A company is included when Google files it under animal control, as its main trade or a second one.
Profiles with no reviews, or untouched for a year, are left out. Repeat profiles sharing one phone number become one listing.
Its website is checked for the animals it handles and the work it offers: exclusion doors, sealing, attic clean-up.
When nothing settles a question, the listing says there is no information yet rather than guessing.
This directory covers businesses that Google files under animal control in Ontario. A wildlife company qualifies whether that is its main category or a second one beside pest control. Town animal services, shelters and pet businesses that share the category are not included, because they do not take on wildlife jobs in private homes.
The facts on each listing come from two places: the company's Google profile (rating, reviews, phone, the area it serves) and the company's own website (which animals it handles, whether it uses one-way doors, whether it repairs damage or cleans attics). A licence shows only as "states it is licensed", because the directory reads the claim and does not check it with any authority.
A company can claim its listing to fix details or add photos, and each claim is checked by hand first. Edited and published by Lesley Nadine.
Most wildlife jobs in Ontario start the same way: a noise in the ceiling, a smell under the porch, a nest in a vent. Before you hire, a few questions separate a careful company from a quick one. The answers matter more than the star rating.
Some companies fit a one-way door over the opening, so the animal can get out but cannot get back in. Others set live traps. Either way, Ontario's rules limit what happens next. A captured animal has to be released within 24 hours, and provincial guidance puts the release within one kilometre of where it was caught. A sick, injured or immature animal goes to a wildlife custodian instead. Poison and glue boards are banned for wildlife outside a few cases set by regulation. A company that offers to drive a raccoon to the countryside is describing something the province says not to do.
The province advises moving animals out of a home in the autumn, after the young have left the den or nest, and warns against sealing an animal inside. If the work has to happen sooner, ask how the company will avoid leaving babies behind. Hamilton's own advice is blunt: never separate a mother raccoon from her young.
Getting the animal out is half the job. The other half is the soffit, vent, chimney or deck gap it used. The grid on each listing shows whether a company seals entry points, repairs damage and cleans attics. A quote that covers removal alone may leave the door open for the next tenant.
Ontario has no licence for wildlife control agents. A licence comes into it only for body-gripping traps, firearms or pesticides. That is why listings here say "states it is licensed" rather than "licensed": the directory records the company's claim and does not check it. The province suggests asking about insurance, getting more than one estimate with a written description of the work, and asking for references.
Seven of Ontario's bats are listed as endangered under the Species Conservation Act, 2025, and harassing or capturing them needs an agreement with the province. Ministry guidance puts one-way doors in April to early May or late August to November, keeps exclusions out of mid-May to mid-August while flightless pups may be inside, and leaves full sealing to the months when no bats are roosting. If anyone in the home may have touched a bat, wash the spot with soap and water for at least 15 minutes and call your doctor or local health unit.
A 5.0 from three reviews tells you less than a 4.7 from three hundred. Each card shows both, and the city pages order companies by rating weighted by how many reviews stand behind it. Paid spots are labelled, so you can tell them apart from the rest.
Not to do the work itself. The province says you do not need a licence to be a wildlife control agent; a licence is needed only for body-gripping traps, firearms or pesticides. On this site, "states it is licensed" means the company makes that claim. The directory does not check it.
Usually not. Toronto Animal Services staff are not licensed trappers and do not provide traps, Mississauga Animal Services does not remove or relocate healthy wildlife, and Hamilton leaves nuisance wildlife on private property to the owner. Cities do respond to sick or injured animals; in Toronto that call goes to 311.
No. Wildlife caught alive in Ontario has to be released within 24 hours close to where it was caught, which provincial guidance puts at within one kilometre. A sick, injured or immature animal goes to a wildlife custodian instead.
The province advises the autumn, once the young have left the den or nest, and warns against sealing an animal inside. Bats follow their own calendar: no exclusion work from mid-May to mid-August, when flightless pups may be in the roost.
If anyone may have touched it, wash the spot with soap and water for at least 15 minutes and call your doctor or local health unit. A bat in a room with someone who cannot say whether there was contact, such as a young child, also calls for medical advice.
