The Village of Niles is rich with a history
of family owned and operated business-
es and Smithereen Pest Management
Services is a perfect example of just
that. Smithereen dates back to the late
1880’s. A pharmaceutical salesman,
E.R. Jennings, came across a safe pesti-
cide that was used by Turkish soldiers
during the 19th Russo-Turkish war to
protect them from lice and fleas. He
began to experiment with similar floral
powders and discovered an effective
pesticide that was not toxic to people.
He packaged and sold it to food plants
and packing houses all over Chicago’s
south side. Jennings became one of the
country’s first professional extermina-
tors. By 1910 Smithereen continued to
develop new and revolutionary pesti-
cides and hire workers that not only
sold the products but also taught cus-
tomers how to apply it.
Four generations later Smithereen is
now led by J.R. Jennings, who is continu-
ing Smithereen's 2nd century of devot-
ed service, ground breaking business
strategies, and a commitment to not
only employees but the communities
Smithereen serves. Smithereen Pest
Management provides a wide variety
of pest control services to commercial
and residential customers in Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas and Mis-
souri. The Niles location is the compa-
ny’s corporate office.
Their Integrated Pest Management
(aka IPM) solutions are designed to
mitigate the negative impact the pres-
ence of pests can have on a home or
office by emphasizing proactive pest
control and aggressive monitoring. By
focusing on preventative services they
are able to reduce the need to deploy
chemical extermination measures and
minimize the toxicity of the products
and associated health risks. They also
offer Green Pest Management which
satisfies all LEED eligibility require-
ments, Bird Abatement, Wildlife Con-
trol, Termite Control, Spider Control,
Perimeter Treatments and Four Sea-
sons Residential Service.
Congratulations to Smithereen Pest
Management Services on being se-
lected as the Niles Chamber of Com-
merce June 2015 Business of the
Month. Smithereen not only supports
the Niles community but also creates
charitable opportunities for their em-
ployees with Habitat for Humanity,
Greater Chicago Food Depository,
Lurie Children’s Memorial Hospital
and the Lake County Forest Preserves.
