About Pro-Max Pest Control

Pro-Max is the smarter approach to pest control, providing both residential and commercial pest management. We provide solutions for more than 47 common household pests, and we are committed to protecting customers with environmentally responsible methods.

Who we are

We service Chicagoland — especially Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast and the Loop area. Our technicians are fully qualified exterminators who know exactly how to handle pest eradication, and we are the fastest-growing pest control company in the Chicagoland area.

That growth has come almost entirely from referrals, which is a useful discipline. If the work is not right, you do not get referred. So we do the parts that are easy to skip: the full inspection, the identification, the follow-up visit, the honest conversation about the moisture problem or the gap under the door that is actually causing this.

Why organic and IPM

We offer organic pest control because most of the places we work are places where blanket chemical application is simply not appropriate — homes with small children and pets, schools, daycares, hospitals and restaurants.

Integrated Pest Management is the framework behind it. IPM is an effective, environmentally friendly approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices beyond pesticides. In practice that means we inspect first, identify the species properly, find and remove what is attracting them, seal the ways in, and apply targeted treatment only where it is genuinely needed.

It takes longer than spraying a perimeter and driving away. It is also the reason our customers stop calling us about the same pest.
