Kitchen pest problems we deal with in West Chicago
Kitchens draw pests because they offer food, water and warm hiding spots behind appliances and under the sink. In West Chicago we use integrated pest management: find where they live and get in, seal the gaps, remove what feeds them and apply targeted treatment. Treatment is applied by IDPH-licensed technicians.
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.
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.
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.
Worried about chemicals near food
We use baits, gels and traps placed in cracks and voids, away from counters and food prep. We explain what is used and where.
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.
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.
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.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from West Chicago homeowners
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.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the pest and how established it is. We tell you the plan after the inspection.
Do you use integrated pest management?
That is our approach: fix the conditions, close entry points, treat where pests live and track results.
Why do roaches spread in multi-unit buildings?
Roaches travel through walls and pipes between units. Sealing your kitchen's openings limits it.
What are the most common kitchen pests?
Roaches, mice, ants and insects in stored food are the ones we see most in kitchens.
Do I need a permit for kitchen pest control visit in West Chicago?
It depends on the scope. West Chicago's rule in short: West Chicago requires a building permit for certain home improvement and remodeling projects; the city publishes an Additions & Remodeling permit guide with a submittal checklist. We handle the permit when one is needed with Community Development Department.
