Kitchen pest problems we deal with in Wood Dale
Whether it is cockroaches at night, droppings in a drawer or a line of ants along the counter, we work out the species and the source first. In Wood Dale homes we seal entry points, place gel baits or traps away from food prep, and come back to monitor. We explain what is used and where.
Pests behind the refrigerator and stove
The motor area of a fridge is a common roach harborage. We inspect it and place bait in cracks nearby.
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.
Pantry moths and beetles in food
We inspect the pantry and cabinets, show you what to throw out and set monitors to confirm they are gone.
Moisture under the sink
Water is as important to pests as food. A slow drip under the sink can keep an infestation going.
Roaches in cabinets and around the sink
Moisture under the sink keeps roaches coming back. Sealing, bait placement and fixing drips go together.
Scratching in the walls or ceiling
We trace sounds to likely routes and seal the openings mice use to reach the kitchen.
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.
