Raccoon Removal:
Raccoons are nocturnal burglars in Chicago. These masked thugs scale trees, chimneys, and spouts, leaving filthy, oily smudges in their wake.
Raccoons have human-like hands, allowing them to move doorknobs, open trash cans, and dig for bugs. Raccoons consume a wide range of foods, including junk food, pet food, garden produce, insects, and even live chickens.
They will force their way into attic vents or beneath decks and porches to get access to your property. If a pet door is left open, they will walk through it. Raccoons will destroy walls, pull insulation, scratch on wood, and leave piles of stinking feces and urine once inside. Because excrement can harbor mold spores and certain raccoons carry diseases, you must contact a Chicago wildlife removal specialist.
Inspection:
We determine the intensity of the raccoon infestation during the inspection. We look for physical evidence such as raccoon excrement and urine stains in or around the residence. We inspect the house’s exterior for damage such as scratches on the boards, broken vents, and screens, ripped apart shingles, wrecked soffits, and every possible entry point.
Trapping and Extraction
The most effective and humane technique to eradicate raccoons is by live trapping or one-way doors. The gadget you choose is heavily influenced by the season and location of the raccoons on your property. Because raccoons are a rabies-transmitting species, direct capture is rarely done. If we must trap, we install traps strategically to catch the raccoons securely, and we check traps regularly by state legislation.
Repairs:
We offer a variety of repair and restoration services. Raccoon damage such as damaged screens on vents and chimneys and broken boards on decks and porches can be repaired. Cleaning chemicals and ectoparasite treatments must be used in raccoon-infested locations.
Bat Control:
Did you know that bats may consume their whole body weight in insects every night? They are also the only mammals that can fly. We need bats in Chicago, but we don’t want them living in our attics or barns.
In Chicago, there are 13 kinds of bats, including big and little brown bats, hoary bats, and silver-haired bats. They are nocturnal creatures that spend the day upside down in dark, dry places.
Bats are a protected species because their survival is threatened by diseases such as white-nose syndrome. Significant occurrences occur throughout the year for bats, limiting removal time. The mating season takes place in late winter and early spring. May to August is the maternity season. Between October and March is the optimum time to eliminate bats.
Bat guano accumulates in your attic or other building while roosting and can seep into your home through holes in the floor. It has a strong odor and stains the walls. Mold spores can also develop in it.
We can get rid of bats for you.
Inspection
We conduct a thorough inside and exterior check, looking for indications such as rub marks, guano, a strong ammonia odor, and small openings. The accumulation of guano is the most typical symptom (feces).
Removal of Bats
Using a bat valve in conjunction with a full home exclusion is the most effective and kindest technique to eliminate bats. A bat valve permits bats to leave but not return to your home. For humane bat removal, we adhere to all local ordinances. We will never leave helpless puppies in your attic.
Repairs
After removing the bat valves, we plug the entrance hole(s) to prevent bats from entering your property. If there is a significant amount of guano in your attic, you should consider using our attic remediation services to remove the dirty insulation and replace it.
Squirrels:
Tree squirrels in Chicago may jump up to ten feet. This could include anything from the ground to your roof. They are plentiful and always active, gathering and storing food and nesting supplies. They require a location to keep their discoveries. Squirrels will frequently dig holes in your yard and bury stuff. Sometimes they make their way into your attic, crawlspace, chimney, or basement.
Nuts, fruits, bird eggs, leaves, grass, bark, pinecones, grains, and seeds are all favorites of squirrels. Squirrels are content if your bird feeder is well-stocked. To get access to your home, squirrels will chew through siding, timber, and drywall. They will, however, select the easier route if they can enter through already-made holes.
If you suspect squirrels are invading your property, please contact us straight away so that we can solve your rodent problem.
Examination
Wildlife experts search for indications such as chewing on, in, or around your property, small openings leading to the attic or crawl space, droppings, and waste such as nuts or nesting material during an inspection. Squirrels can cause damage to beams, cables, pipes, and insulation.
Trapping and Removal
The most effective and gentle techniques to get rid of squirrels are live traps or one-way doors. One-way doors should never be utilized during the birthing seasons (Spring and Fall), thus our experts will choose which instrument is appropriate for the job. If we have to trap, we install traps strategically to catch the squirrels securely and inspect them in accordance with state legislation.
Fixes
After we have eliminated the offenders, we may restore your house or office by squirrel-proofing any entry points. We may also clean up any garbage, food, feces, or dirty insulation from the nesting locations.
Mice and rats
Illinois has six indigenous mice and two indigenous rats. Non-native animals, such as the house mouse and Norway rat, become nuisance fauna. These two cause building infestations, pollute food and pose a public health risk because of the diseases they carry.
You might be wondering how rodents get into your house. It’s not difficult. Mice can fit through a quarter-sized hole. Rats can also burrow and fit through tunnels much smaller than their bodies.
Rats and mice love to chew on things like flooring, furniture, baseboards, cupboards, food boxes, walls, ducting, and pipes. They chew on anything, including metals and electrical cables. They collect a broad variety of materials to build nests, which are frequently found in ducts, vents, and chimneys, posing a fire hazard.
They also spawn several times a year, with multiple babies per litter. If an infestation is not addressed early on, it can spread swiftly. Call us as soon as you detect a rat or mouse problem.
Inspection
We extensively investigate your attic and conduct a complete exterior home inspection during a rodent inspection. Gnawed markings, feces, rub marks, nesting material, runs in insulation material, and small access sites are the most prevalent evidence of rodent activity.
Trapping of rodents
A ATAP Pest Control wildlife professional will devise a trapping strategy to eliminate the rodents located on your property. To capture and remove mice and rats, ATAP specialists may employ snap traps and live traps.
Repairs
Sealing possible entrances are the best technique to prevent the chance of undesirable rodents entering homes. Caulking foundation cracks, capping chimneys, and placing mesh covers over vents and crawl space entrances are all ways of exclusion. Maintenance service is also highly recommended. Rodents have constantly growing front teeth, which allows them to bite a new entrance back into your home.
Skunks
Skunks are a prevalent nuisance in Albuquerque. These animals are distinguished by their black and white appearance, their proclivity for hunting for food in garbage cans and pet food bowls, and their pungent odor, which can linger for days. If you happen to run into a skunk, don’t try to scare it away. Please keep in mind that skunks might carry rabies, so it’s best to leave removal to a professional.
Inspection
We will evaluate the state of your landscaping in addition to recording any distinct aromas that indicate the presence of a skunk, as skunks are infamous for chewing up lawns and shredding grass while looking for grubs and insects. We will also look for burrows around the perimeter of your building’s foundations and under decks.
Trapping and Extraction
Never attempt to remove a skunk from your property on your own. Being sprayed is a really uncomfortable feeling. Additionally, these animals may contain diseases that can be transmitted to humans and pets, like as rabies. Our experts will capture and remove skunks using live traps, or they will employ a one-way exclusion device to expel skunks from their harborage locations. Exclusion and habitat modification are the most effective approaches to controlling a skunk infestation.
Skunk Extermination
Exclusion and habitat modification are the most effective approaches to controlling a skunk infestation. The most efficient and long-lasting ways to keep skunks out are to cover foundation gaps, replace and screen broken foundation vents, and install hardware cloth (rat barriers) around vulnerable sheds and decks.
We advise keeping pet food inside and locking any trash cans.
