Humane Animal Trapping
No matter what the circumstance or problem may be, humane animal removal and ethical animal treatment is one of the most important aspects of our services. We understand that you may have been convenienced but we also understand that they want to survive just like we do. We specialize in fast removal so that your situation is solved right away, while also making sure the nuisance animals are as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
Animal Damage Repairs and Exclusion
Trapping is the the second most important part of what we do. That’s right, second! Without properly animal proofing the animals entry point into or under your home, the residual animal smells left behind in the vacant den will quickly attract new animals to take up residence. Our proprietary wildlife exclusion services use the very best animal proof materials made specifically for nuisance animals, and are guaranteed against animal entry.
What we do
The Wildlife Control Process
Home Inspection
The first step to solving your wildlife issue is doing a complete home inspection for wildlife entry. This inspection allows us to figure out what type of animals are entering, where they are getting in and how they are accessing this point. From there, we can formulate the best plan of action for not only removing them, but also preventing them once the trapping process is completed.
Animal Removal
Wildlife removal is your first line of defense in getting control back once animals have moved in. We provide humane and effective nuisance animal removal solutions for all types of wildlife from trapping muskrat, beaver, squirrels, raccoons and skunks to getting rid of bats and birds. The variety of methods we use ensures that even trap smart or shy animals are captured and taken away.
Clean Up Services
Our clean up services offered are complete from start to finish. We offer bird nest removal from attics for nests the size of a shoe box to nests that are 4 feet tall and span several feet across the attic. We also offer bat guano removal for bat dropping accumulation in attics. Raccoon feces removal is also offered when an accumulation in the attic has been discovered. Full attic clean out services are also available in the instance the insulation is destroyed.
Guaranteed Exclusion Work
Wildlife exclusion and animal proofing is the most vital aspect to your wildlife control plan of action. Once a den has been vacated and hair, urine, feces and some times even blood are left behind the area is very attractive to other wildlife. With no animal present to defend the territory a skunk, squirrel or raccoon will quickly move in and your wildlife issue will back at square one. Which can be a nightmare if damage repair has already been completed.
COMMON ANIMALS REMOVED

Mice in your home can be disastrous. Did you know that most homeowners insurance policies do not cover rodent damage done to your how? How much damage can little mice cause right? Wrong!

Bats are an amazing animal with a very large appetite, a fast digestive system, and actually the only mammal that can fly.

Skunk Removal
We can honestly say we love skunks, they are cute, docile when dealt with correctly are surprisingly very smart with a reputation for being smarter and a better pet then a house cat. If it were legal in Lake County Illinois we might even have a few…however we would never want one living under our deck or stoop so we know just how you feel when you want to get rid of a pest skunk on your property. Believe it or not we have had several clients call the gas company or fire department before calling us for skunk removal services because they thought the sulfur in the skunk essence was a gas leak. The sulfur in skunk spray is what temporarily blinds animals threatening the skunks life. We offer professional skunk odor removal for skunk spray that is just unbearable which is usually best done after skunk removal is performed. There is a special process for skunk control that always starts with skunk trapping because nothing can be done effectively with a live skunk spraying. Unfortunately we do encounter dead skunks from poisoning or natural causes usually disease. When we have a dead skunk under a deck of concrete stoop we try and remove it as soon as possible as the smell will last for periods of 6+ months very strongly. This is best accomplished by digging till the carcass can be found and removed, a very long process. If your looking for professional Lake County IL skunk control by humane trapping give us a call today for a phone consultation for skunk removal or skunk odor removal.
Raccoon Removal
Raccoons in an attic present two huge issues. Attic insulation damage causing a big rise in heating & cooling bills and the parasite ridden feces filled with raccoon roundworm eggs. Raccoons establish community latrines sites where they repeatedly deposit fresh feces. Raccoon feces can carry millions of roundworm eggs that lay dormant for years and can infect domestic cats and dogs, so raccoon removal is very important Raccoons are powerful animals and to be quite honest, almost every home is at risk of raccoons entering the attic because of their agility and power. Nuisance raccoons chew through roof shingles and wood, boar through soffits, tear down siding and fascia boards and pop open attic fans & vents to get inside an attic. Our Lake county raccoon removal company services tackle all types of raccoon control situations with various types of traps and raccoon exclusion, custom fabricated out of steel to insure once we get rid of raccoons they are gone for good. If you have a raccoon that has broken into your attic you are in luck about one thing, homeowners insurance usually covers the damage they do and takes care of the damaged insulation ruined by the raccoons walking and trampling around. Attic re-insulation due to raccoon damage is best done once the problem raccoons are removed and the raccoon entry points are sealed up professionally. We guarantee all of our raccoon proofing for quality of materials and workmanship. If you have a raccoon in your attic that you need to get rid of, call us today. We will send out a Lake County IL technician to get your raccoon trapping process started as well as an agent to estimate damage and work directly with your homeowners insurance on attic restoration.
