Jerry did a great job coming out and solving my rodent problem. He was particularly successful at sealing off the rats that were entering the building and would recommend it for any homeowner that is dealing with the issue. read more

I was adamant about finding someone who wouldn't just put out rat poison and call it a day. Jerry & his team did a great job of shoring up all of the points of my foundation and my neighbors' alleyway crawl space to ensure that we don't have any new neighbors. I also appreciated how quickly the team was able to get this work done--I am 9 months pregnant and didn't need to worry about rats getting into my subfloor or house! read more

I can't say enough about how great Jerry and his team are. We first used them at our old house, about 12 years ago, when we had mice in our basement. Our neighbors had mice upstairs in their bedroom, and used Terminex, and had ongoing issues. We called Jerry, had our house mouse-proofed, and never had a problem again. Fast forward to our current house... similar issues with mice started happening bc we're in the woods, and we called Jerry again. I'm confident that we'll have the same level of success this time around. One of the best parts is that in 12 years, they haven't really raised their prices, and I can't say that for anything else! Call them, you won't regret it! read more

I am so thankful that I found Chicago Green Trappers! This fall mice invaded our home. I had multiple companies at my home before I found Chicago Green Trappers. Everyone just wanted to bait my home and could never answer my question "how are the mice getting in?" Unfortunately the problem ONLY got worse. I was despondent and beside myself. I spent hours on you tube watching videos about mouse trap solutions. I wasted money on mice dice and plug ins. I called COUNTLESS companies looking for exclusion services (many don't offer exclusion). Finally, I spoke to Jerry at Chicago Green Trappers. Seconds into the conversation, I knew HE and his company were EXACTLY what I was looking for. He came out to the home and immediately identified several problem areas and had a plan of action. First he baited and then the exclusion came two weeks later. Even Jerry's bait job was better than all the other bait jobs before him. After our exclusion we had a few stragglers but Jerry was available the moment I called and out the very next day. We now live in a mouse free home. Jerry and Chicago Green Trappers are now helping us at our rental property. If you have mice, call Jerry NOW, you won't regret it. BEST $ I ever spent. read more

They help rid our attic of squirrels. The squirrels were given a exit only door which they took when they needed water. All of the potential access points were squirrel proofed. No more pitter patter in our ceilings. read more

We had a serious rat problem in our building, but Jerry and his whole team were there to save the day! Each one of them were incredibly helpful throughout this whole process and I couldn't have hoped for a more diligent and trustworthy crew! These guys knew what they were doing and I would strongly recommend giving them a call. To have them come out and fix our rat problem was worth every penny! Now we can rest easy knowing we won't have any extra house guests joining us this winter. read more

There is NOBODY better. Jerry is absolutely the best of the best- solved what was a decades long mouse problem and turned our house into a fortress. Don't waste your time with anyone else because he's the only guy for the job! read more

I literally cried when I found Jerry. We had multiple burrows around our deck and none of the pest control companies I called had a permanent fix! Jerry came to my house right away and addressed the issues. His crew came in a few weeks later and sealed up our deck. I had electrical, gas, and sprinkler lines all under deck and the guys were careful and had no issues. Jerry was always available to answer all my questions. I highly recommend this company. No more rats under our deck! read more

Knowledgeable. Kind. Patient. I was unnerved by a recent invasion and at my wits end. I couldn't find someone to help me immediately. I called and Jerry arrived within 15 minutes. He explained exactly what he was doing and why at every step of the way. He took a thorough look on the outside then gave me the rundown of the source of the problem and what my options are. He was really well informed and patient the entire time. He explained his treatment method and the science behind the blood thinning benefits. He was not only prompt and thorough, it was all very quick. I highly recommend Jerry for the work he did for me. Call Chicago Green Trappers when you solutions. read more

I have used Green City Trappers for years now, specifically working with Jerry. I cannot say enough positive things about this company and their service. They definitely get the job done and guarantee their work. I had an issue with squirrels at a rental property of mine. I used another company before going to Jerry but the squirrels kept resurfacing. Jerry safely removed all the squirrels, and mind you it was extensive, over 15, and then proofed the home so the squirrels could not return. Recently I contacted Jerry for a problem with squirrels and birds at my new place. As per usual, Jerry came out assessed the issue and quoted me a very fair price. The team came the next day to complete the work and I haven't had an issue since then. I am very critical and not easy to please. I also don't believe I have ever written a good review for any company but I can safely attest to the fact that if you have an issue with rodents or wildlife, Jerry will take care of it for good. You will no longer have an issue. Thanks, T. Mylynn read more

Truly a Superhero. On your worst day, on the day you can't take a deep breath. The day you can't imagine how to begin with a serious problem, that quite frankly terrifies you. "Who ya gonna call". ;-) Green Trappers. Jerry has an approach unlike any other. His knowledge is soothing, his calm keeps you calm. No matter the extent of the issue, rest assured, Jerry can and will attack it. A one of a kind gentleman and scholar, of a very difficult profession. read more

TLDR; Hire Jerry for all of your rat problems. Last May I went into the unfinished basement of my Uptown condo to grab a roll of paper towel... out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move - A RAT! I called multiple companies for estimates, and Jerry was the first to tell me what I wanted to hear - that he would be right over! Sure enough, within the hour, Jerry was at my front door. He inspected the basement, explained (as much as I was willing to listen) what rats are, what they do, how they work, as well as the full scope of work he would do. Turns out the one rat I saw was actually just the Justin Timberlake of a whole boy-band fan club's worth of Chicago sewer rats that took home in the foundation of my building (as well as the ceiling of my unfinished basement). SEWER RATS. Jerry put down bait that day, and informed me that he thought the bait would last a few days, but that I could call him if it was gone, and that he would return to lay more bait. Just for fun, (mostly to torture myself with the sight of more rats) I decided to check up on the bait a few hours after Jerry left, AND IT WAS GONE. I texted him, and he called me immediately to let me know that he would return the next day. This happened nearly every day for eight days (8 DAYS), and Jerry was at my condo with more bait every. single. day. Along with showing up every day, Jerry was also somewhat of a therapist and teacher through the whole ordeal. He validated my feelings about the rats (gross, I hate them), and he was a constant source of knowledge about any question I had (although gross, rats are kinda cool). After a week of baiting the rats, Jerry had a crew come in to reinforce the foundation of the basement to prevent future rat activities. Every interaction I had with Jerry was pleasant, and I was kind of sad when the whole thing was over because I liked having him over for rat stuff. The work came with a one-year guarantee. Hopefully I never have to see Jerry for rats again, but I would definitely hire him for other stuff... but like I said, I hope I never have to. read more

I have dealt with CGT twice and I wish I could give a good review. The first time I had a squirrel in my kitchen (don't ask). And the expert trapper showed up with leather gloves and a bucket and just tried to get the squirrel into the bucket. It was insane. But what can you do? This time Bree came out and first, super nice lady, and I hate leaving a negative review about her. But she was so wrong that it almost really caused a huge problem between me & my townhome neighbors. I have squirrels in my front roof. She said they were absolutely coming in from the neighbors roofs so they needed to get the work done. She didn't bring a ladder, never went on the roof to check for holes, but checked flashing junctions, vents. It sounded good. But my neighbor went up on the roof after I told him and he found a huge hole in the gutter exactly in the spot where i said they are living. And it's not on their side of the building. There was NO NEED for me to tell them that they were responsible to fix their roof. They are pregnant with twins, they really didn't need that stress. And I really don't need to have issues with them. So, I'm really, really unsatisfied and will never be calling Chicago Green Trappers again. read more

In Dec 2018 I contracted this company because squirrels were getting in my attic. Went with this company because they convinced the attic would be checked & disinfected. They showed up when it was dark to install the extruders - and a week later to remove them & seal the openings with steel plates. Wnen I asked about the attic - a worker tracked mud in all over the carpet & just sprayed something through the attic opening. Said he doesn't go into attic. This is a large 4 bedroom house - I don't believe that little spray covered the area. Few weeks later they came back & installed a trap as I could hear something going on in the attic. Came back a day later to remove it. In March I was having some exterior work done & they found 2 squirrels & babies in areas the steel plates had failed. My calls have gone unreturned. I'm very disappointed and would not recommend this company. read more

Chicago Green Trappers are amazing. I called in November about a rodent problem, and Jerry was at my house the next day to look around, develop a plan, and put down some bait until the guys could do the work. It was scheduled very promptly, and the guys came as promised that day. Once the project was underway, it was clear that we needed more work than we anticipated. That was scheduled promptly as well. Everyone who worked here -- Brian, Jeff, Brandon, and more -- was courteous and thoughtful, and they did a great job cleaning up. I've already referred three neighbors and my contractor, who has a lot of clients in our neighborhood. After trying to deal with rodent entry for decades, I now realize we were just using bandaids, rather than getting at the real problem. I am thrilled I finally found a company that understands how to do this work right, and do it masterfully. Highest possible recommendation. read more

I had a problem with mice in our attic and kitchen. CGT came in, the crew was polite and quick. They sealed off my house in a couple of hours. Since then i haven't seen a single one. If they come back CGT will be my first call. read more

Very helpful service provider. We had mice in the basement, squirrels in the attic, and rabbits under the deck. The squirrels and rabbits are no longer a problem due to the strong preventative solutions put in place. Haven't seen a mouse in the house since they helped us out and they come and clean and bait the basement periodically. read more

We used Chicago's Green Trappers for an unfortunate rat issue that we were faced with. Our town is basically overrun with rodents and our home is very old and we began hearing noises in our ceiling between the basement and first floor. I contacted an exterminator who came out and threw some bait around and told us not to call them for ten days. Well, that wasn't good enough, we kept hearing the noises and my anxiety was at an all time high. I contact Jerry and he came out the very same day. He walked through the entire property identifying the access points as well as potential future access points. He quoted me a very reasonable price to treat the property that day and come back in two weeks to seal up the entire house, sealing the house with iron, sillicone, concrete and everything else that these little horrible things cannot chew through. After the treatment, the activity was less and less and then gone finally. After two weeks, Green Trappers came out and sealed up the entire house, working tirelessly the entire day and got it all done. And honestly, this was all done during the holidays between Thanksgiving and Christmas, talk about service!! I waited a few weeks to post this to make sure there were no issues and I think its safe to say, we're in the clear. I also have to say that the communication was consistent throughout, I texted Jerry updates on activity almost every night and he was gracious and kind throughout the whole ordeal. Thank you so much! I'd refer anyone to this company!! read more

We have had them help remove a birds' nest living in the attic and seal up the entry point and they also came over within the same day when I called about a wasp's nest we had trapped between one of our windows and the outside storage window. They were very fast and professional. Will use again in the future. read more

I was blessed with squirrels in my basement! I was freaking out and just started randomly calling companies. This company was incredible! They not only called me back quickly, but also came out the very same day to start to resolve the issue. Very nice people, and great service. Would highly recommend them! read more

chicago greentrappers is an honest, professional, customer friendly buisiness. i highly recommend the company and wish them much sucess with all future endevors. An alround winner!!! im very impressed. read more

Jerry, the owner of Chicago Green Trappers is not only an extraordinary professional; he is an extraordinary person. I'm an extreme animal lover. I don't kill bugs. I save spiders. For me, the worst nightmare is getting mice or raccoons in the house, any type of critter, because I could never conceive of killing them, ever never. They must be rescued and relocated somewhere comfortable! My last house, I had a horrible mouse problem. One of the wide-eyed little furballs ended up in my bed. I felt something fuzzy crawling down my leg one night, and to my surprise, it was a rotund, white mouse. He was so relaxed, he just looked at me, didn't even try to escape. Imagine the mice in cartoons, the cute ones with big ears--yep, you got it. I had them throughout the house. I called Jerry in tears, and within a couple hours, he had his crew there. They came with "Have a Heart" humane traps. They laid them out every morning for a week, and then returned in the evening to release the traps into the forest preserve. We successfully rescued all of them, and then Jerry's team "critter proofed" the house inside and out using humane exclusion methods. Never had a mouse since. Chicago Green Rescue has done that for three of my homes now, and I would trust them with my life. My boyfriend and I just bought a house together at the bottom of a wild field facing Lake Michigan. Needless to say, our property is full of life! Lizards, raccoons, chipmunks, squirrels, possums, field mice, bats, you name it, they live there. Jerry of Chicago Green Rescue came out, inspected our entire home, and then sent his crew for their "critter proofing." I wouldn't live in a home that didn't have Jerry doing his thing first. Jerry also cares about and understands the emotions and perspective of his customers. He knows how deeply I love animals. He not only respects it, he honors it. And Chicago Green Rescue does so much more than critter rescue and critter proofing. They'll also come out and do an industrial cleaning if your home has been ransacked by lovely little furballs. In our case, our new home didn't have infestation of any sort, except it was really, really, REALLY dirty. That, on top of some rehab that caused more dirt, and I was losing my mind. Jerry said, "Jodee, it's okay, we can do that too. I'll send my crew and we'll get this place cleaned right up." So, listen to this, how amazing this company is--the crew comes and cleans brilliantly and beautifully attending to every detail, top and bottom, every square inch, ceilings, walls, wirings, and afterwards, there wasn't a dust web or speck of dirt even in the deepest, darkest corner. Suffice to say when they were done, my boyfriend and I were almost choked up by how much heart they put into the job. This company goes above and beyond any company I have ever worked with in the home space. I not only recommend them....I celebrate them. read more

Excellent work, very knowledgeable and courteous. Would use them again. I highly recommend them.

Great people to work with , had mice problems and they came and took care of the problems and there is no more mice.... very reasonable pricing and friendly read more

Chicago's Green Trappers Bats... Do you think you have bats in your attic? Have you had a few in your house? Or seen them flying around your house around dusk? I had a small colony of bats in my attic and let me tell you it is no laughing matter... not something to put off as it can lead to MAJOR property damage and potentially death of you or your family. Growing up my favorite comic book hero was Batman, just a regular guy trying to do what is right in honor of his parents. But the ugly truth to that story is Bruce Wayne had needed all that money for all the rabbis shots he must have had to get hanging out in that cave all the time. These guys are the real Bat Men! So real quick let's go over some facts, health risks, and property damage risks... Bat colonies are comprised of females, the males live out on their own, and because of this the colony can more than double each year. Bats are the main carriers of rabies, and most cases of rabies in America are caused by bats. Their teeth are very small and you won't always know if you've been bitten. In one of the situations where a bat got into my house, I woke up to a bat flying around my room. Do you have a baby or toddler? Your baby won't know if it's been bitten and won't be able to tell you either way. In the end that bat got away from me and I never found it so I couldn't get it checked for rabies. You see what I am getting at? So in the end I had to get a series rabies shots as a precaution because I had been exposed (Which is a lot more than what these guys are asking for their work) and I ended up sleeping in my tent in my living room for a couple weeks. If you start showing signs of rabies it is too late and you are pretty much going to die so do not wait if you are exposed to a bat or bitten! Only 6 people have ever survived rabies after showing signs of the disease. Additionally bats carry fleas and mites and guano can give you Histoplasmosis, a lung disease, elderly and babies are easily effected by Histoplasmosis. Property damage you ask? All sorts! Bats urine can erode wood, their guano can accumulate and the weight can cave in the ceiling below your attic. Dead bats caught in your walls will eventually rot and smell rancid. Depending on where in the wall the bat has died you might have to cut a chunk of your wall out. I can go on but you get the idea... Another surprising fact is that we need bats! Yes they can be a headache but the environment needs bats to eat the 1200 mosquitoes and beetles they can eat each night. So yes bats are essential to our environment and they are protected by law. So the only humane way to take care of a colony of bats is by putting in "exclusion doors" so the bats can exit but not get back in. Has to be done before or after the colony of bats has their babies. You DO NOT want to try using poison, as it is illegal and will only make the problem much worse! Also sonic sound machines don't do anything. Walking around my house Jerry pointed out each entry spot that he saw- and I honestly had no idea what he was pointing at, I had to have him point and explain where exactly he was looking. I would never have seen any of these entries as a bat can squeeze into a hole a quarter inch in size. So in conclusion I strongly recommend you call Chicago's Green Trappers they are absolutely worth calling, for peace of mind and so you don't have to spend even more money on rabies shots for you and your family or the eventual property damage a colony of bats can cause. I recommend these guys for their knowledge, experience, expertise, and humane methods. read more
