Understanding the Challenge of Wildlife on your property

We provide exclusion work for raccoons, skunks, bats, squirrels, and other nuisance wildlife. From inspections to prevention, we ensure your property stays safe and critter-free year-round.

Tsawwassen’s rich natural environment, encompassing its coastal areas, Boundary Bay, and agricultural lands, provides an inviting habitat for local wildlife. This often leads to animals like raccoons, squirrels, and skunks venturing into residential zones. These creatures commonly seek food or shelter in yards, crawlspaces, and attics, particularly in neighborhoods bordering the less developed natural spaces or farms that are more common in Tsawwassen.

At 1st Pest Control, we provide humane wildlife control services to homes throughout Ladner and Tsawwassen. Our team is trained in ethical removal, exclusion techniques, and long-term prevention to keep wildlife out of your space while protecting the integrity of the local environment.

Have you spotted wildlife in your property?

Wildlife control in Tsawwassen: A step-by-step guide for dealing with any type of wildlife on your property:

Observe and Identify

Identify the species if possible (e.g., raccoon, skunk, fox, deer, birds, snakes).
Note behaviour patterns: Are they just passing through or nesting/living on your property?

Remove Attractants

Secure garbage in wildlife-resistant bins.
Bring pet food indoors—don’t leave it out overnight.
Clean up fallen fruit, birdseed, and food scraps.
Eliminate standing water, which attracts many animals.

Protect your Home

Inspect structures (attic, shed, crawlspaces, decks, chimneys).
Seal entry points using wire mesh or other sturdy materials—after confirming no animals are inside.
Install chimney caps and repair broken vents or screens.

Modify the habitat

Trim trees and shrubs away from buildings to reduce shelter.
Clear brush piles, wood stacks, and tall grass.
Use fencing for gardens or small animals if needed.

Use Humane Deterrents

Motion-activated lights, sprinklers, or alarms to scare off intruders.
Repellents (scent, taste, or ultrasonic) specific to the species.
Visual deterrents like predator decoys or reflective tape for birds.

Follow Local Laws

Many animals are protected by provincial or federal wildlife laws.
Avoid trapping, relocating, or harming wildlife without proper permits.

Know When to Call a Professional

The animal is aggressive or possibly rabid.
It’s nesting in or damaging your home.
You’re unsure how to remove it safely.
Local laws require professional handling (common with protected species).

When DIY Wildlife Removal Methods Fall Short

DIY Pest control sold at home improvement stores are not very effective and seldom provide homeowners with protection against pests

DIY wildlife control efforts—like traps, repellents, or sealing entry points—may offer temporary relief, but they rarely solve the full issue. Wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, or birds are resourceful, persistent, and can return if not properly excluded. They often nest in hard-to-reach places like attics, crawlspaces, or under decks, making complete removal difficult without professional help.

If wildlife activity continues despite your attempts, contact 1st Pest Control for humane and effective methods to remove wildlife, identify how they’re getting in, and implement prevention strategies—helping protect your property long-term.
