"ABC Humane Wildlife Control & Prevention did an amazing job of getting to the bottom of exactly what critters were making a home in my attic. The technicians we worked with were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. When more issues were detected, the office staff was incredible with answering questions and getting us on a service schedule that fit our needs."

"Pointe Pest Control technicians have always been polite. The technicians are thorough and knowledgeable in their application of insecticide and removal of spider webs. In the past, I have had to call the office to request additional support due to a wasp nest in the ground. The office workers were also polite and knowledgeable and had help out to me right away. Highly recommend Pointe Pest Control if you are having issues with pests around your home."

"Mark is a really great resource for homeowners to have in the protection of our dwelling space. He kept his appointment time and his charges are very reasonable. Such great customer service - he does not take advantage of people who have a strong aversion to creepy things. By putting us in the mind of the pest, we learned his methods for elimination and control of the big ants would be safe, effective, and long lasting. Mark thoroughly covered the perimeter, basement, and upstairs of our home, even the garage and attic. Mark knows his work well, makes sure not to over apply any treatment, and he's very reassuring. We will gladly use Mark for our pest control needs in the future.

"It was very considerate of Jon to call and say that he was going to be late due road conditions (it was pouring on Saturday).  I didn't mind because anyway they had given me an ETA between 0900am - 1100am.  I had mentioned in my communication with Sergio that the wasps' nest was situated on the mesh screen in the skylight above my garage, but I guess no one told Jon.  In any case, Jon went up on the roof and tried to access the mesh, but could not.  Instead he sprayed inside the skylight and down into the mesh.  I asked him to also spray around my sliding patio door because bees somehow found a way to enter my house.  Jon pointed out that there were holes in the brick wall where they made their nests.  He sprayed inside the holes and filled them with a spongy metal material.  I could see the effects immediately, as some bees tried to return to the nest but now could not.  All in all, very good service and Jon is a very polite, well-mannered young man.  I will use them again if I have any pests problems in the future.

"They're not one of those companies that spray everything in sight. They were very good and very polite. We got their name from a neighbor who's also been satisfied. Everything worked out with them. They tried to locate the problem, which was ants. They wanted to find the problem, and they used materials that were safe around pets and kids. The price was reasonable."

"We hired Schopen to help assess if we have a rodent problem. We worked with their senior service technician Chris, and he was amazing! He clearly has a lot of experience in the field and was very knowledgeable about pest control issues. Overall it has been a great experience working with Schopen, as they are professional, quick, and easy to communicate with."

FAQs for rodent pest control service projects in Waukegan, IL

Rodent exclusion seals every gap, vent, and crack that rodents use to sneak inside your home. Most homeowners pay an average of $200 to $600 for this add-on. By blocking entry points, you create a long-term barrier that cuts down on repeat infestations and helps protect both your family and your property.

Pros start with an inspection, then place tamper-resistant bait stations and traps in high-traffic spots. They’ll also seal entry points and clean droppings to reduce health risks. Follow-up visits confirm that the plan worked and that no new rodents have moved in. This step-by-step approach removes the current infestation and helps keep your home rodent-free going forward.

A trained pest-control pro can pinpoint hidden access points using a flashlight, thermal imaging, and plenty of crawl-space sleuthing. During an inspection, the specialist maps every gap, vent, or pipe run that rats use, then explains how to seal each one. This detailed report lets you tackle the weak spots immediately and dramatically lowers the odds of another infestation.

Rodent prevention starts with managing food and entry points. Store pantry items in airtight containers, take out trash promptly, and keep pet food sealed. Outside, trim vegetation and stack firewood away from the house. Inside, seal gaps with steel wool or hardware cloth. A tidy yard and a buttoned-up home give rats and mice few reasons—or routes—to move in.

For wall or attic nests, pros place snap traps or CO2-powered units in the exact runways rats use, then return to remove carcasses and reset as needed. Poison is risky indoors because rats may die in hidden spots, creating odors or health issues, so most technicians avoid it. Once trapping is complete, they’ll seal entry points and clean droppings to finish the job.

Plan on several weeks, especially for larger infestations. Your pro will set traps, return every few days to collect rats, and adjust placement until activity stops. Final visits include sealing access points and sanitizing affected areas. Timelines vary, but most homes are rat-free after two to four follow-ups. Prompt scheduling and good sanitation can shorten the process.
