Humane Wildlife Removal for Barrie & Orillia Properties

Properties around Kempenfelt Bay, Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching see steady wildlife activity, especially where homes and cottages back onto wooded lots or open water. Raccoons, squirrels and bats are the animals we’re called out for most.

We provide wildlife inspection and humane removal for year-round homes and seasonal cottage properties throughout Barrie, Orillia and the surrounding area.

Signs of Wildlife Activity Around Barrie & Orillia

Scratching in the attic, torn insulation or droppings near a soffit are all signs an animal has already made itself at home. Left alone, the problem only gets bigger.

Wildlife control is not one-size-fits-all. Each species requires a specific, humane approach based on behavior and access points.

Why Lakefront Properties See More Wildlife Activity

Cottage-style construction near the lakefront often has open soffits, crawl spaces and detached sheds that are easy for wildlife to get under or into, especially over winter when properties sit empty. In town, older Barrie neighbourhoods closer to the downtown core see more raccoon activity due to mature tree cover, while newer subdivisions further out deal more with squirrels finding gaps around rooflines.
