    Raccoon in Attic

    My problem was a raccoon in my attic. I called AAA Gates Wildlife Control and their service from beginning to end was excellent. The raccoon had gained entry from a roof vent. A day earlier my neighbour had advised me that a roof vent was slightly pried open (assumed it was the wind) and I promptly climbed up and pushed down the cover. That night (and all night), there was nervous pacing on both sides of the second floor bedroom ceiling. First thing in the morning I called AAA Gates WC, and fortunately Chris was able to arrive within an hour. Chris was very friendly, knowledgeable and competent. He assessed the situation (actually first tried to shoo it away but without success), provided recommendations, a written estimate, and efficiently completed the work which included securing all the vents with screens, except the entry vent where a one-way door was temporarily installed complete with a makeshift ladder for the raccoon to more easily climb out. Early that night the raccoon exited the attic. A day later, Chris returned to secure the last vent. I was very pleased with the work done by Chris and AAA Gates Control. The approach and humane methods they employ are efficient and effective. I will definitely call them again if necessary and I highly recommend them. PS. It is amazing how easily raccoons can remove roof vent covers (even without damaging them); I would recommend that you have them secured permanently if raccoons are near your property.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Gino, WOW! What a thoughtful review. Thank you for mentioning how vulnerable roof vents can be on a home. Unfortunately, not too many people call us to secure their roof vents prior to having an animal problem. I also appreciate the time you took to explain in detail how the job unfolded and for praising Chris for a job well done. I am glad we were able to help out in such a timely fashion.

    Squirrels in the wall

    Couldn't sleep at night...Called Gates and Chris came over identified and resolved the issues! No more squirrels in the walls and attic...Great Job!!! Would definitely recommend GATES WILDLIFE CONTROL...The family can sleep peacefully again. Thanks Chris!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Peter, thank you for mentioning the fact that the animals prevented you from getting a good night sleep. Anyone that has had children can identify with how bad sleep deprivation can be. When the animals are scampering above your head in the attic, it is only natural to wonder "what are they doing up there?" Your thoughts soon go to the possibility of chewed wires and damaged insulation and then there is little chance of a restful sleep. I am glad we were able to restore peace in your home. Thank you for complimenting Chris and for hiring our company! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Squirrels and Chipmunks in Attic

    We had rodent problems in our roof and found out that the made their way into our attic--we could hear them in the walls as well of our two story 30 year old home. Called about 5 pest control companies. AAA Gates Wildlife Control was very receptive and Chris came at the agreed upon time, excavated the premises and set the appropriate one door traps so that the critters could leave and not enter. He then came back and sealed the entry points AND provided us with a one year warranty. No issues now and peace of mind! Thanks AAA Gates Wildlife Control!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Hasan, it pleases me to hear that you did your homework before choosing to hire our company. Most homeowners do not compare companies but rather hire the first one they find on the internet. Unfortunately, because the wildlife control industry is not licensed, they stand a good chance of hiring a fly-by-night business. I also like your comment that you now have "peace of mind", I often tell our customers that we sell peace of mind. It can be very unnerving to hear animals running about and chewing in the attic. Thank you for your excellent review and for hiring my company! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Squirrel

    I had a squirrel in the overhang ... AAA closed up the entry area with a one-way door .. They knew a lot about squirrels... The removal was professional, efficient, humane, and compassionate. I highly recommend AAA Gates Wildlife Removal.

    Installation of screens to prevent bird nesting

    My call was answered and a service call was set up for the following day. I was given a choice of several appointment times and the technician arrived promptly at the set time. He inspected the house and provided me with a written quote prior to commencing the work. The exterior vents were repaired, sealed with silicone and the bird screens installed in a professional manner. I'm very pleased with the job and have already recommended them to a friend.

    squirrels in the attic

    Squirrels found their way into my attic. I called Gates Wildlife and they were able to drop by at the end of the day. Chris clearly explained what needed to be done and how much it would cost. Service was friendly and efficient and I am completely satisfied with the work done to resolve the problem.

    Removal of and prevention for animals coming into my attic.

    I used AAAGates' Wildlife Control many years ago and recommended them to my neighbour. I found them to be very professional and appreciated the interaction with Chris when he told me what he was going to do. Would definitely recommend them again.

    wildlife control

    We found AAAGates Wildlife when they were recommended by another wildlife control company that couldn't deal with our squirrel-in-the-roof problem because they don't work on three-storey houses. Our experience with AAAGates was fantastic from start to finish. Nick gave a free inspection, took photos of the holes and explained what was needed and how much it would cost. We appreciated that the company removes animals humanely. Nick checked the entire exterior of the house and found other holes, removed bird's nests, even repaired a piece of flashing free of charge. He was polite, informative and very thorough, giving us full paperwork and descriptions of his work and recommending other preventive measures we might wish to take in spots where our old wooden eaves were vulnerable. His rates were very reasonable so we agreed he could come back and do that work when he checked the gates he had set to keep the squirrels out. Nick came back twice to make sure the work was completely finished. Each time, he was specific, punctual, patient with our questions, fast, friendly and totally efficient. Our problems are gone. I would recommend this company to anyone.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi James, you made my day! Everything you mentioned in your review touches on how we train our technicians to approach each and every job. Thank you for your detailed explanation on how your job unfolded from beginning to end and for complimenting Nick on his work ethic. I will definitely be reading your review in our meeting tomorrow morning. I am sure Nick will be proud to hear your review read in front of his co-workers. Thank you for hiring my company.

    Safe and humane removal of red squirrels

    Justin came to my house and in no time had found a number of entrances to my roof that another wildlife company missed. He was polite, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. No hesitation with a recommendation for this company!

    Answer from pro:

    Hello, I really appreciate that you took the time to write a review and for your compliment of Justin. I am sorry that the other company was unable to solve your problem. No one ever wants to go through the aggravation of having to hire two companies to get a job done right. Thank you for your business. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President
