License: Held by the contractor and issued in Illinois. Ask which name it is held under — a trading name and the licensed entity are often not the same.
Price: What the pest is, what the treatment involves, how many visits it takes and what it costs — explained before any work begins.
The call: Describing what you found commits you to nothing. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Coverage: By town, not by region. Kempton and the towns around it.

Where they get in around Kempton

Most of Kempton went up before 1950, and houses of that age fail in the same few places. A The water line where it comes through the foundation wall. B A porch or a step that has settled away from the house. C The sill plate where old framing meets stone or block.

Those openings are small, which is why they get missed: a mouse needs about a quarter of an inch, and an ant needs far less. A technician starts there rather than at the baseboards, because spraying where you saw it does nothing about the way in.

What to say when you call

→What it looked like and which room it was in. A trail along a counter and a single insect in a bathroom point at different things.
→How long it has been going on, and whether it is spreading.
→Whether the skirting comes off, and how much clearance there is underneath.
→What the ground around the house looks like — mulch, firewood, an irrigation line that runs wet. That is where the outside inspection starts.
→Your address, so the call goes to a technician covering Ford County.

What happens after the call

You say what you have seen and where in the home it turned up. That is usually enough to narrow it down on the phone.

A technician then inspects the property — inside, around the outside, and in the crawl space or attic where the sign usually starts. Identification comes before treatment, and the treatment is quoted before it begins.
