- Holes in your roof, soffits, or fascia
- Raccoon droppings around your property
- Overturned garbage cans
Damaged Racoons Can Cause To Your Property:
- Raccoons are skilled roof climbers and can tear off shingles or damage vents and chimneys to gain entry into your attic.
- Once inside your attic, they can wreak havoc on insulation, wiring, and ductwork with their chewing and nesting habits.
- Some raccoons also carry diseases like rabies, distemper, roundworm, and Lyme disease, posing a health risk to humans and pets.
- Their digging for grubs and trash can raids can leave your yard looking like a mess.
Squirrels
The constant chewing can damage your property.
Signs of a Squirrel Problem:
- Noises like scratching or scampering in your attic
- Chew damage around your roof eaves or soffits
- Holes leading into your attic or crawl space

Damages Squirrel Can Cause To Your Property:
- Squirrels can squeeze through tiny openings and chew their way in, damaging soffits, fascia, siding, and roofing materials.
- They can destroy insulation and wiring, and their droppings can create unsanitary conditions in your attic.
- Squirrel droppings can harbour mould and fungus and spread diseases like leptospirosis and salmonellosis.
- Squirrels can bring fleas and ticks into your home, posing a health risk to you and your family.
Skunks
Skunks may seek shelter under your porch or deck, creating strong odours and potential hazards for you and your pets. Signs of a skunk problem:
- A pungent odour around your property
- Scratching sounds under your porch or shed

How Buzz Boss’s Wildlife Control Services Work
Here’s a step-by-step look at our professional wildlife control process:
Identification of Animal Being Trapped
We’ll speak with you to identify the animal causing problems. This includes determining the species and behaviours of the animals involved. This helps us develop the most effective removal strategy.
Wildlife Inspection
Our technicians carefully conduct a comprehensive inspection of your property to assess the extent of the wildlife intrusion and the location of the animal’s den or entry point. This helps us determine the best trap placement and bait type.
Wildlife Trapping
Depending on the animal, we tailor a trapping plan. This involves selecting specialized trap types, bait, and placement locations to capture the target wildlife safely and humanely.
Wildlife Monitoring
Throughout the trapping process, we consistently monitor the traps every 24 hours to ensure a quick capture. If a non-target animal is accidentally trapped, we release it immediately and adjust our strategy. At this point, the focus is humane capture to minimize the stress on the animal.
Capture & Release
Once captured, we safely transport the animal outside city limits and release it into its natural habitat.
We’re committed to humane wildlife removal and use safe methods for your family, pets, and the environment.
Certified, licensed, and insured exterminators are just a call away!
