Pest Control for Chicago Townhomes

Bed bugs, mice, and ants are the top three calls we get from townhome owners. Bed bugs typically arrive through travel or second-hand furniture. Mice exploit garage doors and foundation gaps every fall. Ants follow moisture and food trails into kitchens and bathrooms.

Townhomes with finished basements also see occasional spider and centipede activity, particularly during humid summer months.

Townhomes share at least one wall with a neighbor — sometimes two. Utility penetrations between units, attached garages, and shared roof systems all create entry routes that single-family homes don't have.

Exterior entry is also a factor: weep holes in brick veneer, gaps under garage doors, foundation cracks, and unsealed dryer vents are the most common.

Most townhome treatments work like single-family treatments — we treat the entire unit at once rather than room-by-room. For bed bugs, whole-unit heat treatment is highly effective and finishes in a single day.

For ongoing protection we offer quarterly perimeter treatments that prevent ants, spiders, and seasonal invaders from getting inside in the first place.

If we find evidence of activity along a shared wall — bed bug fecal staining behind a headboard, roach droppings inside a shared electrical box — we recommend notifying the adjacent neighbor. We can provide a written summary you can share with them if needed.

Free inspection, written quote, same-day scheduling when available. We arrive on time, treat thoroughly, document everything, and offer a satisfaction guarantee on bed bug work.
