All Gone Pest Control has been keeping homes and businesses in East Chicago pest-free since 2007. For nearly two decades, we have served homeowners, renters, landlords, property managers, and commercial accounts across East Chicago and Lake County, Indiana. Whether you need a single targeted treatment or a year-round prevention plan, we show up, we treat the problem, and we follow through.
We're your neighbors, and your home's protection is personal to us.
We are locally owned and operated pest control, and that means the person who answers your call knows this area, knows the pests that pressure it, and can schedule service on your timeline. Our two core service paths are recurring prevention plans for properties that need consistent protection and one-time treatments for isolated infestations that just need to be handled.
Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Pest-free results.
We treat homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it. Our service covers the full range of common pests found across Lake County: ants, cockroaches, spiders, mice and rats, wasps and hornets, fleas, ticks, silverfish, house centipedes, and seasonal invaders like boxelder bugs and Asian lady beetles that push inside when temperatures drop.
Every treatment starts with an entry-point inspection. We look at where pests are getting in, where they are harborage, and what conditions are making the property attractive to them. From there we apply a perimeter barrier treatment around the foundation and exterior of the structure, then move inside for targeted interior pest treatment in the areas where activity is concentrated.
Work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who follow integrated pest management principles. That means we treat what is present, reduce conditions that invite reinfestation, and use the right product in the right place rather than blanket-spraying and hoping for the best. Call and we'll get the problem under control.
Scheduling pest control shouldn't be complicated. Some infestations call for a single targeted visit. A wasp nest that appeared overnight, a cluster fly problem in the attic, or a one-time rodent issue after a neighboring property was renovated, these situations often resolve with one well-executed treatment and a follow-up check.
Other properties need more. Older homes in East Chicago with aging foundations, crawl spaces, and wood-frame construction tend to see recurring pressure from ants, cockroaches, and rodents throughout the year. For those, a pest control maintenance plan makes more sense than reacting to each new problem individually.
We offer quarterly and bi-monthly scheduling options. Both include perimeter barrier applications, interior spot treatments as needed, and re-treatment coverage if pests return between scheduled visits. We build the plan around your property, your pest history, and your budget. We'll treat the problem and clean up after.
Our customers call us back because we keep pests away, and that starts with treating the whole property, not just the room where you spotted something. Whole-home pest control means we look at the kitchen, the basement, the garage, the crawl space, and the attic, anywhere pests can enter, nest, or travel through undetected.
We work with homeowners, apartment renters, landlords, and property managers throughout East Chicago and the surrounding area. Rental property pest control is a regular part of our schedule. We handle move-in inspections for new tenants, respond to active infestations between tenancies, and set up recurring service accounts for multi-unit buildings.
We offer pet-safe and family-safe treatment options. If you have children, pets, or household members with sensitivities, let us know when you call and we will select products and application methods that are appropriate for your situation.
We also provide prompt response, even for last-minute pest calls. If you have an urgent situation, call us and we will tell you honestly what we can do and when we can get there. Call and we'll handle the ants, roaches, and rodents.
You shouldn't have to chase a pest control company for answers, especially when your business depends on a clean, pest-free environment. We provide commercial pest control for restaurants, warehouses, offices, retail spaces, and property management accounts across East Chicago and Lake County.
For food-service clients, pantry and stored-product pest control is a critical part of the service. Cockroaches, flies, and rodents are the most common threats in commercial kitchens and storage areas, and a single inspection failure can have real consequences. We schedule service around your operating hours, treat discreetly, and document visits for your records.
For warehouses and commercial properties, we focus on moisture and harborage reduction alongside active treatment. Stink bugs, western conifer seed bugs, and pavement ants are common nuisance pests in commercial buildings during seasonal transitions. We address those as part of the broader service rather than treating them as separate problems.
Scheduled service contracts keep your property on a consistent treatment calendar so pest pressure never builds to the point of disruption.
Lake County's climate brings cold winters, humid summers, and significant seasonal pest pressure at both ends of the year. The region's mix of older residential neighborhoods, wooded corridors, and industrial and commercial properties creates conditions where specific pests thrive. Here is how we handle the three that generate the most calls in this area.
Carpenter ants are one of the most common structural pest problems we see in East Chicago. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood, but they excavate galleries inside it to nest, and the damage they cause over time is significant. Older wood-frame homes in the area are especially vulnerable, particularly where moisture has softened wood around window frames, rooflines, or crawl space beams.
Treatment involves locating active galleries, treating wall voids and entry points with targeted product, and applying an exterior perimeter spray to cut off foraging trails. Spring through summer is the peak activity window, and early intervention keeps a small colony from becoming a structural problem.
Deer ticks are a genuine health concern in Lake County. They carry Lyme disease, and the region's wooded edges, tall grass, and yard borders along parks and greenways provide ideal habitat. Ticks are active from early spring through late fall, with peak activity in spring and early summer.
Our approach targets the yard perimeter and transition zones where ticks concentrate. We apply a targeted yard treatment along wooded edges, fence lines, and ground-level vegetation, then schedule follow-up visits to maintain coverage through the active season. If you have children or pets spending time in the yard, consistent tick control is worth prioritizing.
Cluster flies are a nuisance pest that shows up reliably in East Chicago homes every fall. They spend the summer outdoors, then seek overwintering sites inside attics and wall voids as temperatures drop. On warm winter days they become active again and find their way into living spaces, which is when most homeowners first realize they have a problem.
They are not a sanitation pest. They do not breed indoors or contaminate food. But large numbers in an attic or wall void are unpleasant and difficult to remove without treatment. We handle cluster flies with interior void treatment to address existing populations and an exterior perimeter application before the fall entry season to reduce the number that get in to begin with.
Some homes need quarterly treatment. Others just need a one-time visit. Pricing depends on property size, pest type, and how often you want service, so the best way to get an accurate number is to call and describe what you are dealing with.
We will ask a few straightforward questions and give you a clear estimate before any work begins. There are no surprises on the invoice. We also offer same-day pest control when availability allows, and we do our best to accommodate urgent pest calls quickly.
To request an estimate or schedule an inspection, call (219) 466-2356.
We serve East Chicago and travel throughout Lake County and the surrounding Indiana metro area. Communities we regularly service include:
If you are in a nearby town and are not sure whether we cover your area, call and ask. We are willing to travel to serve customers throughout the region, and most requests within Lake County are no problem.
It is normal to see some pest activity in the days immediately following a treatment. Products applied to surfaces take time to work, and pests that were already active may be more visible before they are eliminated. If you are still seeing significant activity after a week, call us and we will assess whether a follow-up visit is needed.
If pests return between your scheduled visits on a recurring prevention plan, we will come back and treat the property at no additional charge. That coverage is part of what makes a maintenance plan a better value than reacting to each new problem individually. Call (219) 466-2356 and we will get a technician back out promptly.
A pest emergency is any situation where an active infestation poses an immediate concern, such as a wasp nest near a doorway, a rodent sighting in a commercial kitchen before an inspection, or a large interior insect infestation in a rental unit between tenancies. We offer prompt response, even for last-minute pest calls, and same-day service is available when the schedule allows. Call (219) 466-2356 and describe what you are dealing with.
The wait time depends on the products applied and the areas treated. Your technician will give you specific guidance before leaving. Interior treatments in living spaces typically require you to stay out until surfaces are dry, which is usually an hour or two. We will let you know if any area needs a longer wait.
We treat the perimeter of the structure, including the foundation, exterior entry points, window frames, door thresholds, and any gaps or cracks where pests can enter. This barrier is designed to intercept pests before they get inside and to reduce foraging activity along the exterior. It is a standard part of every service visit, one-time or recurring.
Keep pets out of treated areas until surfaces are fully dry. For interior treatments, that typically means keeping them out of the room for an hour or two after application. For exterior treatments, keep pets off treated surfaces until they are dry to the touch. Your technician will point out any areas that need extra caution before leaving.
Sealing gaps around pipes, doors, and windows removes the entry points pests rely on. Reducing moisture in basements and crawl spaces makes those areas less attractive for silverfish, house centipedes, and carpenter ants. Keeping food stored in sealed containers and eliminating clutter in storage areas takes away the harborage and food sources that draw cockroaches and rodents. These steps work alongside professional treatment to reduce how often pests come back.
Indiana's pest activity follows predictable seasonal patterns. Spring brings carpenter ants and pavement ants out of overwintering. Summer is peak season for wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets. Fall is when rodents, cluster flies, stink bugs, and boxelder bugs start pushing inside. A quarterly or bi-monthly prevention plan is timed to address these shifts, with exterior barrier applications refreshed before each high-pressure season.
Store-bought products can knock back small, isolated pest activity, but they rarely address the source of the problem. If you are seeing recurring activity, large numbers of pests, or signs of nesting inside walls or structural wood, a professional inspection and targeted treatment will be more effective and more lasting. We use products and application methods that are not available over the counter, applied by licensed pest control technicians who know where and how to use them.
For fleas, we treat interior areas where pets spend time, including carpets, baseboards, and furniture edges, along with exterior zones where pets rest or roam. For deer ticks, which are a genuine health concern in Lake County, we focus on the yard perimeter, wooded edges, fence lines, and ground-level vegetation where ticks concentrate. Recurring seasonal treatment from spring through fall gives the best protection during the months when tick exposure is highest.
Frequent web-building in corners, along baseboards, in the garage, and around exterior lighting is the most common sign. A noticeable increase in spider sightings indoors, especially in basements and crawl spaces, can also indicate a larger population than normal. Regular perimeter pest control reduces spider populations significantly by eliminating the insects they feed on as well as treating harborage areas directly.

How does a recurring prevention plan work?
When you sign up for a recurring plan, we schedule visits at your chosen frequency, whether that is monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. Each visit includes an exterior barrier treatment and any interior work needed based on what we find. Between visits, if pest activity picks up, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge. You are not locked into a long-term contract.
What is the difference between a one-time treatment and a prevention plan?
A one-time treatment is the right call for a specific, contained infestation you want resolved quickly. A prevention plan works better for properties with a history of pest activity or ongoing pressure, because it keeps exterior barriers fresh and catches new problems before they become infestations. We will tell you honestly which one fits your situation.
Are treatments safe for children and pets?
We use pet-safe and family-safe treatment options wherever possible. Before we apply anything, we will tell you exactly what we are using and why. We will also let you know if you need to stay out of any treated area for a period of time after the visit.
Same-Day Availability
We take urgent pest calls seriously. When you call, we check the schedule and do our best to get a technician to your property the same day, especially when the problem cannot wait.
Do I need to leave my home during or after a treatment?
In most cases you do not need to leave. We will let you know during scheduling if your specific treatment requires any temporary precautions, such as staying out of a treated room until it dries. If you have young children or pets, we are happy to walk you through what to expect before we begin.
How should I prepare before a technician arrives?
It helps to clear access to the areas we will be treating, including under sinks, along baseboards, in the basement, and anywhere you have seen pest activity. The more access we have, the more thorough the treatment can be. We will let you know if there is anything specific to prepare when you schedule.
What pests does a general treatment cover?
A standard treatment covers the common pests active in East Chicago and Lake County, including ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, house centipedes, flies, and occasional invaders like cluster flies, boxelder bugs, and brown marmorated stink bugs. Rodents, wasps and hornets, carpenter ants, and deer ticks are handled as part of targeted or specialized plans.
Work Performed by Licensed Technicians
Every treatment is carried out by licensed pest control technicians who know the pest pressures specific to East Chicago and Lake County.
What should I do about an active wasp or hornet nest?
Do not disturb the nest before we arrive. Wasps and hornets are aggressive when the nest is threatened, and a disturbed colony is harder to treat safely. Call us and we will get out to your property quickly. Same-day availability applies to stinging insect calls, and we handle nests in eaves, wall voids, underground, and around structures.
Why do pests sometimes come back after a treatment?
A single treatment addresses the pests present at the time of the visit, but new pressure from outside the property can develop between visits. Exterior barriers break down over time, especially after heavy rain. Recurring plans are designed around this reality, keeping the barrier fresh and scheduling re-treatments when activity picks up between visits.
No Long-Term Contracts on Recurring Plans
Our recurring prevention plans come without a long-term commitment. We keep your business by doing the job right, not by making it hard to leave.
How does the season affect pest pressure in Lake County?
Pest activity shifts throughout the year here. Spring brings carpenter ants, pavement ants, and the first wave of cockroach activity. Summer is peak season for wasps, hornets, and deer ticks. Fall triggers the cluster fly and stink bug invasion as pests look for overwintering sites. Winter pushes mice and rats indoors. Quarterly plans are built with these shifts in mind so treatments match what is actually active.
Is there a long-term contract for recurring service?
No. We do not require a long-term contract for recurring prevention plans. You can adjust your schedule or cancel if your situation changes. Our goal is to keep earning your business by doing good work, not by locking you in.
How does a technician decide on the right treatment plan?
Every visit starts with an entry-point inspection. We look at where pests are getting in, where they are nesting, and what conditions are drawing them to the property. From there we recommend the treatment and schedule that fits what we find. We will explain our reasoning before any work begins so you know exactly what you are getting.
Call (219) 466-2356 and we will walk you through the plan options, give you a clear quote, and get you on the schedule.
