Removal methods that are safe for pets and families
Wild animals cause extensive damage to residential and commercial properties. For instance, raccoons damage roofs while rats chew on nearly anything. We will assess the damage and handle repairs.
If the entry points the animals used to access your property remain open, there’s a chance they’ll return. To prevent that, we seal all known entry points. Note that this is part of our wildlife removal services.
Humane wildlife removal is only effective if our team identifies the specific animals that have invaded your property, how they got in, and where they’re nesting. That’s why we start the entire process with a thorough inspection.

Different wild animals invade homes and business properties in Milton. Learn more about them.
RaccoonRemoval
Milton’s rapid residential growth along the Niagara Escarpment has brought homes closer to prime raccoon habitat. Female raccoons often move into attics during spring to raise their young, tearing roof vents, insulation, and soffits in the process. Our humane removal methods protect both your property and the mother raccoons and their offspring.
SquirrelControl
Neighbourhoods with mature trees and homes bordering conservation areas provide squirrels with easy access to rooftops. Once inside your home or commercial property, they constantly chew electrical wiring, roof vents, and wooden framing to keep their teeth trimmed. If not addressed on time, squirrels can cause extensive damage and increase the risk of electrical fires.
SkunkRemoval
As farmland gives way to new subdivisions, skunks increasingly seek shelter beneath homes’ decks, porches, and backyard sheds. They burrow these areas to make dens, which can weaken foundations. Additionally, skunks’ awful defensive spray odour can linger for weeks. Thus, humane removal is the safest option to protect your pets and family.
MiceExtermination
Cooler autumn weather drives mice into residential properties through tiny gaps around foundations, utility lines, and garage doors. Once inside your property, these rodents contaminate food, damage insulation, and reproduce rapidly. In fact, a seemingly minor mouse issue can escalate into a widespread infestation within a few weeks if left untreated
RatControl
Milton’s expanding residential developments and commercial areas provide rats with abundant food and shelter throughout the year. These persistent rodents often invade basements, crawlspaces, and utility rooms, where their constant gnawing damages wiring, pipes, and building materials. They also contaminate kitchen areas and other living spaces.
BatRemoval
Properties near the Niagara Escarpment and surrounding natural areas regularly experience bat activity, particularly around rooflines and attic spaces. Because bats are protected in Ontario, removal requires carefully timed humane exclusion methods that comply with provincial wildlife regulations and prevent re-entry. If you have spotted bats in your property, do not hesitate to contact our team.
OpossumRemoval
Opossums are becoming more common in Milton neighbourhoods bordering parks, creek corridors, and conservation lands. They frequently den beneath decks and sheds. Most opossums scatter garbage in search of food, and may establish long-term shelter surprisingly close to occupied homes if left undisturbed. They may not be as common as rats, but they still invade Milton properties.
RabbitRemoval
Rabbits thrive where residential areas border open fields, parks, and agricultural land. Although they appear harmless, they can quickly damage your vegetable gardens, newly planted trees, shrubs, and landscaping. Our humane exclusion solutions help protect your property while allowing local wildlife to continue thriving naturally.

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!

Custom Animal Control for Every Property Type
Wild animals can invade homes, condominium complexes, business buildings, and industrial facilities in Milton. They don’t discriminate between a newly built home and a long-established business. That’s why we offer customised wildlife control services.
Residential Neighbourhoods
Many of Milton’s newer communities border parks, stormwater ponds, conservation lands, and former farmland. We help homeowners address wildlife issues early, protecting modern homes from infestations before minor entry points become costly repairs. When you notice signs of mice, skunks, or other wild animals nesting in your property, contact our team immediately.

Estate Properties
Larger lots, detached outbuildings, barns, and other properties bordering open fields naturally attract more wildlife activity. If not removed early enough, wild animals can cause roof damage, tear insulation, damage electrical wiring, and more. Our team can help develop practical removal and exclusion strategies that account for the property’s surroundings and the movement of local wildlife. Read More Here
Businesses & Industrial Facilities
Commercial buildings often face different wildlife challenges than residential properties. Raccoons, squirrels, mice, and other animals often use roof-mounted equipment and loading bays to large utility openings as entry points. At Critter Hero, we help businesses maintain safe, wildlife-free commercial properties while minimising disruption to employees, customers, and day-to-day operations.
Frequently Asked Questions
The wildlife removal specialists at Critter Hero have answered various questions about the removal of dead animals and other services we provide. Here are the answers you seek.
Can wildlife return after removal?
Removing the animal is only part of the solution. If damaged vents, soffits, roof gaps, or foundation openings aren’t properly sealed, another animal can move into the same space. That’s why we combine humane removal with exclusion and wildlife proofing.
Is wildlife removal different for newer homes in Milton?
Yes. Many newer homes rely on roof vents, soffits, and exterior building materials that can become easy access points if damaged or improperly protected. Our inspection identifies vulnerabilities specific to your home’s construction.
Do I need wildlife removal services if the animal has already left?
Yes. Even if the animal appears to be gone, nests, contaminated insulation, droppings, or hidden entry points often remain. A professional inspection helps confirm whether the property is truly wildlife-free and prevents future infestations.
Can wildlife damage affect my home’s value?
It can. Unrepaired wildlife damage may lead to moisture problems, damaged insulation, odours, structural deterioration, and electrical issues. Addressing the infestation early helps protect both your home and its long-term value.
When is the best time to wildlife-proof a home?
Late summer and early fall are ideal because many animals begin searching for warm shelter before winter arrives. However, wildlife proofing can be performed year-round following a professional inspection.
How do you remove animals without separating mothers from their babies?
During nesting season, we inspect carefully for dependent young before beginning removal. We use humane techniques that allow animal families to leave together whenever regulations permit, while complying with Ontario wildlife protection requirements.
