Have a Wildlife Problem? We Know the Fix

Experts with Extensive Experience in Wild Animal Control

  • Raccoon Removal

    Raccoons are common throughout Hamilton, especially where there are residential garbage bins, mature green areas or corridors, and older houses with weak or damaged rooflines, attics, and soffits. Whether these animals have invaded your crawlspaces, attic, walls, or are tearing up your yard, let our team use humane traps and remove them safely.

  • Squirrel Control

    From our experience, the most common squirrel species in homes across Hamilton is the eastern grey squirrel. Other common species include the American red squirrel and southern flying squirrel. While squirrels can be found in nearly every backyard, they are more common in Dundas Valley, Crown Point, Gage Park, and other neighborhoods across the city. Schedule squirrel removal with us.

  • Skunk Removal

    Unlike raccoons and squirrels, skunks aren’t good climbers. You may not find them in your attic or roof, but they can dig under structures, concrete slabs, and foundation gaps. If you have spotted the striped skunk, the only skunk species common throughout the city, contact us. Our skunk removal specialists will use various humane methods to evict them from their denning or shelters.

  • Mice Removal

    Did you know that a pair of mice can produce about 11 litters per year? Given a litter averages 5-6 mice, their population can grow quickly. That’s why we recommend professional removal services as a long-term solution for house mice, which are common throughout the city. Our experts will inspect your home to safely remove the mice and seal entry points to prevent future infestations.

  • Rat Control

    Recently, Orkin Canada ranked Hamilton 11th of the rattiest cities in Ontario. If you have spotted the brown or sewer rat (the most prevalent rat species) in your yard, don’t hesitate to contact us. These critters pose a significant health risk and property damage. You can count on us for professional property inspection, rat control, and exclusion.

  • Bat Removal

    A bat infestation in a home or commercial property poses serious health risks due to their toxic waste and the disease-causing pathogens they carry. Unfortunately, Hamilton’s proximity to the Niagara Escarpment offers a breeding site and sufficient food source, which is why the city has the largest bat population in Ontario. If you have a bat problem in your home, our team can help.

  • Opossum Control

    Climate change and other environmental factors have led to an increase in the opossum population, specifically the Virginia opossum, in Hamilton and across Ontario. They are more common in the Great Lakes region because they are unable to physically withstand severe cold. Our experts can safely trap the opossums, remove them, and seal all the entry points to prevent them from returning.

  • Rabbit Removal

    The most common rabbit in Hamilton gardens and backyards is the Eastern Cottontail rabbit. These critters are a nuisance for homeowners and carry parasites like ticks and fleas. Let our team use humane rabbit control techniques that’ll help keep these pests away from your home. Schedule a home inspection today.

Wildlife Removal FAQs

Get informative answers to questions related to property inspections, wildlife removal, and prevention options.

  • How much do wildlife control and removal services cost?

    The exact cost of humanely trapping and relocating wild animals from homes varies depending on the specific wildlife and the extent of the infestation. For example, trapping and relocating a single animal may cost up to $100. However, a job that requires the removal of multiple raccoons or skunks with babies may cost hundreds of dollars.
  • What animals can humane wildlife removal solutions handle?

    At Critter Hero, we handle a wide range of nuisance animals, including rats, skunks, raccoons, birds, bats, and squirrels. These animals often hide in attics, crawl spaces, and walls while searching for shelter and food. When left unchecked, wildlife infestations can cause contamination, damage, and noise on your property.
  • How does humane wildlife removal work in Hamilton?

    The entire process of humane wildlife removal focuses on the safe relocation of the animals instead of extermination. At Critter Hero, we use non-poisonous or non-toxic methods, such as hand removal, one-way exclusion doors, and sealing entry points.
  • How quickly can the Critter Hero team complete humane wildlife removal in Hamilton?

    The time needed to inspect, trap, and remove wildlife from Hamilton homes or businesses depends on the specific animals that have invaded your home, their nesting activities, and entry points. In most cases, wildlife removal can be completed within the first visit or a few visits.
  • Can you prevent the wildlife (after removal) from returning?

    Once we remove the wild animals, our team will identify the entry points and seal them to prevent their return. These entry points could be around the roof, vents, attic, foundation, soffits, or other areas in your property. We use durable materials like steel mesh, flashing, and vent covers to prevent re-entry.
  • What happens to the raccoons, squirrels, and other animals after wildlife removal?

    Here at Critter Hero, we use humane wildlife services to ensure the safe relocation and exclusion of animals from your property. When we trap them safely and alive, we release them back into their natural habitats or guide them off your property via a one-way exit.
  • Do wild animals damage homes and business properties in Hamilton?

    Wild animals can cause structural damage to homes, including chewed wiring and damaged insulation. Additionally, wildlife can introduce diseases and viruses into your home, leading to serious health risks, such as respiratory issues.
  • There’s a dead wild animal in my home. How should I handle it?

    The City of Hamilton only deals with sick, injured, or deceased animals. If live wildlife has invaded your property, we’re your trusted wildlife removal specialists in Hamilton and beyond. Contact us.
