Raccoon removal
I called Gates to remove raccoons that ate a hole in my roof of a back room. Prompt, very business like and friendly. They solved my problem and followed up with repairs

Skunks!
Had a family of skunks move in under the house. Wanted them safely gone (and not harmed). Also wanted the perimeter reinforced si problem does not re-occur. Chose Gates because Toronto Wildlife Centre recommends them (and I’ve seen friends who use other providers find orphaned babies after the job was done). They were on time, pleasant, discussed everything, checked for critters, and did a great job reinforcing the perimeter.

Thanks Pete, for your outstanding service and advice.
We like wildlife and our backyard visitors include raccoons. Recently a neighbour noticed them on our roof, so we called Gates to look into it. We chose Gates because of their reviews/stories, and because they call themselves the "Animal's choice" (which was important to us). Pete easily surpassed "ALL" our expectations. He arrived on time, and we found him courteous, knowledgeable, honest and competent. Thankfully we didn't need any removal. But he checked and animal-proofed our roof, and also checked our "old" deck to advise us on the options and the best course of action. Very highly recommended!

Thanks Peter!
Technician Peter was a pleasure to deal with, efficient & professional. Took the time to fully explain the situation then did a thorough and complete job of removing a sparrow's nest without disturbing the fledglings. Would highly recommend AAA Gates Wildlife

Wildlife Removal
There is nothing worse than hearing something scurrying about inside your living room wall. After listening to my story and conducting a thorough on site inspection, all done to pandemic protocol, Brad and Cassandra of Gates Wildlife Animal Control Scarborough, explained options to me and gave me an estimate of costs. As I watched them work it was evident that Brad and Cassandra were an experienced team who were knowledgeable in animal proofing areas of concern and also skilled in the humane removal of pesky critters which for me turned out to be an entire family of red squirrels. Rest assured Gates Wildlife Control know what they are doing and provide an honest, reliable, trustworthy service to obtain quick results. Call them. I'm glad I did!

Knowledgeable and easy to work with
The urban wildlife (raccoons) have been doing damage to our roof, window screens, eavestroughing downspouts. Gates representative Jake was able to assess how they were accessing our second and third floor and offer suggestions on how to deter them climbing. He also suggested screening possible common points of entry: roof vents and bathroom exhaust pipes. He was able to do the installation of the screens right away. Very professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful.
Answer from pro:
Hi Judith, it sounds like the raccoons were using your house as their jungle gym. It was a wise decision to animal proof your home based on how much raccoon activity was on and around your home. Thank you for your review and for complimenting Jake on a job well done.

Professionals
AAA Gates removed a mamma raccoon and baby from my attic. I live next to a ravine with plenty of wildlife so while they were here I had them "wildlife proof" my home by blocking all of the usual access points. Money well spent. So glad they make every effort to reunite babies with mother. Nick took care of business. Great attitude, and clearly knew what he was doing. Highly recommended!
Answer from pro:
Hi Seb, it makes perfect sense to wildlife proof your home. Animals are mini home inspectors that are constantly exploring homes for the easiest way in. Thank you for your excellent review and for your compliments for Nick.

Raccoons in the attic
Nick is our hero! His love for wildlife is very evident! Nick worked hard at helping a mother raccoon relocate her two little kits. Our home is safe and secure. Now we have peace of mind that these raccoons were treated humanely and with dignity! Thanks Nick! G. Carbone
Answer from pro:
Hi, thank you for highlighting my company's number one principle. Above all else treating the animals we deal with humanely is extremely important to us. Thank you for referring to Nick as your hero, that is kind of you!

Looked After Raccoon Problem
We had a mother raccoon giving birth to four babies behind our fireplace brick beginning of March of this year. We called Gates Wildlife Control and Blake came out to help us. He looked behind our fireplace flue with a mirror and saw the little family and told us that it could be June before they would leave. Each week he came by and inspected their den and gave us suggestions. I would follow through with what he suggested each week. By the beginning of May the raccoon babies were very active and exercising. Then one night they went up our chimney onto our roof and were gone. The next day Blake came by and put grates over our chimney and seven vents. We are now fully protected and feel relieved. Blake was very patient with us and kind. We would highly recommend their company for anyone requiring this type of service. Jeff and Joanne Shimotakahara
Answer from pro:
Hi Jeff, thank you for explaining how your job unfolded. In most cases we can easily remove the raccoon family from the bottom of the fire place. On occasion we run across situations like yours where we cannot access the babies, to remove them, so we need to let the mother raise them until they can climb up the chimney on their own. I also appreciate your kind words for Blake, it means a lot. Brad Gates, B.Sc., Owner / President, HomeStars Best of Award Winner for 7 years in a row (2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015).
