We had a squirrel trapped in the house. They were able to get the technician out right away. He was very nice and helpful. The squirrel has been trapped.

We love QuickKill! They are so responsive and professional. We had a squirrel in the attic and needed help to get it trapped and out. From the time I called for help, JP was here barely 30 minutes later and He had the squirrel out soon after. Barely an hour from my first call. He helped to provide a temporary fix so the squirrel couldn’t come back and was so informative throughout the process. He is equally as responsive and attentive for our regular treatments so thank you so much JP! Highly recommend QuickKill to anyone looking!

Abishai did an excellent job with our regular inspection. He was very professional, courteous, friendly, and thorough. He let us know all the services that Quick Kill offers, but wasn't pushy, just informative. I'm pleased with the service that Quick Kill provides and would definitely recommend them.

Quick Kill is an excellent company that actually does what they say they will! We had carpenter ants that were discovered during contruction in the summer, and Quick Kill got rid of every ant. We have not had any problems since they came here. Today Jon came for general pest inspection, and he did a great job! Very thorough and careful, and he is as nice as can be.
We've used several other companies over the 20 years in our house, and we are so impressed our contractor recommended Quick Kill this summer!

Came the next morning after my call. The employee they sent was neat, clean and friendly. He seemed very knowledgeable and answered all our questions before he started. He listened to our concerns and was very thorough in addressing them. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to recommend this company and its employee, Jon to anyone.

Quick Kill Exterminating Co. is a great company to work with! Receptionist and customer scheduling people are friendly, polite, responsive, and knowledgable. The Serviceman who come to the house today, has been here previously, and is thorough, personable, knowledgable, and efficient. So, Quick Kill provides excellent service, and inspires confidence that they can take care of any pest issues. Even at the quarterly spraying visits, the technician always asks me if I have any questions, or where I'm especially concerned about spring. He also reminded me of other services offered, and that they can come back if we continue to see spiders after about 10 days. He even did a walk around the outside of the house to check for evidence of pest activity, despite the very cold weather. I'd highly recommend this company for anyone looking for quality, professionalism, excellent service, and the sense of confidence all of that instills in me as a customer.

We have used Quick Kill for several years, as have other members of our family. We have always been satisfied by the work that they do, and the ease of getting repeat treatments if any issues occur. Frank has been our technician for the last couple of years, and he is always professional and courteous.
We continue to recommend Quick Kill to anyone that asks.

Quick Kill Exterminating has been privileged to service thousands of homes and businesses in the Northern suburbs of Chicago since 1990.

Yes.  Quick Kill is licensed and certified by the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Illinois Department of Agriculture, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

All of the products our company uses are registered with the United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and undergo stringent testing procedures.  The EPA evaluates pesticides to ensure that when they are used according to label directions they pose very low risk to people, non-target species, or the environment. Pesticides must be registered with EPA.

The products we use are designed to treat insects which have a different metabolic structure than mammals.  They pose no health hazard to your pets when used according to the label. We recommend any inquisitive pets to be caged or placed in a solitary room to allow our technicians to perform their work efficiently.

Our products are water-based and dry quickly, usually between twenty and thirty minutes, depending on humidity levels.  Once dry, children and pets may safely play outside.

All of our technicians are trained to have the appropriate knowledge and skill to eradicate pest problems from your home in a safe and professional manner.

Our treatments generally consist of applying products to the baseboards of the exterior facing walls in each room.  Removing clutter and small items (not beds, dressers, desks, etc.) a few feet from the walls is helpful to the technicians as it allows them to treat more surface area and work in an efficient manner.

The answer varies depending on the target pest in question.  Our products are designed to start knocking out insects as soon as they come into contact with it.  Depending on the size of the problem, you will notice an improvement over the course of the first few days.  Most issues should see a vast improvement within one to two weeks.  Your technician will be able to give you a more detailed answer when he has inspected and treated your home.

Yes. We offer trapping services for chipmunks, opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and select birds. We also provide exclusion services to help limit reentry into homes and buildings by these unwanted pests.
