Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Hanover Park
Kitchens draw pests because they offer food, water and warm hiding spots behind appliances and under the sink. In Hanover Park 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.
Roaches in cabinets and around the sink
The sink base and the cabinets next to the dishwasher have water and warmth. We seal pipe gaps, treat cracks with bait and advise on fixing any leaks.
Ants trailing to the counter
In spring, ants often come in along windows, door frames and counters. We identify the type and treat accordingly.
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.
Worried about chemicals near food
Integrated pest management relies on sealing, sanitation and targeted placement rather than broad spraying in the kitchen.
Pests that came back after DIY sprays
Over-the-counter products and baits can conflict when used together. We review what you've used and plan around it.
Mouse droppings in drawers
Small droppings in the utensil drawer are a sign to act quickly. We locate how they get in and focus trapping in the cabinet voids.
Pests behind the refrigerator and stove
Behind and under the range is where crumbs collect. Cleaning it out removes a food source that keeps pests around.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from Hanover Park homeowners
What are the most common kitchen pests?
In Chicago-area kitchens, German cockroaches, house mice, ants and pantry pests like moths and beetles.
What can I put in my cabinets to keep bugs away?
Sealed containers for dry food, cleaning up crumbs and fixing leaks do more than any repellent. We can seal gaps at the cabinet back.
Are your technicians licensed?
Pest control applications are done by technicians licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Do you use integrated pest management?
Yes, IPM is how we work in kitchens, because it uses less product where people prepare food.
How many visits will I need?
Usually an initial treatment plus follow-up visits to check monitors and adjust. Roaches often need more follow-up than mice or ants.
Do you work in my part of Hanover Park?
Yes. Our crews work across Hanover Park, including Ontarioville — ZIP 60133 — and nearby Bartlett, Roselle, Bloomingdale.
