The guide’s first question concerns how animals will be removed. A professional wildlife and pest control company should explain whether humane one-way door systems will be used, how the entry point will be identified, and what prevents re-entry. Removing an animal without sealing the entry point leaves the homeowner exposed to repeat infestations.
Materials, Appearance, and a Second Contractor
The guide advises homeowners to ask what will be installed at entry points and whether materials will match the existing colour of the home’s soffit, fascia, and roofline. A raccoon in the attic is a problem; visible wire mesh or foam left behind signals it was covered rather than resolved. Homeowners should also ask upfront whether repairs are included or will require a separate contractor once animals are gone.
“We do the repairs ourselves because homeowners shouldn’t have to hire a second company to finish the job,” said Sean Robertson, founder of Get ’Em Out Wildlife Control Inc.
What the Guarantee Actually Covers
“The fifth question is the one that matters most after the job is done,” said Robertson. “Ask for the guarantee in writing, and make sure you understand exactly what it covers before anyone starts work. We back our exclusion and repair work with a lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship in the areas we service, because a homeowner shouldn’t have to deal with the same problem twice.”
