    Removal of Skunks

    GREAT JOB! We had just moved into our new home, and there were skunks living under the shed. We have a small dog and no time for SKUNKS. Nick was excellent and very knowledgable he came out accessed the situation and explained what would be done and a quote was given. Within a few days everything was done and NO MORE SKUNKS! I have to see these two gentlemen worked very hard at getting the work done in extreme heat!! I Have noticed some skunks trying to get in again but NO SUCCESS!!! Thank you Nick and gates wildlife. We would recommend this company for sure, and we will be using them again if WE MUST in the future!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Stephanie, what a great review! Thank you for you kind words regarding my technician Nick and for explaining how the job unfolded. I also have a dog and can appreciate why you would have "not time for SKUNKS", it is no fun try to de-skunk a dog that has been sprayed. Hopefully you won't need our services in the future but if you do we will be happy to be there for you! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015 & 2016

    Humane animal handling

    I love Gates! When a squirrel appeared in my home-office, I asked the Humane Society to recommend an ethical company to move it back outdoors. Gates solved the problem fast; they clearly love and understand animals, so they know how to maintain the boundaries between critter space and human space kindly but firmly.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Sarah, your review is the first time someone started with "I love Gates". I like it! Thank you for mentioning that the Humane Society recommended us to you. With over 33 years in business we have earned the respect of animal welfare organizations as the most caring and humane wildlife removal company. Thanks again! Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    Prompt, Humane removal of red squirrels from my attic.

    Heard scratching and scurrying noises in my attic. Previous company I called said it was mice after looking in the attic and put bait there. Noises became worse and worse. I then called Gates Wildlife. Blake came and diagnosed the problem in minutes WITHOUT entering the attic or the house. He found the entry and was spot on with the animal that was the perpetrator - red squirrels. Blake even took the time to educate me on the difference between the red squirrel and the black and grey squirrels. Blake neatly and efficiently fenced off the area but allowed for an exit but no entry. Blake even returned the next day - the Friday before the holiday weekend - to make sure all is well. He came today and checked - all is well. No sounds that keep me awake in the evening or rattle my nerves in the morning. All done humanely - no harm to the squirrels. Polite, professional, knowledgeable and A+++ service. Wouldn't it be amazing if every company was as knowledgeable, courteous and professional. Thank you!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Peg, I cannot thank you enough for writing such an amazing review. I appreciate how you described the high level of service you received from us. When the lives of animals are involved it is important for us to follow up in a timely manner and make sure the job is proceeding as planned. It is unfortunate that the previous company couldn't diagnose the problem and ended up putting poison in the attic. I am glad we were able to evict them before they ate the bait. Thanks again and I love your rating of a "A+++"! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015 & 2016

    Squirrel Excavation!

    Justin with Wildlife Control was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Some squirrels managed to sneak their way into some exposed brick and decided to make a home for themselves there, they'd also damaged some wiring. Justin was able to very quickly assess and resolve the situation for us. He was very courteous, professional and was very thorough in his explanations to us. I would highly recommend his work and their organization!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi rb, you mentioned one of the biggest concerns about having squirrels live inside homes, they chew on wires. I am glad you called us to rectify the situation before the squirrels caused a fire. Thank you for speaking so highly of Justin. I consider myself fortunate to have such a qualified team of wildlife technicians working with me. Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    Squirrel's in the attick

    Last fall we heard squirrels trying to break in through our eaves and called Gates, they came promptly and solved the problem. very efficient and courteous. Moreover a couple of weeks back we noticed what looked like another hole at the opposite end of the house, the rep came out and checked but found that the hole was old and was not accessible - as there was nothing for him do do he left and didn't charge us. Excellent service both times....

Thank you for your great review and for taking the time to explain that you were not charged for our visit. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015 & 2016

    PROFESSIONAL, EFFICIENT, RESPECTFUL

    Had sounds coming from the roof over a particular window and what appeared to be coming from the attic during the night. Thought it might be an animal. Called AAA Gates because they had done excellent work expelling squirrels from my attic in the past. The team that came to my house were so pleasant and professional. They did a thorough inspection of the roof and the window location. They discovered that the problem was not animals but a structural problem in a window which caused sounds when it was windy. The problem has been corrected. They are an honest, experienced and professional company. I highly recommend them.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Moore, it is not uncommon for our customers to hear noises in their homes that they think is caused by animals. Sometimes the noise is caused by tree branches rubbing against the roof or the beeping sound of a low battery signal from a smoke detector. Whatever the cause it is often our job to determine if it is animal related and if not we still try to rectify it. Thank you for your review. Brad Gates, B.Sc.

    Bird's nest removal

    I hired Gates to remove a long standing bird's nest from my vent and prevent squirrels from entering the attic space. They arrived assessed the situation, provided a fair quote and completed the job courteously and professionally. I would highly recommend them to deal with any unwanted wildlife!

    Attic Raccoons

    I had raccoon's living in my attic, and after using another contractor unsuccessfully, I called Gates' on a Sunday morning. They returned my call within an hour and were on location the next morning. They inspected the area, closed up several holes with heavy duty mesh and put in a one-way door to facilitate the raccoon's departure. They checked back on several occasions and once the raccoon (and babies) were gone, they came and sealed everything. If you ever have a need for any wildlife control, these are the guys to call first! Professional, knowledgable and reasonably priced for the service and expertise you get. I would definitely recommend them and never hesitate to use them again if I need to.

    Hi Rob, thank you for your description of our services and for your terrific endorsement of my company. Much appreciated! Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President - Awarded HomeStars Best Of 2015 & 2016
