East Chicago Pest Control Company handles the full range of pest problems that show up in this part of Indiana, from roach infestations in commercial kitchens to mice finding their way into rental units before the first cold snap. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business operators across the city. You're talking to someone who knows the area and the pests in it.
Call (219) 466-2356 for a quote, and we'll confirm the rate before anything is scheduled.
Whether you're dealing with an active infestation that needs immediate attention or looking to set up a prevention plan that covers the whole year, we can scope the job on the call and get you on the schedule. No pressure and no gimmicks, just effective treatment that addresses what's actually happening at your property.
Some homes need quarterly treatment. Others just need a one-time visit. The same is true on the commercial side. A warehouse dealing with a rodent problem has different needs than a restaurant managing cockroach pressure near a prep area, and a rental property with a recurring ant issue calls for a different approach than a single-family home with a wasp nest on the eave.
We handle all of it. Interior and exterior treatment for homes, apartments, and condos. Perimeter pest control for office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and storage facilities. Targeted pest removal for one-off infestations. Recurring prevention plans for properties that need consistent coverage. If you manage multiple units or run a commercial facility, we can talk through what a maintenance schedule looks like and what it covers.
The price is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. You'll know what the treatment covers and what it costs before we set a date.
Treating a home right takes the right products and a careful method, and the right approach depends on whether you're dealing with an active problem or trying to prevent one from developing.
A one-time treatment is the right call when you have a current infestation that needs to be addressed directly. We identify the pest, treat the affected areas, and follow up if the problem persists. For properties with ongoing pressure from ants, cockroaches, spiders, or seasonal invaders like boxelder bugs and Asian lady beetles, a recurring plan gives you consistent coverage without having to call every time something shows up.
Recurring plans run on a quarterly or bi-monthly schedule, depending on the property and the pest load. Each visit covers interior and exterior zones, and if something comes back between scheduled visits, we come back to treat it. The maintenance plan is what keeps pest pressure from building up over time. Between visits, you're not on your own. Reach out and we'll schedule the follow-up.
When pests take over, the problem rarely stays in one corner of the house. Treatment covers both interior zones and the full perimeter, and entry points are identified during the visit so the source of the problem gets addressed, not just the surface activity.
Ant infestations typically show up as trailing activity in kitchens, pantries, and along baseboards. Pavement ants are a common source of indoor pressure in this area, working their way in through foundation cracks and around door frames. Cockroach problems tend to concentrate in harborage areas near moisture and food sources. A treatment visit covers the active zones, targets the harborage areas, and addresses the conditions that are drawing them in.
Mice and rats follow heat and food. When temperatures drop in Lake County, they look for any gap they can use to get inside. A rodent inspection looks at entry points along the foundation, around utility penetrations, and in crawl spaces and attics. Treatment involves baiting and trapping in the active areas, and the inspection identifies where they're getting in so those points can be addressed. We'll find the source and treat it right.
Wasps and hornets build nests in eaves, soffits, ground voids, and dense shrubs. Yellowjackets are a particular problem in late summer when colonies are at peak size and foraging activity increases. A removal visit targets the nest directly and treats the surrounding area to reduce the chance of rebuilding. Timing matters with stinging insects, and we'll walk you through what the visit involves before we come out.
Spider treatment covers both interior corners and exterior entry points, where most of the activity originates. Flea infestations in carpets and upholstered furniture require thorough interior treatment and preparation before the visit. Tick treatment for yards focuses on the perimeter, ground cover, and areas where wildlife traffic is likely. Silverfish show up in humid areas like basements, bathrooms, and storage spaces. Each of these gets targeted treatment based on where the activity is concentrated.
East Chicago sits in a part of Indiana where the climate, the housing stock, and the surrounding green space create specific pest pressure that changes with the season. The three pests below come up regularly in this area, and each one calls for a different approach.
Carpenter ants don't eat wood the way termites do, but they excavate it to build galleries, and the damage adds up. In this region, they're drawn to moisture-damaged wood in sills, framing, and decking. A treatment targets the satellite colonies inside the structure as well as the parent colony, which is often located outdoors in a tree or stump nearby. We inspect for the moisture conditions that are attracting them, not just the ants themselves.
Deer ticks are the species that transmits Lyme disease, and they're present in yards and green spaces throughout Lake County. They're most active in spring and fall but can be found year-round in areas with leaf litter, tall grass, and wildlife activity. A yard treatment targets the tick habitat along property edges, wooded borders, and areas where deer or other animals are likely to travel. Entry-point sealing and exclusion pointed out, not just sprayed around.
Cluster flies move indoors in the fall, looking for a place to overwinter. They gather in attics, wall voids, and upper-floor rooms in large numbers and become active again on warm winter days, showing up at windows and light fixtures. Treatment addresses the areas where they're congregating, and a perimeter application in early fall can reduce how many make it inside before the season turns. We show up ready to treat.
You shouldn't have to chase a pest control company for answers, and pricing shouldn't be something you find out after the fact. When you call, we'll ask about the property, the pest, and what you've been seeing. From there, we give you a rate on the phone before anything is scheduled.
Pricing varies based on property size, the pest involved, and whether you're looking at a one-time treatment or an ongoing plan. A recurring quarterly plan is priced differently than a single targeted treatment, and a commercial property is scoped differently than a two-bedroom apartment. Ask what it covers and you'll get a straight answer.
There's no obligation to commit before you have the information you need. The goal is to make sure you know what you're getting and what it costs before we put anything on the calendar.
We serve East Chicago and the communities around it throughout Lake County. That includes Hammond, Whiting, Gary, Highland, Munster, and Lansing. If you're just outside the city and unsure whether we cover your address, call and ask. Prompt response, even for last-minute pest calls, is something we take seriously.
We're available every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Call during those hours and you'll reach someone who can scope the job and confirm availability.
When you call, we scope the job on the phone first. We ask about the pest, the property type, and what activity you have been seeing, then confirm the rate and what the visit covers before anything is scheduled. On the day of the visit, we inspect the interior and exterior, treat the active areas, and walk you through what was done and what to expect next.
For most interior treatments, yes, someone should be present so the technician can access the rooms and areas where activity is concentrated. If the job is limited to exterior perimeter treatment, we can discuss access arrangements when you call. We confirm what is needed before the visit.
It helps to know the type of pest you are dealing with, where you have seen activity, how long the problem has been present, and the size and type of your property. That information lets us scope the job accurately on the call and give you a rate that reflects what the visit will actually involve. You do not need to have everything figured out before you call.
Yes. When you call during our hours, 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM every day, you reach someone who can scope the job, answer questions about the service, and confirm availability. The job is scoped on the call, not guessed at after the fact.
The rate covers the inspection, the treatment of active areas, and the exterior perimeter work. We confirm exactly what is included when we quote the job on the phone, before anything is scheduled. If a follow-up visit is part of the plan, that is explained upfront as well.
The rate we give on the phone is based on the pest, the property size, and the scope of the work as described. If the situation on the ground turns out to be different from what was described, we talk through it before any additional work is done. Nothing is added after the fact without your knowledge.
Call (219) 466-2356 during our hours, 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM any day, and we confirm what is available when you call.
We ask about the pest and the property, give you a rate, and put the visit on the calendar once you have the information you need. There is no obligation to commit before you have the price and the plan in front of you.
Call us at (219) 466-2356 and we will find a time that works.
We ask that you give us as much notice as you can so we can fill the slot and keep the schedule running smoothly. Rescheduling is handled on the same phone line that booked the original visit.
Older homes in East Chicago often have more gaps around foundations, utility penetrations, and window frames than newer construction, which gives pests more ways in. We inspect for those entry points as part of the visit and point them out so they can be addressed, not just treat the visible activity. That approach reduces the chance of the same pest pressure coming back through the same gaps.
We inspect the home. We treat the problem. We seal them out.

Not every pest problem calls for the same response, and not every property needs the same schedule. The plans below lay out what each service option covers, how often we treat, and which situations each one fits best. Call us and we will match the right plan to your property before anything is scheduled.
| Treatment Plan | Recommended For | Treatment Schedule | Pests We Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-Time Treatment | Single active infestation or move-in preparation | Single visit |
| No ongoing commitment required. A follow-up visit can be added if activity continues after the initial treatment. |
| Monthly | Properties with heavy or persistent pest pressure | Every month |
| Best suited to properties where pest pressure rebuilds quickly between visits, such as food-adjacent spaces or buildings with known entry issues. |
| Bi-Monthly | Homes and rentals with moderate recurring pressure | Every two months |
| Six visits per year keep perimeter and interior pressure manageable without the intensity of a monthly schedule. |
| Quarterly | Year-round residential and commercial prevention | Every three months |
| Each visit covers a perimeter inspection, treatment of active areas, and a check on previously flagged entry points. Timed to account for seasonal pest shifts in Lake County. |
| Seasonal (Spring and Fall) | Properties with predictable seasonal invader pressure | Twice per year |
| Targeted at the two windows when overwintering invaders are most active. Spring treatment addresses what survived the winter. Fall treatment gets ahead of insects moving inside as temperatures drop. |
| Rodent Control | Homes and businesses with active or recurring rodent activity | Initial visit plus follow-up as needed |
| Treatment focuses on where rodents are active, how they are entering, and what conditions are drawing them in. Entry points are identified and noted during the inspection. |
| Commercial / High-Traffic | Restaurants, warehouses, offices, and retail spaces | Monthly or bi-monthly depending on the account |
| Scheduling is arranged around business hours to minimize disruption. The pest is identified and the treatment plan is matched to the specific demands of the space before anything is applied. |
