We saw a review of Gates Wildlife Control that mentioned that their home had cedar shingles. Our home has cedar shingles. We had been trying to get rid of squirrels whom had chewed their way through our shingles at the corner and was nesting in our roof for several weeks last spring. Gates' service both on the phone and in person was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They even recognized the address and said they had been to our house when the previous owners had squirrel issues. the previous summer we had had some work done to the sofits and eaves. The people doing the work had removed all the protection that had previously put in place to stop the squirrels from entering. Gates visited our property and performed a complete inspection before providing us with an estimate to solve the problem. In the end a oneway trap was installed and all other possible entry points were sealed. Gates returned the following week and the oneway trap door was removed and we haven't had any squirrels since.

Hi Sheryle, thank you for your excellent review of my company. We do come across situations where homeowners replace eavestroughs or shingles and in the process previously installed protective screening is removed. Therefore, in time the animals will discover the openings and get back in. Thank you for allowing us to humanely solve your wildlife problem. Brad Gates, B.Sc. Owner / President
