Where they get in around River Forest

Most of River Forest was built before 1950, and houses of that age fail in the same few places. A The water line where it comes through the foundation wall. B A porch or a step that has settled away from the house. C The sill plate where old framing meets stone or block.

Those gaps are narrow, which is why they get missed: a mouse needs about a quarter of an inch, and an ant needs far less. An inspection starts there rather than at the baseboards, because treating what you can see does nothing about the way in.

What to say when you call

  • What it looked like and which room it was in. A trail along a counter and a single insect in a bathroom point at different things.
  • When it started, and whether it is getting worse.
  • The address, so it reaches a technician working Cook County.

A technician kneels beside a house foundation and shines a flashlight into a crawl space vent.

What happens after the call

You say what you have seen and where in the home it turned up. That is usually enough to narrow it down on the phone.

A technician then inspects the property — inside, around the outside, and in the crawl space or attic where the sign usually starts. Identification comes before treatment, and the treatment is quoted before it begins.
