Who Is The Chicago Bug Girl?
Do you know the Chicago Bug Girl?
Meet Janelle, Rose Pest Solutions’ voice and face for all-things-bugs-and-rodents throughout Chicagoland. You may have heard the Chicago Bug Girl on WGN Radio with David Hochberg and friends Saturday mornings, or maybe you saw her talking about the rat problems in the city on morning news.
Since she began working for America’s oldest pest management company back in 2005, Janelle has been creating all kinds of buzz in the industry. She was a recipient of the Daily Herald Business Ledger’s Influential Woman in Business Award 2021. And most recently, the Chicago Bug Girl created STEM programs with the Girl Scouts!
Rose joins forces with the Girl Scouts
As a former Girl Scout herself, Janelle accredits many of the skills still uses today to what she acquired in Girl Scouts. After discovering a recent statistic about women representing only 4% of professional pest management professionals, Janelle made it her mission to get as many young women excited about environmental science and public health as possible.
Did you know there are actually THREE Bug Girls?
Better known as the Bug Squad, Janelle, Anna and Ravin represent Rose’s Marketing Team. They love sharing the fun and fascinating world of insects with everyone. They’re committed to education in public health, protecting your homes, and to protecting the vital role insects play in our ecology. But they’re also local resources, successful women in science, and leaders that help kids of all ages explore their interest in STEM fields!

She brings fantastic ideas for partnerships…
Janelle is a wonderfully creative marketing professional! I work at a non-profit organization and I’ve had the pleasure of working with her for over four years as a sponsor of my organization. She brings fantastic ideas for partnerships, boundless enthusiasm, great connections, and more. Janelle and her team attend our events as well as help amplify our messaging across a variety of platforms. When Janelle commits to an event, you know she will be there with a fun activity, nice handouts, and likely a bee costume as well!
