Putting Homeowners & Wildlife First For 40+ Years
At Gates Wildlife Control, we didn’t just start a company – we started a movement. We took an industry rooted in outdated, inhumane practices and redefined it through innovation, compassion, and education.
Gates Wildlife was founded by Brad Gates, the inventor of the one-way-door and heated reunion box. We specialize in removing raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and other animals from homes without causing harm.

Unlike many competitors, Gates employs experienced, certified professionals who are extensively trained in wildlife behaviour and control. Our team is committed to ensuring animals are treated with care while also delivering exceptional service to customers.
Humane versus Inhumane Wildlife Removal Companies
The wildlife control industry is neither regulated nor licensed. No governing body sets standards for what is ethical, safe, humane, or legal. As a result, many operators unknowingly use methods that compromise animal welfare and fail to address customer concerns adequately. When it comes to wildlife removal, the distinction between humane and inhumane practices is critical—not only for the well-being of the animals involved but also for the safety and satisfaction of homeowners. While most individuals who start wildlife removal companies do not intend to be inhumane, the lack of formal training and regulation in the industry often leads to practices that inadvertently harm wildlife.
Here’s a closer look at what sets Gates apart from Other wildlife removal companies:
Why It Matters
Choosing the right wildlife removal company is about more than just solving a nuisance wildlife problem—it’s about ensuring the safety of the animals, the effectiveness of the solution, and your peace of mind. Gates Wildlife Control exemplifies what humane, ethical, and professional wildlife removal should look like, setting the standard in an industry that too often lacks attention to detail.
When faced with a wildlife issue, remember that your choice matters. Opt for a company like Gates Wildlife that prioritizes humane practices, customer satisfaction, and long-term solutions over quick fixes and convenience.
