Animal removal and pest control in Chicago

Chicago property owners usually find us after a first attempt somewhere else did not hold. Traps came out, the noise stopped for a few weeks, and then it started again. That pattern nearly always means the entry point was never closed.

Newer Chicago construction has the opposite issue: fewer gaps, but the ones that exist are used hard. A single unscreened gable vent will be the route for years if nothing closes it.

Illinois homes see raccoons and squirrels in attics across the suburbs, with Norway rats entrenched in older Chicago-area basements, gangways and alleys.

Call (276) 319-2391 or see everything we do statewide on the Illinois page.

Call a Chicago technician if you notice

  • Daytime scratching, which usually means squirrels rather than raccoons

  • Chewed wiring, ductwork or insulation
  • Torn soffits, chewed fascia or a hole at the roof line
  • An animal seen entering the roof line at dusk
  • Droppings in the attic, garage, pantry or crawl space

Wildlife removal in Chicago: frequently asked questions

Is the exclusion work warrantied in Chicago?
Yes. The points we seal carry a written warranty. If something gets back in through one of them, we return and put it right.
How fast can you get to me in Chicago?
Most Illinois calls booked before early afternoon get an inspection the same day. Animals trapped inside living space, injured animals and active emergencies are dispatched straight away. Call (276) 319-2391 and you will get a real arrival window.
Do you remove animals humanely?
Wherever the species and season allow, yes. Live capture and one-way exclusion doors are the default. We do not seal young inside a structure, which is why timing matters for bats and spring litters.
Can you tell me what it is over the phone?
Often we can narrow it down from when the noise happens and what it sounds like. But we do not quote blind, because treating a flying squirrel as a grey squirrel wastes your money.
Do you seal the entry point or just remove the animal?
We seal it. Removal alone leaves an open door, and something else finds it within weeks. Exclusion is quoted as part of the job, not sold to you afterwards.
How much does wildlife removal cost in Chicago?
It depends on the species, the entry points and the cleanup. Every Illinois quote is flat and given in writing after inspection. Single-animal removals sit at the low end; full exclusions and attic restorations are quoted after we see the roof line.
