    Wildlife Removal

    One of the outside balcony walls in my building had a large bat clinging to it for over two weeks. We were unsure if it was still alive but we were worried about it staying there and freezing so we called around to various wildlife removal/pest control companies but didn't like the responses we got from them. A friend recommended AAA and they came out right away, charged a very reasonable price and treated the bat with the utmost care before transferring him to a licensed wildlife rehab facility. We all were very impressed with the knowledge, professionalism and the humane treatment of the animal. I would highly recommend them to anyone with wildlife issues and won't hesitate to call AAA in the future if needed. I also would like to thank Brad Gates for his advice on the phone and the staff person that came out to get the bat- sorry I can't remember his name.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi D. Duncan, thank you for taking action and getting help for an animal that should not be outside at this time of year. Bats should be hibernating inside a house or cave during the fall and winter months. The world could use more compassionate people like you. Thank you as well for writing such a complimentary review. Brad Gates, B.Sc., Owner / President

    Covering up Old Chimney

    This company is great! After seeing them on CBC talking about their care in the well being of animals during their removal, I definitely wanted to hire them when I was told by my neighbour that they saw a raccoon scurrying down my chimney. I called one afternoon, and made an appointment for a few days away. But, they ended up having an opening the very next day so came and took care of the problem immediately. Luckily the raccoon was already gone and out from the chimney, leaving them only to have to put a cover on the top, and also cover up the neighbours as well, as it is a row house and the old chimneys are attached. They did this quickly and efficiently, and for a much lower price than I expected. Would definitely call these guys again if I find any more furry critters infiltrating our roof! Thanks again AAA Gates!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Carly, I really appreciate the fact that you also care about the well being of the animals. The raccoon must have overheard you book the appointment for us to come out and decided to "high-tail" it out of the chimney that night. Thank you for taking the time to speak so highly about my company! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Squirrels in the attic/eavestrough

    We are pleased with the service. Did a good job - professional/courteous/efficient. We heard the squirrels trying to get in again and AAA came back twice for us and each time checked to make sure they cannot get in again and even added another wire stopper in another location just in case.

    Hi Dorothy, thank you for taking the time to write such a great review. As you discovered we stand behind our guarantee and please do not hesitate to call us again if you have any future concerns. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Wildlife Problem

    We have red squirrels in the attic. We had someone come out first thing in the morning and give us a quote. They took care of the problem, solved the issue and worked to make sure we would not have that same problem in the future. They did a great job and we are pleased with the work.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Tracy, red squirrels can be the most challenging of all the critters we deal with. I am glad you are pleased with our work. Thank you for your terrific review. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Animal Removal

    We have been fighting the squirrels for 7 months. We had another company (with a good reputation) come and assess last spring. We were told they had easily discovered the entry point and they charged us $300.00 to put a one way door over the hole and return 10 days later and remove it and wire mesh the hole. The squirrels were still there. They said for $1000 they would return and do another run of wire and they hoped that would solve the problem. I did not ask them to return. WE live in a semi and the neighbours did not believe that there were squirrels keeping me up at night. I saw AAA Gates at another house down the street one morning enroute to work last week. I sent an email as soon as I got to work and within minutes I had an incoming call from Joel who was able to hop onto my roof and do an assessment. He called me and while he was on the phone said he was watching the squirrels go in a hole on the neighbours side of the semi roof. He checked our roof and said there were no entry points. I asked him to speak with the neighbours if they called him. They did and today - less than 1 week later the problem has been solved. While Joel was on the roof he noticed our vent cap was not in place. I just got an email from him saying he had located it on the roof and screwed it into place for us. Joel also noticed that there was a tree on our property that needs to be trimmed so squirrels and racoons can not jump up easily and he suggested our eaves be redone as they are coming away from the roof. All things that I will do. He sent me a picture from his phone of what he had done. Incredible customer service. Honest. Reliable. Fair pricing. Thank You.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Eileen, it is unfortunate that the first company you hired could not solve your squirrel problem. The wildlife control industry is not licensed therefore there are many fly-by-night companies that do not have the experience. Thank you for speaking so highly of Joel and my company. You can continue to count on us through the duration of your guarantee and beyond. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Raccoon Removal

    Last Friday we discovered that we had raccoons in the ceiling of our first floor. I called AAA Gates Wildlife Control and they came that same day - within 3 hours of my call. Boris found the entry point and put in a one way door. He came back several days later to check and the raccoons were gone. Great job done on a very timely basis!!!

    Hi Joan, thank you for complimenting Boris on a job well done. I also appreciate you taking the time to write a terrific review. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    urban wildlife control

    My partner and I have successfully used Brad's services in the past and have no current wildlife issues, thanks to AAA Gates. I also want to commend Brad for his sponsorship of the new Furbearers’ Defenders’ podcasts coming out of B.C. It’s great when commercial enterprises have humane commitments to animals and to the people concerned about them. Thanks, Erika Ritter

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Erika, I want to thank you for your kind words. I consider myself very fortunate to have turned my childhood passion into a successful business. I have been promoting animal welfare throughout my entire career and when the Furbearer Defenders approached me my initial thought was what a great opportunity to work with an amazing organization and get the message out.

    addressing a squirrel problem

    Last year they addressed the issue with squirrels in the soffit and this year they addressed it at no cost. Boris and the whole team were really amazing and they are outstanding to deal with! I was recommended them by a friend who I now consider a great friend for giving me this recommendation!!!

    Removing Squirrels from roof

    After using other wildlife removal services that were extremely unsuccessful we decided to try AAA Gates Wildlife control. We're upset we didn't call them sooner. The squirrels were gone in just a matter of days, and everything was sealed up correctly. The follow ups were greatly appreciated too. It's been 4 months without any squirrels. Highly recommend.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Brendan, It is unfortunate that you did find a solution the first time around. I am glad that we were able to provide you with a speedy solution. Thanks for taking the time to write a great review. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President

    Wildlife problem

    I called AAA Gates Wildlife Control on Aug.21,2013 because of a racoon problem and the company sent Justin to my house in Brampton the same day. What a relief! Justin was very knowledgeable, professional, honest and polite. We discussed preventative measures to ensure racoons won't become a problem again. I had the roof and plumbing vent mats screened. AAA Gates Wildlife Control has been around since 1984 and I would recommend this company to my family and friends. Great job Justin. Sally from Brampton.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Sally, thank you for speaking so highly of my technician Justin and for recommending my company to your family and friends. I appreciate the business. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President
