Wildlife Control & Removal
Humane trapping and relocation of raccoons, squirrels, skunks, opossums, and more — following all Ontario wildlife regulations.
The Problem
The Wildlife Problem
Wildlife in and around your home causes real damage: torn soffits, chewed wiring, contaminated insulation, damaged gardens, and structural weakening. Raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and opossums can also carry parasites and diseases, and their droppings create health hazards in attics and crawl spaces.
In the GTA, human-wildlife conflicts are common because development pushes into natural habitats. Animals learn that attics, chimneys, and sheds offer safe, warm shelter — and once they move in, they're hard to evict without professional help.
The Causes
What Causes Wildlife to Move In
Wildlife enters homes through damaged soffits, roof vents, chimney gaps, loose siding, and foundation openings. They're drawn by shelter (especially in spring when raising young and in fall/winter for warmth) and by food sources — garbage, compost, pet food, bird seed, and gardens.
Mature trees near your roof give squirrels and raccoons easy access. Unsealed chimneys and attic vents are open invitations. Once one animal finds a way in, others often follow the same route.
What Marsh Does
Full Inspection
We inspect your roof, attic, and exterior to identify the animal, locate all entry points, and assess the extent of the problem — including any nesting young.
Humane Removal
We use one-way doors and live trapping to remove animals humanely and in line with Ontario wildlife regulations. We handle nesting young carefully and legally.
Exclusion & Sealing
Once animals are out, we seal every entry point with wildlife-proof materials so they can't get back in — this is the key to a lasting solution.
Cleanup & Prevention
We remove contaminated insulation and droppings, sanitize affected areas, and advise on habitat changes to keep wildlife away from your home.
What to Expect
What You Can Expect
We respond within 1 hour and offer same-day or next-day inspections. Wildlife removal timelines vary — a single raccoon or squirrel can be removed in a few days, while complex situations (nests with young, multiple entry points) take longer. We follow Ontario regulations, including humane handling of baby animals during birthing seasons.
You'll get a written plan, clear pricing, and a guarantee on our exclusion work — if animals get back in through a sealed area, we come back.
