"Called discussed previously verified bedbug sighting in house. Discussed measures we had already taken and what we could do to assure ourselves further that the problem had been contained. Had the crew out for treatment and discussions of next steps. Finished wishing we had called them at the beginning. We’d have paid them more ($1000) but the cost was a wash and we’d have saved a few Saturdays. Note: dusting aggravated our daughters asthma even though we avoided her bedroom and the kids play room. We would skip the dust if we were to do it again, even if it meant repeated treatments."

"FABULOUS!!! Joe really knows what he is doing. He is upbeat and communicative. He is punctual and creative in thinking. He did not want me to pay for traps when he felt that they were unnecessary so he covered a hole going into my attic to see if the varmints would tear through it again (or if they had already abandoned this nest). When they did tear thought the marker, he applied the $140 inspection fee to the trapping fee and dealt with it that way. Brilliant."

"Great thanks to Lou at Critter Detectives. Why? Because something had not worked according to plan from an earlier job they had done at my house, and Critter Detectives came back and fixed it -- no problems, no worries and done properly (within a couple days of my call). Sometimes things don't go the way they are planned and need to be fixed. Critter Detectives did that -- fixing it for me at no additional cost. Originally, the job was to put in a heavy screen barrier between the ground and the bottom of my enclosed porch. It was to be installed all around the front of the house, up to the point where the house foundation starts. The purpose of the metal screen was to stop the ground squirrels from digging in, under my closed in porch where they had set up a huge burrow. I had put in stinky stuff to keep them out and everything else you can think of. Anyway, Critter Detectives sent someone to come do it. Unfortunately, that worker didn't complete the screening installation, stopping a little short of the edge of my foundation. The result that I just noticed a couple days ago? The ground squirrels had found the gap and dug back in, under my porch. It must be quite the underground palace to live in during a cold, Chicago winter. Today, Lou and a different member of his team came and fixed it! No problem. Nice, professional and no worries. I will hire them again if I ever need something. I'm delighted."

Chem-Wise is a trusted, locally owned, full service pest control company offering convenient residential and commercial pest control throughout Chicagoland. We are experts in identifying Illinois pests, and using the safest, most effective methods to eliminate them.

"They were great the first year and then consistently went downhill. I ask to come when I was home because of the dogs and every time that was an issue. Then I would pre-pay for 3 -4 services and they either would not come or would do a "fast" spray. The last service for this year I got an email they were coming and then nothing. I know because I have cameras around the house. When I complained they told me they would send some to do the spray (this was a week ago) you know the bugs are really bad in a freeze? Done, will not use anymore and will not recommend."

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Whether a one-time spray treatment to control mosquitoes is enough depends on multiple factors. Often, you’ll notice a big difference after one application. However, mosquitoes are likely to return if you don't reduce attractive standing water habitats. This usually takes four to eight weeks if it’s still prime mosquito season.

Spotting a single scorpion in the home doesn’t mean you have a full-blown infestation, but it does mean there’s a way for them to get inside. Other scorpions could easily use the same method, like entering through an air vent, as these arachnids are social creatures that tend to live in groups. If you see a baby scorpion, however, that likely indicates a nest somewhere in the home. This is also true if you spot a scorpion with an infant on its back.

There is very limited scientific evidence to support the efficacy of essential oils against bed bugs and they are very unlikely to kill the species. However, a 2021 study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) found that compounds in essential oils like clove oil, lemongrass, citronella, and bergamot could repel the insects.

Treating a property for ticks costs between $50 and $150 on average. This preventative measure may be necessary if you live in an area with high tick presence or suspect a tick infestation on your property. Prices will vary based on your landscape, the size of the treatment area, and the severity of the infestation. 

There are several ways to get rid of fleas in your yard without harming your pet. One option is to use a flea control treatment (such as a spray or bomb) that’s safe for pets. If you’re unsure whether a certain product is pet-friendly, check the label or ask a pest removal pro. Alternatively, you can apply beneficial nematodes—which won’t affect pets or people—to your lawn.
