Wildlife removal and pest control in Illinois

Removal without exclusion is a subscription, not a service. Across Illinois we treat the sealing work as the main job and the trapping as the part that comes first, which is why our customers generally do not call us back about the same animal.

If you are buying or selling in Illinois, a wildlife and pest inspection before closing is far cheaper than discovering contaminated attic insulation afterwards. We document findings with photographs you can hand to any party.

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

The Midwest runs on a hard seasonal clock. Autumn drives everything indoors at once, so the cheapest time to seal a building here is late summer, before the push starts.

Call (276) 319-2391 to speak to someone now, or request an inspection.

Call a Illinois technician if you notice

  • Nesting material in vents, gutters or the attic
  • Torn soffits, chewed fascia or a hole at the roof line
  • Droppings in the attic, garage, pantry or crawl space
  • Digging, cone-shaped holes or a burrow near the foundation
  • Daytime scratching, which usually means squirrels rather than raccoons
  • An animal seen entering the roof line at dusk
  • Scratching, thumping or scurrying overhead at night
  • Pets fixating on one wall, ceiling or floor area

Why Illinois calls us

Same-day inspections in most areas

Most Illinois calls booked before early afternoon get an inspection the same day.

Full cleanup, not just removal

Droppings, nesting material, contaminated insulation and odour all get dealt with, because that is what makes the space usable again.

Written warranty on exclusion

The sealing work is warrantied. If something gets back in through a point we closed, we come back.

Flat price before we start

You approve one number in writing. It does not grow once the attic hatch is open.

Answered around the clock

A real person takes the call, day or night. Animals do not wait for business hours and neither do we.

Humane removal first

Live capture and one-way exclusion doors wherever the species and season allow. Lethal control is a last resort, not a default.

Where we work in Illinois

Technicians cover the whole of Illinois, including rural counties. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will confirm an inspection window for your address.

    The animal comes out humanely, every entry point is sealed under warranty, and contamination is cleaned up. You get before and after photographs.

What Illinois customers say

★★★★★

Squirrels chewed wiring in the attic. They flagged it, photographed it, and told us to get an electrician out. Could have been much worse.

Jenna A., Illinois
★★★★★

Mice in the pantry. They found the gap behind the dishwasher line that everyone else missed.

Sofia B., Illinois
★★★★★

Flying squirrels, which apparently are different from grey squirrels in every way that matters. They knew that. The last company did not.

Wildlife removal in Illinois: frequently asked questions

How fast can you get to me in Illinois?
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.
How much does wildlife removal cost in Illinois?
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.
What areas of Illinois do you cover?
We serve the whole of Illinois, including rural counties. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call (276) 319-2391 and we will confirm in under a minute.
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.
There is an animal inside my house right now. What do I do?
Close interior doors to confine it to one room, open an exterior door or window in that room if you safely can, and keep people and pets away. Do not try to corner or handle it. Call (276) 319-2391 and we will talk you through it.
