Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Plainfield
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Plainfield 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.
Pests that came back after DIY sprays
If spraying worked for a week and then they returned, the source was untouched. We find and treat the harborage.
Ants trailing to the counter
Wiping up a trail only removes the scouts. Baits that reach the colony and sealing the entry work better.
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.
Moisture under the sink
Damp cabinet floors attract roaches and other pests. We point out leaks or condensation that need fixing as part of the plan.
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.
Cockroaches at night
Seeing one cockroach at night usually means a population behind or under something. Inspection with a flashlight and sticky monitors shows where to treat.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from Plainfield homeowners
Why do roaches spread in multi-unit buildings?
Shared walls, plumbing chases and gaps around pipes connect units. Treating one apartment helps, but coordinated building treatment is more effective.
Do I need to prepare before the visit?
We give you a short prep list when you book.
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.
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.
What are the most common kitchen pests?
Roaches, mice, ants and insects in stored food are the ones we see most in kitchens.
Do you work in my part of Plainfield?
