Wildlife problems we see in Stouffville
Most of Whitchurch-Stouffville is countryside, and the wildlife is countryside wildlife. The Oak Ridges Moraine runs across the top of the town, with the forest tracts around Vandorf and Gormley and the kettle lake at Musselman's Lake, and raccoons, skunks and bats are simply part of living there. Homes at Musselman's Lake range from old cottages to new builds, and the cottages in particular have the gaps, loose trim and open chimneys that animals use.
Ballantrae is a different kind of exposure: larger homes on a golf course, surrounded by woods, with long rooflines, plenty of soffit and outbuildings on many lots. The town centre has an old village core with century homes under mature trees, and subdivisions built since the 2000s with aluminum soffit, roof vents and attached garages.
Then there are the rural properties, with barns, sheds and garages that give raccoons and skunks a choice of shelters before they ever look at the house. Wherever you are, something in the attic got in at the roofline, and on a rural lot the roofline is only one of the places to check.
Raccoon removal in Stouffville
Raccoons are plentiful on the moraine, and from late winter to early summer a female will choose an attic, a barn loft or a garage ceiling to raise her kits. In a house, heavy footsteps after dark are the sign; outside, look for a torn roof vent, lifted soffit or an open chimney.
Kits are checked for before any removal so the family leaves together, then the opening is sealed and the vent, soffit, chimney or roof repaired to match. Raccoon removal covers every entry point, not only the one you noticed.
Squirrel removal in Stouffville
Daytime scampering overhead is a squirrel, busiest at first light and in the late afternoon. Stouffville's squirrels chew in at soffit corners, fascia edges and roof vents, and the trees around Musselman's Lake, the village core and the Ballantrae woods give them an easy climb.
They raise young twice a year and nest in the insulation, so every squirrel is confirmed out before the hole is sealed and the chewed spot repaired. Details on squirrel removal.
Skunk, bird and bat removal in Stouffville
Skunks are a fact of life on the moraine, denning under decks, sheds, porches and outbuildings across Stouffville. After the skunk is out, the base of the structure is meshed and the mesh set into the ground (skunk removal).
Starlings and sparrows nest in uncovered dryer and bathroom vents and in open chimneys; eggs and young are checked for first (bird removal). Bats are more common here than almost anywhere else we serve, roosting behind fascia and in the attics of cottages and older homes, especially near Musselman's Lake and the forest tracts. They are protected in Ontario, and we walk you through the method and timing before any work begins (bat removal).
Lifetime guarantee
Every entry point we seal comes with a lifetime guarantee, for as long as you own your home. If an animal gets back in through it, we come back and take care of it at no charge. Full terms are written on your invoice.
Common questions in Stouffville
Can you come today?
In most cases, yes. Same-day service is available for requests received before 4 PM, subject to technician availability. If same-day service isn't available in your area right now, we'll tell you upfront and get you the next available time.
What's the 4 PM cutoff about?
Requests received before 4 PM local time give us the best chance of reaching your property the same day. Requests after that are usually scheduled for the next available slot — we'll confirm timing when you contact us.
I don't know what animal it is. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most people who contact us haven't seen the animal, just heard it. Tell us what you're hearing and where, and our technician will identify it on-site.
Is the animal treated humanely?
Yes. We use humane removal methods suited to the animal and the situation.
Are you insured?
Yes. Good Neighbors Wildlife carries $5 million in liability insurance.
