humane wildlife Control | Protecting Homes, Preserving Wildlife
Putting Homeowners & Wildlife First Since 1984
For over four decades, Gates Wildlife has been a leader in humane wildlife control across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. Founded in 1984 by Brad Gates, we set out with a simple mission: to protect homes while ensuring the safety and well-being of the animals we remove. That commitment has guided every innovation, every service call, and every solution we’ve provided since.
Innovators in Humane Wildlife Removal
Brad Gates is recognized as the inventor of the one-way-door, a groundbreaking device that allows animals to exit a home through their entry hole but prevents them from getting back inside. This innovation forever changed the industry, making it possible to evict wildlife without causing harm.
But Brad didn’t stop there. He went on to design the heated reunion box, giving mother raccoons a safe, warm place to reunite with their babies after removal. By prioritizing the bond between mother and young, this invention set a new standard for compassionate wildlife control.
Today, we continue to embrace technology and refinement. With tools like cellular camera monitoring, we can track animal activity in real time, ensuring removals are successful and humane.
Our Innovations
We understand that when wildlife gets into your home, it’s stressful and disruptive. Our team combines decades of experience with industry-leading techniques to resolve conflicts quickly and effectively. At the same time, we never lose sight of the animals’ needs because every life matters.
From squirrels in the attic to raccoons in the roof, our process focuses on:
- Respecting wildlife families by ensuring safe reunions via our heated reunion box.
- Evicting humanely with our one-way-door. No traps or poisons.
- Securing entry points to prevent future intrusions.
One-Way-Door
The one-way door, invented by Brad Gates, revolutionized the wildlife control industry. This simple yet ingenious device allows animals to exit a home but prevents them from getting back inside. No cages, no traps, just a safe and effective way to resolve conflicts without harm.
Heated Reunion Box
Another Gates Wildlife invention, the heated reunion box, ensures that mother raccoons and their babies are safely reunited after removal. By giving the young a warm, secure space outside the home, we allow mothers to relocate their families naturally. This innovation set a new standard of compassion in wildlife control.
Cellular Camera Monitoring
With cellular camera monitoring, our team can check in on wildlife activity remotely, ensuring removals are complete and humane. Thanks to Reolink, Gates is the first wildlife control company to use this advanced tool. The camera lets us confirm animals have safely exited and that no young are left behind, giving homeowners peace of mind and protecting the animals’ well-being.
