Jim is fantastic. He solved our ant and rodent problem!! He is friendly, efficient, knowledgeable. We are 100% satisfied all around - great service, great pricing, and most importantly effective results. Thanks so much, Jim! And Chem-wise for being awesome. I really appreciate it! If you want more info - We had ants crawling in through the floor under our back patio door. We have small kids and a small dog and are very anti-exposing them to chemicals unnecessarily. Jim put a few tiny dots of a gel underneath the round board along the wall - where the kids could not reach it - and it solved the ant problem. We had mice that were scratching in the walls and ceilings. We tried catching them ourselves for a while and it was only getting us so far. Jim placed black boxes in the crawl space, garage and basement. He came back 2 weeks later and could tell by the activity where the mice were. The black boxes have some kind of food in them that mages the mouse thirsty so it leaves the house looking for water. Afterward, he sealed up the holes we had. On the following visit, there was no mice activity in the food in the boxes. The mice, and the aggravating scratching sounds, are gone. Hooray! It's reassuring to know Chem-wise will come back at no extra cost if we have future issues. I am on their tri-annual program. They bug spray outside 3 times a year, and come back at no extra cost to address mice or ants if needed. read more

They changed there policies from what i was told thay only do a very very small portion of the interior and the exterior they hardly did anywhere that they used to do. Complaint wast of time and money . They really dont care to live up to the agreement. Tgey get you on the initial double the price charge. And then the service calls after they do hardly anything. After they got the first initial payment agreement. Do not trust!!! read more

I contacted Chem Wise in Berwyn via their website to get a quote about their exterior ant spraying services. i received an email immediately afterwards (I am assuming it was auto generated) saying that I would hear back from them by the following day. After a few days passed with not hearing back from them, I sent a follow up email to them. It has now been almost two weeks without response. The company may do their job well (which, of course, I can't confirm or deny) but their lack of response shows very poor initial customer service. read more

We've been using Chemwise for years, always been great! if something was amiss, they'd always make it right. 10/10 I would recommend!

They say they come out and they don't, they are supposed to come out three times a year, they don't leave anything stating they came, I still have bugs and I had a small mouse in my house so it seems to not be working. I tried to cancel and they told me I have to have a zero balance to cancel but they can't prove they came. Also, they sent me to collections even though I showed proof that I paid last summer. read more

Shout out to Tevin for always doing an amazing job when he comes to my studio. I appreciate the tips he gives, the thoroughness of the work and most of all his jovial attitude which is refreshing! Thanks again, Tevin from Studio 928. read more

The problem was never fully fixed, even after subscribing to their plan which in the end seemed like just a ploy for more money.

We had an issue with mice a few winters ago that Chem-Wise helped clear up. Their technicians were friendly and competent. This winter we had rats in our building and they have been dealing with the problem. Chris our technician has been very thorough in finding and sealing any entry points as well as returning to remove any trapped rats. read more

Service and quality excellent. They are very helpful on the phone. Technicians are knowledgeable.

I've been a Chem-Wise customer for the past three years. They're always reliable. Today, Grafton did a thorough treatment both indoors (unfinished areas, at my request) and outdoors as a part of my tri-annual plan. I greatly appreciated his diligence in treating the nooks and crannies, and also his friendly service especially on a rainy day. Thanks, Grafton! read more

Chem-wise has been saving my ground floor apartment from ants, spiders, and crazy critters for the last year. We call them almost once every other month to ask for help when the ants creep into the unit one way or another and it has been super easy to schedule an appointment in the next day or two. Usually, the same person will come to your home, so they'll know the situation. I've always been met with a super friendly person on the phone or in person, and they're really great about communication - will let you know if they're running late or what products they are using. And with eco-friendly products? It really doesn't get any better. read more

Over the past couple of years, Chem-wise in Berwyn has been a reliable source of help in getting rid of unwanted critters. Their senior technician Nick has an impressive knowledge of pest control and gets the job done in a friendly and efficient way. read more

Called and spoke to a really friendly woman who I explained the issue to and she even steered me away from requesting the removal service since I didn't actually know what the problem was, just that I was seeing what looked like some sort of pest droppings. She had actually recommended their free inspection. Great! At this point I'm thinking I actually found a quality business that will do a good job. She told me they would need to turn the business over to a more local facility and that I would be getting a call back from this more local facility by the next day... That was 2 weeks ago without a call. Could I call them back? Sure, but I shouldn't have to, I'll just give my business to another provider that actually knows how to follow through... after all, if I can't get them to follow through on a phone call, how can I really expect them to follow through on pest removal? Especially when they seem to be pushing return service. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE. If I could give them zero stars, I would. DO NOT schedule them! They charged me and NEVER showed up to the scheduled appointment. I'm extremely disappointed with this company. I had an appt scheduled for my parents to have beehives removed yesterday. I paid them ahead of time bc I wasn't going to be there. My parents stayed home waiting for them and no technician was ever to be seen. I called an hr after the scheduled appt and I was told the technician was running late but he for sure would make it to my parent's house. My parents waited longer and he simply never showed up. The next day the company agreed to give me a refund but it doesn't change the fact that they wasted my parent's time when they had things to do. Save yourself a headache and take your business elsewhere. read more

They were extremely responsive and helpful. They explained all of the services over the phone and were able to come out quickly. The technician who arrived was friendly and very knowledgeable. He walked through our home with us and inspected the outside. He pointed out areas of concern and was able to answer all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone. read more

They did an amazing job and very thorough we have never had any issues. Very polite came in our house and spent over 30 minutes spraying for spiders and putting traps down for mice read more

I cannot say enough great things about this company, it's management and its dedicated staff. I have been a customer since ~2016. In a condo followed by a move to a single family home, we've had to contend with springtails, spiders, carpenter ants, drain flies, silverfish, etc. We are members of the Tri-Annual plan, which covers both interior and exterior treatments. What a relief to know that my home is bug-free year-round. Chem-Wise is always willing to come out at a moments notice (and for no additional charge) for ANY unexpected bug activity. In addition to the above services, we have added the mosquito and rodent abatement plans. They send helpful reminders of upcoming services. The phone staff are friendly and knowledgable. Communication to their technicians occurs in real-time. Every technician has been wonderful, especially Josh. He listens to my concerns, explains what the approach will be, and spends time to thoroughly address the issues. I trust him implicitly. After an unexpected rain this week, Josh returned (for no additional cost) to re-treat for mosquitoes, to ensure that the property was fully protected. He always arrives promptly at the start of the scheduled appointment window and is so professional and respectful of me and my home. This company and its employees go above and beyond to provide the highest level of customer service. They are a model for how all businesses should be run. Kindness, skill, professionalism and competitive pricing should make you look no further! read more

Chem-wise has done an incredible job reducing and eliminating our rodent and bug concern throughout this year. Paul specifically has been to our house a few times and has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I'm someone that likes to watch while the techs work so I can see where we are having issues and keep an eye out in that area and Paul is so patient with me hovering over him working! They're great at communicating and keeping up with our services as well. VERY refreshing and I would recommend them to anyone who has some unwanted visitors! read more

I have been working with this company for several years now and i am super happy with them. I get the three times a year service which means they come out there times a year and spray outside (and inside if needed) and do preventive work based on the season and the types of pests. The nice thing about them is the continuity of service because same person is assigned to the area and services your home. I really like this because they know what's been problematic in the past etc. Rob is our regular guy and he is really thorough. I had some pest problems over the winter and he really did a tremendous job. I have used other pest control people in the past and they were disappointing. read more

I really appreciate Alex coming out and helping us with our bee situation .He was very knowledgeable about the situation of getting rid of the bees. I thank him for his patience with me and all my bee questions ,i will use Chem-Wise for any pest control needs. read more

They've been helping take care of our house for more than a year and I couldn't be happier with their service. Ryan, the technician that almost always services our house, does such a great job. He's thorough, helps find solutions and is very polite! read more

I am writing to update my last review. The Service Manager called and listened to my complaint and was very cordial. We established a plan that they would not schedule treatments without confirming availability. They are giving a credit for the disputed service to future charges and I will continue to use them. read more

Chem-Wise did a great job with our ant problem. The technician was Jaime who was attentive and very helpful on the overall process.

I have a mice problem. I made an appointment with Chem-Wise and the technician Josh came out today to start working on the problem. Josh was so knowledgeable and personable. My problem with mice is still being resolved, but Josh was great. read more

I switched to Chem-Wise after a year of incredibly unsatisfactory and frustrating service with a different big-name pest company (Who not only would charge me when they didn't perform a service, but who also said, "Oh, you have a mouse problem? There's not really anything we can do...Just live with them!"). I have had Chem-Wise for six months now and am continually impressed and amazed by their customer service! Not only did their knowledgeable service techs initially examine and bait to figure out where the mice were getting in (we had to pull up some deck boards to get to the house foundation underneath the deck), but once we uncovered the area they came and filled all of the gaps with steel wool and spray foam. Service techs have since come more than once a month (included in yearly plan, no extra charge) to check the traps to ensure there was decreasing activity AND we have been mouse free for over a month now!! I cannot say enough good things about this company and the guys who service our area. I didn't realize they also did mosquito treatments for the yard, and will be switching to them for this service as well. This is a quality company who provides excellent service, and they have my business for life! read more

I had a problem with ants destroying my patio. I hired Chem-Wise. They said their treatment would last 90 days, and they talked me into treating the whole area around my house. Front yard, back yard, two side yards and patio. They guaranteed their service for 90 days. In less than 3 weeks the ants were back. They came out again, and sprayed just the patio. Ants were back in less than 4 days. I disputed the charges on my credit card which they are contesting. They want to come out and continually spray poison until they are gone. They said they told me they don't guarantee it would totally get rid of the ants. They NEVER told me that, which conflicts with their 90 guarantee. I do not want any more poison sprayed around my house, I have pets and asthma. Their first service should have worked. I went to Home Depot and found a non-toxic product that I have used with success. They talked me into treating EVERY bit of grass on my property, because ants can travel long distances, well it was just a scam. They simply need to leave the credit in place and get on with their business. read more

Excellent Service! We live in Grayslake with beautiful prairie surrounding us and a cedar framed house. In every season, nature wants to come into our home - whether it's mice, carpenter ants, wasps. We chose ChemWise because of the Ecological, Environmentally friendly products used. We have a dog and didn't want him ingesting chemicals or dead mice. Have been using ChemWise for years & get their 3 season preventative applications. Very reasonable price and professional technicians will return to your home until your infestation problem is solved. Technicians will travel to Northern Lake County. read more

I am very satisfied with Chem wise. All the technicians seem to be very friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and do go above and beyond to try and resolve issues quickly and efficiently. read more

I have been using ChemWise for years. They are responsive and have great service. They have been very thoughtful with their chemical applications and escalated treatment as appropriate. read more

I love these guys! EJ and Luke know their stuff. Friendly. Professional. Eco-friendly. I had an invasion of ants, so Chemwise came out and safely treated the house. They were completely gone in one day. When a new hatching appeared 10 days later, they promptly came out to take care of the situation. Sign-up for the annual plan.....best bang for your buck! read more

I just wanted to say that Rico, the service representative, did an awesome job explaining to me the kind of problem that I had (springtail infestation) and he reassured my fears that it wasn't a roach problem. Rico was very professional, polite and he is a great role model for customer service! Thank you, John H Aurora read more

The only reason ChemWise is getting 2 stars is because we had a problem with mice 3 years ago and they were able to help us with that issue. The 2nd time we have had mice, we are 45 days in an still have a problem. They have been out numerous times and the only person that has seemed remotely experienced was the manager, Luke, that came out after I complained about their services. They have literally been to my house 3-4 times and the mice issue continues. I brought in another highly recommended company today and he was more thorough in his checking of the premises in ONE HOUR of his visit, then the Chemwise folks have been in the several visits they have made here. The lesson here is that many years of experience is key, and the Chemwise team doesn't have it. I was initially drawn to them bc they were poison free, but the weight of having some poison in my house vs mice running through my living areas during the day for over a month (with a toddler, no less) was much better in the end. read more

Jaime was professional, very polite, friendly and informative!

Just had my first service fone today and I already spotted some dead ants. The technician was very friendly and so were the staff on the phone. read more

I had sugar ants coming out of my cabinets in my new house. I was told the only time they could come out to treat was around 10 a.m. I was at work during those hours so I stupidly agreed to allow them access to my house. Dave, the owner, explained that the outside would be sprayed and that the inside would be treated as well. When I arrived home at 11 a.m. I noticed that the outside was dry and there were muddy footprints all over my brand new carpet. Worse, my neighbor stated that the worker was only there for maybe 20 minutes and I spent nearly $200 for this!!!!? When I called the office, it seemed like no one cared about customer service at all. Save your money and shop online for pesticides, DO NOT HIRE THIS SCAM ARTIST !!!!!!!! read more

Had mice. Called Chem-wise PEST CONTROL. STILL have mice!!! Employee didn't seem very knowledgeable but was very nice and personable. He explained that he was going to use bait and then come back in two weeks to plug up the holes. One month later he finally came out, but was there for only 10 minutes or so. I still have a problem with mice, but the manager there doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. I found the hole myself and plugged it . Call Anderson pest control. My neighbor uses them and has nothing but good things to say about them. read more
