Wildlife Removal & Exclusion
Humane removal of raccoons, squirrels, skunks, bats, and other wildlife, with exclusion repairs so they cannot return.
Homeowners and property managers dealing with animals in attics, soffits, chimneys, decks, sheds, or crawl spaces.
About this service
Wildlife in an attic, chimney, or under a deck is a structural problem as much as an animal one. The lasting fix is humane removal followed by sealing the access points the animal used.
We use one-way doors and timed exclusion that respects maternity seasons — so young are never trapped inside — then reinforce entry points with heavy-gauge materials wildlife cannot chew back through.

Wildlife Removal & Exclusion FAQs
Common questions about wildlife removal & exclusion in Southwestern Ontario.
Is your wildlife removal humane?
Yes. We rely on one-way doors and exclusion rather than harm, and in spring we check for and account for young before sealing, so animals are not trapped inside.
Why do you seal the entry points instead of just removing the animal?
Removal alone leaves the access open for the next animal. Sealing and reinforcing the entry points is the permanent fix, which is why exclusion is part of every wildlife job.
Can't you just seal the hole right away for bats?
Not during maternity season — roughly June to mid-August flightless pups may be inside. We exclude humanely once they can fly so none are sealed in, in line with how protected bats must be handled.
