Pest control in Oswego, IL
Quarterly pest control for Oswego, IL: centipedes, box elder bugs and spiders, from Clae's Forest Park office.
Oswego is mostly 1990s and 2000s subdivision housing, and the trees that came in with those subdivisions are old enough now to drop seed pods across every sunny wall each October, staging the box elder bugs that show up on the siding and windows. That same construction put a sump pump in nearly every basement, and the dampness around it draws centipedes before much else does, so an Oswego inspection often starts below ground. Spiders build along the foundation and under the eaves the same as anywhere else on the route, spring into summer. The drive out to Oswego runs longer than it does to the inner suburbs, though it still falls inside Clae’s regular route from Forest Park.
Most of Oswego went up during the same 1990s and 2000s subdivision boom as its neighbors, and a sump pump in the basement is the rule rather than the exception. Centipedes turn up in the basement whenever it is damp, box elder bugs stage on sunny walls every October, and spiders build at the foundation and eaves through the warmer months.

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.
