Pest control in Plainfield, IL
Quarterly pest control for Plainfield, IL: centipedes, box elder bugs and ants, from Clae's Forest Park office.
Plainfield sits toward the outer edge of Clae’s regular drive time from Forest Park, a longer trip than the inner suburbs get, and most of the town went up during the same 1990s and 2000s subdivision wave as Naperville next door. That construction means a sump pump in nearly every basement, and centipedes are drawn to the dampness around it, so an inspection there often starts at the sump pit rather than upstairs. The trees planted alongside those subdivisions have had thirty-odd years to mature, and every October they drop the seed pods that stage box elder bugs on the sunny side of the house. Ants still work the foundation line every spring, the same as any other stop on the route.
Plainfield’s housing stock is overwhelmingly 1990s and 2000s subdivision construction, and a basement sump pump is standard equipment here rather than something only a few older houses need. Centipedes work the damp basement from spring through summer, box elder bugs stage on sunny walls every October, and ants start along the foundation as soon as the ground warms each spring.

The technicians are the reason people stay.
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.
