Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Park Ridge
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Park Ridge 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.
Gaps around pipes and gas lines
Openings where pipes and the gas line enter cabinets are pest highways. We seal them with materials that pests can't chew through easily.
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.
Worried about chemicals near food
Integrated pest management relies on sealing, sanitation and targeted placement rather than broad spraying in the kitchen.
Cockroaches at night
Roaches hide by day in warm, tight spaces like hinges, the motor area of the fridge and gaps behind the backsplash. Gel baits placed in those harborages work far better than spraying open surfaces.
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.
Ants trailing to the counter
In spring, ants often come in along windows, door frames and counters. We identify the type and treat accordingly.
Kids and pets in the home
With children and pets, placement matters most. Baits go into cracks and enclosed stations, not on open floors.
