Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control

Excellent company! They are very friendly and professional. Completed the work on time and with a lifetime warranty! Wow! Very impressive. Thank you Damian and Colin for a job well done.

We moved into a new house in January. 2 days in, I found mouse droppings under our sink. Rodents are a huge phobia of mine. So I immediately called an exterminator who layed poison. He left and I did not feel confident. My brother suggested I call Skedaddle. He had used them for the exact same problem (New house, rodents!). Ben came to our home within a couple of days and was very thorough, honest and to the point. I trusted his plan. A few days later a whole team came out and spent approx 7 hours in and around my house. They sealed every hole and crack they could find. I was THOROUGHLY impressed! Fast forward to this week, and I saw a mouse, under the sink again. I called Skedaddle right away, the next day (today) they came out, sealed any new holes/missed holes (it was the dead of winter the first time so we were warned that snow could hide some holes). He came in and blocked the hole under my sink with mesh and provided some sealant and advice. Then reassured me to call them again if we have any issues. I feel very confident in our choice to hire Skedaddle for this issue. I would highly recommend. AT first I thought it was a bit pricey for MICE....but having the warranty is amazing for piece of mind, I will use them again if we ever have pest issues. Very happy with our experience.

We were invaded by one of the most persistent and suburban savvy raccoons in existence. We were unsuccessful in evicting him/her for 20 days. It laughed at the one way doors and continue to access our attic.
After some diligent research I found Skedaddle. Ben came the next day and spent a lot of time talking to me about a plan. He used a drone to get clear visuals of any weaknesses etc. These guys were consummate
professionals who respected social distancing and
Lucas entered my home with a suit that looked like it was straight out of a sci fi movie. Lucas scoured the attic in search of babies, the latrine and of course the raccoon. He was successful in confirming no babies were present and he removed the soiled insulation
that could have led to bigger problems. Matt was outside securing the soffits around the downspouts and preparing the one way door setup. Having been traumatized at how unsuccessful one way doors
performed against this raccoon I was trying to be
hopeful. Lucas meticulously crafted a cage/1 way door that fit the contours of the area and when he was done told me it’s not getting in. After 2 days the
raccoon wasn’t able to breach the door and we had reclaimed our attic! I setup a wireless camera in the attic which also had a line of sight at the entry point so I was able to confirm the vacancy. On the second night the raccoon spent 10 hours trying to breach the door taking 5 - 10 min breaks here and there but was
unsuccessful! The next day I had a request to Ben to remove the one way door and finish securing our attic. It was 2pm and it was very unreasonable of me to ask BUT Sarah and Zack came 2 hours later and finished the job! They repaired my soffit and a few other parts of the fascia that needed some securing.
My. Nightmare. Is. Over. If you have ever experienced a raccoon in your attic you can appreciate my words. This has legitimately traumatized me. The Skedaddle team was very empathetic with me and were just straight up amazing ppl to deal with. If you have a raccoon issue call these guys. If you want to talk to me about this I would be more than willing to. I’m laying in bed and my stress levels are going down as we speak. They finished the job today and I’m writing this review today. Thank you Skedaddle - you have no idea at how relieved my family is!
Edit! - we ended up finding babies and they were only identified as they started to make cry/sound for the first time as their mother was prowling a particular part of the roof. Called skedaddle in the morning and an hour later Andrew and Colin came to save the day. We identified the location and Colin went back into the attic to retrieve 4 babies! They placed them in a heated box with insulation from their nest and fixed it at the entry point for the mother to retrieve them today (as I write this I think she got them already!). Thank you, I can’t say enough great things about this company!

We hired them to spray the outside of our house for spiders and put a few mice traps as precaution since we had a previous mice problem. We ended up signing up for a quarterly service that was to be once per season, in March, about $250 each time. Similar to other reviews on here, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR IT. They booked appointments in advance while they were there but then never confirmed and never showed up, then would just show up when was convenient for them and never called in advance, so we never got the “full service” because if we weren’t home they would just walk around the outside of the house. They also would just come and charge you when they did this, so they decided to come every other month which meant we were charged 3 times in 6month period, instead what was supposed to be once every 3 months over a year. Do not hire this place, hire a small local business instead!

Raccon Problem. Called Skedaddle. Representative shows up and indicated that once the raccoon was trapped, I had two choices: release on my property or alternatively, I would have to euthanize it. I found this hard to believe that these were my only choices. He indicated that this was the provincial law and those were my only choices.

I did in fact check the Act and Regulations and spoke with the provincial wildlife authorities. There was another option that the representative neglected to share. Once trapped, I could take the raccoon and deposit on crown land.

I found his approach of not telling me everything very misleading and using the "you only have two choices" approach very underhanded into cornering a panicked client into signing a contract. When I called the company to give the facts, the response was "Oh you know the Act is quite complicated to understand"...

I would not recommend this company. They are expensive and will use whatever tactics necessary to get you to sign a $2000+ contract.

Raccoon had 4 babies in my attic. Skedaddle sent two fellows Stuart and his companion. Within a day the raccoon and her babies were removed. These two fellows were the most polite and informative employees any company would be proud to have

This autumn, I was in a new home and for the very first time, I found myself dealing with several types of animals/rodents that decided my house would be a great place to make their home for the pending winter months. I had heard about Skedaddle from a colleague and also noticed their trucks on my street. Because of their humane approach to wildlife removal, I gave them a call. A technician was out the next day and did a thorough combing of both the outside and inside of my home, identifying various entry points. I got a written quote the same day and then had them back within a few days to have them do the work needed to resolve the issues. (I also opted to pay up for added protection against future invasions. A big ticket item but well worth it for the warranty and peace of mind) Skedaddle did everything they said they would do and they had great follow up. I really appreciated the responsiveness, thoroughness, and professonalism of the whole team; from the supervisors and technichians, to the customer service people who take your calls and schedule the visits. They proved to be a great company to deal with and I would highly recommend them again and again.

I am appalled at how Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control treated us as good paying customers, and in how Skedaddle responded to damage it caused to our home. I feel compelled to share with other consumers our horrific experience dealing with this company.

We hired Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control to do work for us, which cost almost $6,000.00. The Skedaddle workers doing the job caused extensive damage to our home and said nothing to us about it. They were paid in full the balance owing before they left. So we were shocked to discover the damage left behind.

I immediately contacted Skedaddle with photos showing the damage. The next day Skedaddle offered us $100.00 for the damage, which we declined. I soon contacted Skedaddle’s CEO, who continued pressuring me to accept a lowball offer. I finally had to terminate communications with him, and hire a professional restoration company to do clean-up and restoration—plus get testing done for health and safety. Out-of-pocket costs for cleanup and testing were over $10,000.00. Only when I notified Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control of a pending claim did the company involve its insurance company to try to resolve the matter.

Needless to say, I would absolutely not recommend using this company.

Spencer, from Skedaddle in Hamilton area did a great job servicing our issues. He went above and beyond! He was very pleasant and professional. This company really makes sure that the problem will be solved, with repeat applications, unlimited for no extra charge. I have used them multiple times in different homes that we have owned over the years. They are honest and reputable. Turned out that the bats were not in our home anywhere, which was a great relief. No charge for checking that out! Thanks Skedaddle and Spencer!

When we purchased our home, close to $5,000 was spent to remediate an issue with bats in the attic to close the deal. Skedaddle promises a lifetime guarantee on their work. Three years later and the attic is completely infested with bats. They have come back twice and done minor work, and now are saying that their work only covers a portion of the sealing done to the house, even though the invoice says that all entry ways were sealed. When this was pointed out to the manager, they accused us or the previous homeowners of literally writing this line item into the invoice, which is absurd. Do not spend money with this company.
