Morton, Illinois · Family-owned since 1984
Your neighbors, not a franchise.
The technicians who protect your home live on the same streets, deal with the same river-bluff basements and the same Midwest seasons. Forty years, one home at a time.
Who we are
What started as a small, family-owned operation in Morton has grown into a trusted name protecting thousands of homes across Peoria, Tazewell and McLean counties, without ever losing what made us local.
Four decades on, we are still family-owned and still answering our own phone. In this business there are not many of us left.

No guessing games
What pest control actually costs around here.
General pest control for a home, with no guessing. Every plan starts with a $199 initial service. Bed bug, flea, roach and rodent work is quoted after a free inspection, because the price depends on how far it has spread.

Quick answers
Before you call.
What types of pests do you treat?+
We handle everything from ants, cockroaches, rodents, termites, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, wasps, spiders, moles, and more.
How do I know if I have a pest infestation?+
Watch for droppings, live or dead pests, strange odors, scratching sounds in walls, damaged wood or wires, and bite marks. We offer free inspections if you’re unsure.
Are the treatments safe for my family and pets?+
Yes — modern pest control products (EPA-approved or green options) are safe when used as directed. We emphasize exterior barriers to minimize interior treatments.
How long does it take to see results?+
Response varies by pest type — some react quickly, others take days or weeks of treatment. Quarterly and semi-annual customers receive complimentary follow-up service if problems persist.
How often should I schedule treatment?+
A quarterly program is what we recommend, with semi-annual as the lighter option, since pest control products degrade over time from UV rays, rain, wind, and temperature changes.
