Chem-Wise offers a full scope of pest control services including ants, spiders, mice, silverfish, roaches, bed bugs, stinkbugs, wasps, and millipedes.
Services we don't offer
We do not provide control for wildlife such as squirrels and raccoons.
My service was more preventative on nature, luckily I did not have rodent activity. Although they identified some holes in my walls that were large enough to permit entry; and later plugged those holes. If I had an infestation I would not hesitate to call them out again.
Description of Work: Rodent prevention and spider treatment.

We have two different employees out to our home. Each time they have come (so far 4 times), they have narrowed down the problem and attempted to find the source of the problem and put fixes in. They return another day to see if the changes were effective. They have been great about calling to schedule appointments, showing up promptly, polite and keep us informed about what they have done and give us options to proceed.
Description of Work: We purchased a home that had been vacated for several years. Chem-wise checked for rodents.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and it turned out fine. We are going to be checking back in a little while for at third check. They came on time and did exactly what the deal indicated they would do. They came out in a timely manner within the time frame that was promised in the deal. They did everything they promised they would do as part of the deal. We may have additional charges, but that is beyond the scope of the original work so that is fine. I thought the person who came out was very pleasant and timely. He was on time when he came and gave very good explanations of exactly what was going on. He answered all of my questions regarding our pets and whether their treatment was safe for them. He explained everything that he was doing and was a good communicator. They did what they said they would do and were pleasant to work with. I thought their pricing was very fair for what they did and I was pleased with their service.
Description of Work: I used Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management for an initial assessment and a subsequent check. They put out bait traps to assess what kind of activity or problems we might be having. We had a concern we might have mice in a couple of areas of our unfinished basement, especially with cold weather setting in. We have a lot of trees and stuff where we are. They sealed up some holes and then checked to see if this solved the problem.

I really liked the technician that came out to my home however he did not spray for the spiders on the first visit. Scheduling was easy and they called to let me know before they were coming over the first time. They had to come out twice to complete the work. They set up the traps in the basement, garage and kitchen to catch the rodents and they come back out to check the traps. There is also poison on the inside of the traps.

My experience was fine. The technician came out to put down traps and he came back once the rodents were trapped. I have not seen any rodents since then. They were very responsive and actually one of the best companies I have ever worked with. He called me beforehand to confirm the appointment and before he arrived to my home.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was a very good experience. The technician was prompt and very good at explaining what he was doing while he was here. I called them ahead of time before I purchased the Big Deal and then went back and purchased the special deal and then called them back.

They are prompt, courteous and professional. This is the first time I have hired someone to do pest control and had no idea of cost. This sounded like a good value until they offered the same service for $79. I also thought that since this was rodent control they could remove the possum living under my front porch. They only handle mice.
Description of Work: They set mouse traps and sprayed for spiders. They are returning for a third time to make sure we are free of spiders and mice.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Dear Valued Angie’s List Customer, I want to personally thank you for the kind and courteous comments you have to say about our company. Please note that the service we offer for $79 a treatment is available only to our tri-annual customers whose house we treat three times a year. In order to join this program each customer must first have an initial service performed to eliminate any pest activity inside the home. The initial service cost varies depending on the homes treatment needs, but ranges from $145 up to $290. By treating the exterior of the home three times a year, Chem-Wise is able to offer a year round guarantee against all general insects as well as mice. Our technicians are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health to provide structural pest control services only. Larger animals such as possums require different licensing and require the expertise of an animal control or wildlife control company. Please contact our office if you would like to get more information about our tri-annual program or have any other questions or concerns. Sincerely, Dale Leifheit Service Manager

The technician was amazing! I was the one running a little bit late and he ended up servicing someone else before me to give me extra time to get home! I wish I remembered specific technicians name, but I can't remember it and it wasn't on the receipt. He was truly one of the most positive people I've met in a long time. I am a single mother of a 2 year old and my house has a TON of toys around. I was embarrassed about my clutter, but he made me feel very comfortable. He was exceptionally nice to myself, my daughter, and my dog. I will be requesting that he be the one to come back out in 2 weeks. I just wish I remembered his name to share in this review!!
Description of Work: The technician came to my home to put mice bait down and seal up areas where they might be getting in. I decided to go with the quarterly plan.

I had mice in my basement and Steve was able to determine their point(s) of entry and seal the holes and eliminate the mice. I am very pleased and relieved to have the problem fixed. I would definitely use the company again. Very knowledgable, professional, and friendly service.

While I thought the vendor would come and seal all possible points of entry, they actually have a process of placing "food" and coming back to see if/where it is eaten. This is a much better process than simply sealing holes, because pests could then become trapped in the home. The good news is we have no pests, but we really wanted to be sure and do everything we could to prevent having a problem. Chem-Wise is smart, eco-friendly (they don't use harsh chemicals), and professional.

I saw a mouse in my house. Chem-wise came out to my home and placed several mouse dehydration traps in the house. They came back later to check for evidence of mice having nibbled the dehydration pellets and caulk any potential entry points into the house. I would use them again.

They were polite and informative. They explained the nature of the products they were using and the service plan. I contacted them with concerns later in the season and they helped me problem-solve the issue, which did not in fact require further treatments.
Description of Work: They came out and performed a preventative treatment to my home as well as our detached garage and eliminated a wasp nest from behind our mailbox.
