Introduction

Wildlife is part of what makes Canada beautiful, but it can become a real headache when animals invade your home. From scratching noises in the attic to trash strewn across the yard, nuisance wildlife causes stress, damage, and even health risks. That’s where Wildlife Control Service comes in — and if you’re in Ontario or nearby areas, Safe Home Pest Services is here to help.

Common Wildlife Problems in Canadian Homes

Raccoons

Raccoons are clever, strong, and persistent. They often target attics, chimneys, and garbage bins. Once inside, they can tear insulation and leave droppings everywhere.

Squirrels

They may look cute, but squirrels are notorious for chewing through wood and wires. Attics are their favorite nesting spots during winter.

Skunks

Aside from the horrible smell, skunks can dig under decks and sheds. Their spray can linger for weeks, making your yard unusable.

Birds

Birds often nest in vents or chimneys, creating blockages and mess. Their droppings can also carry diseases.

Bats

Bats in your attic? That’s not just creepy — it’s dangerous. Bat guano can carry histoplasmosis, a serious lung disease.

Mice and Rats

Rodents sneak in through tiny cracks. Once inside, they breed fast and gnaw through everything, including your peace of mind.

Signs of Wildlife Infestation

Sounds and Noises

Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking in the attic or walls usually signals a wildlife issue.

Droppings and Tracks

Animal droppings or paw prints in dusty areas? Time to investigate.

Property Damage

Chewed wires, torn insulation, and ripped screens all point to unwanted guests.

Unusual Smells

The smell of urine, droppings, or even a deceased animal can be overwhelming.

Risks Associated with Wildlife in Homes

Health Hazards

Animals carry diseases such as rabies, leptospirosis, and parasites like ticks and fleas.

Structural Damage

Chewed wood, destroyed insulation, and gnawed wires can lead to costly repairs.

Fire Hazards from Chewing

Rodents and squirrels love chewing wires — a leading cause of electrical fires in homes.

Wildlife Removal Methods

Live traps are used to capture animals safely and release them far from your home.
