Humane Wildlife Removal &
Control Services
Wildlife in your home? We identify the problem, remove the animal humanely, and address how it got inside.
Serving homeowners across Toronto, GTA, and Hamilton.
OUR COMPLETE APPROACH
Removal is only one part of the job.
The process starts with finding the animal and entry points, then moves through removal, exclusion, and repair as needed. The goal: solve what is happening now and reduce the chance of the same entry point causing another problem.
Inspect & Identify
Identify the animal, activity, and likely entry points.
Humanely Remove
Use ethical, humane, legal methods for the situation.
Exclude & Prevent
Address vulnerable access points for prevention.
Repair & Restore
Repair wildlife damage and affect areas as needed.
START WITH THE ANIMAL

EXCLUSION & PREVENTION
Remove the wildlife. Then address how it got in.
Wildlife can use gaps, vents, damaged roofing, chimneys, and other vulnerable areas to enter a home. Exclusion focuses on identifying and addressing those access points after the immediate animal problem is handled.
The purpose of exclusion is to address those openings so the same access points do not stay available to wildlife.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
Residential wildlife problems: what homeowners should know
Wildlife can enter homes for food, shelter, and nesting space. Understanding where animals get in and what can happen afterward helps explain why effective wildlife control goes beyond simply removing the animal.
Why wildlife gets into homes
Raccoons, squirrels, rats, mice, and other wildlife can exploit vulnerable areas around a home.
Common access points include openings in the roof, gaps in siding, cracks near the foundation, vents, and uncapped or
damaged chimneys.
Some animals are strong climbers; others can fit through surprisingly small openings.
An inspection helps identify both the animal involved and the areas it may be using to enter the structure.
What wildlife can damage
Once wildlife gets inside, the problem may extend beyond the animal itself.
Activity in attics, walls, roofs, and crawlspaces can affect insulation and building materials.
Rodents and squirrels may gnaw on wiring or other materials, while nesting and
droppings can leave affected areas that need attention.
In some situations, damage repair, cleanup, or attic restoration may be needed after the animal has been
What humane wildlife control involves
The first step is to identify the species and understand how it is using the property.
The appropriate removal method depends on the animal and the situation,
and may include one-way doors or other species-appropriate techniques.
After removal, exclusion addresses vulnerable entry points. If wildlife has damaged the home, repair or restoration can then address the affected areas as part of a more
