Gauntlet Pest Control

I’m always leery when I have to call for any type of service. You never know if they are going to over charge you or try to sell you additional services that you don’t need.
Spiders and silver fish are acceptable but then I killed what looked like a roach, I ‘freaked’ out! I called Gauntlet and spoke to Scott. Scott was very patient as I explained my ‘incident’. He was very thorough. He asked about the frequency of sightings, asked where in the condo I had seen it, heard my dog barking in the background and advised me that the treatment he used was ‘pet friendly’! Very considerate that he thought of my little furry friend!
He arrived and I again explained the incident. He advised me of the nocturnal habits of roaches, also shared some more interesting tidbits and told me what to look for in future and how the treatment he was using worked. He didn’t try to sell me any additional services and was very professional. He let me know if I had further concerns or issues to call him.
Great hassle free service and so reasonably priced! I hope I don’t need any more visits but I’ll know who to call if I do! Thank you Gauntlet!

Scott at Gauntlet Pest Control is the best! He comes out to our house every year to spray for ants (we live on a tree-​lined street and ants are a problem throughout our area) and I am always impressed by how much he knows about insects and the products used to treat for them – insects and insect behavior are pretty fascinating, actually.
The stuff he uses on our house (it’s a blend of botanical oils) will kill ants and many other insects, but is safe for humans and pets to be in contact with. It doesn’t smell at all and once Scott treats our home, the ants completely disappear until the next year. He also helped us identify places where they might be getting in and told us how to seal them up easily and inexpensively.
I love that I can trust Scott and the products he uses on our house – he’s the first and only person I would call for pest control. Hopefully it will always only be ants, but if ever anything major arises (a friend in Florida just had her life disrupted by a termite infestation – UGH!), I am happy to know we would be in excellent hands.
I highly recommend Scott and Gauntlet Pest Control!

I highly recommend this company to do your bed bugs! They were cheaper than others I shopped around for, worked around my evening schedule, very professional and informative… I have not seen a bed bug since!!!

Positive experience
I called Gauntlet Pest Control because of an ant problem, and they came the same day. Scott was very courteous and professional, used an eco-​friendly product which also smells nice and airs out pretty quickly. He came back for another treatment free of charge to make sure the ants were eliminated. I appreciated their very professional attitude.

Gauntlet Pest Control is very reliable and professional. He also has an eco-​friendly solution for pests. It’s a great company. Whenever, I, unfortunately, need help with insects, I call Gauntlet and they do the trick. Pests are gone!

Gauntlet Pest Control is a family-​owned and operated company serving the Chicago area that I have called on twice. Both times, Scott has been professional, courteous, and prompt. Their prices are reasonable, their work is effective, and they offer a complimentary ²⁴⁄₇ emergency service with their maintenance plan. In fact, the first time they came out, it was at around midnight, when I spotted a mouse in the kitchen. Scott is the person I have spoken and met with both times, and he is very understanding if you’re freaked out about bugs or rodents and explains Gauntlet’s plan of attack to offer some reassurance. This is a trustworthy business that offers a great value. I would recommend them to anyone.
