    Removal of birds nest

    I called Gates Wildlife to remove a birds nest in my 2nd floor washroom vent. Josh came to help me out, he's a great guy and not only did he remove all the nesting from the outside, he also made sure everything was alright from inside of the house as well. Great service, highly recommended.

    Wildlife Control

    Nick from AAA Gates Wildlife Control came by our home yesterday and was extremely thorough as he tried to find the point of entry of a squirrel. He climbed up high ladders into awkward spaces, went into the attic, and examined the top of the roof. He was very friendly and professional and I'd highly recommend his services.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Nathan, as you pointed out it is not always easy to find a hole the size of a tennis ball on a large house. It sometimes take considerable effort and investigative skills to find where they penetrated the building envelope. Thank you for writing a review and for complimenting Nick on his professionalism.

    Raccoon removal

    I have used this company twice and was very satisfied. Nick, Josh and Peter were extremely cordial young men, a pleasure to have at my home. They educated me about raccoon behaviour and removed my visitors (and on the first occasion their babies) promptly and in a humane way. I wouldn't call any other company.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jeannie, thank you for your repeat business and for complimenting Nick, Josh and Peter. I like the fact that you mentioned that they educated you about raccoon behaviour. We feel it is important that our customers understand why animal do the things they do and that they are just trying to coexist with us. Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    Wildlife removal

    Squirrels in the roof nearly drove me crazy. I have a metal roof and thought it was safe, but black and grey squirrels found weak spots and got in. Pete was fantastic - found a number of access points and screened them off. Silence! Then it started again, digging right over my head at night. Thought the squirrel would come through the ceiling! Pete came back, found a fresh hole that a red squirrel had made, and sealed it off. My theme song through Christmas was "Silent Night", and now it is "Silence is Golden". Thanks Pete - you're the best!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Janet, while we strive to solve all wildlife situations the first time around they sometimes their find their way back in. Your review demonstrates how we stand behind our work and that we are not satisfied until you, the customer, are satisfied. Thank you for complimenting Pete and I am glad we were able to return peace and quiet to your home. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    SQUIRREL REMOVAL

    2 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED FOOTSTEPS FROM MY BATHROOM VENT. I STARTED TO BE WORRIED WHEN THE VENT STOPPED WORKING. "JOSH" FROM GATES COMPANY DISCOVERED A HOLE ON MY VENT ON THE ROOF. HE DISCOVERED ALSO THAT THERE'S A BOX OF SARDINES BROUGHT BY SQUIRREL IN MY ATTIC. THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE BECAUSE HE HAS TO COVER 7 VENTS OF THE ROOF PLUS THE REPAIR OF THE HOLE FROM THE VENT AND THE REMOVAL OF THE SQUIRREL IN MY ATTIC.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Dianne, squirrels breaking into an attic through a roof vent is very common. They have learned that it is an easy way to gain access into a nice warm and protected space where they can give birth and raise their young. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

    Sealing hole in roof

    I had a squirrel in my roof. I love animals and wanted to ensure the little critter was going to be treated humanely and kept safe. I hated evicting the squirrel, after reading the website and their commitment to the safety and humane treatment of the little critters I was persuaded to proceed. They were prompt, took the time to explain things to me and seemed genuine in their caring. I would definitely recommend this company for any one who has compassion.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi, I understand and really appreciate the fact that you cared about the "little critter" living in your home. I am sure that if the squirrel could talk, she would thank you for hiring us. I want to thank you for taking the time to highlight our commitment to providing humane solutions. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Squirrels in the attic

    We'd had squirrel troubles in our attic before, and I attempted to solve the problem myself, which was of course the cheap option but about a month later we had squirrels running around and waking us up in the middle of the night. We called Gates Wildlife and they send someone right away to take a look. Boris was extremely nice, conscientious, and fast. He gave us a quote and promised he'd send someone to fix the issue as soon as the weather conditions were less treacherous. Sure enough, after things melted a bit, Josh came by, and took a look himself to make sure that the notes were right. He also evaluated the rest of the roof for trouble areas, and even fixed one of them for free. He was efficient, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I'd definitely recommend Gates Wildlife.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi brockcorners, as you found out, wildlife control is sometimes best left to the professionals. I cringe when I hear stories about homeowners hurting themselves attempting to solve wildlife problems. Even in the best of conditions, working on ladders can be dangerous. I am glad you decided to stay on the ground. Thank you for your detailed explanation of how your job unfolded and for complimenting Boris and Josh. Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    Squirrel removal from inside walls.

    I have used this company a few times in the 40 years I have lived in this house. Josh, the repair person, was personable, knowledgeable, direct, professional and competent. He gave me a complete story on the removal process, reviewed the whole roof area for other possible areas of infestation and got on with the job. Prior to leaving Josh checked back to make sure were understood the next steps.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jon, thank you for being a loyal customer and for complimenting Josh on a job well done. I really appreciate you taking the time to describe the process so other customers reading your review will know what to expect. Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    Removal of Squirrel's

    This company is amazing, look no further. They were prompt, educated, and got rid of my problem in less then a week. Chris was so helpful and on his first visit got straight to work. The best part was his price, way more reasonable compared to his competitors. Thanks again for an amazing job!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi, thank you for referring to my company as "amazing". That is quite an endorsement. It makes me happy that we were able to provide you with a solution that was considerably less than what our competitors charge. Wildlife removal need not cost an arm and a leg, although some of our competitors seem to think it does. Thank you for your great review. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best of 2015 & 2016!

    Suspected squirrel in attic

    We suspected we had a squirrel in our attic after hearing a lot of of movement. Chris did a very thorough check of our roof, vents, soffiting and attic, and found no sign of anything up there. He even let us know we were missing some insulation around our skylight. Friendly, great service, and he arrived exactly on time.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Rick, sometimes our customers hear the animals on the roof of the home and think they are inside. A thorough inspection will determine if any action needs to be taken. In your case they were not getting in and we were happy to provide you with our free inspection. Thank you for your review. Brad Gates, B.Sc.
