Advanced Bed Bug Removal in Niles – Full Occupancy Guarantee Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pests to deal with, but Smithereen offers the most advanced, non-toxic solutions available in Niles. We know that traditional chemical treatments often fail because bed bugs have built up resistance. That is why we rely on heat and cold – specifically Thermal Remediation® and Cryonite® freezing technology. Thermal Remediation involves raising the temperature of an infested room to over 120°F, a le...

Our approach to pest control starts with figuring out what is actually causing the trouble. Our technicians inspect your property inside and out, looking for entry points, food sources, and nesting areas before recommending anything. We work on an Integrated Pest Management basis, which means physical barriers, sanitation advice, and targeted treatments come first, with chemicals used only when they are truly needed. Whether you are dealing with ants, spiders, or something less common, you will...

Bed bugs call for a different strategy than most pests, since many have built up resistance to standard chemical treatments. We rely on heat and cold instead. Thermal Remediation raises an infested room above 120 degrees, which kills bed bugs and their eggs without dangerous pesticides. For sensitive spaces where heat is hard to use, we apply Cryonite, a frozen CO2 treatment that kills on contact. We begin with a careful inspection, using canine teams when needed, so every hiding spot is found....

Mice and rats look for warmth and food as the weather changes, and they can get into a home through gaps most people never notice. Our rodent control work focuses on finding how they are getting in and why they are drawn to your property. We seal entry points, recommend sanitation changes that remove food and shelter, and place monitoring and bait stations where they will do the most good. We know how quickly rodent problems can grow, so we keep the response prompt. Our goal is to stop the activ...

Termites can cause serious damage before anyone notices them, so catching them early matters. Our termite work begins with a thorough inspection of the structure, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, and signs of activity in both visible and hidden areas. Depending on what we find, we recommend a treatment method suited to your building and explain the reasons behind it. We also point out moisture and wood-to-soil contact problems that invite termites, since fixing those helps protect the proper...

Raccoons, squirrels, and other animals sometimes move into attics, crawl spaces, and chimneys, and they can cause real damage once they settle in. Our wildlife removal starts with identifying the animal and finding where it is getting access to your property. We remove the animal using humane methods, then seal the openings so others cannot follow. We also clean up any droppings or nesting material that could pose a health risk. Because a removal done without sealing usually leads to a repeat pr...
