Services
Skunk Removal
Our skunk removal specialists use one-way doors and humane traps to safely relocate skunks from residential properties. We address mating season challenges by implementing specialized protocols for mother skunks and their kits. After removal, we secure entry points and decontaminate affected areas to eliminate lingering odors that might attract new skunks.
Raccoon Removal
Professional raccoon removal involves identifying access points and installing exclusion devices that allow raccoons to exit but not re-enter. Our technicians handle challenging situations during baby season using ethical relocation practices. We repair structural damage and sanitize contaminated areas to restore properties to pre-infestation conditions while preventing future intrusions.
Bat Removal
Bat removal requires specialized expertise due to health risks associated with guano. Our certified technicians use exclusion netting and ultrasonic devices to humanely remove bat colonies. We implement multi-phase solutions that include sealing entry points, installing deterrent systems, and thorough decontamination of hazardous waste materials while complying with wildlife protection regulations.
Squirrel Removal
Squirrel removal specialists address chewing damage to electrical wiring and structural components. We use live traps and exclusion methods to remove squirrels humanely while protecting your property. Our prevention strategies include reinforcing vulnerable areas with metal guards and implementing scent deterrents to keep squirrels from returning to previously infested spaces.
Wildlife Prevention
Our comprehensive prevention service includes property inspections to identify potential entry points and risk factors. We install chimney caps, vent screens, and roof guards while trimming overhanging branches that provide animal access. The service includes written reports documenting vulnerabilities and corrective measures implemented to maintain wildlife-free environments for residential and commercial properties.

Over 2 weeks ago We had uninvited guests called Racoon's. They had made home some how just above our laundry room which share the same wall as our garage. We found someone from Kijji who came next day he was unable to determine if the uninvited guests we had were actually racoon's as late February is not exactly the time of delivery of babies for racoon's so he ruled out racoon and thought it was squirrel and close the small vent to dryer.
Since, we had no experience in either Squirrel nor racoon's we just followed whatever he said.
But, the noice kept increasing especially during night's my

Louis is awesome! This was the classic battle of man vs nature, and man defintely won this time! Jokes aside I would not hesitate to recommend Louis to anyone and everyone that needs his services, and if I ever find myself in need of some animal control I know who is going to be on my speed dial. My wife and I had started to hear "scratching" in one of the rooms of our townhouse. One day when I was mowing the lawn, I noticed a hole in our soffit on our roof overhang with birds flying in and out. I called a few animal control places on homestars and Louis was one of the most responsive out of

If you have any wildlife problems in your property, do not hesitate to call Louis. He is efficient, reliable and quick... I hired 3 other companies before him and there is no comparison possible. He is the best! Call him and you won't be disappointed.
