The City of Palos Hills does not trap wildlife. Any wildlife trapping must be done by an Illinois State licensed trapper. A list of trappers can be found below. Please note that, in many instances, “Critter Prevention” is something that can be done by the resident by following some simple steps; keeping your yard well-maintained, closing off “open” areas underneath decks, patios, etc; making sure all holes in garages/sheds are sealed off. The elimination of alley garbage pickup should go a long way in reducing the critter presence.

The City of Palos Hills does not remove dead animals from private property. Removal of any dead animals on private property is the responsibility of the property owner.
