Wildlife Removal in Ottawa

Ottawa's Trusted Choice for Humane Wildlife Removal

Ottawa’s size means wildlife pressure looks different depending on the neighbourhood, from established urban homes near the core to newer suburban builds in Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans, plus rural properties near the Greenbelt. Raccoons, squirrels and bats top the list of calls we get.

We provide full-property inspections and humane wildlife removal across Ottawa, tailored to the type of construction and surrounding land.

Don't Overlook These Signs of Wildlife in Your Ottawa Home

Bent vent covers, sagging insulation, or a musty smell in the attic are common signs an animal has moved in. The sooner it’s found, the less it costs to fix.

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

How Ottawa's Neighbourhoods Shape Wildlife Entry Points

In established Ottawa neighbourhoods with mature trees, older homes tend to see more raccoon and squirrel activity through aging rooflines and chimneys. In newer communities like Kanata, Barrhaven and Orleans, unsealed construction gaps around vents and utility lines are the more common way animals get in. Properties bordering the Greenbelt or rural edges of the city also see higher overall wildlife traffic due to nearby natural habitat.
