Burlington’s Reputable Wildlife Control Company
Dealing with raccoons, mice, or other animal infestations in your home or business can be stressful. Unfortunately, wildlife in Burlington is thriving, and resorting to killing these wild animals is cruel, ineffective in stopping an infestation, and can lead to legal penalties. That’s where our trained professionals come in.
We help ensure your home remains intact while we safely remove the animals and relocate them to natural habitats. Here’s why we are the best team to keep your home free from nuisance wildlife common in Burlington.
Comprehensive property inspections to understand the extent of infestations.
100% poison-free, eco-friendly, and family-safe removal services.
We understand wildlife behaviour and why they invade homes and businesses. After removing the animals from your home, we’ll seal it to prevent future infestations.
Ethical animal removal begins with a comprehensive inspection to identify the specific animals that have invaded your home, the entry points, and nests, and to determine how to get rid of them.
Burlington sits within Southern Ontario’s rapidly growing Golden Horseshoe region, yet the city continues to provide ideal conditions for many wildlife species to survive and reproduce. The large conservation areas, protected Greenbelt lands, wooded ravines, and watersheds connected to Lake Ontario create natural food sources, migration corridors, and shelter zones for wildlife. Other reasons for the thriving animal populations include;
Available nesting areas: Modern homes and older properties alike have roof vents, soffits, chimneys, and attic openings.
Accessible food sources: Bird feeders, backyard gardens, compost bins, outdoor pet food, overflowing garbage containers, and fallen fruit are easy food sources.
Urban coexistence bylaws: City Lot Maintenance Bylaws heavily regulate human-wildlife interactions, allowing animal populations to grow significantly.
Burlington’s Open Space Protection Plan: Since 2000, the city has maintained a significant open green space (wetlands and riverfronts), where wildlife thrives.

Learn how each of them could cause structural damage and effective prevention strategies.
RaccoonRemoval
Raccoons are a common nuisance across Burlington and the wider Halton Region. During inspections and removal, our team often finds them in attics, crawl spaces, garages, and wall cavities where they damage insulation, vents, soffits, and roofing materials. The cost of our humane raccoon removal services starts from around $300 but varies widely. So request a free quote.
SquirrelManagement
When responding to squirrel removal services, we often find these rodents in older communities with mature tree canopies and ageing roof structures. Common nesting areas include attics, wall cavities, soffits, and chimneys during colder months and baby season. If you spot a squirrel or notice other signs of infestation, talk to our team and get humane wildlife removal services in Burlington.
SkunkRemoval
Skunks are common throughout Burlington neighbourhoods, and we often find them denning in residential landscaping, decks, sheds, and low-clearance outdoor structures. Unlike raccoons or squirrels, skunks remain at ground level and create dens beneath porches, patios, crawlspaces, concrete slabs, and backyard structures. Let our team handle skunk removal to reduce the risk of their spray.
MiceControl
Mouse infestations are common in most neighbourhoods during fall and winter, as colder temperatures drive rodents indoors in search of warmth and food. Older homes, garages, basements, kitchens, crawl spaces, and storage areas often provide ideal nesting conditions for rodents. Considering mice reproduce quickly, don’t hesitate to contact our wildlife removal experts if you suspect an infestation.
RatManagement
Classified as pests, rats continue to thrive in parts of Burlington due to ongoing urban development, readily available food sources, sewer infrastructure, and expanding residential construction zones. They often chew electrical wiring, insulation, drywall, and stored materials. Request a custom pest control quote if you notice grease marks, burrows, hear scratching noises, or other signs of rat infestation.
BatControl
Burlington’s proximity to Lake Ontario, wooded ravines, conservation lands, and natural corridors supports a large local bat population. Bats commonly enter homes through roof vents, fascia gaps, chimneys, and soffits before settling inside attics and wall spaces. Because bats are protected wildlife in Ontario, we use humane exclusion methods and adhere to timing requirements.
OpossumRemoval
Virginia opossums have become increasingly common throughout Burlington, particularly in neighbourhoods closer to Lake Ontario, where milder winter conditions improve survival rates. These animals often hide beneath decks, sheds, crawlspaces, porches, and garages while scavenging for food overnight.
RabbitManagement
The most common rabbit species we encounter in Burlington homes is the Eastern cottontail rabbit. These rabbits are widespread throughout Burlington parks, gardens, residential lawns, and landscaped properties. Although rabbits rarely enter homes, they often damage gardens, flowers, vegetable patches, shrubs, and turf, and attract other wild animals.

What wildlife species are most common in Burlington homes?
Raccoons, squirrels, skunks, mice, rats, bats, and opossums are among the most common wildlife species found in Burlington residential and commercial properties. The city’s proximity to conservation lands, wooded ravines, Lake Ontario, and protected green spaces creates ideal conditions for wildlife activity year-round.
How do animals usually enter Burlington homes?
Wildlife commonly enters properties through damaged soffits, roof vents, attic openings, uncapped chimneys, gaps in siding, crawlspaces, foundation cracks, and loose fascia boards. Even small openings around the roofline or foundation may provide access to raccoons, squirrels, bats, mice, and rats.
A wild animal has entered my home. What should I do?
Avoid approaching, trapping, or attempting to handle the animal yourself. Keep children and pets away from the area, and contact our professional wildlife control team that can identify the species, assess how it entered, and determine the safest removal approach.
Can wildlife damage my home even if I never see the animal?
Yes. Some wild animals can remain hidden in attics, wall cavities, crawlspaces, garages, and other areas while damaging insulation, wiring, vents, roofing materials, or structural components. Unusual noises, odours, droppings, or unexplained damage may indicate there are wild animals on your property.
How long does wildlife removal take?
The timeframe depends on the species involved, where the animal is located, the number of animals present, and whether young are involved. After inspecting the property, our team will explain the removal approach and any exclusion or repair work that may be required.
Can wildlife enter newer Burlington homes?
Yes. Newer homes can still have vulnerable areas around roof vents, utility openings, soffits, siding, foundations, garages, and other exterior connections. During an inspection, we look for these access points along with signs of active wildlife activity.
