Humane Wildlife Removal and Prevention
Wildlife can cause serious property damage and health risks if not handled correctly. At Simcoe PestX, we specialize in safe and humane removal methods that follow Ontario’s animal-welfare standards.
Common Wildlife Problems in Barrie
- Raccoons nesting in attics
- Skunks burrowing under decks or sheds
- Squirrels chewing through soffits and wiring
- Birds nesting in vents or eaves
Our technicians don’t just remove the animals—we identify how they got in, seal entry points, and install barriers to prevent future infestations.
We also offer bird control services for seagulls, pigeons, and geese, which are common around Barrie’s waterfront and industrial zones. These birds can damage roofs, block vents, and create unsanitary conditions.
If you suspect wildlife activity, book a free inspection and we’ll assess your property right away.
Animal Waste and Odour Control
After animals are removed, it’s essential to clean and sanitize affected areas. Droppings, urine, and nesting material can spread bacteria, parasites, and strong odours.
Our Cleanup Process Includes:
- Safe waste removal
- Contaminated insulation disposal
- Sanitization and deodorization
- Restoration recommendations
DIY cleanup can expose you to serious health risks. Our team uses protective equipment and hospital-grade disinfectants to ensure your home or business is safe again.
For ongoing issues, we also offer maintenance plans to keep commercial spaces clean and compliant.
