    Hole in roof caused by raccoons

    Raccoons had chewed through roof . I called Gates as I was concerned a nest was in the attic. The technician(Jake) arrived and did a thorough inspection of the roof , fascia etc. He then went thru the attic carefully . He clearly explained his findings provided recommendations and solution. No raccoons were found . He then repaired the roof . A great job ! Jake was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Also all COVID protocols were observed. Highly recommend Gates .

    Racoon Damage

    I noticed a piece of soffit missing on roof over portico when I thought I heard something when I came out of the garage which caused me to look up. Fearing what could be in there I called Gates' Wildlife Control. A very nice lady made an appointment and on that day Nick came. He was very kind and professional and answered my many questions. He looked up into the area and said it was for sure a racoon that would have had the strength to do that. He could not see any evidence. He went into the attic and checked it for any evidence of babies. He then put in a one way door which he removed a couple of days later. While he was here and to allay my fears we also had him cover numerous vents so as to prevent any birds from getting in . While there was no evidence of racoons making their home up there one had cased the area out. Nick replaced the soffit and covered the area with galvanized steel. It is very neat looking and now we feel secure. Many thanks Gates Wildlife and Nick. We are thankful and completely satisfied with the work.

    Prompt service, professional, on budget

    We had a raccoon break through an old attic window (that had been damaged by a windstorm) on the third floor. We had three companies quote, mostly based on reviews, and AAA Gates was reasonable and able to complete same day (another quote was way higher, another slightly less, but quoted without visit). Raccoon and babies were removed, Mom picked up the babies from a heated box, attic was closed up. Very satisfied, would definitely recommend.

    Retrieval of my deceased pet

    I called AAA gates animal control in desperation to retrieve the body of my domestic deceased pet. After calling countless private animal control services, AAA got back to me right away. They were understanding, thoughtful, and offered service within a few hours. I’ll never forget the team’s kindness and providing me comfort in a situation that isn’t common for them. I highly recommend them for any professional and humane animal control needs.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Nila93, I am so sorry about your loss. While wild animals are our main source of business, helping out with domestic pets is something we deal with from time to time. I am glad that we were able to help out in a time of need.

    Chimney inspection and squirrel removal

    I had a very determined mother squirrel that was making a nest in my chimney - now just hot water heater vent. So happy to have found Gates listed on Toronto Wildlife Rescue website. Friendly from first phone call. Jake came out on the most miserable of days - cold and raining - he was friendly and informative, and got to figuring out what would be needed right away. Fortunately, the squirrel had not had any babies yet, so Jake cleared out what he could from the liner, and screened it off until i could get a new vent top installed. What a relief. Anyway, very friendly, informative and helpful. I would certainly be confident in referring the company to anyone who asked me. And, while i hope i don’t have any more issues, won’t hesitate to call them again.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi, I am glad you were able to find our contact info on the Toronto Wildlife Centre's website. They also do great work! I really appreciate your kind words for Jake and the work he did for you. I also hope you don't need our services in the future but if you should require wildlife removal we will be more than happy to help.

    Raccoon removal

    Nick came the morning after I called complaining about an attic intruder. Nick is personable and knowledgeable and got right to work assessing the house exterior and the attic. After finding evidence of a raccoon intruder he closed up the entry points and set up a one-way door baited with a peanut butter treat. He asked me to listen for the sound of babies and to report if I heard any. Two days later, Nick returned to check the one-way door which has a trigger showing it had been used. Yay! I am not hearing any more attic tenants! I hope my raccoon friend finds a new home in the conservation area across the street. Thanks Nick for providing a humane method to evict my furry friend.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jeannette, I appreciate your excellent description of how Nick solved your raccoon problem. Thank you also for your kind words for Nick. Brad Gates, B.Sc., Owner / President, HomeStars Best of Award Winner for 7 years in a row (2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015).

    Raccoon Removal

    Contacted Gates Wildlife Control as we had mother raccoon and babies in our attic. They came out the next day and explained the process. They went in the attic and rescued the babies (4 of them) and put them in a cage that the mother could get to. And just like he explained, the mother took the babies and relocated them. We had screens put on each vent and it was all done in 2 days! Remarkable service and would highly recommend this company.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jonesey, I love the fact that you referred to our service as "Remarkable", you just made my week. Thank you for explaining the process of reuniting the mother with her babies on the outside of house, this will help potential customers understand our humane approach.

    Removal of red squirels from house

    Gates employees are very pleasant to work with and efficient at what they do. They inspected two properties for me and in both cases red squirels had taken up residence in the roof. They put in the "one way" doors and the squirels were removed

    Hello, thank you for allowing us to humanely remove wildlife from not just one but two of your properties. I also appreciate your comment regarding how pleasant we are to work with.

    Quick response, Professional and Courteous Service

    A raccoon invaded my house and was walking around inside the walls. My internet search for help led me to the YouTube channel. I was expecting a YouTube star, but Nick came. :) Nick explained the problems and the solutions very clearly and got to work right a way. The follow up work was done promptly and professionally as well. Nick was very professional and courteous and became a real star to our family.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi JC, it is unfortunate that I wasn't available to provide you with my autograph. On the other hand you had someone as equally capable come and solve your raccoon problem. Thank you for speaking so highly about Nick and my company. If you haven't already subscribed to our Youtube channel, you should. You won't want to miss any of our adventures.
