Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Northbrook
Whether it is cockroaches at night, droppings in a drawer or a line of ants along the counter, we work out the species and the source first. In Northbrook homes we seal entry points, place gel baits or traps away from food prep, and come back to monitor. We explain what is used and where.
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.
Kids and pets in the home
We tell you what is used and where, use tamper-resistant stations where needed and place traps out of reach.
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.
Moisture under the sink
We check the sink base for leaks and damp spots and tell you what needs repair.
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.
Mouse droppings in drawers
Mice use the space under the base cabinets as a highway. We look for droppings and rub marks, seal entry points and place traps along their routes.
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.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from Northbrook homeowners
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.
Why do I have cockroaches in my kitchen?
Roaches can arrive in boxes or groceries or travel from neighbors. Moisture and food sources let them settle in.
Is your treatment safe around food, kids and pets?
Placement keeps products away from counters, dishes and reachable areas. Tell us about kids and pets so we plan for them.
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?
We inspect for droppings and openings, seal gaps and set traps in the cabinet voids.
