Chicago Squirrel and Wildlife Control
| Although I wrote everything I know about squirrel issues for this website, oftentimes a problem with squirrels in the attic is
beyond the scope of the do-it-yourself homeowner to solve. There are professional companies that handle problems with wildlife, and these companies have access to tools, techniques,
and experience that help them do a far better job at wildlife removal than a non-experienced homeowner could. And in many cases, they possess licensing that allows them to do certain
types of work legally, that non-licensed homeowners are not allowed to do. For the welfare of your situation, and the squirrels, in some cases it's best to hire a pro.
There are good companies and bad companies out there. I do not know many of them, but from time to time I talk to such companies, get to know them, and feel confident recommending
their services. We at squirel-attic.com therefore recommend a company called Accurate Pest, which services Chicago, Illinois. If you have a squirrel problem,
or any other conflict with a wild animal, and live in Chicago, I am confident that this company, run by a nice man named Gary, is the one to call. | |

Hi. My husband and I read your article online. I was wondering if you can refer someone that would be able to take care of my problem. I live in
Oak Forest, IL. My problem is I have a family of squirrels in my attic. It wasn't so bad in the Spring. But now, as Winter is approaching, it seems like the squirrels are having a party every morning. The area that they are located is wider now. I can hear them gnawing or scratching at things.
I found someone online from north Chicago. They looked at the attic, but was not able to put in traps because there were no evidence that the squirrels running around the attic level. He said the squirrels are somewhere between the attic and gutter. He suggested that I find someone to fix up the roof shingles, to replace the missing gutter covers and to install a one way tunnel. He said it was not necessary to remove the squirrels first.
I spoke to someone else who suggested that the squirrels be trapped and removed first. This, to ensure they do not return to their nest.
If you can help me to find someone that will be able to locate, to place traps and to remove the squirrels. I can hear my problem worsening as the weeks pass.
Thank you very much for your time,
Lila
Thank you for the information on your website. Is there any siding I can
use that squirrels cannot gnaw through? I now have three holes along my
roofline where squirrels have chewed into. One place is the same place
that squirrels gnawed into before. I would appreciate your help. Thanks.
Hi Dave,
Chicago here, with scratching in the attic and wondering in the thinker, and a story. Thanks for your excellent FAQ on the bushy-tails in the crawl space.
The mouse trap I set in he attic is missing so I conclude that whatever we hear up yonder is bigger than Mickey and smaller than Santa... And he/she is walking around with a nose as red as Rudolf's.
Two Hav-a-harts are set up there now. Thanks to your article, should I catch a bushy-tail by sunrise, I will check for bottom feeders (nipples). It's October in the morning. Would you guess the little family, if there is one, is mobilized by now?

Please be kind to squirrels! They are intelligent animals, and believe it or not, they definitely have emotions! |
