Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Hoffman Estates
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Hoffman Estates 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.
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.
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.
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.
Moisture under the sink
We check the sink base for leaks and damp spots and tell you what needs repair.
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.
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.
Worried about chemicals near food
Integrated pest management relies on sealing, sanitation and targeted placement rather than broad spraying in the kitchen.
Our cleaning checklist
- InspectionWe inspect cabinets, the sink base, behind appliances, the pantry and entry points, and identify the pest.
