I had a desperate emergency issue with yellow jackets which had made 3 nests on my property and worst one was outside at the very bottom edge of my back kitchen door somehow under and inside where I could not even see where the nest was at. Some were now flying around in my basement! I called on Saturday early AM and Rudy answered the phone immediately. He informed me he would be here this same day and gave me an approximate time, then kept me up to date exactly when he was on his way. My problems were quickly and efficiently resolved within a short period of time for a reasonable price. Rudy advised me of exactly what would be the result and to keep him informed for follow up for him to return if necessary. He was also very knowledgeable on helping me learn that aerosol sprays and traps just do not do the complete job to rid these particular pests, if they even do anything at all. At first, I had looked all over the internet prior to find a pest control company in my area here and almost all of the others were getting bad ratings of some sort with most closed Saturday. Many had complaints of not showing up, delaying their visit for days, just plain horrible service or ridiculous pricing. I would totally recommend Lake Cook Pest Control in a heartbeat for great customer service and a job completed with short notice and very efficiently done! Thank you Rudy. read more

We just moved into our Arlington Heights house and did some renovations right away. Bugs are part of a new home, but the abundance of flies was a cause for concern. We started noticing a lot of large flies in the house and did some investigating. Sure enough, there was a decaying mouse in the crawl space with a bunch of larvae around it. We immediately called Lake Cook Pest Control. Rudy came right away and accessed the situation. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He went to all attic access points and into the crawl space. He sprayed for common house bugs in the interior and exterior including remediating a couple wasp nests we didn't even know about. After, he did a complete report on possible access points for rodents with pictures and suggestions for keeping them out, as well as, setting up traps and bait. Through the whole process he explained what he was doing and why. I was a little annoying, following him around and asking questions, but he was extremely patient and professional in addressing all my questions. I feel a lot better about my house being pest and bug free now, which is especially important to us because of a rambunctious little 1 y.o. running around. Plus my wife is going to stop calling me over for a spider kill while I'm watching the game. Happy wife, happy life. So glad i called Rudy. read more

I had called quite a few pest control companies desperate to find someone that could talk me through an issue I was dealing with. Most didn't answer because it was Saturday afternoon, some had never heard of or didn't provide service for this, or they were a customer call center that couldn't provide any information without sending someone out to do an inspection first. Lake Cook Pest Control provided exactly what I needed. Which was honestly just a real conversation during a stressful time, with an experienced professional. He was honest and knowledgeable. It felt like I was on the phone with a trusted friend. Talking with him took so much stress off my shoulders... I started the day in tears but by the time I got off the phone with him, I no longer felt like what I was experiencing would be the end of the world. He even went beyond what I was looking for by providing further support which ended up being a huge help in getting what I needed taken care of. We need more companies around like this one! Although I pray I never need any pest control services again lol, they will be the first phone call I make! Thank you again, Rudy. read more

Rudy came out today to take care of a spider problem I was having. He was on time, actually he was early, so that's even better and he was knowledgeable and polite. He didn't try to add any unnecessary services, or push for a contract. He was up front and honest. I figured I would need multiple appointments. Nope, Rudy flat out said this treatment should do it and if you have any issues in six weeks please let me know. Well it's been one day and I haven't seen a single spider so I am confident in saying I certainly won't need to call back with a spider problem. Now should I have issues with any other evil little bugs, he will certainly be the company I call. I will also add, if you're a pet owner rest assured the spray used is non toxic to your pets and dries within fifteen minutes. Of course Rudy will explain this all to you but I figured I would mention it as well since we have a dog and cats as well. Well what are you waiting for?! Look at my review and even the others. You need a pest control guy, call Rudy and Lake Cook Pest Control now. You won't be disappointed. read more

We had a terrible bee problem (easily dozens, possibly more) near the roofline of our screened in porch that had been plaguing us all summer long. The exterminators we had previously been using came out twice and were completely ineffectual at getting rid of the bees - they weren't even slightly reduced by what they tried to do. So we decided to call Lake Cook Pest Control and give them a try. Rudy came out the same day we called, donned his protective gear and thoroughly sprayed throughout the area the bees were concentrated in, and the bees were completely eradicated. This was a huge relief because they were starting to get into the screened in porch and nearing the entrance to the house. Then, two days later we noticed a separate smaller concentration of bees in the bushes by our front sidewalk. Rudy came out the same day and took care of them for free! We really appreciate how Rudy went above and beyond for us and would highly recommend Lake Cook Pest Control to anyone else facing a similar insect problem. read more

We have used this company for 3 years. We've had ants, small and large, spiders, etc. Rudy comes out in the spring, like he did today, sprays the perimeter in the interior and also the exterior including around the deck, lower exterior windows. Very thorough and in one treatment per year, we have NO ants, NO spiders. We have a pet bird and 12 year old dog and as he is a pet owner and father of a 13 month old, we know he only uses safe products. I highly recommend him and have referred him to several neighbors and friends. There is no point in getting sucked into a contract with a pest control company. Rudy does not sell that. He says if we see anything he will come back at no charge. Excellent service, very friendly, very professional. We trust him completely with his service. read more

I called on a holiday weekend expecting an answering machine. Imagine my surprise when Rudy answered the phone! He answered all my questions, gave me a preliminary quote over the phone and was out here Tuesday morning right after the holiday. Called to say he would be a little late. Great service, was respectful of my property, and even added on another small area to the treatment. Quote was spot on, too. We'll see if the carpenter bees come back, but it really doesn't matter because future touchups for this season are included! Would definitely recommend LCPC! read more

My wife found out that we had a person over at our house who was having a bed bug issue. Let's just say she wasn't calm about it. I was referred to Lake Cook Pest a Control from a friend that had used them so I gave them a call. Rudy was able to fit us in his schedule right away, he came over sprayed our home and most importantly was able to give my wife peace of mind.... which then gave me peace of mind! I highly recommend this company. We received knowledgeable honest help and Rudy also has a wonderful personality! read more

Mouse ran across my kitchen floor!!! Messaged super man, I mean Rudy and he was out ASAP! Just like the reviews I read on Yelp said, he is very professional and knows his stuff. Really felt like I was dealing with somebody I could trust to get the job done based on our conversation over the phone. It was like he knew my house better than I did. Everything he mentioned in our talk he ended up pointing out to me during his service call. I will definitely use Rudy and his company again for ants and spiders in the spring. read more

I got quotes from 10 companies over 2 days. LCPC gave the best guarantee and price so I went with them despite less reviews than some other companies. 3 companies didn't service my area so it was more like out of companies.. I never used pest control services before so not much to go on. I have no complaints. Rudy came out and explained what he was doing and what to expect. I am pretty sure things will play out as explained as he seemed to really know about bugs. I will update if results are not satisfactory. read more

We highly endorse Lake Cook Pest Control in Barrington!!! From the time we called to the completion of the extermination, for an unwelcome Wasp nest, Rudy was uncommonly efficient, courteous, technically superior and competitively priced. He arrived at our home within one and a half hours of the call and new exactly what and how to remedy the issue. Going from a high level of anxiety, with several aggressive wasps in the house, to complete peace occured in two hours. You'll be very glad you called him. read more

My first review. We got Rudy's name from an online search of local pest control services and selected him based upon his excellent reviews. Now we add our own positive experience with his services. Rudy is knowledgeable, kind, and professional. He cultivates a great relationship with his clients (in our opinion) and leaves no question unanswered. We will continue to use Lake Cook Pest Control. Highly recommend his services if you are in the market. Mr and Mrs Sand read more

I used Lake Cook Pest Control for mice. Rudy was very knowledgeable and discussed my different options. He understood that I wanted an appointment asap and was able to accommodate me. He spent a long time at my home becoming familiar with my interior and exterior. He gave me his recommendation and wrote an assessment afterward for me to correct some issues that he found. I followed through with his plan and have not had any issues since! I highly recommend him. read more

We had critter friends, the small crawling kind, and they were starting to take over. We couldn't get rid of them so we called Lake Cook Pest Control. He made an appointment, called to confirm and was on time. Wonderfully polite and thorough and in a day or two, no more critter friends. That was close to a month ago and we are pest free. The price was right and he didn't try to sell us a contract like the bigger outfits do. I highly recommend Lake Cook Pest Control. read more

I called Rudy when we had a problem with ants in our home. We frequently babysit and have an infant in our home, so I wanted to be sure any pest control would not be toxic, and Rudy assured me that the products he uses would be safe. We scheduled an appointment for a couple of days after I called and have had no problems with insects since. I highly recommend Lake Cook Pest Control and will definitely use Rudy's services again in the future if we have the need. read more

We just moved into our new home and discovered some mouse activity in the basement. We learned that there were many more signs of mouse activity after having Lake Cook Pest Control out. They thoroughly inspected both our interior and exterior of our house. They set out bait in the crawl space and the attic. The entire process was explained over phone and again while Rudy was doing it. We are very pleased with the customer service we received. Highly recommend. read more

We discovered a giant and active hornets nest in one of our bushes. I called Lake Cook Pest Control and they came out the same day. The service guy took a quick look and said he would be able to remove it quickly. Which he did. He then sprayed to make sure that any remaining hornets didn't come back. It has now been two weeks and all hornets are gone. I was very satisfied with what they did and would highly recommend them, the price was very good too. read more

Bought a new house and discovered I was living with unwanted creepy spiders. Contacted Rudy first thing in the morning and he was onsite spraying his magically death concoction by that same afternoon. GOODBYE SPIDERS! Rudy also pointed out some potential mouse concerns and offered affordable solutions before these invaders settle in for the winter. All in all, Rudy was professional and I'd highly recommend him if you run into similar issues. read more

We have used Rudy and Lake cook pest control for the past three years or so here in Lake Zurich. He is very responsive, prompt, professional, and is very knowledgeable. He uses child and pet friendly products and is extremely thorough with his treatment. He typically comes once a year in early spring and everything is good for the remainder of the year. Highly recommended and very cost-effective and no ants, spiders, or any other bugs. We love it. read more
