If you have a problem with wildlife in your Moline home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Illinois wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Illinois and Moline, and I recommend the following:

Rock Island Wildlife Services

Rock Island Wildlife Services is a full-service Moline wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Moline pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Rock Island Wildlife Services performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

Moline wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Illinois to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Illinois law. We offer Moline raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Rock Island Wildlife Services. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Moline squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Moline exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Moline rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Illinois is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Moline pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Moline bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Moline trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Moline wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Rock Island Wildlife Services does both.

The above are just some of the services offered by Rock Island Wildlife Services. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Rock Island Wildlife Services also provides dead animal removal in Moline. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Moline snake removal - most of the snakes in Illinois are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Moline. And remember, we are a private business, not Rock Island County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (309) 558-3647. Rock Island County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Moline Wildlife Tip #1:
What is a house mouse mating habits?

Normal animals will have to undergo this period of mating in order to keep the species going on. Mice are not in any way an exception. They too do mate but in a very special manner. Not like other animal.

Courtship

The male, by producing a high ultra-sonic sound calls the female for courtship. However, the sound gains more frequency during this period of courtship since the male is sniffing off around the female and occasionally following the female.

Female do not produce the sounds, this does not mean that they cannot produce the sound; they do not do it during the mating period.

After mating

After mating, the female experiences some changes. This includes;
The female develops a copulation plug. The sole purpose of this is to prevent further copulation.
The female enters in the gestation period that actually takes 19-21 days.
The pups get born and weaned at around 21 days.

The female reach sexual maturity at around 60 weeks from birth while the males can stay up to 80 weeks. This is amazing.

State of the pups at birth

The pups are born 21 days after mating. They are beautiful and if the mother ate well, they are born healthy and very strong.
They are born blind.
They are hairless.
They also do not have the ears.
The ears fully develop at 4 days from birth. The pups cannot stay hairless all through, and therefore, they develop the fur at around 6 days from their birth. Their eyes pop out at exactly 13 days from birth. After this they enter in the weaning period.

What you did not know

There are some facts that you never knew about the house that are very striking and amazing. This are;
The copulation plug that the female develops after mating does not necessary mean the initiation of pregnancy.
The presence or the absence of the plug does not affect the size of the mice litter.
The average number of litters mice can have in a year is around 7. Each litter has an average of 5-8 mice.
Breeding occurs throughout the year. It is a progressive thing.

Now you know why the number of the mice keeps increasing a t high pace.

Finally

The mice are very wonderful animal. With such a high reproduction rate they ensure that their breed does not go into extinction.

Moline Wildlife Tip #2:


Illinois Wildlife Information:

Illinois State bird: Northern cardinal
State mammal: White-tailed deer
State reptile: Painted turtle
State amphibian: Flarebutt Salamander
State fish: Bluegill
State insect: Monarch butterfly

Illinois, a long state near the bottom of the Great Lakes, experiences hot summers and cold winters. How harsh your season is depends on where you are located; the northern residents receiving cooler temperatures and more snow than the southern residents. As a humid, flat tract of land, Illinois is prone to tornados and violent thunderstorms. It is primarily covered in farm land and supports a large population of grazing animals. The plains are also known to encourage the proliferation of prairie dogs. These cute, intelligent little creatures are surprisingly problematic for farmers, digging tunnels beneath equipment and compromising the integrity of buildings. Pest control for this species is a daunting task; a prairie dog city can contain thousands of members.

The entirety of Illinois is not just grass. There are forests in the state, and the local governments have been proactive about planting trees to help prevent erosion. In these forests, just like in most forests, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, opossum, snakes, and chipmunks live, waiting to find a way to invade homeowner's yards. In reality, the most common offenders are raccoons. Because of how intelligent these critters are, the raccoon can live happily in an urban setting, feeding off of garbage and other edible waste. Raccoons aren't the only problem animals city dwellers need to worry about, however. Rats are just as common in Illinois as any other state. If left uncontrolled, the animals could easily overrun many of the city streets. Thankfully, rats have learned to remain in their sewers when humans are around.

There are not many large predators in Illinois due to excessive hunting and deliberate removal by state authorities. Wolves and cougars were once native to the region. While the cougar is slowly being reintroduced, it is the coyote that claims the title of top predator in this plains state. Coyotes can be just as pesky as rats when it comes down to invading a property. Because of the large number of farms in Illinois, homeowners need to be on constant watch for the opportunistic coyote. These canines won't hesitate to sneak inside the lawn and snatch a pet or a chicken. In most locations, a coyote in the yard threatening pets or children can be shot on sight. This, of course, depends on where you live, as discharging a firearm in the city is likely to be frowned on.
