Milton is among Southern Ontario’s fastest-growing communities, but that growth comes with a unique challenge. Residential neighborhoods continue to expand alongside the Niagara Escarpment, conservation lands, ravine systems, and natural wildlife habitats. This makes it easier for raccoons, squirrels, and other wildlife to enter homes and businesses.
Luckily, Critter Hero is a reputable wildlife removal company that has served Milton, Burlington, Oakville, and the surrounding cities for more than 15 years. We handle animal exclusion so well that we have maintained a 4.9/5 star rating after working with over 225,000 property owners.
Milton’s residents count on our professional team for effective animal control in residential and commercial properties.
Keep Wild Animals Off Your Property
After more than 15 years of providing wildlife control and exclusion services, we’ve learned how various wild animals behave, where they travel, and what attracts them to homes and businesses throughout Milton. From handling raccoons in attics and skunks beneath decks to bats in rooflines and rodents inside wall cavities, we have seen it all.
Our trained and certified specialists provide humane solutions that address the root cause of the infestation, not just the signs of damage. Here’s why Critter Hero is the go-to company for ethical animal exclusion.
In-house licensed and experienced specialists
100% poison-free methods of wildlife removal
Effective solutions at affordable costs
24/7 rapid response, including same-day appointments
Wild animals often leave behind damaged insulation, chewed materials, contaminated areas, broken vents, and compromised rooflines. We assess the damage and recommend cost-effective repairs.
Removing the pests is only part of the solution. Our team will seal entry points, reinforce weakened areas, and implement exclusion measures to prevent the animals from returning to your home.
Our humane wildlife removal process begins with a thorough property inspection. We’ll identify the pests’ nesting areas, travel routes, contamination, and the conditions that allowed wildlife to move in.
The increased instances of wild animal infestations in Milton are a direct result of the town’s unique location and rapid growth. Various development projects have pushed new residential communities closer to conservation lands, wooded corridors, ravines, and natural green spaces. Instead of moving away, many wild animals have adapted remarkably well to urban areas.
Today, homeowners in various neighborhoods, such as Ford, Walker, Cobban, Bowes, Harrison, Scott, and Milton Heights, regularly deal with raccoons, squirrels, skunks, rabbits, bats, rats, and other nuisance animals. In many cases, the same natural features that make a neighborhood attractive to families also make it attractive to wildlife.
Here’s why more homes and commercial districts are experiencing increased wildlife activity.
The Niagara Escarpment supports wildlife populations: Other areas like Kelso Conservation Area, Rattlesnake Point, and Mount Nemo provide ideal breeding, feeding, and shelter for wildlife.
Stormwater ponds create hidden travel routes: Some pests like rats use creek systems and naturalized ponds to move safely through Milton without crossing busy roads or open spaces.
New development projects push animals into homes: As construction continues across areas like Ford, Walker, Cobban, and Bowes, wildlife often loses its natural habitat and begins moving into homes.
Homes provide better shelter than the wild: Attics, soffits, decks, sheds, garages, and crawl spaces offer warmth, protection from predators, and safe places to raise young.
Food is everywhere: Bird feeders, compost bins, outdoor pet food, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and unsecured garbage create reliable food sources throughout the year.
Wildlife quickly adapts to urban areas: Raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, bats, and rodents have learned how to thrive alongside people, making wildlife activity a common issue across Milton.
Find What’s Attracting PestsWe inspect your attic, roofline, soffits, vents, decks, sheds, foundation, crawl space, and yard to identify the species involved, nesting locations, travel routes, and the conditions attracting them.
Ethical Control & Exclusion MethodsOur specialists use humane, 100% poison-free removal and exclusion techniques that comply with Ontario wildlife regulations. Every solution is tailored to the specific animal, season, and situation.
Prevent the Animals from ReturningRemoving wild animals is only half the job. Our specialists will seal access points, fix weakened areas, and implement long-term prevention measures to keep the wild animals or pests from returning.
Learn how various animals invade private and public properties and the damage they cause.
RaccoonRemoval
In Milton, raccoons frequently target attics during spring when female raccoons search for secure denning locations to raise their young. Neighborhoods bordering ravines, conservation lands, and mature tree canopies often experience frequent infestations. Our team can help safely remove raccoons, handle baby-season situations responsibly, and prevent future attic invasions.
SquirrelControl
Eastern Grey squirrels are among the most persistent wildlife species in Milton. Their constantly growing teeth drive them to chew roof vents, soffits, fascia boards, and other building materials. They commonly return to successful nesting sites season after season, making proper exclusion and wildlife-proofing essential for long-term control.
SkunkRemoval
Unlike attic-dwelling wild animals, skunks establish dens beneath decks, sheds, porches, and home additions. Many Milton homeowners first notice a skunk problem when they see lawn damage or a strong odor. At Critter Hero, we identify active den sites, assess seasonal activity, and implement humane exclusion strategies that prevent future infestations.
MiceControl
A mouse can enter a home through an opening no larger than a dime. Once inside, these rodents reproduce quickly. That means even minor infestations can grow surprisingly quickly. Our team will inspect foundations, utility penetrations, garages, and hidden entry points throughout your property before implementing removal measures designed to stop recurring rodent activity.
RatControl
Rat infestations continue to increase throughout Milton as development expands and stormwater infrastructure grows. These rodents commonly travel through drainage systems, retention ponds, creek corridors, and utility pathways before entering residential communities. Our team identifies travel routes, feeding areas, and access points.
BatRemoval
Milton’s proximity to the Niagara Escarpment, conservation lands, and wetland systems supports healthy bat populations. During spring and summer, female bats often establish maternity colonies inside attics, soffits, and roof cavities. At Critter Hero, we use humane exclusion techniques that comply with Ontario wildlife regulations while protecting both your property and local bat populations.
OpossumRemoval
Virginia opossums have become increasingly common throughout Southern Ontario and are now regularly found in Milton neighborhoods. These nocturnal animals often shelter beneath decks, sheds, crawl spaces, and porches while searching for food overnight. Our specialists safely remove opossums and address the conditions that attracted them to the property.
RabbitControl
Eastern Cottontail rabbits thrive throughout Milton’s parks, green spaces, stormwater blocks, and residential communities. Female rabbits often conceal nests in lawns, flowerbeds, and landscaped areas, making them difficult to detect. We help protect gardens, shrubs, and other vulnerable landscaping through humane rabbit management and exclusion strategies.

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
