Client Concern:
A homeowner in North York contacted us after hearing persistent scratching noises coming from the attic, particularly during the early morning and evening hours. The client was understandably concerned about the possibility of wildlife intrusion and requested an immediate inspection.
Service Response:
Our technician responded the same day and arrived at the property, located near Sheppard Avenue West and Bathurst Street. Upon arrival, he conducted a thorough exterior and attic inspection to identify the source of the noise and any potential entry points.
Inspection Findings:
The technician discovered clear signs of wildlife activity—likely a raccoon or squirrel—along with droppings and insulation displacement in the attic. A small opening was found under the soffit near the rear of the home, which was being used as an entry point.
Solution Provided:
To humanely and effectively remove the animal, a one-way door system was installed at the entry point. This allows the animal to leave the attic safely but prevents it from returning. Additionally, all other vulnerable areas around the roofline were sealed to prevent future intrusions.
Follow-Up:
The client was advised to monitor the attic for continued noise and a follow-up visit was scheduled for the following week to remove the one-way door and permanently seal the entry point once it was confirmed the animal had vacated.
Location: Near Finch Avenue and Dufferin Street, North York, Ontario.
Client Outcome:
The client was very pleased with the prompt squirrel removal service and the humane approach to resolving the issue. No further noises were reported after the one-way door installation, confirming successful eviction of the wildlife.
