Pest control services in Chicago
Beyond its iconic skyline, world-class museums, and deep-dish pizza, Chicago harbors a less glamorous side: a thriving population of unwanted pests. From the cockroaches scurrying through the alleys of the Loop to the bed bugs hitching a ride on the 'L,' the city's unique blend of dense urban living and historic architecture creates the perfect environment for a variety of unwanted guests.
Whether you're battling cockroaches cozying up in your apartment or ants parading through your home, Terminix is here to tackle your pest problems. Our comprehensive pest control services address a wide range of invaders in the Chicago area, including cockroaches, ants, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and termites.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are a significant problem in Chicago, especially in older buildings and densely populated areas. The German cockroach is the most common species, thriving in warm, moist environments like kitchens and bathrooms. These pests can contaminate food and surfaces, posing health risks such as asthma and allergic reactions.
Due to their ability to multiply quickly and survive in harsh conditions, professional pest control is often necessary to manage infestations in the city. Our roach pest control services include preventative maintenance and treatment to help effectively eliminate existing infestations and prevent future ones.
Ants
In Chicago, ants, particularly pavement and carpenter ants, are common pests. Pavement ants invade homes for food, while carpenter ants can cause structural damage by nesting in wood. They enter through tiny cracks and can be hard to eliminate due to large colonies, making them a persistent issue for residents. Terminix ant control services begin with an inspection to identify the ant species present, the infestation size, and its location. Our technicians will then create a customized treatment plan to help eliminate ant colonies and prevent them from returning.
Bed bugs
Bed bugs are a significant problem in Chicago, often found in homes, hotels, and public transportation. These resilient pests can hide in mattresses and furniture, feeding on human blood at night. Because bed bugs can easily be spread to other parts of your home and can be resistant to some insecticides, professional treatment is usually necessary to eliminate them. Our technicians will inspect your home to determine where bed bugs are hiding and how severe the infestation is. From there, they can provide a comprehensive bed bug treatment plan that eliminates these pests at every life stage.
Rodents
Rodents, like rats and mice, are a widespread problem in Chicago. The city’s dense urban environment and older infrastructure provide ample hiding spots and food sources, making it a prime location for rodent activity. These pests can cause physical damage to your home and even pose health risks, as they can spread diseases through their droppings, urine, and contact with contaminated surfaces.
Rodents can multiply rapidly, making infestations challenging to manage. Our skilled technicians use various rodent control treatments to help eliminate these pests and prevent them from returning to your home.
Termites
Subterranean termites can be a significant concern for homeowners in Chicago. These pests are known for their ability to cause extensive damage to wooden structures by feeding on cellulose. These pests thrive in the city's humid climate and can enter homes through the soil, making detection and prevention challenging. Regular inspections and preventive treatments are crucial to help protect properties from these destructive insects.
