Permits, licenses and your utility
Structural pest control in Illinois is licensed by the Department of Public Health. Ask which products will be used and whether you need to leave the home or keep pets away. Keep the paperwork that lists the products used, the areas treated and the date of the next visit.
The local picture in Chicago
Chicago has more lead service lines than any other U.S. city, roughly 400,000, and the city runs a replacement program. The city's online Service Line Lookup lets you check whether the water line into your home is listed as lead.
Most of the city has combined sewers, so a heavy summer storm can push water back up through basement floor drains. Shared walls and old foundations in older buildings give mice and roaches easy paths between units.
Mice head indoors in the fall as temperatures drop, and calls spike from October through winter. The Deep Tunnel project, formally the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan, stores stormwater underground to reduce flooding and overflows.
What to have ready
Clear the areas where you see activity so the tech can inspect.

What people ask us
Which parts of Chicago can you help with?
Pros we work with cover Chicago neighborhoods such as Bronzeville, Edgewater, Beverly and Logan Square, in ZIP codes 60018, 60106, 60601, 60602, 60603 and others. Availability changes day to day, and we will be upfront if nobody can take the job.
Do I need to leave the house during treatment?
It depends on the product and method. Ask the company before the visit how long people and pets should stay out of treated areas.
Who pays for pest control if I rent?
In many places, it is the landlord's responsibility. Check your lease and local codes. Report the problem in writing and keep a copy, since that record helps if the issue keeps coming back.
Why do I see more bugs after a treatment?
Some treatments drive pests out of hiding for a few days. If activity keeps rising after a week or two, call the company back.
You are free to talk with more than one company before you decide.
