Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Glen Ellyn
Kitchens draw pests because they offer food, water and warm hiding spots behind appliances and under the sink. In Glen Ellyn 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.
Kids and pets in the home
With children and pets, placement matters most. Baits go into cracks and enclosed stations, not on open floors.
Ants trailing to the counter
Ant trails show where they come in. We follow the line to the entry point, place baits the workers carry back to the colony, and seal the gap.
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.
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.
Cockroaches at night
If you see roaches when you turn on the light, there are more hiding nearby. We find the harborage areas and place baits there, then monitor activity.
Gaps around pipes and gas lines
We seal penetrations behind the stove, the fridge water line and the sink, which are the usual routes into a kitchen.
Our cleaning checklist
- InspectionA flashlight inspection of the kitchen shows where pests hide, feed and enter.
- Identifying the pestGerman cockroach, mouse, ant or pantry pest: the species decides the treatment.
- Sealing entry pointsGaps around pipes, gas lines and cabinet backs are sealed to cut off access.
- Sanitation adviceWe point out food sources, clutter and moisture that keep pests around.
- Targeted treatmentGel baits in cracks for roaches, traps and stations for mice, baits for ants, placed away from food areas.
- MonitoringWe place monitors to track results between visits.
- Follow-up visitWe return to check monitors and traps, add bait if needed and confirm entry points stay sealed.
Methods we use
Ant baitsPlaced near the trail so ants take it back to the nest.
Gel baits for cockroachesRoaches eat the bait and carry it back to their hiding spots.
Exclusion materialsCopper or steel mesh, sealants and escutcheon plates close gaps around pipes.
Snap traps and enclosed stations for miceTraps placed on mouse routes, checked and removed at follow-up.
Sealed food storageAirtight containers for flour, cereal and pet food take away an easy food source.
