Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Wheaton
Spraying the baseboards rarely solves a kitchen pest problem. Our Wheaton 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
The hole cut for the sink drain is often much larger than the pipe. Sealing it, plus escutcheon plates, closes a common entry.
Pests behind the refrigerator and stove
Warmth and crumbs behind appliances attract roaches and mice. We pull them out where possible, inspect, clean the debris and treat the area.
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.
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
We trace sounds to likely routes and seal the openings mice use to reach the kitchen.
Kids and pets in the home
With children and pets, placement matters most. Baits go into cracks and enclosed stations, not on open floors.
Pests that came back after DIY sprays
Store-bought sprays can scatter roaches deeper into walls and don't affect eggs. A plan built on baits, sealing and monitoring works better.

Kitchen Pest Control questions from Wheaton homeowners
Do you use integrated pest management?
That is our approach: fix the conditions, close entry points, treat where pests live and track results.
Is your treatment safe around food, kids and pets?
We use baits, gels and traps placed in cracks, voids and enclosed stations, not sprayed on food areas. We explain what is used and where.
Are your technicians licensed?
Yes. In Illinois, applying pesticides in homes requires a license from the Department of Public Health, and our treatments are done by licensed technicians.
What are the most common kitchen pests?
Mostly cockroaches, mice and ants, plus pests that live in flour, cereal and other dry goods.
What can I put in my cabinets to keep bugs away?
Airtight storage and a dry sink base are the best prevention. Repellent sachets have limited effect.
Do you work in my part of Wheaton?
Yes. Our crews work across Wheaton, including Downtown Wheaton, Wheaton Center, Danada Square area — ZIP 60189, 60187 — and nearby Glen Ellyn, Winfield, Glendale Heights.
