I don't write reviews.....However, ...

I typically don't take the time to write reviews, however, Ken is simply a no nonsense, on his game professional when he is dealing with his customers.
Please don't waste your time calling anyone else (specifically ICE ) --Just call Ken at Gotcha and he will take it from there. -- ICE tried to sell me far more than I actually needed and I am so glad they did not call me back.
Ken, came into my home, quickly examined the issues with the little critters and most importanly, only quoted to seal up only the points of entry and not charge 6x's as ICE quoted to seal every nook & cranny on the outside of the house.

Ken's got the job and I would never call anyone else again.
I just wish Ken also did landscaping lighting, irrigation systems, lawn maintenance and everything else i need help with because he is the professional i want to deal with.

Ken's simply the best. ----Ok, I'm done.

Racoon Removal and Roof Repair and racoon proofing.

I have used Ken twice now and his services have been excellent.This last time was particularly complicated as the raccoon had babies and Ken had to go into the attic not once but twice (on different days) as the mother had split up the litter into two different locations.Ken was extremely patient and responsive throughout the entire process,including answering calls on Easter Sunday!!! and extremely knowledgeable regarding all phases of the removal,repair and proofing.Highly highly recommended!

Excellent Service

I called Gotcha Wildlife, thinking we had squirrels in our chimney. They arrived promptly the next day to discover a big fat racoon. Ken's team worked very hard to remove the stubborn and sleepy racoon before putting a one-way door at the top. The next day, we were free of raccoons rustling in the chimney. I would highly recommend the Gotcha Wildlife team to friends, colleagues and family.

Fast and reliable

I called and left a message, Ken got back to me quickly. I was about to begin showing my home for sale, and had a squirrel in my ceiling over the dining area. Kens guys showed up the next morning and did what they do best, installed a one way door for the squirrel to leave by. They had to come back once, to double-check where the squirrel was getting in. Happy to say now, squirrel is gone, sold my home!

Help!! Raccoons are tearing my roof apart!

I called Ken on Mar08 at 5:12p and left a message indicating my problem with raccoons tearing off the shingles on the ridge vent of my addition. He promptly returned my call at 7:30p and said that he would be out to my house between 10:00a-12:00p the next day. He and his team (Peter & Conor) arrived at 9:55a to assess the damage and luckily the raccoons had not clawed their way into my roof.

Ken explained to me that since the raccoons had not actually made it into my roof, laying traps without having a roof entry point was not an option. Setting up traps on my deck in an attempt to catch the raccoons prior to them getting up on the roof was also ruled out as it would more than likely net me a few of my neighbour's cats. He explained that his plan would be to repair the damaged shingles and then install some protective wire over the ridge vent.

In anticipation of the repair needed, I had purchased a bundle of matching shingles to replace those that the raccoons had tore off and Ken & his team proceeded to install them. After re-shingling, Ken secured the newly installed shingles by installing 24 feet of galvanized meshing overtop of the ridge vent. After all things were completed, they cleaned off the roof of all torn and damaged shingles which I, in turn disposed of.

This raccoon damage began in January with only a few shingles being torn off. Now with the warmer weather, they returned with a vengeance and were determined to claw their way into my roof. The Gotcha Wildlife Team provided prompt & courteous service and relieved my stress by responding so quickly to my problem. Ken said to me that if I encounter any further damage to the ridge vent, I can rest assured knowing that I'm covered by the 3-year warranty that his company provides. I would highly recommend Ken & the Gotcha Wildlife Team to anyone in need of pest removal, pest prevention or roofing repair.

Racoon removal

During Family day weekend, i called Gotcha Wildlife people, & they confirmed that they will be in the morning hours on Family Day. And, they were right on time & did a superb job. My house attic had 1 or 2 racoons & there was a hole in our shringlers; the team of Kenneth & Peter put a one way door & did metal shielding as well. Since then there is no voice & trouble of racoons. I definitely recommend their services to others.

Persistent Pesky Raccoons

We experienced a recent attempt at a break-in; thankfully the work Gotcha Wildlife did for us last year held out. In revenge, our persistent raccoon left his mark: bent siding, insulation bits on the roof. At the time of our call to Gotcha this time, we weren't sure if he'd gotten in or not; they returned our call within an hour and were at the house shortly after. They resealed the opening, restuffed our insulation, gave us great advice - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any wildlife situation, and Gotcha will always be the first people I'll call. These guys know their stuff!
