Here’s How We Do It
Step 1: Thorough InspectionWe’ll begin with a detailed inspection of your property to identify the invading animal species, entry points, and whether nests or young animals are involved.
Step 2: Humane MethodsOur team uses humane, poison-free methods, such as one-way doors, to ensure safe animal exit. We also avoid separating mothers from their dependent young.
Step 3: Repairs and Preventing Re-entryMany animals are notorious for causing damage to the attics, electrical wiring, roofs, yards, and more. We’ll effectively repair the damage and prevent wildlife from re-entering.
Scratching noises, scattered nesting materials, damaged wiring, droppings, or unpleasant odor could mean you have any of the following critters.
RaccoonRemoval
Mississauga’s raccoons have adapted exceptionally well to urban living, particularly in Port Credit, Mineola, Lorne Park, and Erindale, where mature trees and older roofs create ideal denning sites. During spring, pregnant females search for quiet attics to raise their kits. They raid garbage bins, lift shingles, and damage soffits in search of shelter. Trust our team for ethical raccoon removal.
SquirrelControl
Eastern grey squirrels are the most common species we find in Mississauga properties, although red squirrels occasionally appear in heavily wooded areas. Our team gets frequent squirrel removal calls from Erin Mills, Meadowvale, and other areas where mature tree canopies create natural highways between branches and rooftops. Remember, squirrels continually gnaw wood, insulation, electrical wiring, and more, causing extensive damage over time.
SkunkRemoval
Skunks are a familiar sight beneath decks and sheds throughout Churchill Meadows, Lisgar, and newer subdivisions with generous green spaces. They usually become active after dusk, digging lawns for grubs and insects before retreating to sheltered dens. While generally calm animals, they have powerful defensive sprays that can linger for weeks and quickly turn a minor wildlife issue into a major nuisance.
MiceControl
House mice remain active throughout the year but become especially troublesome during autumn when temperatures begin to drop. Our team has been helping homeowners in Cooksville, Applewood, and Lakeview exterminate mice after they squeeze through surprisingly small gaps around utility lines, garage doors, or foundations. Once indoors, mice reproduce rapidly and contaminate surfaces.
RatManagement
Norway rats are most common near commercial corridors, older neighborhoods, stormwater channels, and properties bordering Cooksville Creek or the Credit River. They’re excellent burrowers and climbers that thrive wherever water and food sources are readily available. Besides contaminating homes, their constant gnawing can damage pipes, wiring, and building materials if left unchecked.
BatRemoval
Most bat removal requests come from older homes in Mineola, Lorne Park, and Clarkson, where small gaps beneath flashing or along rooflines provide access to warm attic spaces. The big brown bats commonly overwinter inside buildings, while little brown bats form maternity colonies during the warmer months. Our removal services are carefully timed to protect dependent young while preventing future re-entry.
OpossumControl
Virginia opossums have become increasingly common across Mississauga, particularly near Port Credit, Erindale, and neighborhoods bordering natural green corridors. Unlike many nuisance animals, they’re surprisingly gentle and rarely aggressive. They often shelter beneath decks, porches, and sheds while searching for insects, fallen fruit, pet food, or other easy meals during the night.
RabbitRemoval
Eastern cottontail rabbits are common throughout Meadowvale, Erin Mills, and family-oriented communities with parks, gardens, and lawns. Although many homeowners enjoy seeing them, they often damage ornamental plants, vegetable gardens, and young shrubs. During spring, they often build shallow nests hidden in lawns, making professional assessment important before any removal work begins.

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
We had a squirrel that had fallen into a deep cavity of the dry wall of the house and trapped itself. Chris came within a couple of hours of calling and managed to locate the squirrel and help him escape via a rope dangled into the wall gap from the attic. Phew! Thanks Chris!

Where Critters Find Shelter in Mississauga
From older residential communities to busy commercial districts and homes bordering natural green spaces, understanding where animals thrive helps prevent costly property damage before it starts.
Residential Neighborhoods
Older communities like Lorne Park, Mineola, Erindale, and Streetsville experience wildlife activity throughout the year, thanks to mature trees, aging rooflines, and established gardens. In spring, raccoons and squirrels search for attics to raise their young, while autumn brings mice and rats indoors as temperatures drop. Our team is available year-round to help protect your property from wild animals. Read More Here
Commercial Areas
Commercial corridors such as Dixie, Meadowvale Business Park, and the Airport Corporate Centre often attract mice and Norway rats because of food waste, loading docks, dumpsters, and extensive stormwater infrastructure. During colder months, rodents move indoors through utility openings and service entrances. This makes regular inspections and exclusion work essential for warehouses, restaurants, offices, and retail buildings.
Homes near Parks & Creeks
Properties backing onto the Credit River, Cooksville Creek, Etobicoke Creek, and Mississauga’s many parks naturally experience more wildlife movement than other areas. These green corridors provide safe travel routes for raccoons, bats, opossums, and other native species year-round. Seasonal weather often prompts them to seek warm, sheltered spaces, such as attics, sheds, garages, and crawl spaces.
If you have a wildlife problem, leave removal to the pros. Our licensed specialists use proven exclusion techniques to safely remove wildlife, repair vulnerable entry points, and help prevent future invasions. Every service complies with Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and applicable Mississauga bylaws, ensuring your property is protected while respecting local wildlife and their natural habitat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you still have questions about wildlife removal services? Here are answers to common questions we get from Mississauga property owners.
How much do humane wildlife removal services cost in Mississauga?
The cost of humane wildlife removal depends on the species, the location of the infestation, the extent of property damage, and the level of exclusion work required. Simple removals often cost less than repairs required following an attic infestation.
Do I need a permit to remove wildlife from my property in Mississauga?
Mississauga homeowners do not need a permit to hire a licensed wildlife removal company. However, all removal methods must comply with Ontario’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and applicable Mississauga bylaws.
Can wild animals return after removal?
Yes, wildlife can return if entry points remain open or food and shelter are still available. That’s why we go beyond removal by sealing vulnerable access points, repairing damaged areas, and implementing preventive measures to help prevent future infestations and protect your property long-term.
Does homeowners’ insurance cover wildlife damage?
Some homeowners’ insurance policies may cover sudden wildlife-related damage, while damage resulting from long-term infestations or poor maintenance is often excluded. Coverage varies among insurers, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider to determine the nature and extent of your coverage.
Is it safe to remove wildlife during baby season?
Yes, but it requires specialized knowledge and humane techniques. During spring, many animals raise their young inside attics, chimneys, or crawl spaces. Our technicians carefully remove mothers and dependent babies together whenever possible, in compliance with provincial wildlife protection regulations.
How long does humane wildlife removal take?
Many wildlife removal jobs can be completed within a single visit, while more complex situations involving baby animals, multiple entry points, or extensive repairs may require additional appointments. After our inspection, we’ll explain the process and provide a clear timeline for your specific situation.
