How it runs

  1. Call and describe it

    Tell us what you are hearing, seeing or smelling at (276) 319-2391. Animals loose indoors and injured animals are dispatched immediately. Everything else gets an inspection window.

  2. Full inspection and flat quote

    We survey the roof line, foundation and crawl space, photograph every entry point, and give you one fixed number in writing. Nothing starts until you approve it.

  3. Remove, seal, clean

    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

★★★★★

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.

Squirrel Removal in Illinois: frequently asked questions

Why do I only hear them during the day in Illinois?
Squirrels are diurnal. Daytime scratching and rolling sounds in the attic are the clearest single indicator that you are dealing with squirrels rather than raccoons or rats.
How do squirrels get into an attic?
Chewed fascia, gable vents, roof returns and soffit corners, usually reached from an overhanging limb or a power line. They can open a gap far smaller than people expect.
Is chewed wiring a real risk?
Yes. Squirrel teeth grow continuously and wiring insulation is the right hardness for gnawing. After any squirrel removal it is worth having the attic wiring inspected.
What about babies in the nest?
We check for a nest before sealing anything. One-way doors are not used while flightless young are present, because that separates them from the mother and creates a dead animal problem.
How much is squirrel removal in Illinois?
Driven by the number of chewed entry points and roof access. Quoted flat in writing after inspection, with the exclusion work included in the number.
Do you trim the trees too?
We do not, but we will show you which limbs are giving access. Clearing those is usually the cheapest single thing you can do to prevent a repeat.
Is the exclusion work warrantied in Illinois?
Yes. The points we seal carry a written warranty. If something gets back in through one of them, we return and put it right.
Do you clean up after the animals?
Yes. Droppings, nesting material, contaminated insulation and odour are all part of the scope. An attic that has been cleared but not cleaned is still a health problem.
