Expert Wildlife Management—Tailored for Machesney Park

Machesney Park’s mix of residential developments, forest preserves, and riverfront properties make it an attractive environment not only for families—but also for wildlife. Areas near Shorewood Park, Harlem Road, and Willow Creek see frequent intrusions from raccoons, squirrels, bats, skunks, and more.
That’s where we come in.
At Advanced Wildlife Management, we understand how local geography and housing layouts in Machesney Park contribute to common entry points. Our trained professionals respond quickly, solve the issue humanely, and protect your home from future visits.
A Closer Look: Inspection & Identification
Understanding the problem starts with knowing what you’re dealing with.
Your first clue might be strange noises, an odor, or signs of chewing near the eaves. Our team begins with a thorough inspection, checking the attic, crawl spaces, roofline, and exterior. Familiarity with local home construction helps us find where wildlife is active—and how they got inside.
Once we confirm the presence of wildlife, we locate how they’re getting in—often through attic vents, fascia gaps, chimney stacks, or crawlspaces. We’ll document each point and begin planning safe removal and repairs.

Where Wildlife Breaks In

Ethical Wildlife Removal in Machesney Park
Safe, legal, and humane methods to protect your home—and the animals we share it with.
Using live traps, one-way doors, and safe exclusion methods, we remove animals without causing harm. Whether it’s squirrels in your attic or opossums under your porch, we ensure they’re relocated safely and legally, with as little stress as possible.
Restoring Cleanliness & Comfort
Removing what’s left behind to make your home safe and sanitary again.
Wildlife leave behind messes. We clean and disinfect nesting areas, remove feces and urine-soaked insulation, deodorize affected spaces, and eliminate health hazards. Whether you’re dealing with bat guano or raccoon droppings, we restore hygiene and comfort to your home.
Repairs and Long-Term Protection
Keeping your home secure and wildlife-free for good.
After the cleanup, we focus on restoring your home and preventing future invasions. We repair structural damage like chewed wires, torn soffits, and compromised insulation. Then, we fortify weak areas with long-lasting, weather-resistant materials. Our team seals all known and potential access points, installs vent guards, chimney caps, and wildlife-proof screens, and completes a final inspection to ensure your home is fully protected moving forward.

Our Humane Commitment
At Advanced Wildlife Management, we believe every animal has value. That’s why we handle all wildlife with care—from the moment we set a trap to the moment we relocate them to a more suitable habitat. Our Rockford clients appreciate knowing their problem is resolved without harm—and with deep respect for nature.
