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!

Animal Removal and Prevention

I live in a century old house and raccoons and squirrels are rampant in my neighbourhood. Ken has always been so professional, he is very accessible and always arrives on time, that's why I'm a repeat customer. He is very knowledgeable and explains very well what the problem is and how to solve the problem. We had been hearing scratching, chewing, squealing and hissing in our ceiling for couple of nights already. I called Ken and he showed up promptly. He repaired the window flashing, located the squirrel entry point and secured the entry. Finally he inspected the whole area. He has done a lot more than what I paid for. It is very comforting when he said he will take care of me. As a customer, I love a company who stand in their core values: honesty, sincerity, efficiency and integrity. No wonder this company won the Best of 2016 and 2017 Homestars award! Highly recommended! -Eva.

Wildlife Removal

After hearing scratching noises in our ceiling and walls, and laying awake for hours wondering what was above us, we called Gotcha just after 8 am on Saturday morning. Ken called us back within an hour. We discussed what we were hearing and the action that would be taken.
Ken was very thorough in explaining the process and made it our choice as to when we would like him to come assess the problem. We chose as soon as possible of course!
Ken showed up at around 1 pm the same day. He did an inspection and determined that we had mice. We had him treat the area, he inspected the rest of the house.
We haven't heard any more sounds since Sunday morning. Ken took care of our problem quickly and efficiently. No more sleepless nights!
I highly recommend Gotcha Wildlife services to anyone who thinks they may have some pesky critters residing in their homes.
Thank you Ken.
