Delivered on Quality & Customer Service Due to previous damage to vent piping by Raccoon presence, we decided to Raccoon Proof our entire roof, post replacement of shingles. Alex was a pleasure to deal with over the phone in answering some inquiries and scheduling the work. Derek, the technician that was assigned our work, was extremely professional and provided excellent customer service. He explained the crucial areas that required to be addressed without forcing additional inflated cost on the homeowner. In addition, he explained everything in detail and did a solid job on the entire installation.

SWAT cares about customers AND wildlife. Both, Derrick and Brian are super professional and personable in an old school way that is so welcome in this fast paced world. Over the last six years they solved various squirrel and racoon problems for me quickly, courteously, effectively - and humanely. Each time they did the right fix instead of the most expensive one. When they said, the squirrels were out of my attic, the squirrels were out of my attic. When they said, ok, it’s time to bite the bullet and get the perimeter of your deck wired up... a persistent issue got permanently resolved. Beyond that, Derrick went above and beyond on an unrelated leak in my eaves trough I’d been quoted big money to deal with.. and he literally did it with a screwdriver and a smile. Completely unexpected and just so incredibly kind. What can I say.. smart, personable, punctual.. and most of all, decent. You cannot go wrong with this rare gem of a company. Five stars all the way !!

Randy and Kellen came out, they were great do deal with, displaced birds from a soffit peak at our house and sealed the hole in a timely manner. They sealed it nicely (nothing will be getting in again) and no birds were harmed in the process! They know what they're doing and they're pleasant to deal with! Definitely recommend Swat Wildlife!

Great experience with SWAT Wildlife. Jonny was knowledge and professional. Raccoons were gone within a day and we were sleeping again after several weeks of having to listen to wildlife noises above our heads. Thanks!

SWAT Wildlife Inc. is an excellent company. Called 2 times over the years (squirrels in roof and skunks in garage). Always polite, on time, professional, they CARE about the animals in a human way, and always know how to treat clients. They are excellent in all sense. Do not hesitate to contact them.

Services provided in Brampton, ON. Service date was Saturday May 2, 2020.Bird Nest in Kitchen vent - Thank you Derick-SWAT WildLifeEuropean starlings are widespread across North America. They eat a wide variety of foods and are willing to use a wide variety of places to nest and roost. This flexible nature helps them thrive in cities and suburbs as well as on farms. They are one of only a few birds who live in otherwise barren industrial urban wastelands.Derick was amazing with his expertise, collaboration, knowledge and services. He provided knowledge support in helping me to get rid of a raccoon, wasps, mouse and birds. He applied silicone to the gaps and also wire proved the vent. He went above and beyond. The company is amazing. The Company Representative took my call was very helpful, detail-oriented, friendly and polite regardless of the many questions I had and the callbacks. Thank you for the amazing support and services

Derek and Adam fixed my external dryer vent this morning on Yachters Lane, Etobicoke.They were punctual and knowledgeable and the job was completed in no time! The end result looks great and I no longer have worries of wildlife entering the vent and causing a clogged vent and more worrisome potential injury and loss of life to small creatures in our neighborhood. Thanks again Derek and Adam!Frank

Squirrel Removal from AtticDerick and Randy were courteous and very knowledgeable technicians. Each one inspected my roof for entrance points, explained the problem, said what needed to be done to resolve the issue, and answered all my questions. I am no longer hearing the squirrels, so soon, I will be contacting the company to have them remove the one way door which was initially installed. I’m pleased with the service provided and, would recommend the company to others.

Extremely happy with our Swat Wildlife experience. Both times I called I was able to book a next day appointment. The technician, Derick, was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. He helped me understand the scope of our problem (damn rats) and then build a plan to deal with the problem. Great experience, and would totally recommend them to anyone.

I got the recommendation from the neighbourhood Facebook group so I called SWAT. They made an appointment for the next day between 8-11. Brian was at my door at 8:00 AM. Today was the first snow of the season so I had little expectations for an early arrival. What a pleasant experience. I live in a semi and have had raccoons under our back boot room before, so it was no surprise to have Brian discover them again. I was given a quote for the service on the phone, and was not surprised when Brian gave me the total. Brian was friendly, professional and a fast worker. He explained the situation, put in a one way door and wired up the area. Fingers crossed I won't be hearing the scratches again. BUT if I do, I am confident that SWAT will return as they guarantee their work.

Swat wildlife was very easy to communicate with. We had raccoons living in our chimney . They put a one way door and sealed it when the raccoons have left. Brian was a friendly guy who was very informative. He was quick and professional . I would recommend Brian and swat wildlife to anyone with raccoon situations. Thanks guys!!

This is our second service from SWAT. We have tried to other companies which could not match what SWAT does. From getting rid of our concern to providing knowledgeable, friendly, professional staff, from the initial phone call to the service call. Great experience. Thanks to Brian and all the staff.

I had a great experience with this company. I first hired them for my Father's home and was so pleased with the work done by Brian, that I then hired this company( with a request for Brian) to help me with my squirrel issues.I've had experiences in the past that were horrible, but SWAT WILDLIFE were really professional and effective.

We’ve called SWAT twice in the past few years to help solve two separate squirrel issues. Everyone from Patty and Alex in the office to the techs, Derek, Andre and Brian have been fantastic and dedicated to solving our issues. Thank you for helping us.

Thanks to Randy for removing a very large decomposing raccoon from under our deck. Randy was polite, efficient, friendly and saved the day. We would definitely call SWAT again (but really hope we won’t have to!)

Recently heard some scurrying in the attic and got hold of SWAT who I found through homestars. Although there were some minor complications with the appointment, I did receive a discount and their service was excellent. Brain came out to my house at the time he quoted and did a very very thorough job checking the roof, attic and other crawl spaces. I'm extremely pleased with their service and would definitely recommend them.

As a general contractor working in the city, I've had a number of run ins with raccoons in particular during my construction projects. I never hesitate to call SWAT when I run into these little guys. Since the first time we worked together, when Derick personally came back to my site over 5 times to help me track down a mother and her kits, I've been thrilled with the level of service, knowledge and the humane way in which the SWAT team deals with these animals. As much as I'd love to never need their services again, I will be a life time customer of SWAT for all of my urban wildlife management needs.

SWAT Wildlife saved my brain from exploding. I heard scratching and critter activity overhead in the morning and by the same afternoon, Randy arrived to take care of business. Randy found the entry points and promptly took care of everything. He was very pleasant, efficient, and knew exactly what he was doing.Hopefully I won't need their services again but I would definitely recommend them to anyone else.

Called SWAT to take care of some sounds that were coming from the attic. Turned out to be a red squirrel.The technician was very knowledgeable and helpful and took care of the problem. They came when they said they would come and the price was clear and fair. No surprises or extras.

Our neighbours and us called in "SWAT Wildlife" for raccoon in our attics (semi house). They responded & came over very fast. On time & for a good price!Technician was very knowledgeable. He inspected the exterior & interior. Fixed all entry points. For now, put in temporary "one-way" door for the next week - so the raccoon can leave but can't get back in. Preventative suggestions were also made & installed (protective wire cages over all roof vents). It all looks great so far. Fingers crossed it works. A year warranty is included. So far very happy, would recommend the service. Thank you SWAT TEAM! & Big thank you to our technician - Derick!!
