Roaches spreading between units
In Palatine buildings with many units, roaches travel through shared walls, pipe chases and gaps around plumbing. Sealing your unit's penetrations limits that, and building-wide treatment works best.

Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Palatine
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Palatine 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.
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.
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.
Pests behind the refrigerator and stove
The motor area of a fridge is a common roach harborage. We inspect it and place bait in cracks nearby.
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.
Ants trailing to the counter
Wiping up a trail only removes the scouts. Baits that reach the colony and sealing the entry work better.
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.
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 Palatine homeowners
Why do I have cockroaches in my kitchen?
Even clean kitchens get roaches. Water, warmth and hiding spots matter as much as crumbs.
How do I get rid of mice in kitchen cabinets?
Traps alone catch mice but don't stop new ones. Sealing gaps around pipes and under the cabinets is what makes the difference.
Is your treatment safe around food, kids and pets?
Treatment is applied by IDPH-licensed technicians, following product labels, and we tell you what to keep away from.
Do I need to prepare before the visit?
We give you a short prep list when you book.
How much does kitchen pest control cost?
It depends on the pest, how established it is and how many visits are needed. We give a written, itemized estimate after the inspection.
Do Palatine condo associations need to approve kitchen pest control visit?
Associations usually set rules for work hours, elevators, deliveries and insurance, and many require approval for plumbing, electrical or structural changes. We provide the certificate of insurance and follow the building's rules.
