Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Villa Park
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Villa Park 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.
Mouse droppings in drawers
Droppings in a drawer or on a shelf mean mice are traveling through the cabinets, often from gaps at the back or under the toe kick. We find and seal those openings and set traps.
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.
Pantry moths and beetles in food
Small moths or beetles in flour and cereal come from infested dry goods. Cleaning out the pantry and storing food in sealed containers is the main fix, and we help find the source.
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.
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
Mice in the ceiling usually travel along plumbing and wiring runs. Exclusion at those penetrations is the long-term fix.
Roaches in cabinets and around the sink
Moisture under the sink keeps roaches coming back. Sealing, bait placement and fixing drips go together.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from Villa Park homeowners
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the pest and how established it is. We tell you the plan after the inspection.
Are your technicians licensed?
Pest control applications are done by technicians licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Do I need to prepare before the visit?
Clear the sink base and the cabinets you're seeing activity in, and clean up crumbs. We'll tell you exactly what for your situation.
What can I put in my cabinets to keep bugs away?
Sealed containers for dry food, cleaning up crumbs and fixing leaks do more than any repellent. We can seal gaps at the cabinet back.
Why do roaches spread in multi-unit buildings?
In buildings with many units, pests move between kitchens. We seal your side and recommend talking to management.

It depends on the scope. Villa Park's rule in short: Permit required for adding, replacing or relocating plumbing fixtures, electrical or HVAC systems, and for moving or building walls. We handle the permit when one is needed with Permitting Division, Community & Economic Development.
