License: Held by the contractor and issued in Illinois. Ask which name it is held under — a trading name and the licensed entity are often not the same.
Price: What the pest is, what the treatment involves, how many visits it takes and what it costs — explained before any work begins.
The call: Describing what you found commits you to nothing. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Coverage: By town, not by region. DeKalb and the towns around it.

Where they get in around DeKalb

DeKalb is largely housing from the 1970s, and homes of that period share a predictable set of openings: A crawl space vents with torn screen, B the gap where the dryer vent leaves the wall, and C the point where the main water line enters.

Add a garage that sits below the living space and the list is complete. An inspection follows that outside line first, then works inward to where you saw the problem.

What to say when you call

→What you saw and where in the home it turned up. A trail on a counter and one insect in a bathroom are different problems.
→How long it has been going on, and whether it is spreading.
→Whether the home is rented. About half the homes in DeKalb are rented, and a rental visit is usually booked by whoever owns the building — that changes who signs and when the visit lands.
→The address, so it reaches a technician working DeKalb County.

What happens after the call

You say what you have seen and where in the home it turned up. That is usually enough to narrow it down on the phone.

A technician then inspects the property — inside, around the outside, and in the crawl space or attic where the sign usually starts. Identification comes before treatment, and the treatment is quoted before it begins.
