a flashlight and sticky monitors shows where to treat.
Pantry moths and beetles in food
Pantry pests live in the food itself, so treatment starts with finding and discarding infested packages and cleaning the shelves.
Worried about chemicals near food
We use baits, gels and traps placed in cracks and voids, away from counters and food prep. We explain what is used and where.
Kids and pets in the home
With children and pets, placement matters most. Baits go into cracks and enclosed stations, not on open floors.
Roaches in cabinets and around the sink
Cockroaches gather where plumbing comes through the cabinet back. Closing those gaps and placing bait in the voids cuts them off.

Are your technicians licensed?
Yes. In Illinois, applying pesticides in homes requires a license from the Department of Public Health, and our treatments are done by licensed technicians.
How much does kitchen pest control cost?
The species, the size of the problem and the sealing work drive the price. You get a line-item estimate first.
