The Bug Stop

Wonderful customer service and they have items that you can not find in a regular department store. The poison and wool pads that were brought are keeping those rodents out of my home. Really appreciate this place. If you want good quality. Please check out The Bug Stop. Will be back for any of my rodent/​pest needs. There is parking across the street and on the next street over for free. Beautiful for a store located so close to the city.

THANK YOU BUG STOP!
Just before my lease ended 2 years ago, I received a vague notice from my landlord that there have been many bed bug infestations in Chicago. It worried me a little but I didn’t think much of it until I was pulling apart my bed frame and found about 20 bed bugs hiding in between the slats. I immediately freaked out and did a ton of research, but almost all my options cost hundreds of dollars. Even worse — most of the information I found while frantically researching told me explicitly not to move during an infestation. I had less than 10 days before I was supposed to be out of the apartment and my slumlord simply didn’t respond when I told him the apartment had bed bugs.
Time to take things into my own hands (or, more accurately, to place my trust in the hands of the Bug Stop). I came in after thoroughly researching what chemicals actually seem to work against these awful bugs and was given many inexpensive recommendations. I followed them to a T, heat treated everything I could, threw out a ton of stuff, and lived out of plastic totes for a while.
Two years later, they have not reappeared. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Very knowledgable staff. Great selection of products for all types of pest control. They are a little expensive though. But I definitely plan on buying from them again.

After spending close to $ 100 on fruit fly remedies at Home Depot that didn’t work I stopped at The Bug Stop. The owner is obviously an expert in his field and once I quickly explained my issue told me I had drain flies and knew exactly where they were coming from. I bought a $ 13 spray, sprayed it in our laundry drain as he instructed and literally within an hour the drain flies were gone! Love this joint!

I just wanted to put an update on this situation. It’s been a over a year since the flea infestation and after one very thorough treatment we (cat and humans) have been itch free!!!

Pros: Patient employees answering all questions with detailed explanations, sells effective products
Cons: Expensive

This place is this best when it comes to answering your questions. I had so many questions and they answered them with much patience and great detail. The products they recommend are very effective as I have managed to dramatically reduce the amount of pests in my house.
However, the only drawback is that their products are well overpriced. I bought something from them for $ 70, but I could have bought the exact same product on Amazon for $ 40. Unfortunately, I needed the product ASAP.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I went there today to ask a few questions, compare prices ect. I happened to run into a guy, quite possibly the owner. He seemed very knowledgeable about controlling what I need to control. I ask a million questions, with «WHY?» being my favorite. He humored me and told me why… He did say one thing, that I had forgotten, when you buy from a faceless person/​entity online, you LOOSE out on their experience, knowledge, and face to face interaction… Sometimes the free priceless addons, are worth a little bit more than the price of the items. I had even called back with a followup question. I was directed to him again, and rather than a «guess-​timate» he shot me a COMPLETE no suprises PRICE, including taxes as well
