About Us
Two wildlife biologists who have been solving Chicagoland’s animal problems together since 1999.
We pick up where the city leaves off.
Brandon Kulosa and Tony Miltz started Animal Trackers Wildlife together in early 1999, after both studied wildlife in college and went to work in the nuisance wildlife field.
That training still shapes how we work. Understand the complete picture around your home, the wildlife, soil, water and trees, and manage the environment rather than just the animal. It’s why we pair removal with proofing, so the problem stays solved.
