Hunter from CLAE came for the initial visit. He was nice & polite. He was very knowledgeable about insects and I jokingly told him that he should get a PhD in entomology. He explained in detail on the treatment of the few issues we were experiencing. We were very satisfied with this initial visit.
Great job, has mastery to work in the field of pest control. We are very happy to find right people. They are expert and friendly, as well. Thank you.
Clae Pest Control is a good company! The service is always great! They are punctual on the days they service. Oscar is good about educating me on the spray needed to keep pest away.
Hunter came out, went over everything that he's gonna do together. It was amazing. He knew more than I could ever imagine.
Robbie was great! He was very detailed and explained to me all the insects that he saw in my home. Although I told him it’s way less since I started the service. I’m very pleased with Clae Pest Control!
He did a great job! Always very nice with ours cats and explains everything he will be doing.
Robby is friendly, well versed and his knowledge is exemplary. From assessment, transparency, to performing his service, He's the consummate professional.
Clae pest control has been great since we started with them. They are very responsive and very customer friendly! Could not be happier with their service and customer service!
Flo did a great job, he explained what he was spraying and which bugs it will control as well as seeding the grass areas. Thanks
Robbie has always done a great job, make sure everything is sprayed, looks at everything and pays attention to the customer needs. Very professional and will educate you if you need to know anything. I always ask for Robbie when they come to spray at the house and outside. Again, Robbie does his due diligent and never rushes. Humza R
Working with Clae Pest Control has been great so far! The representative, Sam, who came to my door provided great information with no pressure. I also appreciated the tech, Lucas, and his trainee. They were very informative and professional. I’m new to pest control, but their prices seem very reasonable to me. I’m very happy to have found Clae Pest Control
Just moved to the North Shore area and rep named Blake stopped by our house to introduce himself and mentioned some of our neighbors had informed him we had just moved in. He was super polite and offered their services without being pushy or too “sales-y.” After looking up the company online and seeing the positive…
Bought a new home and signed up for Ckae Pest Control. We have not had any problems with any bugs this entire summer. They are always on time and very courteous
I chose Clae Pest Control because of their complete services they offer. You don't have to pick and choose a lot of add ons, just one and done for the most part! Great customer service too.
The technician Hunter was very knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything in great detail and walked me through the indoor/outdoor process
We've had Clae Pest Control service our house once with one extra follow-up so far. Both visits were thorough and helped us understand pest prevention more. On the most recent visit, Jeremy was knowledgeable and friendly while listening to any concerns. We are confident with the services provided. 1 year follow-up…
Great service and professional employees! Service helped our issues 100% and the company has been very responsive to any questions!
The guy was very polite and did his job well that’s all I’m looking for and I didn’t feel like I was getting taken for a ride thank you again for the work
Great Service. Technicians came out on time. Courteous and professional. Highly recommended
Very knowledgeable and complete.Thank you!
Christian was awesome. He was professional & extremely knowledgeable about the environment of my home.
Today was our initial service and we had Patrick and he was awesome!!! He explained everything he was going to do today and told me when he was done as well and what precautions to take afterwards. I highly recommend Clae Pest Control.
Clae Pest Control did a nice job explaining their services and finding a plan that best met our needs. The technician took the time to review areas of concern and tailored the approach accordingly. We’ve had two services and they were professional and prompt. Glad we went with them.
Great team, Blake is super responsive with requests and the team is very attentive and respective of our home! Would highly recommend!
Ezekiel was very professional explained what was to be done.
Deceptive sales tactics. I was solicited at my door by a salesman who claimed to have worked for the previous owner, but that turned out to not be true. The actual service is suspect too. They charge $200 for about 10 minutes of actual work. They also constantly cancel and reschedule appointments. DO NOT USE THEM
Just bought a home. The services covered pests inside and outside the house. Friendly technician. Military and first responder discount available.
The technician was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and friendly, and explained everything to be done. Was even super friendly with my dogs. It was a very positive experience.
The company has been very prompt Communication has been excellent with the company and the people that come out to do the job.
The technician was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain how to identify and reduce spider and other insect activity around my apartment. I appreciated the helpful information and would gladly recommend this technician again.
Sales and technician guys were fine, time will tell if the service removed the spiders from inside and outside home. So 5 stars up to this point.
Never say never… I hadn’t heard of Clae yet, but I knew in the back of my mind that we had a need. I met Sam for the first time, and he clearly articulated the costs and benefits of their services. Later that day I met Daniel, who was nice, professional, and efficient. Finally, when I needed to update our method of…
The tech was very professional, he explained everything he was going to do.
We called and they sent Folarin out to our home and he was wonderful! He explained everything each step of the way, he was so thorough and I appreciated him taking his time and making sure he didn’t miss any areas! 10/10 recommend, thank you so much!!!
Joon was amazing. He educated me on the what could be done to limit the spiders and ants inside and out. Definitely recommend Clae Pest Services!
Great attitude and diligence in getting the job done. Appreciate the good work!
Can you serve commercial buildings as well as residential units?
Lucas was thorough and professional. Happy with the service!
Very nice, helpful and informative!
Very professional, friendly, educational. Respectful of the space and our family.
Good service, nice staff. They always call ahead when they’re on the way. I recommend their services for pest control.
Steven arrived on time and was very friendly and through. He helped clean up the cow webs and was careful inside and outside the home.
All I can say is fantastic! A very thorough job was performed on my home. Very pleased with the company and I recommend their services.
Flo was amazing. He was very professional and explained everything he was doing. He even had me point out anything that he may have missed and doubled back just to make me happy. I highly recommend them.
We've been using clae Pest Control for over a year and we absolutely love them they're very professional and very thorough when they come to our house.
Great family owned business with good people. Daniel stopped and is very knowledgeable and trust worthy. Would recommend to any in Chicago suburbs.
The gentleman who came was very professional and explained all the chemicals he was using to get rid of the ants. He explained the process and how the product works. After he left I got an email explaining all of the chemicals and the work he had done. This was very thorough. I was very pleased.
Excellent customer service! Thank you Clay for taking the time to discuss my concerns with me.
Had great experience conversing with Chandler and the gentleman that came to do the service. I apologize the name escapes my mind, but a delightful gentleman for sure.
Good company
Lucas was great, got us taken care of quickly but expertly. Very friendly and efficient service. Answed all questions we had, and look forward to seeing him again.
The field technician did a great job at my house. He was pleasant and professional with me. Thank you.
Rob and Trey were very thorough in explaining how their work works. Quick answer and easy to reach
Justin came to our door yesterday and wasn’t your typical salesman. He was extremely polite, very knowledgeable, provided references to existing customers on our street, and his pricing was fair for the services offered. We signed the same day and they performed their services - very thoroughly - the same day. I am…
Great professional service.
Highly recommended. Trey was amazing and not pushy when offering the services. He didn’t try to push additional fees and was upfront and honest. Robby came out and did an amazing job. Very informative and friendly. They also guarantee their services. Will be recommending this company to others. 10 stars!
Clae is a excellent pest control company.
I highly recommend Clae Pest Control. Everyone is so nice and they do great work. Since they’ve started, we’ve had very few bugs and any that do show up are very quickly gone.
Service technician was great - super flexible with work from home schedule here so much appreciated.
Clae Pest Control’s service has been worth every penny. Their technicians are always on time and usually available the same or next day when I’ve had an issue. When I’ve had an issue between quarterly service visits (wasp nest, rodents, etc), they’ve come back to resolve it free of charge to me.
Wonderful people. Low prices. They came back for a 4th time. Great guy Mr Oscar. I will keep the service as long as he is our technician. Thanks again! Jamie Kowalski 3/7/2026
This my 1st time using Clae Pest control, and we're very happy with their work, they are very profesional they have sent different technicians thru-out the year and they were all very courteous, they are highly recommended. Luis Ortega
Adrian is the best!
Adrian treated for any indoor pests and also did a complete evaluation of the exterior, including removal of any spider webs along the eaves. He was polite, professional, and great with my dogs!
Very professional, clear communication. I like that they give you a report afterwards telling you exactly what they did.
Professional and job well excedone!
I appreciate the professionalism of the technicians that have come out to our house. We’ve seen a drastic reduction in the number of ants since we moved in.
The technician was one time and thorough. Definitely recommend!
The guys were very nice, professional and knowledgeable and every time I needed to get in touch with somebody they responded very quickly!
It's below zero outside and my guy is prompt showing up & making sure there's no pests or rodents! He's always very thorough and a really nice guy. He actually saw an opening where mice could get in and plugged it up! Thank you!! I'm sticking with Clae Pest Control. Going on 3 years now & haven't had one issue. 5 ⭐ for sure!! 👍💯🚫🦟🐜🐁 🐀🚫
We had an issue pop up between routine appointments and Jeremy came to re-service our home. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. We greatly appreciate the quick visit and support!
We recommend Clae because Oscar treated all our pestky areas quick and diligently, he was cordial and took care of all the areas of concern and I feel like those spiders will not return this winter anymore around the house!
Jeremy was our Tech for this service. He texted us when he was on his way and he arrived on time. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He was very concerned about any issues we had and addressed them appropriately. He texted us when he was done and informed us of his findings. Good job.
Oscar has grown on our family as one of our own family members. He is very thorough and explains what the services are and how they help with mitigating issues. Always reliable and friendly.
Timely response and very professional and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Clae does a great job of keeping pests out of my house. They spray inside and out. I used to see spiders in the house sometimes but not anymore.
Just had our first service visit with Clae today and nothing but a good feeling. Lucas specifically was great! He patiently explained the series of services for the year, the type of product he was using, method for defending against a variety of insects we may see, and he detailed anticipated expectations of Clae's…
Very dedicated company!
We had bad wasp and carpenter bees infesting eves and overhangs. After 1 treatment all were gone and never returned. Just got my 3rd treatment and Lucas (the tech) also informed me that this is the time of year for rodents and placed a bait trap out just incase. I have cats that hunt so don't have much issues but, a…
Robert is always detail and thorough in his work. Clae is overall reliable and I trust them to do a great job every time! Augustas is also great at providing services. He was very thorough in his dewebbing and spraying. I just hope they offer Mosquito Services in the near future to be the complete package.
Great service, very reliable, on time! Treatment worked within few days of the visit !
We have been clients for a year just after moving into our new house. The quarterly services were just what we needed. Technicians were timely, kind and knowledgeable. Any time we needed assistance or a follow up, they were at the ready.
They have provided service through and through as well as helped me deal with an emergency rodent problem last year. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great customer service fast, professional, and very thorough. They explained everything clearly, and arrived on time. Pricing was great and I felt confident the job was done right. Highly recommend Clae Pest Control!
Five Stars. No complaints. Scheduling was easy. Service was quick and efficient. Lucas was in and out, answered all of my questions/concerns, and was professional throughout.
I am extremely happy with the service I receive from Clae Pest Control. The technicians are very professional, thorough, and friendly.

I highly recommend them.
These guys are great! They always check-in with us before conducting the service to see if we need anything extra and/or whether their previous services have helped (which they have). They are friendly and trustworthy which is greatly appreciated! Very satisfied!
Clae pest control sent out a representative who inspected around our home and took care of the issues he found. He was on time, pleasant, and took the time to answer all my questions.
Clae pest control does a great job. I live more out in the country where there are inspects everywhere. They have had to come almost every month to get the insects under control since we bought a house that was empty for 3 years prior to us moving in. Highly recommend Clae Pest control for your residential needs!
The tech that serviced my house was very knowledgeable and friendly, he explained everything he was doing and made sure I understood all the procedures and caution's
Robbie was very nice and polite. He was having a busy day and texted to say he would be later than scheduled. Then he texted that he was able to rearrange another appointment to get here earlier. He was careful with our home, and worked quickly. I like the idea of ongoing treatments throughout the year. Reasonable prices, too.
Lucas was very polite, accommodating, and thorough. He addressed additional issues found while treating the outside of our home. Very pleased with his service.
Darrell provided my service on Tuesday. He did what he said he would do & also took the time to point out areas on the exterior of the house where rodents or pests could enter. He offered ideas on some DIY tips to prevent infestations in those areas.
Robby at Clae is great! He is quick and efficient and we notice a drop in critters and bugs shortly after their applications. Pet friendly too!
Clae Peat control comes highly recommended. Robby is very professional and knowledgeable about all the little critters we have around the area, what to look for and taking care of the issues. He’s always very polite and gets the job done! Good job guys!
This company came as recommendation from a plumber I was using on a new house I bought. The people working for the company are so friendly that the plumber spotted one of them at another house and called them over to introduce them. I got a card and followed up a couple days later. The owners take pride in doing the…

I had the please of having Oscar Perez come service our property. He and his team were extremely professional, educated, and punctual.

Professional salesman that highlighted what was included in package, had the technician that was with the salesman start on my property right away instead of having it done at a later date. They both did a check of my house and showed me areas of importance and quickly took care of the situation. Usually i don't go…
I love there business there are the best they arrive quick and they do really go on business
I have used other pest companies in the past and none have been able to do what Clae has done. Also they are the most friendly and professional company I have ever dealt with. There Technician Robert is outstanding with his knowledge and expertise to guide you through the whole extermination process. Thank you again Clae pest control.
Technician Robbie came on time he explained everything he was going to do after the walk-through. After he was done he explained everything and educated us on what to expect and when our next follow up is. Highly recommend, great communication and great price as I shopped around for quotes.
