Wildlife often leaves behind damaged insulation, torn soffits, contaminated attics, and chewed electrical wiring. We repair affected areas, remove contaminated materials, and restore your property.
Removing wildlife is only part of the solution. We reinforce vulnerable rooflines, vents, soffits, foundations, and other common entry points using durable exclusion materials.
Our team focuses on identifying the species involved, assessing the extent of the damage, locating entry points, and recommending the safest, most effective removal plan.
Removing a wild animal from your attic, basement, yard, or wall cavities is just part of our humane removal services. Lasting wildlife control depends on understanding how the animal entered your property and eliminating every opportunity for it to return. This is particularly true for raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and other animals with dependent young.
At Critter Hero, we combine humane removal with professional exclusion, damage repairs, and preventative solutions that address the root cause of the infestation. Our goal is to protect your Brantford property long after the wildlife has been removed, giving you confidence that the problem will not simply return next season. Here’s what to expect from our team.
Extensive experience: Using proven techniques and specialized equipment, we safely remove nuisance animals while protecting your property, your family, and the surrounding environment.
Comprehensive animal removal services: From initial inspection to animal exclusion and final cleaning of contaminated insulation or surfaces, we handle each phase in-house.
Safe, regulatory-compliant: At Critter Hero, we prioritize the safe removal of animals and their dependent young while minimizing stress and protecting the local ecosystem.
Animal-proof your property: Unless we seal the potential entry points, the animals may come back even after successful removal. That’s why we help wildlife-proof properties to reduce the risk of future wildlife invasions.

Have you noticed wild animal droppings or other signs of bothersome wild animals in your home? Schedule an appointment and let our wildlife removal specialists inspect your property for the following critters.
RaccoonRemoval
Every spring, we receive calls from homeowners in West Brant, Eagle Place, Holmedale, and other areas after a mother raccoon settles inside the attic to raise her kits. Raccoons are highly protective during maternity season, so rushing the removal can separate families. We carefully inspect for dependent young before beginning exclusion, ensuring the entire family leaves safely without returning.
SquirrelControl
Not every scratching noise means you can remove the intruder on your own. In Brantford, eastern grey squirrels frequently enter attics from mature trees around Echo Place, Terrace Hill, Mayfair, and across the city. Because they often build multiple nesting sites, we inspect the entire roofline before installing exclusion devices, preventing young squirrels from becoming trapped inside the home during removal.
SkunkRemoval
Many skunk problems begin quietly beneath a deck or shed long before homeowners notice their unmistakable odor. We commonly find skunks around West Brant, newer subdivisions, and properties bordering parks where soft soil provides easy denning sites. Our approach minimizes stress, reducing the chance of defensive spraying while safely encouraging the animals to leave your property.
MiceControl
A single mouse rarely stays alone for long. During Brantford’s colder months, older homes in Eagle Place, East Ward, and the downtown core become a good shelter and source of food as mice squeeze through surprisingly small foundation gaps. During the actual removal, we also identify how they are getting inside and seal all potential entry points to prevent them from returning.
RatManagement
Norway rats are excellent burrowers and often remain hidden until damage becomes obvious. We frequently assist homeowners and businesses near commercial areas, river corridors, and older neighborhoods where storm drains and nearby food sources support rat activity. Our inspections focus on locating nesting areas and travel routes before implementing humane control measures.
BatRemoval
Bat removal requires careful timing in Brantford. Big brown bats often overwinter inside home attics, while little brown bats establish maternity colonies during late spring. If you suspect there are bats in your property, schedule humane exclusions only when young bats can safely fly, protecting both the colony and your home. Our team can inspect your home and determine if it’s safe to remove the bats.
OpossumControl
Various opossum species have become increasingly common throughout Brantford thanks to the Grand River corridor, wooded parks, and milder winters. They’re gentle animals that usually shelter beneath porches, decks, and sheds after dark. Our team carefully removes these beneficial insect-eaters, allowing them to relocate naturally without causing unnecessary stress.
RabbitRemoval
Healthy gardens are every homeowner’s dream, but they also attract wildlife. Eastern cottontail rabbits regularly feed on garden vegetables, flowers, and young shrubs throughout West Brant and newer residential communities. During spring, they hide shallow nests directly in lawns. During removals, we first inspect your lawn carefully before beginning any exclusion work to avoid disturbing baby rabbits.

Alma Kirstein
We are very pleased with Critter Hero’s work. Chris was always here in a timely manner and worked hard to get our loft which is also our Airbnb free of the squirrels who found their way into the attic through the roof. It was extremely cold during the time and Chris never shirked on coming when it was necessary. He also did a fantastic job in sealing off the entry points. We highly recommend Critter Hero.
Edgar Teodoro
I highly recommend Critter Hero. Chris is extremely professional and easy to work with. We started hearing scratching noises in our attic, and he promptly came to inspect the issue and provide a cost estimate. It turned out that raccoons had found their way in. Chris handled the removal efficiently and made sure to seal all entry points to prevent future intrusions.
Giovanni Pagliari
Our experience with Critter Hero was excellent. After contacting two other local pest control companies who told us they couldn’t help us, and paying one of them $100 for an estimate, Chris the technician from Critter Hero assured us that he could solve our problem. He was professional, transparent about costs, and delivered on every promise. Highly recommended!
Kyla McNeil
We moved into a new house and discovered some happy little squirrels living in our attic. We were referred to Chris by a large roofing company. He came over the next day, assessed the situation, and got to work. Within a week the squirrels were gone, and Chris sealed up all the entry points. Great service!
Veruska Rosas
I contacted them on December 30 and Chris almost immediately replied saying I will be there at the end of the day. Chris was very professional and answered all my questions. The next day he came to do his work. After a week, the squirrels were gone. I am grateful that I contacted Critter Hero on time.
Dominique J

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to the common questions that we get from Brantford residents about wildlife control and prevention services.
How much does humane wildlife removal cost in Brantford?
Commercial and residential property owners can expect costs to vary depending on the type of animal, where it has nested, how accessible the area is, and whether repairs or wildlife-proofing services are needed. Our team will first perform a detailed inspection before providing a clear, no-obligation quote.
Do I need a permit to remove wildlife from my Brantford property?
Most property owners don’t need a permit to hire a licensed wildlife removal company. However, the animal removal techniques used must comply with Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act, 1997, along with any applicable municipal property standards or wildlife-related bylaws.
Why do wildlife problems seem more common around the Grand River?
The Grand River and Brantford’s network of parks, wooded areas, and natural corridors provide ideal habitat for wildlife throughout the year. As nearby neighborhoods continue to grow, it’s increasingly common for animals to move from these green spaces into attics, garages, sheds, and crawl spaces.
Will the wild animals come back after removal?
They certainly can if the original entry points remain open. Many animals remember successful nesting sites and will often return season after season. That’s why we combine humane removal with exclusion work, sealing vulnerable areas to make your property far less inviting to wildlife in the future.
Are humane wildlife removal methods safe for children and pets?
Yes. Our removal methods are completely poison-free and designed to protect your household. We use humane exclusion techniques that allow animals to leave safely without introducing harmful chemicals or creating unnecessary risks for children, pets, or the surrounding environment.
What are the first signs of a wildlife problem?
Many homeowners first notice scratching or thumping sounds, unusual odors, animal droppings, damaged soffits, disturbed insulation, or overturned garbage bins. Acting quickly when these early warning signs appear often prevents a minor wildlife issue from causing costly structural damage to your property.
