removal of raccoons from our backyard

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The worker that came over to remove the raccoon family was excellent. He was kind to the animals and very gentle. He also kept both of my 2 kids informed about the raccoons and how he was going to remove them from the basement. He was very engaging and very helpful and knowledgeable about his job. I would recommend this company again.

Dead Rat!

Our entire house was full of an indescribably awful smell, seemed to be coming from the heating vents indicating that we probably had a dead animal in the house somewhere. AAAWildlife were full-service even though it was Good Friday. The technician came out the next day, kept in touch by phone as his schedule shifted. Arrived well-equipped and knowledgeable, got right to work, though he warned us that t's often not possible to find the source of the smell without cutting into walls, etc. He did a thorough inspection on access points in our house and reported on what he recommended to close them off, and gave an estimate for the work. Set traps in the attic and crawl-space, then searched the crawl-space for the dead animal. FOUND IT! REMOVED IT! Totally happy.

Hello Katey, thank you for your descriptive review of Chris's inspection. Although we do not promise to find all deceased rodents - we do often succeed. One of the reasons we do not use any poisons, the animals will commonly die in unreachable locations. However, our assessments will always let you know what can be done to prevent future reoccurrence. Thank you again. Randy Celinski, Owner / President

Rat proofing that never worked - Company responded

I paid almost $1,000 to have one of their technicians supposedly "rat proof" my entire house, back in 2013. It looked good initially, and seemed to stop all the rats from coming in my house for about a year. All of a sudden there was the dead rodent smell in my basement again, and I was very upset about this. I called AAA wildlife and they promptly came to my house to inspect. I said that you need to find that rat and get it out of the ceiling now. They refused to do so. I had to cut holes in my brand new basement suite ceiling, and find it myself, which I did. The technician stated that the first technician didn't finish the job properly, and that he would have to charge me $100 / hour to finish the job, which consisted of installing mesh under the porch, and around the rest of the house. I said that your guarantee should cover the work, and he said that only the partial work that the initial technician completed would be covered. So, about 2 weeks ago now, I smelled the familiar dead rodent smell again, and it was again inside the ceiling of my brand new basement suite which I paid a lot of money for. I have tried for days to get it out, but its lodged so far inside the ceiling, that I can't. UPDATE: They came to my house today, and actually found the problem. There was 2 more holes under an addition on the back of our house. They patched the holes and removed the dead rat. Very impressed with the quick response. It would have been better to do that in the first place, but at least our house is 100% secure now. Thanks AAA for the quick response. I am very relieved, now that it was taken care of. They also never charged any extra for that.

Hello Chris,
I appreciate the opportunity we had to revisit your home and take a fresh look. I sincerely hope you are happy now. We had no idea you were so unhappy since 2014. We are extremely pleased in our success, in not only sourcing out the hidden rat entry under your addition but also finding the deceased rat. A great ending.

I am delighted that you felt happy enough to upgrade your rating of us from 0 to 9 STARS!

In the end, I believe you witnessed and agreed, that the problem was not a lack of putting more screen around your house, but in conclusion, a finished deck, enclosing an addition, under which there existed 2 drilled holes thru the foundation left by the builders. Never to be found without taking apart the deck and belly crawling under the addition. More effort and diagnosing than usually required in an average rat proofing project.
We DO HAVE the experience and the determination to solve these mysteries, but it typically costs more than the average to get to the bottom of.

Thank you again.

Due to no further rat issues, I hope you never need to call again, but you have our number. Randy Celinski, Owner / President

Rat service.

Had an issue with rats. Had a complaint and they were very professional in contacting me to respond to that complaint. It’s unfortunate I have moved out of that home now but very professional in getting back to me and attempting to address the issues I had. Thank you.

Hello valued customer, I am glad we were able to talk on the phone and am awaiting the arranged meeting at your home to review the situation. I was very unhappy reading about your experience as this is not a typical occurrence in my company. Normally it is our technicians finding entry points overlooked by other pest control companies. Sometimes these things can require a fresh set of eyes and I am wishing you would have called my office with these concerns first, then we would have had one of our other 7 experienced animal proofing technicians have a fresh look. I look forward to working with you to resolve your position. Randy Celinski, Owner / President

Rats in the attic

I called AAA Wildlife for a service call to remove a family of rats in my attic. I was lucky enough to get Randy to my home. He arrived on time, explained his services and provided an estimate after 1 hour inspection. He was very clear and explained the process involved. Within 2 weeks the problem was resolved and all points of entry had been screened off and blocked to avoid future problems. I referred their services to one of the clients with similar problem.
They were very professional and focused solving my problems on a timely matter. More importantly they wanted to ensure that this problem does not happen again. I would definitely use them again. Thank You AAA Wildlife

Rat in attic

AAA Wildlife Control professionally dealt with a dead rat and potential rat infestation. They arrived on time, showed proper identification and promptly located the dead rat and possible entry points. The subsequent rat proofing was done quickly and as far as I can tell, efficiently.

Hi Vivian, as you found out, these rats don't always go outside to die, and they cannot always be easily found,, however, we never say never, and sometimes with a little faith, actually find them - making it appear quick and easy. But I can assure you, it is thanks to all the rats who have gone before and been found. Thank you for sharing your experience. Randy Celinski Owner / President

Squirrel in chimney

After 24 hours of our dog acting strangely at our fireplace, a noise was heard inside the chimney. A call was placed after 4:00pm and details were given. Chris arrived and quickly determined the problem was a squirrel caught in the chimney. It was not an easy job to remove the squirrel. Chris was ever so patience and calm trying to reach the squirrel. Once he finally reach the squirrel he carefully carried it outside and placed it in a tree. Chris was extremely polite and professional. We were very pleased with the service provided and would gladly recommend this company.

Great service

I called AAA Wildlife in a bit of a fluster after being woken by animal noises (which turned out to be mating squirrels) in our attic early in the morning. I called at 9 am and I was incredibly relieved that they were able to schedule an inspection/estimate that same day. Stuart arrived at 1 pm, did a very thorough inspection and clearly communicated the options without any pressure. He completed the work to prevent re-entry by 3 pm and so far we haven't had any more animal visitors. During his follow up visit, Stuart actually helped clear our neglected gutter, in addition to sealing up the barriers he'd installed. AAA Wildlife responded with very fast and high quality service and I would definitely use them again.

wildlife in chimney

I was disappointed by chimney cleaning businesses who wanted to rebuild my chimney - all quoting $600 site seen and unseen - before a screen could be installed to keep squirrels out until one chimney cleaning company said they wouldn't go near the chimney until AAA Animal Control checked the chimney first and removed any squirrels and their nests.
Dan of AAA Animal Control provided excellent service, explained the issue each step of the way, took photos on his phone to show me and told me what he was doing and what he did, and what the chimney sweeper would have to deal with.
And on the 2 chimneys Dan installed 2 screens because that's what that needed.

Rats In The Basement

We discovered two rats enjoying our basement area and called the AAA Wildlife Control.
Their technician attended and quickly surveyed the exterior of our home and discovered the point of entry. Traps were sent up inside and a one way door for the rats to exits.
One way door prevented one rat from returning and the other rat was caught in the trap.
Through out the how process, I was kept in formed of work being done. My wife and I were extremely pressed with the professionalism and the quality of work.
Two of my neighbours are now seeking services from AAA Wildlife Control. With out hesitation, I would recommend their services to others who have uninvited guests.

Hello, I really appreciate you took the time to comment on your experience. Each animal intrusion is unique and requires a custom, well monitored approach. Our technicians understand the complexity and seriousness that these rat intrusions require and our service needs to be very fluid. Close monitoring and follow up is a large part of most of our proposed solutions. Thank you for your business and sharing the successful results. Randy Celinski, Owner / President
