    Removal of squirrels

    The service was professional and friendly. Joel knew exactly where the entry point was for the pests. He was very knowledgeable and the squirrels were out in a couple of days! Great Job!

    Wildlife removal

    This company followed through on their comittment to come on the day discussed although we were having a winter storm that day! The assessment was quick and thorough and followup was excellant. They came by an extra time to check the one way window just because they were in the neighbourhood. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to neighbours and friends.

    A Racoon, or is it Squirrels in the attic !!!!!!!

    Justin was great! He even returned my frantic call (because I swear the critters were going to come through the ceiling!!!!!) And he was on his vacation! Nick was awesome! He took the time to check the attic and the roof. He closed off all the vents and pipe with wiring on the Fri and returned Monday to close everything up!! As the noisey critters left! Both Justin and Nick explained everything that was done and they were very professional and friendly. Thank you so very much!

    Squirrel in our roof.

    A squirrel got underneath our roof line and inside our roof. The amount of noise it was making was alarming. We called Gates Wildlife and made an appointment. Nick showed up on time. He was professional and polite. He set a one way door out for the animal and asked us to call him when we no longer heard anything. After getting home from the weekend, the roof was quiet. Nick showed up that day to seal the entrance off once and for all. We would definitely use these people again. Thank you Gates Wildlife

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Hojo, I can appreciate your comment "The amount of noise it was making was alarming". Some of our customers explain that the noise in the attic sounds like someone is moving furniture or even bowling. It makes me extremely happy to hear such positive comments about my technicians. I am extremely proud of the great work Nick does for my company! Hopefully you will not need our services in the future but if you do we will be happy to help you out. Thank you for your great review! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019.

    Squirrels in the attic

    Gates Wildlife called and emailed to confirm the appt a few days earlier. I was still out of the country and knew my neighbour also wanted them to look into animals under their back deck - Gates was right on it and coordinating the appts. Nick from Gates Wildlife, who actually came to the house, was great to work with. Very professional. He climbed the roof in February to put in a humane one-way door on the hole, put wire protection on 8+ roof vents and also went into the attic through my closet hatch to check inside (I was certain I saw a raccoon sticking its nose through the AC ceiling vent in my bedroom) and confirm there were just squirrels. He came back a couple days later to close the door permanently after checking with me if I'd heard any more noises. He also supplied photos of all the work he did. He also took the time to look into my neighbour's deck and potential animal access points, so he could give more informed recommendations (she wasn't there at the time). I could tell Nick and Gates in general, are experts at animal removal while seeing keeping the animals well-being in consideration. When he told me he had coaxed a skunk out from someone's stove in their kitchen the week before and it didn't spray him, he must be an animal whisperer :-)

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Ann, thank you very much for your detailed review. I can really appreciate the time it takes to write such a comprehensive report of the service you received from my company. Any future customers that find us on HomeStars will really understand what Gates Wildlife is about and how we treat our customers. I cannot thank you enough for that! It does not surprise me that Nick went to such great lengths to provide you with a solution to your wildlife problem. I am extremely fortunate to have him as a member of our incredible team. We do feel that we are "animal whisperer(s)" in a way. Having the opportunity to interact with the animals on a daily basis we learn how to "think like an animal". We use their natural behaviour to assist us in the removal process. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019.

    Skunk Removal From Inside of Home

    Today we had a stressful day when a skunk inadvertently entered our home through the garage. As we took our kids outside for school a skunk went through our garage up the stairs and into our home through the open door. He hid under our stove for hours while Nick from AAA Gates’ Wildlife Control gently tried to coax him out. He expertly had a cage waiting. It was excruciating to think that the skunk would spray inside our home and the possible damage it would cause but we prayed it would work and eventually Nick was able to get the skunk to leave and run into the waiting cage. Miraculously, the skunk didn’t spray even as Nick let him free in our backyard b”h. We are so thankful to Nick for his unwavering patience and commitment to removing the skunk from the inside of our home without incident. This isn’t the first time we have been helped by AAA Gates’ Wildlife Control. You’re amazing. Thank you!!!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Gail, it makes me extremely proud of my team, in this case Nick, when I hear stories like yours. As you suggested, it does take "unwavering patience and commitment" to remove a skunk from the inside of a home without incident. Probably the worst animal you could possibly find inside your home is a skunk, one wrong move and you are packing your bags and moving out. I have to agree with you, Nick is "amazing." Thank you so much for sharing this incredible story and for trusting us to solve your skunk problem. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019.

    We have always had problems with squirrels getting into our attic and garrage. Gates Wildlife Control was the only company that promised and overdelivered on their promise! Their wildlife expert Justin was very professional and I would recommend him and their services to all my family and friends.

    Pest and Animal Control

    We had a squirrel problem that Chris took care of by installing a trap door to allow the squirrels to leave. Chris was very patient with answering all my questions and concerns and was very professional. We were happy with the outcome and service. We would definitely recommend this company.
