Safe & Humane Wildlife Control For Your Home
Raccoons in the attic? Skunks under the deck? Squirrels in the walls? Urban wildlife may seem harmless until they make themselves at home. These animals can damage your property, disturb your peace, and carry diseases such as rabies or raccoon roundworms.
Removing unwanted wildlife is also highly regulated. For example, in some areas, it is illegal to remove a female raccoon and her kits from their nesting site until the young are able to leave with the mother. That’s why it’s best to call in the professionals.
Orkin Canada™ provides professional, humane raccoon, skunk, and squirrel removal services nationwide. Our local Pros understand the laws and best practices around wildlife control and always work to protect both your home and the animals themselves.
Why Raccoon, Skunk, and Squirrel Removal Matters
When wild animals invade your home, acting fast makes all the difference. DIY traps and deterrents often fail, and some animals—like raccoons with young—are protected by law.
Health Risks
- Disease: Wildlife like raccoons, skunks, and bats can transmit rabies and parasites.
- Odour & Irritation: Skunk spray can cause skin and eye irritation and is extremely difficult to remove.
- Pet Safety: Some wildlife may behave aggressively towards your pet, especially when cornered or protecting their young.
Home Impact
- Structural Damage: Animals can tear insulation, chew wiring, and damage roofing or siding.
- Noise & Disruption: Wildlife nesting in your attic or walls can cause loud scratching, squealing, or thumping.
- Re-Entry Risk: Even after removal, animals often return unless proper prevention is put in place.
How Does Orkin Canada Get Rid Of Wildlife In Your Home
Door Sweeps
Your local Orkin Wildlife Removal Pro may install door sweeps to block gaps under exterior doors. These door sweeps are made of durable pest-proof materials to seal the gap between your door and the floor.
Weather-Resistant Sealants
Cracks and small gaps around windows, doors, or the foundation are easy ways for wildlife to enter your home. Using a weatherproof, pest-resistant sealant, your local Orkin Wildlife Removal Pro will close these openings, keeping your home comfortable and pest-free.
One-Way Doors
If wildlife like squirrels, raccoons or skunks have found their way into your attic or shed, your local Orkin Wildlife Removal Pro will install one-way doors to ensure that wildlife can leave safely, but prevents them from getting back into your home.
Wildlife Habitat Modification
Your local Orkin Wildlife Removal Pro can make your property less attractive to wildlife by removing food sources and sealing entry points. This may include sealing cracks or vents and providing you with advice on reducing attractants like open garbage receptacles or pet food dishes that are left outdoors.
Humane Wildlife Trapping
If urban wildlife make their way inside your home, humane trapping can safely and legally remove them. Your local Orkin Wildlife Removal Pro will use the safe trapping methods to protect both the animals and your family, following all provincial and federal wildlife regulations.
Burrow Control
For burrowing wildlife, such as groundhogs or moles, your local Orkin Wildlife Removal Pro can apply safe, environmentally friendly methods to manage the issue.
