Coyote, Fox, or Other Canine 
Management Programs

With the combination of population growth, loss of green space, and changing laws and regulations, coyote populations have increased and expanded through the United States, specifically here in Illinois.

The fully trained staff of professionals at Illinois State Wildlife Service can assist you with accurate education and solution to help prevent conflict. Although coyotes do not pose a great threat regarding damage to structure, they do pose a very real threat through their aggressive behavior. If they are still nursing or have contracted a disease they will be unpredictable. Coyotes carry a wide range of disease, with the most concerning ones being rabies and distemper. Coyotes also are very susceptible to socorotic mange.

Rodent Control 
Management Programs

Rodents cover a wide range of "critters" that include: mice, rats, moles, voles, shrews, chipmunks, squirrels, and more. Rodents will account for millions of dollars of damages each year in the United States. It is also estimated that 20-25 percent of all fires with a "CAUSE UNKNOWN" may be due to rodents gnawing on wires, gas lines, etc. A few centuries ago the 'Black Plaque', carried by rats, caused the deaths of approximately 25 million people. This disease spread from the rats to humans by fleas carried by the rats. As with all animals, disease and the destruction they cause, must be controlled and monitored. Illinois State Wildlife Service specializes in rodent control, exclusion, and management. The Illinois State Wildlife Service response to all rodent issues is to first determine the cause of the rodent problem, then create a rodent eradication program, followed by rodent prevention and exclusion, and finally to create a long-term rodent maintenance program. If you are experiencing any type of rodent problem or issues contact us at 309-409-6245 or via email: info@illinoisstatewildlifeservice.com
