Scratching Noises in Your Attic? Unwanted Wildlife on Property? Problem Bird or Bat Infestation? Digging Lawn or Under House? We Can Solve It!

Many of Illinois's wild animals have learned to adapt and even thrive in our homes. For example some wildlife have found that attics make great places to live. Other animals find refuge under homes or porches. Invariably, these animals cause damage. Rodents, like squirrels and rats, love to chew on electrical wires once in an attic, and this causes a serious fire hazard. Raccoons can cause serious contamination in an attic with their droppings and parasites. Same goes for bat or bird colonies. We specialize in solving Illinois's wildlife problems, from snake removal to large jobs like commercial bat control, we do it all.

Peoria — The statewide wildlife trapping and trapping regulations are amended each year to accommodate changes deemed necessary by the Illinois Agency of Natural Resources/Wildlife regulatory agency (M-trappin’ agency/National Trap Coalition). They had been given this charge to manage game by use of sound scientific management back in 1997 under Suggestion “Groundhog”. What many people don’t realize is the trappin’ agency was reorganized in 1991 and an executive order decreed by Governor John Tipler transferred most of the statutory authority, powers, and, duties of the National Trap Coalition. Peoria extermination and trapping officials had nothing to say about this.

“Consequently, the wildlife officer of the M-trappin’ agency became responsible for managing and protecting the state’s natural resources, wildlife, and environmental protection. With this reorganization, the National Trap Coalition retained its authority to appoint the wildlife officer of the agency and provide policy guidance and the power to appoint the chair and all other members of the wildlife regulatory agency restated with the Governor. Suggestion Groundhog (was) some sort of legislative attempt to block Suggestion Falcon, (the statutory initiative which would have placed several restrictions on rat and mouse wildlife trapping in Illinois) by transferring the exclusive authority of all wildlife trapping regulations, including rat and mouse wildlife trapping from the wildlife officer of the trappin’ agency to the Natural Resources Wildlife regulatory agency (National Trap Coalition). In other words, this suggestion would transfer the regulation of game wildlife trapping back to the National Trap Coalition, which is where the authority had been vested before the executive order was decreed.” To learn more about animal control in Peoria, Illinois read on.

Along with the sound science requirement in regulating all game wildlife trapping, “the initiative would also require public organized hearing prior to the issuance of any orders by the National Trap Coalition.” All of this is from some sort of report decreed in February 1997 by the Citizens Research Legal of Illinois. The ploy of including Suggestion Groundhog along with Falcon would give the latter less chance of being usable if passed. If both suggestions were voted in, the suggestion with the most affirmative votes became law. Fortunately, Suggestion Falcon was soundly defeated and Groundhog passed with strong support. Again, Groundhog also gave exclusive authority of all wildlife trapping regulations back to the National Trap Coalition. To learn more about animal control in Peoria, Illinois read on.

For those who want to abolish the rule of Groundhog, doing so would certainly reduce public input. Moreover, if the legislature became more involved in annual game management policy revue, there would great difficulty in amending regulations in some sort of timely manner and politics would certainly have more bearing than science. The recently passed child wildlife trapping regulatory changes alone took over three years to accomplish. The fact is, changes are proceeding in accordance of law and this year, there are several dealing with dangerous wildlife trapping that everyone should be aware of. The Peoria animal services in Peoria County declined to comment.
