Prefer we contact you? No problem, please fill out our form below.

Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection

We begin by thoroughly inspecting your home, checking for entry points, nests, and signs of wildlife activity. Whether raccoons have torn through roof vents or squirrels have chewed into the attic, we’ll identify the problem and develop a targeted solution.

Step 2: Safe & Humane Wildlife Eviction

Using ethical removal techniques, we gently guide animals out of your home. Whether through one-way doors, live trapping (where necessary), or careful relocation of young animals, we ensure a humane approach that follows all provincial guidelines.

Step 3: Secure & Reinforce Your Home

Once the wildlife is removed, we seal all access points using high-quality materials like galvanized steel and reinforced mesh. St. Catharines’ changing weather won’t compromise our repairs, ensuring your home stays wildlife-free.

Step 4: Cleanup & Prevention

Animals leave behind messes, from nesting debris to droppings that can attract more wildlife. We clean and disinfect affected areas, then offer prevention strategies—such as securing garbage bins and trimming tree branches—to keep your home critter-free.
