I started using Chem Wise last year.Without question it's been a wonderful experience. We've been dealing with ants & mice. Dave P. was over today to address problems. He was quick & efficient. My wife & i are very pleased with his work. He was cordial, answered & addressed all of our problems. Thanks Dave! read more

I had a good relationship with Chemwise for years, with mice and some other pest problems. We had the three times a year treatment deal just for the basement and the ground level exterior of the house to control crawling bugs. For the spring treatment, they sent someone who had never serviced us before. He sprayed wet TERMIDOR SC pesticide all over the porch. I raise monarchs on my porch - that did not happen this year because all my cats died. This makes me so sick and sad. So my review is Chemwise is good when you have an infestation of pests such as mice; their treatments will help. But do not ever get any outside treatment from them if you care about pollinators like monarchs. I thought their treatments were gentle. I don't know what I was thinking ....... read more

Chem-wise has been spraying my house for years. For the last few years I have had an issue with sewer flies. They could never locate them. Finally last year I did find the location of them. Chem-wise still can't treat or kill them. They have been back multiples after I found the location and they never resolve the issue. So I had the come back last week to retreat for the flies and they did a service ok top of that without asking or if was ok with me. Again this treatment was never told it was going to happen nor did I approve of it. I called the office and all they said was "well we treated your property". Well I didn't approve of the service and I am not sure if want to keep them since they can't resolve the issue. So be careful of them just showing up to your house and treating it without your permission. They don't care and just want your money. read more

It is hard to tell if the service actually worked. Their customer service could definitely have been better. I cancelled my plan after less than a year. read more

Mike, the technician who came to our home, sets the gold standard for excellence. He was courteous, helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. He showed up on time, addressed the situation in a most professional manner, with a very high degree of technical skills. We would recommend Chem-Wise without hesitation if Mike is a representative example of the caliber of their other employees. Terminix was a no-show for the two appointments they had scheduled, even after our contacting their Omaha call center who assured us that someone would keep the second appointment. read more

Had a Chem Wise technician Dave provide mice control service today. And Dave is an absolute compliment to Chem Wise, he is a true professional, knows his stuff and does a good job! Thank you Mr Garrison for all that you do! Paul read more

Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. Understand my concerns and responds. The technicians explain what to expect and next steps if needed

Love Chem-Wise, mostly because we have an awesome tech (Jim) who has serviced both of our houses in the western burbs over the years, whenever mice appear! Jim is knowledgeable about the critters, is thorough when it comes to inspecting both the inside and outside of our house, and ultimately figures where they're coming in and how best to close those entry points so that they're no longer a problem. Jim is always incredibly professional, has a wonderful sense of humor, and is dedicated to making sure our issues are always resolved in a timely manner. Highly recommend this company and Jim! read more

Very pleased with response time to come to my home to assess an issue. Michael was friendly, efficient, skilled & timely. Great customer service all around. read more

We have had Chemwise for almost 20 years as our outdoor pest management specialists with the tri-annual service. Every technician they have ever sent has been courteous and professional. And with their preventative maintenance around the perimeter, we have never had pests inside our house. We recently called them about a potential vole issue. Their technician, Jimmy, came out this morning. While we walked around the perimeter, he educated me on voles, their habits, what to look for, how to take preventative measures, etc. He is great example of the great customer service provided by Chemwise! read more

Me and bugs just don't mix. Hard to believe, right, given I'm a girl who loves her garden and all that comes along with it. But when those little critters that live outside decide to come inside? It's an all out war! And given it's a war, you want the best team on your side and Chem-Wise is just that team! Professional scheduling, on time service people, reasonable prices and eco friendly, all natural products that do the trick in a flash! Say good bye to those little buggers that should have stayed outside to begin with! Now granted, any pest control company usually can get rid of what ever you have an issue with (in my case it was ants and spiders) but when you have pets and people who live in your house, you want to make sure that the products used only deter the littlest creatures from wanting to live in your house. I've had traditional chemical companies work with me before and the smell alone gave me a headache. Not so with Chem-Wise. And the ants were gone almost instantly! And the service guy they sent, Ryan, was so patient and knowledgeable about the product they use and the guarantee they provide(and the best part, not pushy like so many of the pest removal companies are), I will most likely be signing up for ongoing service. Hey, when you live in a 100 year old house like I do, those little buggers have had generations to learn how to get in and make themselves comfortable. I'm just happy Chem-wise is here to let them know it's really not okay to "move in". read more

I just signed up for your new website. First may I say whoever designed it, "kudos to you" as it is Fantastic. Looking under the History tab, I noticed that this Spring treatment represents "10 years" as a customer with you and for good reason, because we have Never had a bad experience. All your technicians through the years have All been Awesome, the ladies answering your phones have Always been Polite & Professional. I'm down the road from you in a townhome community, I have told countless fellow dog walkers about your service because it's the Best around. Thank you for your time in reading this and thank you All for a Great 10 years and looking forward to the next 10 years (please don't ever leave the area.) read more

Called and spoke to a really friendly woman who I explained the issue to and she even steered me away from requesting the removal service since I didn't actually know what the problem was, just that I was seeing what looked like some sort of pest droppings. She had actually recommended their free inspection. Great! At this point I'm thinking I actually found a quality business that will do a good job. She told me they would need to turn the business over to a more local facility and that I would be getting a call back from this more local facility by the next day... That was 2 weeks ago without a call. Could I call them back? Sure, but I shouldn't have to, I'll just give my business to another provider that actually knows how to follow through... after all, if I can't get them to follow through on a phone call, how can I really expect them to follow through on pest removal? Especially when they seem to be pushing return service. read more

Although we had been pleased with the services provided by Chem-Wise in past years, we no longer are. After our recent experience, we will no longer hire their pest management services due to their unsatisfactory work, ineffective communication and lack of respect. To make matters worse was their response to our concerns by placing the onus on us the customers and by denying any culpability on their part. In past years, we were always given a call from the company to schedule an appointment at our convenience. They were to not only check several mouse traps in our garage but also to spray the entire perimeter of our residence. Prior to their scheduled appointment, we would always remove our bird feeders to avoid any chance of contamination. This time, they just showed up without any prior notice at all! Though the manager indicated that they had just sent out an email, he admitted that it had been sent to an incorrect address! Moreover, not only did the technician never check the mousetraps in the garage (which he was supposed to have done) but he also sprayed chemicals too close to the bird feeders. Companies that are customer-centric are far more successful at building brand loyalty than those who are not. It is as much a strategy as a culture of doing business that creates the best experience for the customer. Commitments are met, and so therefore, customers feel valued. Getting to know your customers and what they want and need is imperative. Although mistakes do happen, there's always a lesson to be learned. What is more, there are methods to be used for dealing with a faux pas--specifically, Acknowledging, Apologizing and Addressing the mistake. By putting customers first, it is always in their best interests to be treated with integrity, respect and empathy. read more

I give Chem Wise 5 plus stars! We have used them for the past 4 years for Pest and lawn treatments. I would highly recommend "Jimmy" and his work with Chem Wise. Our lawn looks gorgeous with the treatments and he was a pleasure to work with!!!! read more

We have been Chemwise customers since we moved to Wheaton almost 5 years ago, they have always been responsive and professional. Our technician Jim has the most outstanding customer service and goes above and beyond to help troubleshoot bug and rodent issues as well as provide education. Highly recommend their services. read more

We used Chem-Wise for years at our home in Buffalo Grove. Customer service was amazing, the techs were nice, our home was as pest-free as you could expect and the price was reasonable. We have since moved to the East Coast, and we are now desperately trying to find a clone of them here to no avail! They set a very, very high standard for the art out there. Thanks for your great service (and please come to Philly! LOL) read more

We noticed pinholes in our hardwood flooring so we requested a free inspection to determine if insects were causing the problem. Davis Garrison came out and did a very comprehensive, detailed inspection of our flooring. He determined that the cause was not insects, and he gave us very helpful suggestions on what to do about the pinholes. He was very pleasant and polite and very respectful of our home. We highly recommend Davis as well as Chem-wise. read more

The guys are definitely knowledgeable This is the 2nd yr we used them to get rid of those nasty pavement ants They have a great warranty and if the ants come back they will respray again at no charge They came on time and left an invoice on our door I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants use non toxic chemicals to get rid of pests like ants read more

We are long time Chem Wise pest and turf customers. They have been consistently excellent and reliable service providers in both areas. Whenever few times there have been any issues they have promptly and thoroughly responded to our complete satisfaction. Today however may have exceeded all expectations with David on a rogue mouse call. After showing him the room where the mouse was seen last night, right on cue the mouse ran between us. After moving some things around, David cornered the mouse and using one of my many take out containers he caught him by the tail and secured him. No old fashioned mouse traps or glue traps needed. David was a real pro and got the job done. Kudos David! read more

Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management - Pest Control Near Me - Aurora, Illinois

I previously had a little hiccup with the company during my scheduled appt, however, thankfully Luke went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the service.

I use Chem Wise for my pets control and for turf management starting last year. I am very satisfied with the work they do. They are customer oriented and responsive to customer needs. The lady on the phone from customer service for pets control is great and very Professional. I had Jimmy this year coming to treat my lawn twice. He is very professional, smiley, and knowledgeable technician. My lawn with them looks great compared to other companies I hired in the past. If the pets or weed problem does not go away after application, they are gladly come to treat again free of charge. I definitely will recommend using Chem Wise for pets and turf management. read more

We have used Chem-Wise for a few years now. We are always so happy with their service further we always request their field tech Jim. He is very professional, very kind and so good at his job. We absolutely would not use another company. read more

I had noticed some yellow jackets flying around the bushes in the front of our house, and we also found a few indoors by the kitchen windows, also in the front of the house, so I suspected that they got in when the front door was opened. WRONG! My lovely wife went down to our basement this morning to get a sweater from a spare closet and came running back up with the news that we had yellow jackets in our sump room, which happens to be right in the front of our house. Yikes! A quick service search on Yelp brought up a few local exterminators and Chem-Wise called back in less than an hour and said they could come out this afternoon. Al, the technician, called on his way and said he would be a little earlier than scheduled. When he got here, I led him downstairs and it took him all of five minutes to locate the nest. Thirty minutes later, the bees be gone. Al removed the nest, vacuumed up the dead yellow jackets AND sprayed some powder outside where we had seen the bees entering. Great, quick service. Al was great too, very friendly, courteous and well-spoken, and left the area clean and bee-free. Thanks Chem-Wise! read more

We used Chem-Wise for 15 plus years and always mentioned to the tech when he was out for treatment about the carpenter ants we continually see outside. The response was always the same, the treatment will take care of them and they are usually on the move. On the move was Right. Destroying a wall in our garage which completely had to be rebuilt from the sill plate up. Once the wall was opened up, it was discovered that there were 4 active nests. That kind of damage does not happen overnight and most likely happened over a few years which they were well aware of the carpenter ants. So needless to say, Chem-Wise really didn't know what to say nor did they offer any resolution to the damage that occurred or any reimbursement for the reconstruction of a destroyed wall due to the failure of their service and treatments that are more a less useless. They should change the name to Scam-Wise. You can receive better results and better pricing by others. Highly disappointed and will never recommend Chem-Wise to anyone. If I could give them a negative star rating, I would. But unfortunately 1 Star is the lowest I could select... read more

What great service! Chem Wise actually picks up their phones and immediately speak with a very friendly human voice! I have used this company for years and they are always timely, and efficient and through. I will continue to use them as I live in a very wooded area and their service is perfect for us! Thank you Chem-Wise read more

We aren't even customers (yet!) - but we were so impressed! We had some work done on the house and ended up with a fly situation (bleh!) in our basement. We currently use Aptive and they WOULD NOT come to our house for this! I called Chem-wise based on recommendations from local Moms groups. Trent or Tim (I think that was his name) came out and found there was a dead mouse and took care of it for us (especially helpful as husband was out of town). He was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We will be dumping our membership with Aptive and switching! Thank you! I can now sleep easier! read more

New to the company. I tried everything to get rid if the dandelion forest growing in my yard. Jimmy came out and did an amazing job explaining what he was doing to my yard and how it would help it. After the just the first application I could see and amazing turnaround in my yard. THANK YOU Jimmy and thank you chemwise. Would definitely recommend to everyone! read more

Marty has eliminated every noxious pest on my whole 6-acre tract! Wish I had discovered these guys years ago!

Jim has been our rep for several years. He does a great job! He is very responsive, friendly, thorough and knowledgeable. We feel that we can always depend on him. I always recommend Chem-wise when requested. read more

We've been using these guys for just about a year now, and I can't believe it took me so long to sign on with an exterminator who just comes regularly and sprays. I've always just been used to having spiders hiding in my basement, a few random ants wandering around in my kitchen, and typically always bought the various pest control solutions they sell at the store (like those dumb little plastic things ants are allegedly supposed to walk through, never saw an ant go near one in my entire life). Anyway, they do a tri-annual service, and will come back to re-spray whenever you see other bugs. Following the initial application this spring, we had them come back twice more inside of the next few weeks as it seemed like they sprayed along the foundation of our house outside, which just made the spiders decide to move up around our windows. They sprayed the sides of the house, and once again the spiders moved up to the eaves. The thing time they just went absolutely nuts spraying everywhere. Once you get over this initial hump, you just don't see bugs anymore. They've come back to do their routine spraying since, but I was just thinking yesterday how I haven't seen a single crawling insect near my house in months. (Which is what prompted me to write this review.) Everyone with the company is super friendly, and I've had such a great experience with their pest control that I think I'm going to sign up for their lawn fertilization treatment next year. read more

We currently use Chemwise for our yard maintenance. Jimmy is always prompt and makes sure that he takes care of any issues we are having in the yard. For example, we had a large patch of crabgrass going by our driveway. My husband used Round-up, but it killed all the grass. We replaced the soil, but the crabgrass came back. I am not sure what Jimmy used, but it killed the crabgrass and our new grass is growing in. We also use Chemwise for our pest control. Ricco is great and whenever we have trouble, they are prompt and have it under control. We have been with Chemwise for 20 years! Great job guys! read more

Riko was great. Not only very personable but also very professional. Came on time. Called before he showed up. Whatever he did it worked great. We have no ants in our kitchen anymore. We will def continue using their services. read more

I've been a customer of Chem-Wise for a little over a year after a friend referred me when I found ants in our kitchen and had a meltdown. I detest any kind of bugs but this was the worst because of having them in our pantry and kitchen! Chem-Wise sent out Jim. I can't say enough great things about Jim. Any issue I've had he's come and even fits us in when he has a packed schedule. He's a wonderful guy. Great to talk to and above all else - fixes the issues we have! No ants!!! At one point I feel like I had them coming every week (for other issues; wasps, stink bugs, spiders, beetles, & after finding mice in the basement & garage - the joys of a new (to us) home). Jim was and still is great. He wears booties over his shoes when walking around (which is some of you know, shoes in the house are a pet peeve of mine!). I'm happy with everything with Chem-Wise. The service, the price (one quarterly fee - and they come out as many times as you need!!), and the overall attentiveness of Jim. He never makes me feel like a bother (even though my husband tells me to live with the pests and stop calling to have Jim come out). I'm sure chem-wise knows (and if they don't know, they do now!) the amazing technician that Jim is. Thanks Jim for everything you do and I hope they pay you good for your great customer service. Ps - this is not a paid endorsement, I'm also not related to Jim, and I never knew him before we hired Chem-Wise. I'm just genuinely happy with him and the service he provides for us & our family. Keep up the great work Jim! read more

Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management has been great to work with for the last few years I've used them. They do the bi-annual spraying for the outside of the house as well as helping with a mice problem in the crawl recently. The techs took the time to figure out the problem. They found the place of entry and closed it off. I will definitely continue to use them for many years to come. Top Notch service. I'm in real estate and I will definitely share their name without hesitation. Keep up the great work! read more

Thanks Chem-Wise team, especially Marty who was the tech who came and did our inspection today for our mortgage refi.. Great guy, great service.... of course he is an Army veteran so I wouldn't expect anything less.. However I have to say.... to Marty... "Go Navy....Beat Army!!" Thanks for the service Marty and for the conversation we shared about both our military careers, it was fun! read more

Each year my baby ant problem seems to just get worse and worse. This year was enough. I called ChemWise, spoke with Miranda who was just a JOY! I told her my "ants are marching" and I needed HELP. She answered all my questions and had me set up super quickly with an appointment within a couple days. James came out and was super great. He explained everything he as doing before he did it and was great with my kids. A month or so later I seen some more ants, called and james came out again very quickly with the same great service. Thank you! read more

Tim was out today for a recurring mouse issue and he diagnosed something very different, squirrels, of which he disposed of one dead body. I have used Chemwise since Dave (owner) was my technician. They have always been consistent, courteous, efficient, and accommodating. I recommend to all my friends and neighbors. read more

Wonderful experience! Chem Wise helped me with a wasp issue and also removed a hornets nest. Brian R. was my technician and was very informative and professional. They are priced reasonably and provide quality service. If I have any future needs arise, Chem Wise will be who I call. read more
