2 days before my daughter's birthday party, I notice a very active, completely hidden, bumble bee hive with a main bee entrance right where people would be sitting on the deck. I ask the landlord to send an exterminator. Instead, the landlord shows up with a can of spray and sprays into the bee entrance. After emptying the entire can, he leaves. Next morning, 3 hours before the party, I start arranging things outside. The bees, which have always been docile and consistently avoided confrontations with humans in the past, were TICKED OFF! It was like they became completely different creatures. Highly aggressive. Literally attempting to fly into my mouth, up my pants, chasing me around the yard. I told my wife "We're going to have to reschedule." Of course that made my wife just as angry as the bees. So I decided to use Yelp to find a highly recommended PROFESSIONAL exterminator in my area. Quick Kill seemed like the obvious choice. Called them up at 8:30 am. John answered the phone immediately and was at my door in less than an hour! He thoroughly examined and explored the problem from every angle. Then he killed them bees! Hundreds of them. Then he treated the entire exterior of the house so they wouldn't re-nest. He informed me, that since we had to kill the bees during the day in order to resolve the problem before the party, not all of them would be present and some would return. But thanks to the product he left in the hive, those bees would died too. And that's exactly what happened. Within a couple hours the bees were gone. Our party guests had no clue that a problem ever existed. John saved my daughter's birthday party! He was very polite, friendly, sincere, skilled, thorough and respectful. He even made sure to keep my herbs out of harms way. Not only did he take care of the bees. He also took care of the spiders that had been coming in my window wells. It was a Quick Kill just like the company name. And even though this is something my landlord should handle, I gladly paid for it. This is definitely the company you should call. I highly doubt you'd have a better experience with anyone else. Superb service. Very reasonable price. Loved them. read more

Long time Yelp user, first time poster. Never written any reviews on Yelp before because usually the postings are spot on and I dont bother. This time, not so much. Pros: Quick turn around - Next day. Phone staff - Pretty friendly. Cons: After multiple visits, couldnt seem to get rid of my problem. They did knock it down, but were unable to knock it out completely for some reason? When the guy came out the first time, he seemed like he was in a big hurry. A week later I was back in the same boat. They came out again and said they were going to try some other stuff. A week later, same thing. My wife is a bit neurotic about invaders and I understand that we will never be totally free of pests, but with the glowing reviews they have here, I expected more from them and so did she. They were not able to solve our problem, we had to call in someone else. As I said, long time Yelp user and I usually read everything and take it in before calling a company, I didnt on this one, I just went with them and the reviews they had up there. Now that I look a bit closer, over half of their 5 star reviews have come in the last 6 months. Lets face it, that should have been a red flag right there and had I caught it before calling, I wouldnt have... read more

Yesterday's service call to address our ant problem was an effective, informative, and frankly pleasurable experience. Our technician Andrew took his time to treat the entire house, either by spraying an innocuous pesticide, injecting gel bait into crevices in the most active area in the kitchen, and by judiciously placing bait traps in other areas. He also treated the entire perimeter of the house, and in the process I found an area where ice had been hanging out! Got that problem addressed too! Quick Kill was recommended by my Realtor, who has used them before to great satisfaction, I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a professional solution to pest control. read more

Tim and David came to save the day today! They removed a hornet nest from the second story apex of my house. They removed the nest and sprayed to make sure none will come back to bother us, and even if they did they offer a 30 day guarantee. They also treated my interior and exterior for the normal seasonal insects. With all that said, what sets them apart from anyone else is the "family owned" feel. They are a family owned business and it shows, starting with the first call you make when you schedule an appointment all the way through to when they leave at the end of the service. I appreciate that friendly and kind service. I love to support the local business. read more

We were just visited by Scott from Quick Kill to address remaining problem of rats in back yard. He replaced baits in 4 traps, but more importantly, located several main burrows to collapse and place more baits. He also took the time to explain the complexity of trapping a very intelligent and prolific rodent. We will wait and see if this more extensive approach diminishes the rat population, but we have been quite satisfied with the service AND the knowledge of the technicians. Scott assured us that we will outlive the rats and with his and Quick Kill's expertise, our hopes have been raised! read more

We happily use Quick Kill for standard quarterly pest services, but today they went above and beyond with a racoon issue we were having. I called at 1:20 p.m., and they had a tech at our house before 2:00 p.m. While I know that was a fortunate scenario, the manager took the time to explain to me what they could do and then found a way to make it happen on the same day. And, the tech quickly and professionally addressed the issue. I will call Quick Kill first every time. read more

I called Quick Kill Exterminating after finding black ants in my house. They came out the following day and the technician (Andrew) was great. He was very professional and represents the company very well! He was very thorough when both treating my house and explaining the whats and whys of the treatment. I will definitely use them again (hopefully I wont need to!) and would recommend them to anyone needing pest control. read more

Very pleased with the service received today by Quick Kill Exterminating. Our tech, Scott was super knowledgeable answering all my questions/concerns regarding a rat problem in our yard. He also put a positive spin on this rather unpleasant issue. He arrived at our house quickly and never made us feel rushed. I feel that we can tackle this problem with the knowledge and resources Scott provided. Highly recommend. read more

I love Quick Kill. It's a great local, family-owned business. Years ago, Mark, the owner, first got rid of my carpenter ant problem. I have been using their quarterly maintenance program ever since then. Their techs are well trained, knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. One even changed a few light bulbs I couldn't reach! I've only needed an extra visit a couple times and they were very responsive and prompt. read more

Earier this year, I had a serious problem with ants and wasps. Quick Kill sent Jim, who did a thorough and efficient job dealing with the infestations. He took the time to explain how he was fixing the problem and answered all my questions. I'm now on regular maintenance. I like knowing that maintenance covers any incidents between seasonal visits. I recommend Quick Kill. Good product - good service. read more

On a Friday, we found a hole in our fascia and saw a squirrel sitting nearby. By Monday morning, QK technician JP confirmed that it looked like a squirrel hole and placed two live traps on the roof nearby. Within two days the traps and the squirrels were gone, and JP patched the hole until we can fix it properly. JP was super the whole way: quick, knowledgeable, and precise. Highly recommended. read more

A. showed up on time. He was very polite and professional. He had vey good manners. After the service was provided, A. reported a few small issues he noticed while doing his job. He offered mosquito service too which I declined at that point since I do not experience any issues with mosquitoes at this time. I can recommend services of Quick Kill Exterminating company. Thank you, A. read more

I am ant free! In raising a shed my landscaper disrupted an ant colony beneath it. The shed was overrun with eggs and ants. It still gives me shivers! I called Quick Kill and they came out the next day. Problem solved. I was able to reduce the cost by applying a Yelp coupon! I'm happy to support a local family-run Glenview business and highly recommend this company. read more

Honestly, I can't give these guys and our technician Casey especially a higher review. I've had several service services over the years, the last being EcoShield, which is pretty much the worst... Ever. This group has outperformed my expectations -- which are high-- every time. read more
