Ampest Exterminating And Wildlife Control

Chicagoland homeowners, what is the first pest you notice when you start your weekend yard work?

Whether you are pulling weeds or mowing the lawn, you are bound to stir up some unwanted guests.

Are you seeing more spiders in the bushes, ants on the driveway, or wasps near the gutters?

Let us know in the comments below.

Trimming the tree branches touching your Oak Park roof is the first step to keeping squirrels out.

Squirrels use overhanging branches as a highway directly to your gutters and shingles. Once they are on the roof, they will chew through weak spots to access your warm attic.

We not only remove the animals, but we also provide expert advice on how to make your property less attractive to wildlife.

Chicagoland residents, what is the craziest place you have ever found a pest hiding in your house?

We have seen mice in oven drawers, squirrels in chimneys, and wasps inside mailboxes. Pests are incredibly resourceful when they want to find a warm place to live.

Heavy June rainstorms in the Chicago area are forcing thousands of ants inside your home.

When the ground gets saturated, ant colonies must move to higher, drier ground to survive. Your kitchen, bathroom, and basement provide the perfect shelter and food sources. We create an invisible barrier around your foundation that stops them from crossing the threshold.

Call 630-543-3100 to stop the ant invasion today.

That small paper nest on your Evanston porch will hold hundreds of aggressive wasps by mid-summer.

Stinging insects are building their nests right now under eaves, behind shutters, and inside light fixtures. Trying to knock a nest down with a broom is highly dangerous and often leads to painful stings. Our trained technicians wear protective gear to safely remove the nest and treat the area to prevent rebuilding.

June is peak time for baby skunks to start wandering out from under Chicagoland porches.

As the babies get older, they become more active and curious, increasing the chances of your dog getting sprayed in the yard. Skunks are also known to dig up lawns looking for grubs. We specialize in safe, odor-free removal of entire skunk families.

Call 630-543-3100 for emergency skunk removal services.

Can you guess which Chicagoland pest causes the most property damage every spring?

Is it mice chewing wires, squirrels in the attic, or carpenter ants destroying wood?

We see all three on a daily basis, but one usually costs homeowners the most money to repair.

Take a guess in the comments.

Finding one mouse dropping in your Schaumburg garage means an entire family is already living with you.

Mice reproduce incredibly fast and can squeeze through holes the size of a dime. Setting a few traps might catch one or two, but it will never solve the root of the infestation.

Our professional exclusion services find every hidden entry point and seal them shut permanently.

Mosquito season is about to ruin backyard barbecues across the Chicago suburbs.

Standing water from spring storms creates the perfect breeding ground for thousands of mosquitoes. Before you plan your first summer party, you need a barrier treatment that actually works. Our targeted foliage spray drastically reduces mosquito populations so you can actually enjoy your patio.

Hearing scratching noises in your Arlington Heights attic usually means squirrels are building a nest above your head.

Squirrels can chew through wood, siding, and even electrical wires to get inside your warm home. Ignoring the noise can lead to serious fire hazards and costly roof damage.

We safely trap the squirrels and seal up the entry points so they cannot return.
