Our Story
Four decades of protecting Illinois homes and businesses
Dependable Pest Control opened its doors in Crete, Illinois in 1980 with a simple promise: show up when we say we will, explain the problem honestly, and fix it so it stays fixed.
Our licensed technicians inspect first, match the treatment to the pest and the structure, and choose the lowest-risk products that get the job done safely around kids and pets — from termites and rodents to mosquitoes and bed bugs.
We focus on prevention, not just treatment. Sealing entry points and correcting moisture costs far less than repeated emergency calls — which is why so many Illinois families have stayed with us for decades.

Not sure what’s in your home? Here’s a quick way to identify the most common Illinois pests before you call.
Termites
Look for mud tubes along foundation walls and wood that sounds hollow when tapped.

Rodents
Droppings, gnaw marks, and greasy rub marks along baseboards are the telltale signs.

Mosquitoes
Most active at dawn and dusk; they breed in any standing water, even a bottle cap's worth.

Bed Bugs
Reddish-brown and apple-seed sized — look for rust-colored spots along mattress seams.

Visible trails near food or moisture; some species grow wings during swarming season.

Papery, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves or in trees, with visible flying activity.

Termite inspection was thorough and honest — they didn't try to upsell us on anything we didn't need. Really appreciated the straightforward pricing.

Called about a wasp nest right by our front door and someone was out the same day. Friendly, quick, and reasonably priced.
FAQs
How much does pest control cost in Illinois?
Most treatments run between $100 and $400, depending on the pest and how bad the infestation is. We give free phone estimates upfront, so you know the price before we ever show up — no surprise fees, no pressure to add services you don't need.
How do I know if a pest control company near me is trustworthy?
Look for a company that's licensed, insured, and has real local reviews — not just a call center number. Dependable Pest Control has served Illinois families since 1980, and every technician is licensed and background-checked before they set foot on your property.
What pests does Dependable Pest Control treat?
We handle the pests Illinois homeowners deal with most: termites, rodents, mosquitoes, bed bugs, ants, wasps, carpenter bees, and yellow jackets — for both residential and commercial properties.
How fast can someone come out for an emergency pest problem?
Same-day and next-day appointments are available across most of the areas we serve, including Chicago, Rockford, Peoria, Springfield, and Belleville. For urgent situations like an active wasp nest, call us and we'll get someone out as quickly as we can.
Is pest control treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use the lowest-risk products that still get the job done, and our technicians will tell you exactly what was applied and where — so you can plan around nap time, playtime, or when the dog needs to go back outside.
Will pests come back after treatment?
It depends on the pest and the entry points around your home. That's why we focus on prevention, not just a one-time spray — sealing gaps, addressing moisture, and offering follow-up visits so the problem doesn't just show up again a few weeks later.
