AAA Gates Wildlife Control

My problem was a raccoon in my attic. I called AAA Gates Wildlife Control and their service from beginning to end was excellent.

The raccoon had gained entry from a roof vent. A day earlier my neighbour had advised me that a roof vent was slightly pried open (assumed it was the wind) and I promptly climbed up and pushed down the cover. That night (and all night), there was nervous pacing on both sides of the second floor bedroom ceiling.

First thing in the morning I called AAA Gates WC, and fortunately Chris was able to arrive within an hour. Chris was very friendly, knowledgeable and competent. He assessed the situation (actually first tried to shoo it away but without success), provided recommendations, a written estimate, and efficiently completed the work which included securing all the vents with screens, except the entry vent where a one-way door was temporarily installed complete with a makeshift ladder for the raccoon to more easily climb out. Early that night the raccoon exited the attic. A day later, Chris returned to secure the last vent.

I was very pleased with the work done by Chris and AAA Gates Control. The approach and humane methods they employ are efficient and effective. I will definitely call them again if necessary and I highly recommend them.
PS. It is amazing how easily raccoons can remove roof vent covers (even without damaging them); I would recommend that you have them secured permanently if raccoons are near your property.
