Pest control in Oak Park, IL
Quarterly pest control for Oak Park, IL: mice and rats, ants and spiders, from Clae's Forest Park office.
Oak Park’s housing stock is older than most of the territory, and it shows in where the calls start. Foundations from the 1920s have had a century to settle and crack in places a newer slab has not, which is why the ant and spider calls here begin at the foundation line in spring. The detached garage, set apart from the house with its own gap under the door and its own opening to the alley, is usually the first stop when mice start looking for a way in as the weather turns. A two-flat means two units sharing one building, so a gap that lets a mouse in on one side is a problem for both.
Housing is 1920s brick two-flats and bungalows on narrow lots, most with a detached garage opening onto the alley rather than the street. Mice push toward shelter as soon as it turns cold in the fall, and ants and spiders start at the older, settled foundation line each spring.

We have been very pleased with Clae Pest Control. Robby is particularly great to work with. Not only is Robby personable and friendly, he is very knowledgeable and has many tricks up his sleeve. He also has followed up to make sure that his services are working appropriately which has been such a relief. Communication is also fantastic, and they can text to confirm/change appointment times. 100% would recommended.
Great experience so far. Called due to hearing some sounds in the wall of our old OP house. Fast and responsive, did a thorough inspection, no high pressure sales. They didn't find definite evidence of mice, and even though I offered to just pay for service they insisted on putting out baits for free to see if I actually needed anything. The baits have caught a mouse so will be having them come back for full service.
Clae Pest Control is exceptional! They responded quickly, their team was knowledgeable and friendly, and their eco-friendly treatment effectively resolved my pest issue. Their transparent pricing and helpful prevention tips made the entire experience hassle-free. I highly recommend Clae Pest Control for top-notch service!
I am extremely happy with the service I received from Clae Pest Control. Robby is very professional, thorough, and friendly. I also received a detailed account of the services provided, and he arrived on time. The product really works, I no longer have problems with ants and spiders, all for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them.
