Feeling really secure and positive about our decision to hire Gates Wildlife Control to deal with a sudden and destructive raccoon 'invasion' of our dormers and attic. Wildlife technician Nick Parkin is a kind person and a consummate pro. He took the time to really listen to what was happening and to suggest the best course of action. From his initial consult to the install ...he was flexible, understanding and thorough. The installation of screens at raccoon-entry points was done cleanly and professionally. We are house proud and had concerns about how the mesh would look against the soffits and on our roof vents, but they were attached so securely and well. They look surprisingly good and do not at all detract from the 'look' of our roof and dormers. Most important will be how they work, of course, but I have confidence these screens will keep the varmints away. Not cheap !!!! Not at all....but professionalism and workmanship come at a cost...and tonight, we are confident we'll sleep ...peacefully critter-free... for the first time in a long time.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $1,200.00

Hi Marianne, Wow! Reading your review has made my day, week and month. I cannot thank you enough for writing such a comprehensive review of your experience with my company. I love your comment about Nick being "a kind person and a consummate pro." Your description of how the screens looked "surprisingly good" is an important aspect for future customers to understand when reading your review. We train our technicians to treat our customers houses as if it was their own. Your final comment about sleeping peacefully critter-free is beautiful, we often talk in our morning meetings that we are selling peace of mind to our customers. Having had raccoons break into my own house recently, I now truly understand what our customers go through, loosing sleep and being stressed about the damage that is occurring. Thank you for allowing us to humanely solve your raccoon problem. Sweet dreams! Brad Gates, B.Sc., Owner / President, HomeStars Best of Award Winner 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.
