Reviews from Your Satisfied Neighbors

Courteous, dependable and above all, helpful… “About 4 months ago I called ProActive out to treat for ants inside my home. They got rid of the ants in short order. Since then I had some wasps in an eave above my garage. They came and took care of that too. They come out every 3 months or so and just get things done. The technician that comes to my home is very courteous, dependable and above all, helpful.”

I can’t recommend this company enough… “Anthony was at our home and he could not have been more concerned about needs. I asked several questions that took some time to answer and investigate. I learned a lot. He even scheduled a 2 week follow up to make sure we were satisfied. I can’t recommend this company enough.”

Schaumburg the City

Originally called Sarah’s Grove, because of three settlers whose wives were all named Sarah, Schaumburg was reportedly named by an eccentric German-American during a town meeting to give the village an official name. According to accounts Friedrich Heinrich Nerge, a wealthy landowner in the area enthusiastically shouted “Schaumburg wird es heißt!” which translates to “It will be called Schaumburg!” and the rest is history! Schaumburg is a county in Southern Germany, and the Illinois township has definitely been influenced by its European namesake. Schaumburg Township has flourished since its foundation with its ever abundant wildlife and fertile land. The village’s merchants and craftsmen have shaped it into the vibrant city it is today.

Schaumburg has evolved from a small rural village to a hub for consumers since 1959 when a major suburban development was begun by housing mogul Alfred Campanelli and the construction of the Woodfield Mall in 1971.

Schaumburg and the Pest Presence

The beautiful city of Schaumburg boasts not only a number of aesthetic buildings, but also many parks and wooded areas. With this perfect blend of nature and innovation, it can unfortunately mean that your home is susceptible to insect and rodent infestation. Among the most common pests that are most likely to breach the structure of a house are ants, spiders, earwigs and silverfish, but the most common pests that actually pose a health hazard are mice.

While mice may be cute and even sold in pet stores, feral mice can do structural damage to areas where they make their nest, displace and contaminate insulation, chew through electrical wires, and spread harmful bacteria throughout your home with their urine and fecal matter. Usually the first thing that lets a homeowner know that they have mice is the discovery of droppings in an inconspicuous area such as under a kitchen sink or in the corner of a basement or garage, usually in the colder months. Mouse droppings can be identified as looking like tiny pieces of black rice, and may be accompanied by a sharp, musty odor. Whether it is your first time experiencing mice, or if you have been battling a recurring infestation, we have the solution for you. With options for mouse extermination to suit your specific needs, we can deliver the peace of mind you have been searching for. Our method is to bait, exterminate and seal so that you can feel like you’ve won your home back from these unwelcome guests.

Ants are likely the single most common pest to plague the Schaumburg area. Ants can be found in almost every country on the planet, and have become masterful colony builders. Many Schaumburg residents struggle with fighting off hordes of the tiny black insects throughout every season, but most commonly during the Summertime. Ant colonies always begin outdoors, usually underground and expand by sending workers to form satellite colonies. This gradual expansion continues until one or more satellite colonies breaches the structure of a home, where they can go unnoticed within the wall voids for up to a year. By the time they are being seen inside living spaces like family rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms, it is because they have already established a large group out of sight and are looking to expand their colony.

It is this gradual take-over that classifies ants as a management or maintenance pest. In order to address the root of the issue, we must first seek out and exterminate the known satellite colonies. Our Quarterly Maintenance Plan is perfectly suited to the needs of Schaumburg residents struggling with ants, and is geared towards other maintenance pests such as spiders as well. A war is never won overnight, which is why we have formulated a treatment method that works toward winning the war against ants and other pests one battle at a time.
