What makes Hawkeye different from other wildlife control companies?

Hawkeye is the ONLY pest bird and animal/wildlife control company in Canada designated "Certified Wildlife Control Professional" AND holding the following permits/licenses:

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals
In contrast to all other companies, we can euthanize the bird or fur bearing animal, thus guaranteeing it will not return.

Commercial Falconry Permit
We use Birds of Prey (hawks, owls, falcons, eagles) to scare, chase, or remove in a natural and humane way.

Ontario Pest Control License
We can employ chemical solutions to certain problems. These methods include natural pesticides.

Trapping of Fur Bearing Animals Permit Shooting in Sensitive Environments
Our extensive training and certifications allow us to use pyrotechnics or firearms, even in urban settings.

We offer PERMANENT solutions above and beyond what other companies can offer. GUARANTEED.

35+ years of Bird and Animal Wildlife Control probably speaks for itself.

Our love for and experience in dealing with Pest Birds and Animal Wildlife has taken us to Airports, Hospitals, Municipal Parks and Marinas, High Rise Buildings, Manufacturing Plants, and to homes all across southern Ontario.

Our unique approach and proprietary equipment as well as our extensive training truly set us apart. All of our technicians are licensed trappers and undergo continued training in areas of safety and best practices.

Why Humane Raccoon Removal Is the Best Option in Oakville

Oakville, like many urban centres in Ontario, struggles with the effects of a growing raccoon population. Unfortunately, the number of raccoons in your neighbourhood is directly connected to the availability of food sources and den sites.

Raccoons are very intelligent nocturnal animals with paws that are able to pry things open, turn knobs and handle objects. They are especially skillful at opening garbage and compost bins. So, why are urban raccoons a concern and what should you do about them? Join us as we explore how we can discourage raccoons and other wildlife from visiting our homes, as well as how to humanely evict them once they've invited themselves in.

The Problem with Raccoon Infestations in Oakville

Why Are Raccoons a Concern?

Concerns vary from what is often referred to as 'nuisance' damage and real damage to your home or property to health issues for pets, humans, and yes, even the raccoons themselves.

Nuisance Damage
This includes tossed over trash bins, strewn about garbage, or torn up lawns - things that require your time and effort but are not costly.
Property Damage
In order to access your home, raccoons have to find or 'create' a way in. They do so by tearing up roofs and siding, damaging roof vents, etc. Once they've made it inside your home, they often rip apart insulation and disturb wiring - all of which can lead to more serious hazards like water damage, an unnecessarily high hydro bill, or even a fire. And here's where it can get expensive fast.
Health Risks
Of course, raccoons are the primary carrier of rabies - a viral disease that is fatal if contracted by humans (pets, too). There are also lesser known viral and bacterial diseases transmitted by raccoons: Raccoon Roundworm, Distemper, and Leptospirosis. And, a diet of human leftovers isn't good for the raccoons, either. None of our highly processed foods fulfill their nutritional requirements and an easy trash can meal will not encourage the animals to forage for more nutritional and appropriate foods.
Traffic and Road Safety
This area is often overlooked; there are thousands of collisions with raccoons and other wildlife on Ontario's roads every year. Not only is this expensive but any automobile accident can also lead to serious injuries to drivers and passengers (never mind the animals - it's usually fatal for them).

With all of these concerns in mind, we should do our best to modify our environment and not inadvertently invite raccoons into our space. There are a number of actions we can take or habits we might need to change to prevent wildlife from viewing our home as an all-inclusive resort. And, if it's too late for that and we're already hosting one or more trash pandas, there is humane raccoon removal.
