Wildlife Removal in Waterdown, Hamilton

Waterdown is a lovely place to call home, but living close to wooded areas, creek systems, and older character homes means wildlife often wanders a little too close for comfort. It is completely normal here to hear scratching in the attic or spot a raccoon checking out your roofline. The good news is that Critter Hero is nearby and ready to help keep your home safe and critter free.


Common Wildlife Problems in Waterdown

With our mix of mature trees, quiet neighborhoods, and easy access to green spaces like Smokey Hollow and Clappison Woods, wildlife often finds its way into homes. Here are the critters we see most often in Waterdown:


Raccoons

They tend to get in through loose shingles, roof vents, or gaps along the soffit. Waterdown’s tall trees and older roofs give raccoons plenty of opportunities to climb and explore. Once inside, they can tear up insulation, leave messes, and make a lot of noise at night.


Squirrels

Squirrels usually squeeze through small gaps around rooflines or chew their way in. The abundance of nut bearing trees in areas like Old Waterdown makes squirrel traffic heavy, especially in fall. They can cause electrical risks by chewing wires and will quickly build nests in attics.


Skunks

Skunks often burrow under decks, sheds, or additions. Waterdown’s quieter backyards and raised structures make perfect shelter. They can spray, dig up lawns, and leave strong odors around the home.


Bats

Bats enter through tiny gaps in the roof or siding, especially in older homes near the escarpment. They prefer warm attics for roosting and can leave guano that needs professional cleanup.


Mice

Mice slip through cracks near foundations or utility lines. Cold winters and nearby fields make Waterdown a common spot for mouse activity. They contaminate food sources and leave droppings behind walls.


Rats

Rats follow food and shelter, often entering through larger structural gaps or ground level openings. In some pockets of Waterdown, especially near commercial areas, rats can be more active. They cause damage to storage areas and can multiply quickly.
