"Terrible! They were great when they were locally owned. Rotokil purchased them and all went down hill. The changed from quarterly to 3 times a year. Increased the price. They never tell you when they are coming. Just scheduled and hope you can let them in. Tech was great but call center and customer service is as bad as it gets. Rude and dismissive"

"We live in one of Highland Park’s oldest homes, a graceful Italianate from the 1870s, and we’re intentional about preserving its historic character while making it livable and inviting. We’re not purists—we’re stewards. And this project reflects that balance beautifully. Shaun Peters, Director of Field Operations, listened closely and helped us find a solution that honored the space without requiring a costly rebuild. Many companies had recommended replacing our mantle and hearth—work we couldn’t justify. Shaun guided us toward a cast iron Valor gas insert that fit seamlessly and brought real warmth to our parlor. His communication was exceptional—texts, emails, thoughtful updates. The kind of service you think doesn’t exist anymore. But it does through Lindemann."

This means using integrated pest management, or IPM, to solve your pest problem. An IPM approach is focused on the removal of the three key elements pests need to survive: food, water, and shelter.

More importantly, IPM aims to correct the root cause of the pest problem, providing you with a longer-term solution to your pest problem in the least intrusive manner possible.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you’re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.

You should never try to remove a bee's nest yourself because it can be extremely dangerous. The amount of bees that can live in a hive depends on the type of bee, but honey bees can have up to 80,000 bees living in a hive. People who are allergic to bees can have life-threatening reactions from a single sting. So, it's best to leave bee nest removal to the professionals who have the knowledge and equipment to do so safely.

Early spring or late fall removals are ideal when bees are less active, and hive removal is safer.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
