"Arriving on time in a vehicle with no advertising displayed whatsoever, Mark first walked me around the entire outside of the house. He explained that any indoor carpenter ant infestation would be a satellite nest arising from a main source somewhere outside, e.g., wood piles, and mature trees with openings or branching close to the ground. Sure enough we found a large tree with a triple trunk about 20 ft from the back of our house with a very active carpenter nest in the center of the divided trunk. Also, there was a large wood pile nearby. These two areas were sprayed with a slow-acting insecticide which would be carried into and through the nest. Additionaly five other large trees on our property were sprayed as a preventative. Then the entire perimeter of the house at the foundation/ground level was also sprayed for the same purpose.

Next Mark and I came back inside to deal with the carpenter ants inside the ceiling beam area. For this treatment he used a cartridge containing a gel insecticide that was applied similar to using a caulking gun. He explained that the gel is completely safe for interior use and would not be harmful to humans or pets because it does not produce an aerosol like the outside treatment. Just as important, Mark explained that the gel is formulated to be very slow acting and would be carried back into the deeper parts of the nest to eradicate the queen and eventually all of the surviving carpenter ants. I also pointed out two areas in our basement ceiling that had evidence of water damage from a previous plumbing break, and he treated these with the gel insecticide.

Finally, Mark recommended that we wait a week or more before closing-up and repairing the beam, and he said to call him if we had any questions or concerns. Since we've had such a long history with the roofing problem and beam repair, we decided to make a temporary, cosmetic repair so we could easily recheck to see if the ant population died off. And just as Mark explained originally that the process would be slow, we did call back after a few weeks and left a message reporting that the population activity was decreasing but was not gone entirely. He returned our call promptly and assured us that what we described was normal and expected. Again he added that we should not hesitate to contact him again.

As of this date, 11/26/12, we know the carpenter ants are eradicated. We are extremely pleased with the services of Shepp Pest Control. We also have a one-year guarantee on this service call, and we intend to call this company for a repeat treatment next Summer, 2013. Everything was handled in a most courteous, helpful and professional manner. We would happily continue to use Shepp Pest Control and ABC Wildlife Company in the future as well as recommend them to family and friends!

"Very well. Mr. Valdez is very sharp, very smart, very professional. He examined the hole, and told me that the squirrel had not chewed his way into the side of the house. Then he proceeded to seal up the hole. Afterwards, he gave me valuable information on pest control in general. I highly recommend."

"McKnights' came to our rescue after another well known pest control service cancelled due to a scheduling conflict (theirs not mine). We were leaving on vacation in two days and had a serious ant problem. He came out even though it was a weekend and took care of the issue. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of this type of service."

"Updated: 2017-05-11
Greenix has called and resolved this situation to my satisfaction. They have proven quite thoroughly that they care about their company's integrity and the customer service provided by it's agents. I have revised my initial grading accordingly.

Original Review:
I canceled my first appointment with Greenix Pest Control after waiting 45 minutes past the scheduled time and two phone calls ending up in their voicemail. The new customer coupon and great Angie's List rating (at the time) was tempting enough to bite. Now I read their Facebook page and apparently this is a long standing issue with them. I definitely do NOT recommend wasting your time with this company. Their FB page also lists complaints of being charged even when no service was provided; that better not happen here!"

"very professional.  Described the process and the fees for the trapping. Came back the next day and removed the skunk and trap.  Reset the trap in case there were more than one skunk.  Came back two days in a row to check and concluded that we had only one resident at our hose.  We have seen none since.  I would highly recommend Groen's for rodent/pest removals.

FAQs for rodent pest control service projects in Riverdale, 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.
