    Squirrel Evacuation

    I contacted AAA Gates Wildlife Control, after searching both online and via HomeStars for a company that would humanely evict a squirrel family that had taken up residence in the soffit area of my roof. Joel, was thorough in investigating any potential problem areas in the roof line. He was friendly, knowledgeable and he very patiently answered all of my questions. All areas with issue were sealed & a one way exit with a wood plank was set up to assist the younger squirrels out. A few days later Joel returned, sealed the hole & leveled off the eaves trough which was on an angle, likely from the squirrel activity.Thanks so much Joel!!! The service was excellent and very importantly, also humane. Much appreciated! I would highly recommend this company.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Laura, I am glad to hear that you did your homework before deciding who to hire. Unfortunately, the wildlife control industry is inundated with fly-by-night companies. Thank you for complimenting Joel on his work and on being humane. Our customers and the animals are very important to us. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Squirrel in Chimney

    4 years ago I gave a review regarding a squirrel problem. Last year we called Gates again for a squirrel problem in a different location. We had a DIY cap on an unused kitchen chimney, which had become detached. I was hearing pitter-patter and scratching sounds in the kitchen and in the room above it. Dan from Gates cheerfully clambered on to our high roof and tall chimney. He quickly determined that a squirrel had gone down the chimney , but because of a clay liner at the top, it couldn't get back up. He lowered a rope, installed a one-way door and food bait. A couple of days later, he came back, saw that the food was eaten, and put a secure cap on the chimney. No more scratching, no more squirrel. Gates is more expensive than many pest companies, but everything is done in a safe and professional way, and the problem is solved.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Linda, thank you for your detailed description of Dan's work and for trusting us to humanely solve your squirrel problems on two separate occasions. Please allow me to comment on your statement that we are "more expensive than many pest control companies". The vast majority of wildlife / pest control companies quote a low price over the phone and charge for an on-site estimate. Once they are on-site, their price to solve the wildlife problem becomes much higher than what they quoted on the phone and if you don't proceed, you must pay for the estimate. At Gates Wildlife Control we offer a free, no obligation, on-site free estimate with no surprises. We pride ourselves in offering very competitive pricing and will beat our competitions written estimates, for comparable work, by 10%. I hope this helps you understand that our competitions seemingly cheaper prices over the phone are in reality the same or more expensive than ours. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Bird Removal

    I had birds in my soffit and in the medallion on my house. Within 2 days I had an appointment and the birds taken care of. The soffit was screwed in properly and the medallion secured with a grate. This was the best and most efficient service I ever received. I have already recommended the company to everyone I know. What a pleasant experience this was!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Melanie, some people reading your review might not believe it to be real, but it is!! I am thrilled to hear that the service we provided you "was the best and most efficient service I (you) ever received". I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to write such kind words. Your review is proof that we are doing everything possible to provide quality service to our customers. You made my year! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Raccons

    Highly recommend. Raccoons discovered in my backyard. I thought they were moving in under the sunroom. My landlord asked me to call Gates'. Prompt/convenient assessment. Pete was very helpful, professional and honest. He let me know not active problem, why animals are in my yard and how to reduce possible future visits. Please call this company for any wildlife problem you will be completely satisfied. Pete provided his expertise for this visit but left me with confidence. Gates' will be the first company I call and refer without second thoughts.

    Wildlife Removal/Prevention - Roof

    I emailed the office and was contacted the next day. Tara in the office was pleasant and efficient and the assessment was done the very same day. The quote was very reasonable. I loved that they were not only going to fix the one problem area, but secure potential problem areas on my roof to prevent any raccoons from getting in in the future. The whole process was seamless and easy. I was terrified to tackle this problem, but Tara, Pete and Joel made it so easy. I would highly reccommend!! Thanks!

    Raccoon Removal

    Chris came to my home within 24 hours of calling the service. He was very professional. The work was guaranteed and when I had to call back a few months later he was at my home promptly. Great customer service and great price. I would recommend you call AAA Gates Wildlife Control before anyone else.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi dalyclan, thanks for highlighting the fact that we stand behind our guarantee. If the animals happen to come back so do we! I really appreciate that you took the time to write such a complimentary review. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Wildlife control

    Chris was professional, competent, personable (and informative). He takes pride in his work and did a thorough job. He also removed some hard-to-reach vines and touched-up some caulking, which was very helpful.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Monty S, thank you for your kind words regarding Chris and for mentioning that his work went beyond what was required. While we are up the ladder, we don't mind doing minor repairs that our customers might need doing. I am glad he could help. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Removal of a dead raccoon

    Nick did a fabulous job! Nick surveyed the area to see what was the best possible way to access the crawl space and minimize the damage to lattice. He carefully removed the lattice below the veranda to access the carcass. There was a huge dead raccoon to remove, which had begun to smell very badly. Nick was a professional through-out considering the very bad smell. Nick was punctual and courteous. Thank you Nick!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi M., thank you for taking the time to compliment Nick on a job well done. It is unfortunate that this big old raccoon decided to give up the ghost under your veranda. While removing dead animals is not something we look forward to doing, it is one that we take as much care with as if it was alive. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Wildlife removal

    Blake from Gates Wildlife removal was very professional and courteous with my rrd squirrel problem, price he gave me was fair and work was done as per discussed, very satisfied with his work and will definitely recommend Gates Wildlife Removal to my friends and family. ...also they will do follow up and warranty all their work which is great

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Singhw, thank you for your review and for complimenting Blake. I especially like your comment about us following up on our work. Unfortunately, this is not standard practice in our industry as most companies simply install a one way door and assume the problem will solve itself. It is important to us to return a few days later to ensure that all the animals are out, and yes we do warranty all of our work. Thank you in advance for any future referrals. Owner / President Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    remove racoon from attic

    My neighbour recommended this company to me when racoon was in my attic. When I contacted the company the technician came in and did a great job to get the racoon out of the attic and fixed the damages the racoon made on the soffit and roof. At the time of working, there were more work needed to be done than originally estimated, the technician insist on honor the original contract and finished the work with no added charge.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Andy, what a great review. You made a very important point in your review, "there were more work needed to be done than originally estimated, technician insist on honor the original contract and finished the work with no added charge". We stand behind our estimate and regardless of whether we later find additional areas in need of repair, we will not increase our price. Please thank your neighbour for recommending us to you. Owner / President Brad Gates, B.Sc.
