Choose your city
Illinois's diverse environments, from agricultural lands to urban centers like Springfield and Peoria, support a range of nuisance wildlife. Our work is driven by seasonal shifts: spring brings nesting animals, summer sees increased insect and rodent issues, fall requires preparation for winter invaders, and winter demands removal of animals seeking shelter. Local ordinances and permitting requirements vary, impacting how certain species can be handled. When choosing a provider, consider their knowledge of these specific Illinois regulations and their experience with the common species found in your area, such as raccoons, squirrels, and bats.
Common questions

What is the 3-3-3 rule for animals?
The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for understanding how a newly adopted animal adjusts. It suggests 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to feel at home. This applies to domestic pets, not wild animals requiring removal.
