We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, real estate professionals, and business owners across Chicagoland to address a wide range of pest concerns, including ants, cockroaches, bed bugs, termites, rodents, and nuisance wildlife.

From urban neighborhoods and commercial districts to suburban communities and multi-unit properties, A1 Pest Master helps protect the places where people live, work, and do business.
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.
Wildlife can become a serious concern when animals gain access to homes, businesses, attics, crawl spaces, garages, or other structures. A1 Pest Master provides safe and humane wildlife removal services throughout Chicagoland to help property owners resolve wildlife problems while reducing the risk of future intrusions.
Our team handles common nuisance wildlife found throughout the region, including raccoons, squirrels, opossums, snakes, rats, and mice. Every situation is evaluated individually to determine the most effective removal, exclusion, and prevention strategy based on the species involved and the property’s conditions.
In addition to removal services, we help identify entry points, nesting locations, and environmental factors that may be attracting wildlife to your property. Through exclusion recommendations and preventive measures, we focus on long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.
Whether you’re hearing scratching sounds in the attic, noticing signs of nesting activity, or dealing with recurring wildlife issues around your property, our experienced specialists can help restore safety and peace of mind.

For more than 45 years, A1 Pest Master has delivered professional pest management, termite inspections, rodent control, and humane wildlife removal services backed by proven solutions and a commitment to exceptional customer care.
Founded in 1984 by Isaac “Ike” Hill, a U.S. Army veteran and one of the first African Americans to earn an entomology degree from Purdue University, A1 Pest Master was built on a foundation of scientific expertise, integrity, and exceptional customer service. Today, that commitment continues under the leadership of President and CEO Steven Hill, helping families and businesses across the region address pest problems with confidence.

Every property is different, and factors such as building age, construction type, environmental conditions, occupancy, and pest pressure all play a role in determining the most effective treatment strategy.
Our team serves a wide range of clients, including homeowners, landlords, property managers, real estate professionals, restaurants, retailers, office buildings, industrial facilities, schools, churches, and community organizations.
