Work completed Wed April 4 house in the Greenwood and Coxwell area. The office called and gave me 1…read morehour notice before arriving, Jamie and his partner arrived even though it was very windy and cold -1 degrees outside. They took a look and even showed me before and after photos to understand the size and scope of the problem. Really happy with the work, I initially thought it was raccoons and it turns out it was squirrels. They installed a one-way door and covered the gaps running along the roof line about 12 feet. The work was completed in about 2 to 3 hours. Pros - 1 year guarantee on the work, if an animal gets through the wire screens they will come back to redo the work. Detailed written invoice showing the required work, limitations and guarantees. Clearly explained the work to be done and the price. Had booties to keep my carpets clean. Cons - Did not inform me of the minimum fee of $150 before arriving, this is the office's fault. Protip - Some companies offer free estimates, only to charge more for the job later. Consider a company that can get the job done in 1 visit Damage - $565

Hands-down best wildlife control company I have ever dealt with. I really wish I had called them…read morefirst, no one is more knowledgeable and helpful than Scott when it comes to wildlife control. I kept hearing noises coming from the vent above my stove. I called one wildlife control company, who came out, did a 10-second "inspection" of my roof, told me there were no holes and that it must be mice I was hearing. Told me to call an exterminator. Called the exterminator, who was at first extremely hesitant to come to my home and, quite frankly, rude on the phone. He ended up coming out a few days later, but was scared to look into the the cupboard above the stove where the vent connects to the attic (where the noise was coming from). Instead he went on the roof, found a hole, installed a one-way squirrel door, and proceeded to leave without checking the attic. When I asked him to check the attic, he told me "the attic won't tell me anything, I've already inspected the roof" . Finally, after repeated requests, he poked his head up into the attic for less than a minute and said he will come back to throw down poison. A few days later, I again heard the noises above my stove in the vent. I called the company who had installed the one-way door. They said they would send the same Technician out to have a look. I asked them to send someone else who would do a better job and was not afraid of animals. They laughed and said they would call me back. Never did. In the meantime, I called Liddle Rascals. Scott was fully booked for the day, but told me he would do his best to squeeze me in, and he did. He came out to my house twice ON THE SAME DAY I called him. Inspected EVERYTHING, roof, attic, cupboard, vent, EVERYTHING. I tried to pay him, he said "pay me after the job is done" because he was going to come back in a few days and check on the one-way squirrel door he had set-up. He even took down the useless one-way squirrel door the other company had put up and patched up the roof. Extremely knowledgeable, extremely reasonably priced as well. Really really wish I had called him first, but live and learn, better late than never.

Cons - the inspection is "free" but when they…read morefound a point of entrance for the squirrels is was $450 plus extra charge for using a ladder...which ended up being $621 for one squirrel one-way door installation. When that did not work and the squirrels remained they returned in good time but charged me another $621 for another hole. So if $1200 plus is the going cost for 2 squirrel one-way doors...then I guess they are "affordable" as suggested on their website. I was told on the phone one door would be $450 (but no mention of ladder charge) but subsequent holes and doors would be half that. I guess if they don't find them on the first day you are back to full price... They also suggest a 10% discount for first time customers and 100% satisfaction guarentee....I did not get a discount and I feel like the price was way too high. So...buyer beware - the free inspection turns into a hefty price tag pretty quickly.

Nothing but great things to say about Dan and Running Wild. Dan was very quick to respond initially…read morewhen I first reached out to him as well as through the process of removing some raccoons that had nested in our attic. We had daily touch points where he would check in to see if the traps he set had been effective. Once we had the trash pandas trapped, he was very quick to respond and treated the animals humanely. We had a very tricky situation on our hands that was beyond my ability to handle on my own and his expertise put me at ease. Also compared to a lot of the big name companies that are out there, Running Wild's fee was VERY competitive. Excellent experience all around.

Do NOT use this company! The Raccoon Guys were efficient and inexpensive compared their…read morecompetitors BUT they do not follow through to complete the agreed services once they are paid... and you must pay upfront. I hired Will, the owner, twice. About a year ago to remove squirrels from my attic and then, a few weeks ago... raccoons. Will gave me a 10-year guarantee on his squirrel work but he said it did not apply. I may be wrong but I didn't think a raccoon would be able to get into my attic if he properly sealed the opening to prevent squirrels from returning. Nevertheless, I agreed to pay him another $400 to "rent" a one-way gate so the raccoon could exit and to attach metal screening... again to prevent it's return (I don't understand why he didn't do that for the squirrels). Will told me he would return in a week to remove the gate and to reattach the eavestrough that the raccoon pulled off. Will has still not returned. The eavestrough is on the ground with nails sticking out of it. The downspout is not connected, so rain pours down my roof and over the front of my house like a waterfall. The insulation and wood shavings the raccoon pulled out of my attic are still a mess on the roof beside the gate he was supposed to remove. All of this is easily visible from the street... a disaster since I plan to sell my house soon. And I think I have squirrels again. I sent Will text messages and tried to phone him... no reply. To be fair, my tone was a little angry but I don't think that's an excuse to be irresponsible. Since I paid him in full, I have no recourse other than this review. If he returns to finish the work, I will provide an update.

The Exterminators sent a technician to our door right away. Grant was just a fantastic young man and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to rodent infestations. Grant located the problem areas right away and dealt with the situation. The rat problem was gone soon after and we haven't seen so much as one dropping since Grant worked his magic. I am so happy with The Exterminators service and results. Grant has popped by to refill bait stations and make sure things are still good. He is a genuine young man who knows his job and is not afraid to get under a deck, or behind a dirty old basement sink to catch the problems. I would give The Exterminators a 10 out of 10 for their service, their warranty and Grant!!!

I also received two emails soon after getting off the phone; one a portal to the appointment, the other a confirmation of date, time and location. July 2, I got the confirmation text at 7:15 that the technician James was on his way. At 7:30am, I was looking out front and noticed the company van already here. At 8am, James cames to the door. I said I noticed him arrive earlier; he said he likes to get to sites early, so he's not late. I brought him to the back to show him the racoon. He said he would remove it and then disinfect the area after. When he was done, he came to meet me to tell me what he had done and took payment. We chatted a bit about Canada Day and then he left. All was done by 8:30am. Exceptional customer service, response time, professional and friendliness by both the person who made the appointment on the phone and James. Not cheap but given the City's lack of involvement and hands off approach in these situations, as well as potential diseases racoons carry, it's a safe piece of mind, so with the money.
