Prefer we contact you? No problem, please fill out our form below.
Step 1: Full Home Inspection
We start with a thorough inspection of your home’s roofline, foundation, and attic to pinpoint entry points, animal activity, and damage. Whether it’s raccoons in the crawlspace or skunks under a porch, we’ll find the issue and create a custom removal plan.
Step 2: Humane Animal Eviction
Our team safely removes wildlife using species-specific techniques like one-way doors, live trapping (when required by law), and hand-removal of babies to ensure a stress-free relocation.
Step 3: Reinforce & Secure Your Home
Once the animals are gone, we reinforce entry points using durable materials like steel mesh and flashing to prevent future intrusions. With Oakville’s varying climate, we ensure repairs withstand storms, snow, and animal persistence.
Step 4: Cleanup & Prevention Strategies
Wildlife can leave behind droppings, debris, and strong pheromones that attract more animals. We sanitize and deodorize affected areas while providing expert recommendations on keeping wildlife away—like securing outdoor waste bins and trimming overhanging branches.

Is feeding wildlife illegal in Oakville?
Yes, Oakville banned feeding wild animals in 2023 under its Lot Maintenance By-law. This includes raccoons, squirrels, and stray ducks on both public and private property. The only exception is songbird feeders, which must be kept tidy to avoid attracting rodents. Fines range from $300 to $500, and violations can lead to court summons.
Will the Town of Oakville remove raccoons or other wildlife from my attic?
No, Oakville does not remove wildlife from private homes. The town’s approach is “living with wildlife,” meaning residents must hire professional wildlife control services. The Oakville & Milton Humane Society only responds to sick or injured animals and can refer you to a humane wildlife removal expert.
Who do I contact for an injured bird or bat in Oakville?
The Oakville & Milton Humane Society (OMHS) handles wildlife rescue in town. Call 905-845-1551 for injured or orphaned raccoons, bats, or birds. If the situation poses an immediate public safety risk, contact Halton Police or 911.
Does Oakville have a rat or mouse problem?
Like many Halton communities, Oakville has seen increased rat sightings, especially in older neighborhoods and near construction. The town enforces strict no-feeding bylaws and advises homeowners to keep yards clean, secure garbage bins, and eliminate food sources. Rodent control on private property is the homeowner’s responsibility.
Do I need a permit to remove wildlife from my property?
No, Oakville follows Ontario laws, which allow homeowners to remove nuisance wildlife without a permit. However, you cannot harm or relocate wildlife beyond 1 km, and all removal must be done humanely. Hiring a licensed professional ensures compliance with these regulations.
My neighbor is feeding wildlife, and now we have rats. What can I do?
Oakville’s no-feeding bylaw applies to both public and private property. If a neighbor’s actions attract pests, you can report it to Municipal Enforcement Services. Bylaw officers may issue warnings or fines to stop the behavior and prevent further infestations.
What unique wildlife challenges does Oakville face?
Oakville’s large greenspaces and proximity to Lake Ontario make it a hotspot for urban wildlife. Residents near Sixteen Mile Creek and Joshua’s Creek often report raccoons and bats nesting in attics, while lakeside neighborhoods experience seasonal bird and rodent issues. The town emphasizes prevention over removal, encouraging wildlife-proofing homes to reduce conflicts.
