RaccoonManagement
Female raccoons invade homes in spring to create safe dens for the baby season. They’re common in neighborhoods like Roseland, Aldershot, and Tyandaga, where mature trees and older homes make it easy to reach roofs. Their population also thrives near Lake Ontario, the Bronte Creek system, and the Grindstone Creek corridor. We use safe removal methods and secure vulnerable areas to prevent re-entry.
SquirrelControl
Squirrels, especially the eastern grey species, are commonly found throughout Burlington. They are common in areas where large tree canopies create travel routes between yards and rooftops. That means they can easily bypass predators. Once inside, they nest in attics and chew wood, insulation, and wiring. We safely remove them, inspect for hidden nesting sites, and seal access points to remove them.
SkunkRemoval
Skunks are often spotted in neighborhoods such as Brant Hills, Palmer, and rural Burlington, where decks, sheds, and porches provide sheltered denning areas. They are attracted to properties with grubs, insects, pet food, and easy hiding spots. While generally non-aggressive, skunks can cause unpleasant odors and damage to yards. Let our specialists safely remove them and install exclusion measures.
MiceManagement
Mice are a year-round problem across Burlington, though they become particularly active during colder months as they move indoors in search of warmth and food. These rodents can enter through small gaps around foundations, utility lines, and garages. Our team can help identify entry points, eliminate active infestations, and implement exclusion measures to reduce future rodent activity.
RatControl
These rodents often invade properties near commercial districts, industrial areas, waterfront zones, and neighborhoods close to creeks and stormwater systems. Rats can contaminate spaces and damage property through constant gnawing. We focus on thorough inspections, humane control strategies, and sealing access points to help keep properties protected.
BatRemoval
Bats are common in Burlington neighborhoods bordering the Niagara Escarpment, LaSalle, and other areas with mature trees and nearby natural habitats. Small gaps along rooflines, soffits, and vents can allow entire bat colonies to roost inside attics. Because bats play an important ecological role, use exclusion techniques that allow bats to leave safely while preventing re-entry.
OpossumControl
Mild winters have allowed North America’s only marsupials to move northwards. Historically, opossums are rare in Canada, but climate change has led to a growing opossum population throughout Southern Ontario. They are more widespread near Lake Ontario because they are not well adapted to withstand extremely cold conditions. At Critter Hero, we apply humane techniques for opossum management.
RabbitRemoval
Rabbits are a familiar sight in Burlington neighborhoods, such as Headon Forest, Orchard, and Millcroft, where parks, gardens, and open green spaces provide ideal habitat. While many homeowners enjoy seeing them, rabbits can cause significant damage to landscaping, flowerbeds, and vegetable gardens. We can assess your property, humanely remove the rabbits, and prevent re-entry.

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
