Wildlife Control & Removal Ottawa – Humane Animal Removal Services
Home / Wildlife Animal Removal
Wildlife animal problems can quickly become stressful in any property. Raccoons in the attic and skunks under the deck anyone can see. If you’re dealing with any of this then connect with A2Z Pest Control.
A2Z Pest Control handles wildlife control Ottawa and wildlife removal across Ottawa — raccoons, squirrels, skunks, groundhogs, and the usual cast of uninvited guests that end up in attics, walls, sheds, and crawl spaces.
We start with an actual inspection, not guesswork. Someone comes out, walks the property, and figures out where the animal is getting in — a gap under the soffit, a chewed vent, a loose spot on the roofline, whatever it is. Once we know the entry point and what we’re dealing with, we put together a removal plan that makes sense for the situation, then seal things up so it doesn’t just happen again next month.
Scratching in the attic at night, torn-up insulation, droppings near the foundation, chunks missing from your roofline — these are all things we’ve seen plenty of times, and they usually point to something specific once you know what to look for.
We work throughout Ottawa and the surrounding area, and our focus is on doing the job properly the first time: safe removal, honest recommendations, and prevention work that actually holds up.
What Wildlife Animals Do We Remove?
Raccoon Removal
Had raccoons in your attic before? Once they’re in, they don’t leave on their own — and they tend to come back to the same spot year after year if the entry point never gets fixed properly. They’ll call someone out, the raccoon gets removed, but nobody actually closes up the entry point.
That’s really what A2Z Pest Control does differently. We get up on the roof, check the vents, look at the soffits, figure out exactly where they’re getting in (there’s usually more than one spot, honestly). Then we deal with the removal itself and close off the access points so it’s actually done.
Skunk Removal
Skunks look pretty harmless from a distance, but once one decides your deck, shed, or the space under your porch is a good place to den, things go downhill fast. You’ll usually smell it before you see it — that smell doesn’t really fade on its own either, especially if they’ve been back there a while.
We wouldn’t recommend trying to handle this one yourself. Skunks aren’t aggressive by nature, but corner one or startle it and you’re looking at a spray (or worse, a bite) — and once a skunk sprays under your house, that’s a smell you’re living with for a long time. Our team deals with this stuff regularly, so we know how to get them out without turning it into an even bigger mess.
If you’re dealing with a skunk on your property, give A2Z Pest Control a call and we’ll come take a look.
Squirrel Removal
We get this call a lot in Ottawa, usually starting the same way: “I keep hearing something moving around above my bedroom.” Nine times out of ten, it’s squirrels. And here’s the thing — squirrels don’t quietly coexist with your attic. They chew. Insulation gets torn up, wiring gets gnawed on (which is a fire risk, not just an annoyance), and soffits or fascia boards take damage that’s a pain to repair later.
We’ve been doing squirrel removal around Ottawa for a while now at A2Z Pest Control, and honestly most jobs follow a similar pattern: we get up there, walk the roofline, find where they’re actually getting in (there’s often more than one spot), and figure out the safest way to get them out without just trapping them and leaving a bigger mess behind. Then we seal things up so it doesn’t happen again next season.
Groundhog Removal
Groundhogs don’t look like much trouble — until you notice the tunnel running under your deck or the hole that’s opened up right next to your foundation. The digging goes deeper than most people realize, and it doesn’t stay in one spot. A groundhog will often start near a fence or garden bed, then keep extending the tunnel — sometimes right under a patio or foundation wall — long before anyone notices anything’s wrong above ground.
We handle groundhog removal regularly, and our approach is pretty straightforward: get them out safely, then deal with the burrows and entry points so they (or the next groundhog looking for a free hole) don’t just move back in. We try to keep it humane and avoid tearing up your property more than necessary in the process.
If you’ve spotted a groundhog or a new burrow on your property, then feel free to connect with A2Z Groundhog removal team.
Bats Removal
Bats play an important role in nature, but when they make their way your property, they can quickly become a nuisance. Noise, droppings, odors, and repeated activity can turn a small bat problem into a bigger property concern.
We deal with bat removal fairly often, and it’s a bit different from most pest jobs — bats are protected in a lot of areas, so you can’t just seal them in or spray something and call it done. We inspect the property, figure out where they’re actually getting in and where they’re roosting, and use exclusion methods that let them leave on their own without getting trapped inside (which, trust us, you do not want happening in your walls).
Our Wildlife Removal Process
Inspection
We inspect the property to identify the animal, entry point, and signs of activity.
Identify the Entry Point
Our exterminator checks roofs, soffits, vents, chimneys, attic openings, crawl spaces, and other vulnerable areas.
Humane Removal
The appropriate removal method is selected based on the animal and situation.
Prevention
Our team explains preventive measures and recommends follow-up work when needed.

What Is the Difference Between Wildlife Control and Wildlife Removal?
If you’ve got a raccoon in the attic or a skunk under the deck, you probably just want it gone — and that’s wildlife removal in a nutshell. It’s the immediate fix: safely getting the animal out of your home or off your property.
Wildlife control goes a step further. It’s not just about the animal that’s already there, but about figuring out how it got in and making sure it — or the next one — doesn’t come back.
That’s the approach we take at A2Z Pest Control with our Wildlife Control Ottawa services. Instead of just removing the animal and calling it a day, we look at the bigger picture. Our team checks attics, rooflines, soffits, vents, chimneys, garages — anywhere wildlife might be sneaking in — to find out exactly how the animal accessed your property in the first place.
Raccoon in the chimney? Squirrels scratching around in the soffits? A groundhog digging under the shed? Whatever the situation, our Wildlife Removal Ottawa team will assess it and walk you through the best way to handle it based on your property and the animal involved.
Why Wildlife Prevention Matters?
Here’s the thing — getting the animal out is honestly the easy part. The real problem is usually the hole it came through. Leave that entry point open, and you’re basically leaving the door unlocked. Maybe the same raccoon finds its way back in. A little prevention work now saves you from dealing with the same headache again in a few months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wildlife Control in Ottawa
What animals do you remove in Ottawa?
Raccoons, squirrels, skunks, groundhogs, and bats make up most of our calls. Every case is a little different, though — what works for a squirrel in the soffit won’t work for a skunk under the deck, so we look at each situation on its own.
How much does wildlife removal cost in Ottawa?
Honestly, it depends — the animal, how hard it is to reach, how bad the damage already is, and whether you need repairs afterward all factor in. The best way to get a real number is to have someone come take a look.
Can wildlife animal damage my home?
Yes, more than people expect. Chewed wiring, torn insulation, damaged vents and roofing, wrecked gardens — it adds up fast the longer an animal sticks around. Catching it early saves your money and property also.
Will wildlife animal return after removal?
It can happen, especially if the original entry point never got sealed. Animals go where access is easy, so closing those gaps after removal is a big part of keeping the problem from repeating.
Do you seal entry points after wildlife removal?
Yes. Soffits, roof gaps, chimney openings, vents — whatever the entry point turns out to be usually needs some kind of repair or exclusion work to keep it from happening again.
Do you provide wildlife removal for residential and commercial properties?
Yes, the approach shifts a bit depending on the type of property and what animal’s involved, but we handle residential and commercial wildlife issues.
Do you provide raccoon removal in Ottawa?
Yes. We provide raccoon removal services for residential and commercial properties.
