Wildlife Exclusion & Proofing for Illinois homes and businesses

Getting wildlife exclusion & proofing done properly in Illinois means removal and sealing in the same job. The whole building sealed properly, so removal is a one-time job rather than an annual one. Doing only the first half is why so many people call us second.

Older properties in Illinois tend to have several entry points rather than one. Soffit returns, ridge vents, fascia gaps and chimney flashing all fail slowly, and animals find the failures long before people do.

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 request an inspection and we will book a window that works.

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.

Wildlife Exclusion & Proofing in Illinois: frequently asked questions

What is wildlife exclusion?
Sealing every viable entry point on a building so animals cannot get in. Roof returns, soffits, fascia, vents, chimney, crawl space and utility penetrations.
Is it worth doing before I have a problem?
Yes, and it is cheaper. Preventive exclusion costs a fraction of removal plus attic restoration after a season of occupancy.
When is the best time in Illinois?
Late summer, before the autumn push indoors. Sealing a building after animals are already inside means removal has to come first.
Do you warranty the work?
Yes. Sealed points carry a written warranty. If something gets back in through one of them, we return and fix it at no charge.
How long does a full exclusion take?
Most single-family homes are one to two days depending on roof line complexity, height and construction type.
Will it damage how my house looks?
No. Sealing uses colour-matched materials and hardware cloth behind vents rather than visible patches. We photograph the finished work so you can see it.
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.
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.
