Humane Wildlife Trapping & Removal
Our wildlife services focus on safe, ethical, and effective removal methods that protect both your property and the animal. Every situation is different, which is why we begin with a full inspection to locate entry points, assess damage, and identify the best removal strategy for your specific issue.
We specialize in handling a wide range of wildlife, including:
- Raccoon Removal – Raccoons commonly invade attics, garages, chimneys, and sheds—often causing extensive damage. From tearing through roofing materials to contaminating insulation, a raccoon infestation can quickly escalate. We provide safe trapping, removal, and exclusion work to keep raccoons from returning.
- Beaver Removal – Beavers can cause major property damage by damming waterways, flooding yards, or destroying trees. Our team is trained in proper beaver control methods that protect your land while ensuring the removal is done legally and humanely.
- Skunk Removal – A skunk living beneath a deck, porch, or shed is more than an inconvenience; it’s a risk for spraying, lawn damage, and disease. We use proven, low-stress trapping and relocation techniques that prevent spray incidents and resolve the problem safely.
- Possum (Opossum) Removal – Possums often enter crawl spaces, garages, and other sheltered areas in search of food. While generally non-aggressive, they can still spread parasites and create messes. We provide quick, professional removal and secure all potential entry points to keep them out. If you’re dealing with another type of wildlife, just give us a call. We are experienced in handling many other species commonly found throughout Central Illinois.
- Squirrel Removal – Squirrels can quickly become a major problem when they get into attics, soffits, or wall voids. Their constant chewing can damage wiring, insulation, and structural materials, creating both safety hazards and expensive repairs. We provide safe, humane trapping and full exclusion work to remove squirrels and keep them from returning.
- Rat Removal – Rats reproduce quickly and can spread disease, contaminate food, and cause significant structural damage through chewing and tunneling. Whether they’re in the basement, crawl space, garage, or inside walls, our team uses targeted removal methods and long-term prevention solutions to eliminate the infestation and secure your home or business.
Damage Prevention & Exclusion Services
Removing the animal is only half the job. Our technicians professionally seal and secure potential entry points to keep wildlife from returning. This may include repairing access holes, screening vents, reinforcing weak spots, and offering recommendations to prevent future infestations.
Our goal is to protect your home or business long-term—not just provide a quick fix.
