Our Wildlife Problems: 1) Some birds were nesting in our second storey bathroom exhaust pipes. 2) A family of racoons (a mother and two kits) had taken up residence in the flat roof portion of our single storey rear addition. The solution: 1) We called Liddle Rascals on a Saturday afternoon. After leaving a short message Scott called us back and made arrangements to come onsite that same day to assess our situation. 2) Scott provided a quote for his services to address our two wildlife problems, which was to clean out and remove the birds and their nest and to remove the family of racoons. His described methods were humane and would bring no harm to the animals. 3) His quoted price was lower than quotes from other similar service providers and seemed fair given the danger and risks associated with the type of work involved (handling a potentially feral, agitated, mother racoon desperate to use her sharp teeth and claws to protect her young, as well as fall hazards associated with climbing up an extension ladder one or more storeys to do so). 4) After accepting his quote, Scott went right to work that Saturday, and was able to remove the birds nest (the birds flew away as soon as he got near the nest) and to remove one of the racoon kits. A few days later, through the work of Scott and his associate, we watched as the mother racoon picked up her kit and ran off, leaving our house and property for good. They then sealed the remaining opening in our soffit so that the racoons could never return to trouble us again. 5) Scott was very courteous and professional throughout our dealings. He also demonstrated a keen knowledge regarding the wildlife that he was up against, in particular the racoons, and knew what to do, and how to handle them under various situations. 6) Although the racoons were a nuisance, we were very happy to see that the mother racoon and her kit were unharmed and would relocate elsewhere. Racoons are protected wildlife in Ontario, and cannot be harmed by owners or pest control personnel. 7) If we ever have any other wildlife related issues again, we would definately call Liddle Rascals Wildlife Control again.

Thanks Nelson for taking the time to write a review for our company.
I love when a job like yours goes as planned. It is always a good feeling when you see the mom leave with her little ones.
