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

Pro Wildlife Removal Lake County is a full-service Grayslake wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Grayslake pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Pro Wildlife Removal Lake County 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.

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

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

The above are just some of the services offered by Pro Wildlife Removal Lake County. 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 Removal Lake County also provides dead animal removal in Grayslake. 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 Grayslake 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 Grayslake. And remember, we are a private business, not Lake County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at (847) 377-4700. Lake County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

Grayslake Wildlife Tip #1:
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REMOVE RACCOONS IN A BUILDING

Are you being troubled with infestation of raccoons at your place? Do you want to get rid of them but not sure what approach to follow and how much time would it take? Are you looking for some solution that can save you time and help you in getting rid of raccoons too? If yes, then this post is for you! These unwanted guests look for silent and unperturbed surroundings for their family and areas like your basement and attic are the perfect spots to give them all they need! Since we humans are cutting off trees and forests, these wild animals have to find a spot for their sustenance and thus their infestation into resident and commercial buildings has increased in recent years.

The time taken to remove raccoons will depend upon the tactics and strategies that you put across. This post is to guide you about some of the ways to remove raccoons and then go for the one which you think is ideal for your situation and will provide you effective results!

If there is only raccoon

If you have just spotted a raccoon in your building and you are sure there are no more, you can use cayenne paper spray as it has the smell which really irritates them! This will help them shoo away in matter of few days if you spray it regularly at a spot where he is trying to build his empire. You may also use eviction fluids available in the market which are made from urine of fox or predators of raccoons which keep them away from the building.

If there are many

If your building has been targeted by raccoons then pepper spray only will not be enough! You need to adopt some trapping means and mechanisms which include setting bait of oily foods! Raccoons are inclined towards oily foods and their smell makes them go crazy. If you can set a trap for them you would be able to catch them all. But you might need some professional help as it won't be feasible for you to handle all of them together.

Removing raccoons from the building can take time as it is not so easy to catch all of them and then relocate safely. If there is just one then certainly you may do so in a day or two! Furthermore, the time required to remove raccoons also depend upon their location in the building. If the raccoons have built their nest in attic then setting the traps and removing them from there can take some time! If you don't want to seek professional help, you can rely on DIY but that requires little more investment of time. You need to do careful research and exercise diligent approach to do inspection of all the parts of your building where raccoons are ganging up. Professional experts help you in applying the correct strategy which is beneficial for both you and them. They trap them safely without causing any harm and then land them in zone of other raccoons.

Grayslake 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.
