Cockroaches at night
Roaches hide by day in warm, tight spaces like hinges, the motor area of the fridge and gaps behind the backsplash. Gel baits placed in those harborages work far better than spraying open surfaces.

Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Elk Grove Village
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Elk Grove Village visits start with an inspection of cabinets, the sink base and the spaces behind the fridge and range, then combine exclusion, sanitation advice and baits or traps placed where the pests travel.
Ants trailing to the counter
In spring, ants often come in along windows, door frames and counters. We identify the type and treat accordingly.
Pantry moths and beetles in food
We inspect the pantry and cabinets, show you what to throw out and set monitors to confirm they are gone.
Moisture under the sink
Water is as important to pests as food. A slow drip under the sink can keep an infestation going.
Scratching in the walls or ceiling
Mice in the ceiling usually travel along plumbing and wiring runs. Exclusion at those penetrations is the long-term fix.
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.
Kids and pets in the home
With children and pets, placement matters most. Baits go into cracks and enclosed stations, not on open floors.
Worried about chemicals near food
Treatment is applied by IDPH-licensed technicians who place products away from food, dishes and areas kids and pets can reach.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from Elk Grove Village homeowners
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.
Why do roaches spread in multi-unit buildings?
Shared walls, plumbing chases and gaps around pipes connect units. Treating one apartment helps, but coordinated building treatment is more effective.
Why do I have cockroaches in my kitchen?
They come for food, water and warm hiding places. Crumbs, a leak under the sink or gaps behind appliances keep them there. In multi-unit buildings, they also move between units.
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.
How do I get rid of mice in kitchen cabinets?
Seal the entry points, remove food sources and trap along their routes. We find where they're getting in, which is the step most people miss.
Do you work in my part of Elk Grove Village?
Yes. Our crews work across Elk Grove Village — ZIP 60007 — and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Schaumburg.
