Did You Know?
WGC has a combined 60+ years of construction, 30+ years of bird biology, and 20+ years of structural bird work experience.Over 50% of structural property maintenance repair occurs between May and September.
Wild Goose Chase was founded in 1998 with a primary focus on Canada geese management. Over the years, their expertise has been recognized by commercial, retail, and industrial property managers in Chicagoland, Milwaukee, Iowa, Indiana, and North Carolina.
However, WGC is not solely a goose control company–WGC is experienced working with clients around addressing all pest bird problems, particularly gulls, pigeons, sparrows, starlings, and turkey vultures.
As properties have become highly concentrated in urban/ peri-urban environments pest bird problems have also become concentrated and amplified. Annually, pest birds cause $30-50 million in damages to properties, assets, roofs, and ventilation systems. Property managers are constantly balancing their property’s structural needs with increasing building/ environmental regulations and constrained maintenance budgets. Combined, WGC has 60+ years of experience in trade industries such as construction, roofing, carpentry, and welding as well as specialized fields including 30+ years of bird biology experience. WGC creates integrated solutions customized to meet client’s needs. Rather than solely selling bird exclusion products WGC partners with property/ building managers around creating solutions which meet their structural/ environmental needs.
