We treat common household ants as well as invasive pavement or carpenter ants. Treatments include baiting, exclusion, and seasonal prevention plans.
Earwigs are moisture-loving pests often found in basements. We locate points of entry, apply perimeter treatments, and help reduce humidity conditions.

Cicero ranks among the top U.S. cities for bedbugs. We offer full heat treatment, mattress encasement, and follow-up inspections.
Stinging insect nests are removed safely and quickly. We use protective gear and pet-safe treatments to neutralize nests.
We provide detailed inspections and treatment options including bait systems and soil treatments. Protect your property investment from hidden structural damage.
We combine trapping, bait stations, exclusion work, and sanitation to eliminate rodent problems—especially common in older Chicago neighborhoods.
Attic or roofline squirrel infestations are addressed humanely. We offer one-way exclusion devices and sealing services.
Raccoons are notorious for tearing into roofs and trash bins. We trap humanely, relocate where legal, and seal access points.
Though rare, snakes in basements or garages need careful handling. We identify the species, remove it, and secure the structure.
We humanely trap and remove possums from crawlspaces, decks, and yards, then advise on property modifications to prevent their return.
Every property and infestation is unique, but our process follows a proven, professional sequence to ensure effective results:
