Why Pro-Max
Good night — don't let the bed bugs bite.
We are the fastest-growing pest control company in the Chicagoland area, and we got there by doing the unglamorous parts properly: finding the source, treating it correctly, and standing behind the work.

What we treat
Pests we deal with every week
Every pest has its own habits, and the treatment only works if it matches them. Here is how we approach the ones we see most across Chicago.
Residential & commercial
Safe enough for a daycare. Strong enough for a restaurant kitchen.
We use safe, organic treatment in schools, daycares, hospitals and restaurants — the environments where getting it wrong is least acceptable. The same standard applies to your home.
Our approach is built on Integrated Pest Management: inspect, identify, exclude, treat where treatment is warranted, then monitor. It is more work up front than spraying a perimeter and leaving, and it is the reason the problem does not come back.
Find it, seal it, treat it
We look for the way in — not just the pest in front of us.
A mouse fits through a gap the width of a pencil. Trapping without sealing those gaps is a treadmill: you remove this month's rodents and next month's move in.
It is the part customers mention most. As one put it — we find the points of entry, seal them so pests can no longer get in, and exterminate what is already there.
How it works

Ahmad came in less than two hours when we suspected we had a bed bug and he was very thorough in his inspection. Highly recommend for timely/urgent issues!
I actually agreed about pest solution service which quoted me $25 less money then Ahmed did, however Ahmed's confidence in his craft over the phone impressed me so much that the business is his, and he didn't disappoint. He is a master of his craft indeed, his background and knowledge in chemistry makes him stand out among other pest control business'.
Ahmed is the top expert in pest control. He went out of his way to meet me outside of his typical service area, and gave me the opportunity to work alongside him. The big difference with his pest company is that they find points of entry, seal these points so pests can no longer enter, and exterminate the pests that are already occupying your space. They also make sure to explain everything and are welcoming to any questions or concerns you might have. Definitely keeping Promax on speed dial just in case, they are reliable and efficient in what they do!
Great service and value! Ahmed assisted us with extermination of roaches today and he was wonderful to work with. He answered our phone call in a very timely matter and immediately set up an appointment a few days later. I appreciated that he asked us questions about our roach situation to make sure we received the appropriate level of care. Upon arrival, Ahmed went above and beyond to ensure our pest situation was under control. He went the extra mile to explain what he was doing any why he was doing it. We had a few very curious kids on site and he was very kind to them while cautioning them against touching the pest spray. Overall, I absolutely recommend his services to anyone. Thank you Promax Pest!
Seriously, look no further. I thought all 5 stars?? Must be too good to be true. I was wrong, this service met and exceeded my expectations. Ahmed is thorough, professional, fair, attentive to your needs and incredibly kind. I was disappointed that the place I moved into had fleas, but Ahmed took care of this thoroughly and put my mind at ease. He was very attentive, communicative and did such a great job. His quotes were very fair and he takes great pride in his work. After conversing with Ahmed it was evident that he deeply understands the science behind pest management. Highly recommended and would for sure use this service again!
Ahmed was very professional and responsive. I called him for treatment at my parents tenants basement, and he came promptly (Same day) and explained everything thoroughly to my mother and I (via the phone because I was not able to be present). Price was very reasonable, and treatment was completed efficiently in a timely manner. We will definitely keep Promax Pest Control in our books, and reach out for further treatments if need be. Thank you!

IPM is an effective, environmentally friendly approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices beyond pesticides — inspection, identification, exclusion, sanitation and monitoring, with targeted treatment where it is genuinely needed rather than blanket spraying.
