Chicagoland homes deal with a specific mix — rats, raccoons, squirrels — and each one enters a Chicago house differently. Norway rat pressure is a year-round Chicago-specific challenge. Our local crew inspects for the exact entry pattern those species use in this climate, traps humanely under Illinois DNR Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator permit, and seals with materials rated for Chicago's weather cycle.

Same process on every Chicago call — no surprises, no upsells mid-job. Every step is performed under a Illinois DNR Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator permit.
A licensed Chicago technician arrives under 2 hours of your call, walks the roof line, attic, and crawlspace, and identifies every active and potential entry point — not just the obvious one.
We set humane traps sized for the target species, positioned where the animal is actively traveling. All trapping is performed under a Illinois DNR Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator permit, with daily checks required by state law.
Once the animal is out, we seal every gap larger than a dime with 19-gauge steel mesh, hardware cloth, and structural repair where framing is chewed. Nothing gets back in through the same route.
Every Chicago exclusion carries a multi-year written warranty. If a sealed entry point fails, we come back and re-seal it at no charge — that's how confident we are in the work.
Chicago has one of the worst Norway rat problems in the country — perimeter treatment alone won't hold without entry-point sealing.
Licensed technicians remove wildlife from your attic, walls, chimney, crawlspace, and yard using humane trapping and one-way exclusion. We identify entry points, remove the animal, then seal your home so nothing gets back in.

Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.
Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.
Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.
Marcus showed up two hours after I called, showed me exactly where she was getting in above the soffit, set a one-way door and sealed six other gaps I didn't even know existed. No more scratching. Written warranty. Worth every dollar.
Alex crawled the entire soffit line, found three entry points I didn't know about, set a one-way and sealed the rest with heavy mesh. Warranty on the exclusion. Straight shooter.
Cole diagnosed flying squirrels (not roof rats — I would've bought poison and made it worse). Set traps in the right runs, sealed the fascia gap, checked back twice. Very knowledgeable.
