    Squirrel Removal

    We thought we had mice in our kitchen bulkhead, but after having pest control came onsite for service, the noises not only continued on a daily basis but got louder and louder. We called Gates as we knew we were dealing with a larger animal. Nick arrived promptly, checked the entire exterior and roof of our home, and recommended we screen in all of our roof, dryer, stove and plumbing vents. There was no sign of roof damage or entry points. He also let us know that we were missing the chimney cap from our fireplace stack, so we have since had that replaced. It was a bit of mystery as to how a larger animal gained access between the walls, but after Nick screened all of our entry points, his investigative skills noticed that the vent from our basement bathroom had been taped shut as the cap was missing, and there was red fur on the underside so we now knew we were dealing with a red squirrel mom. Nick attached a 1-way door and baited it with peanut butter. I monitored it throughout the day and sure enough a mom and 2 juveniles made their way out. I still heard noises in the bulkhead that evening but by dusk the following day 2 more juveniles had made their way out. All was finally silent. The next day, Nick returned, removed the 1-way door, and recapped/sealed the entry vent. We had the optimal, humane outcome possible, largely due to Nick's knowledge and perseverance in solving our problem. Highly recommend Gates!

    Humane Wildlife Removal & Prevention

    A squirrel mother had entered into the kitchen ceiling through an external flashing panel over sliding doors and had proceeded to produce babies inside the ceiling. I googled Humane Wildlife Removal and was impressed by the information and positive reviews on Gates' website. Pete was the Gates' specialist who arrived at the house promptly on the appointed day, and did a thorough examination of the house exterior and educated me on the seasonal squirrel birthing period along with the timeframe when the babies would be mature enough for the mother to remove them from the house. Pete provided an estimate on the work required to both humanely resolve the squirrel problem, including the use of a one-way exit only device, and then to subsequently secure/repair the point of entry. Pete also examined the exterior of the home and identified preventative measures to prevent further wildlife damage/entry into the house, including: replacement of 2 exterior vent covers which had been broken and which birds had nested in, along with installation of a bird-proof vent cover, and the removal of several tall trees which had grown at the house's foundation and which both squirrels and birds were using to reach the roof and vents respectively. Pete completed all of the work to a high professional standard and was a pleasure to deal with, exhibiting excellent customer service. Thank you!

    Squirrel nest in chimney

    Jake attended and confirmed squirrels in the chimney, who were able to squeeze through a gap in the chimney cap. (Chimney no longer in use with the furnace). As he was checking further, 3 baby squirrels exited. Placed a one way door for egress, then returned a few days later to confirm they were all out, and installed a chimney cap that should now keep them out. Also suggested screens on the roof vents as an additional preventative measure for any future attempts to nest. Very pleased with the work and the information provided.

    Raccoon removal

    We had a raccoon in the attic that we thought we would be able to get rid of, but we could not. Googled raccoon removal, Gates was the first to come up. I was impressed with their web site. I gave them a call and they were able to come out in a couple of days. They investigated the situation, and they proposed a solution, and our problem was gone. Justin was great to deal with. The only minor issue we had was the scheduled time was eight, but they did not come to twelve. I would recommend Gate Wildlife removal.

    Fast and Professional

    Had squirrels in our attic. They made a hole in our roof and made a party for all their squirrel friends. I randomly found these guys on Google and booked them because the website looked legit. They showed up on time and did a great job. They explained what they did, and followed up. It was more than I was expecting to spend, but the squirrels haven't come back. The party is over for the squirrels, but the work performed was effective and sleeping through night without the squirrel parties is priceless.
