USE COMMON SENSE

Like any bustling city brimming with human presence and activity, various wildlife has learned to tag along and has adapted to benefit from it as well. This has led to an increase of wildlife presence in the urban North York in recent years, so don’t be surprised to discover signs of wildlife activity in your attic, crawl space or other area of residence. Among the species of wildlife that may prove problematic for you are brown bats, raccoons, skunks and squirrels. Should you find such creatures taking shelter in your current place of residence, keep in mind that a wildlife control professional who focuses on humane removal and exclusion techniques is required in order to take care of the problem.

As a result of pests and animals becoming bolder, adapting to human activity and learning to thrive because of it, many home and business owners are unaware of the potential dangers of being around uncontrolled wildlife. Wild creatures such as the previously mentioned are often carriers of diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Additionally, wildlife can wreak havoc in pretty much all structures if left unchecked, which can result in thousands of dollars of damage. That is why a wildlife control specialist is the right answer to your invasion problem.

I like to spend time with my family, I have 5 children and that is most of my time away from Skedaddle, as for why Skedaddle...I have a sincere love for animals, sometimes more than the human kind. And I also love to fix things so Skedaddle was a perfect fit for me!
