Cockroaches exist on virtually every part of the planet because they were already enormously successful and widespread before the continents were still one land mass. When Pangea (the original, single continent) broke up, the continents began their slow drift, and the pest went along for the ride. It’s no wonder they have continued to thrive. An article in the New York Times, in 1986, found that some areas of the country had an estimated 26,000 roaches per apartment.
There’s a myth that if you keep a clean home, you won’t have trouble with roaches. Unfortunately, they do not discriminate. From hoarder-like conditions to immaculately kept mansions, they are an equal opportunity scourge. What they need to survive and reproduce is pretty basic: shelter, food, and water. No matter how clean your home is, it provides shelter and food in the form of organic material. (This includes some building materials such as glue, paper, or rotten wood bits.) It also includes the food that humans and pets eat, and a water source. With these three fundamental needs, cockroaches are irresistibly attracted to your home. That’s why professional pest control is so important.
Our Unique Approach To Roach Control & Removal Service
A few people just aren’t bothered by bugs. Do cockroaches cause problems, or do they get a bad rap because they look kind of creepy? The answer may surprise those who think seeing one or two roaches throughout the week is no big deal. The answer is: it’s a big deal. A long list of bacteria, fungi, molds, and viruses go wherever cockroaches go. These crawlers can even give you an amoeba that causes dysentery and the virus that causes polio. Cockroaches become carriers of these microscopic threats to health by crawling through very unsanitary spaces such as garbage, toilet areas, and decaying organic matter inside and outside the home. The worst threat statistically, because there’s no vaccine against it, and it can kill, is asthma caused by allergic reactions to the very presence of cockroaches. In a perfect world where roaches were disease free, exposure to their droppings and shed exoskeletons could still cause an allergic reaction and a potential medical emergency. Because of all these threats, it’s important to maintain professional defenses to keep this multi-pronged menace out of your home.
Roaches are hard to defeat. A fundamental reason is their long genome, which is much longer than humans. With over 1,000 genes, they have an inherent ability to heal, regenerate legs, defend themselves, rid their bodies of toxins, and detect food and chemicals in the air. They can also eat just about anything, including each other.
This makes them very resilient in the face of DIY or uninformed pest control efforts. That’s why we take a professional, comprehensive, always updated approach.

The most common culprit is poor housekeeping. But cleaning your kitchen, floors, and bathrooms sometimes isn’t enough. Roaches are accomplished hitchhikers, which means they can also get in by riding boxes, hiding in furniture, and latching onto other items brought into your home. Furthermore, roaches can enter through cracks and gaps in your walls and drains or sewer pipes. So your best bet is to call 708-439-1324 to schedule your FREE roach inspection! We’ll pinpoint the type of roach you have and the issue causing them to come back for more.
Not only are roaches one of the most common pest problems in Chicago, IL, but they’re also one of the hardest to eliminate. The reason for this is roaches are often scattered throughout your home, have high breeding potential, and can develop a resistance to pesticides. This is problematic because roaches transfer E. coli and salmonella from one food source to the next. So if you’re dealing with a roach problem, or simply want to protect your home from future infestations, please call 708-439-1324 today!
The answer depends on the species and severity of the infestation. Keep in mind many over-the-counter solutions are ineffective and sometimes even make the problem worse. Roaches are incredibly adaptable, which means they can scatter through your home and develop a resistance to do-it-yourself treatments. So we recommend calling 708-439-1324 to schedule your FREE roach inspection. This will allow us to give you an estimate of how long it’ll take to get rid of roaches in your home.

Managed to squeeze me in the last min on the same day I called, after seeing a mouse in the house, and was very thorough and informative.

Knowledgeable about how the weather impacts each potential intruder.– Leonard B. in Oak Lawn, IL
