The Removal and Pest Control Process For Each Animal

Most customers require wildlife exclusion to be installed to hinder future entries after the wildlife have been removed. The following explains the removal, exclusion and equipment retrieval process for each form of wildlife.

Mice, rats and other small rodents

  • Any mice or rodents that are easily accessible will be removed by our technicians if possible.
  • Applying exclusion measures, all entry points will be sealed up and exit doors will be installed at major entry points.
  • If required, we will repair any damage caused to the roof, vents, insulation etc.
  • We will decontaminate any affected areas where they were dwelling.
  • 1-way exit doors will be picked up within a few days after all mice and rodents have exited your home.

Raccoons and squirrels

  • If squirrels or raccoons are living in, or are stuck somewhere in your home or property, they will be captured and removed.

Other Forms of Wildlife

Occasionally there are other forms of wildlife that home owners request that we remove which are not in their attic or walls. These animals can include ducks, chipmunks, baby deer (fawns), coyotes, geese and foxes. Generally we can remove these particular animals from your property, but may not be able to guarantee they won’t return.

All animals are treated humanely, and our removal and exclusion process is done in accordance with federal, provincial and municipal by-laws. For more information, feel free to contact us now, or if you have a wildlife issue, set up an appointment with us on our pest control quote page.
