More Than Wildlife Trapping
Removing the animal is only part of solving a wildlife problem. A lasting solution begins with understanding what entered, where it is living and how it gained access.
Our technicians inspect rooflines, soffits, vents, foundations, chimneys and other vulnerable areas. Depending on the species and conditions, service may include one-way eviction, hand removal, monitored trapping, exclusion repairs and cleanup recommendations.
Our goal is simple: resolve the active wildlife problem responsibly and address the conditions that could allow it to happen again.
Signs You May Need Wildlife Removal
- Scratching, chewing or movement in an attic or wall
- Damaged soffits, vents, shingles or siding
- Droppings, urine stains, nesting material or odors
- Animals entering a chimney, crawl space or roofline
- Burrows beneath decks, sheds or foundations
- Repeated wildlife activity around the same opening
Our Wildlife Removal Process
Every property and species requires a different approach, but the foundation of our work remains consistent.
Inspect
Identify the species, active areas, damage and entry points around the structure.
Remove or Evict
Use the most appropriate legal and humane method for the animal and situation.
Exclude & Repair
Seal active and vulnerable openings with durable wildlife-resistant materials when appropriate.
Clean & Protect
Address contamination concerns, recommend cleanup and help reduce the chance of future entry.
Wildlife We Remove
Select an animal to learn about common problems, removal considerations and the next step for professional service.
Groundhogs
Burrows beneath sheds, decks, foundations and landscaping. Underground fencing is our primary long-term prevention method.
Foxes & Coyotes
Denning, recurring activity and property-specific guidance.
Humane, Legal & Property-Focused
Whenever possible, our team uses low-stress removal methods such as one-way doors, hand removal and reunification of young. Trapping is used when necessary or when conditions make it the most appropriate method.
Every situation is handled according to Illinois wildlife regulations, species biology and the conditions found at the property.
Cleanup & Sanitation
When wildlife leaves droppings, nesting material or damaged insulation behind, we can evaluate cleanup needs and recommend the appropriate next step.

Wildlife Removal FAQs
What should I do if I hear an animal in the attic or walls?
Avoid sealing an opening until the animal and any dependent young have been identified and removed. Schedule an inspection so the active entry point and safest next step can be determined.
Do you use humane wildlife-removal methods?
Yes. Whenever conditions allow, we use one-way doors, hand removal, reunification of young and other low-stress techniques. Trapping is used when necessary or appropriate for the species and property.
Can you seal the entry points after wildlife is removed?
Yes. D&K provides wildlife exclusion and repairs using durable materials selected for the opening and construction type. The timing of exclusion depends on the species and removal method.

Yes. We work with homeowners, businesses, property managers, condominium associations and HOAs throughout our service area.
