Oak Lawn Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Oak Lawn, IL

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn, and I recommend the following:

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Illinois and Cook County licensed and insured
  • Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
  • Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
  • Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
  • Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste

  • Pro Wildlife and Rodent Removal Oak Lawn is a full-service Oak Lawn wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Oak Lawn pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Pro Wildlife and Rodent Removal Oak Lawn 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.

    Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pro Wildlife and Rodent Removal Oak Lawn. 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Oak Lawn 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. Pro Wildlife and Rodent Removal Oak Lawn does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Pro Wildlife and Rodent Removal Oak Lawn. 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. Pro Wildlife and Rodent Removal Oak Lawn also provides dead animal removal in Oak Lawn. 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn. And remember, we are a private business, not Cook County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (708) 636-8586. Cook County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Oak Lawn Wildlife Tip #1:
    Will homeowner insurance pay for house mouse damage?

    Insurance is a contract between an insurance company and a person allowing the insurance company to cover all the damages caused to the insured property in case of a risk. However, the person is supposed to make some payments every once in a while.

    Will the contract cover mouse related perils?

    Rarely will the homeowner insurance contract cover for such a peril. First for the contract to be legible there are some terms that it must fulfill and one of them is that the loss must be caused by natural and uncalled for perils and a mouse being un-natural there rises a complication.

    What does it cover normally

    a homeowner insurance contract cover the home, the property inside the home and the liability coverage. This is side insurance within the main homeowner insurance contract that covers any other person that is hurt while in your property. These are mainly the people or the things that this insurance contract mainly covers for.

    Any hope

    Well some companies are generous enough to cover or cater for the damages caused by the mouse perils. In short sometimes the insurance companies do cover for the losses caused by the mouse and all the damages. Therefore, there is some hope if only you can take cover with the right type of company that understands.

    What you can to avoid such circumstances

    Sometimes it is good to avoid some circumstantial displacements caused by these animals. You are forced to leave you home because the mice that you could have controlled right from the beginning have now turned against you and chased you away. What you can do is very simple. Contact the professionals to help you with the job of kicking the bad guys out. This will help you solve the problem before going to the professionals. Or, you can control them yourself. You can set up some traps that will snare the animals slowly until all are gone. Lastly, you can control them by controlling the food they might be coming for. This way the mice will not have a reason to be in your house and therefore, they will not cause turmoil in your house.

    Final word

    You need to know everything that is happening all around your house and take control of it. This way you will be avoiding losing your house and never getting it back.

    Oak Lawn 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.
