What is VEXT’s Wildlife Control service?

VEXT’s wildlife control service involves capturing, relocating, and releasing unwanted wild animals that have entered homes or surrounding areas. Unlike extermination, this method relies on environmentally and animal-friendly interventions.

When to Call VEXT for Wildlife Control:

• Animal in the attic
• Skunk or groundhog under the shed
• Mice and rats in the walls
• Birds in the soffits
• Squirrels in the roof or gutters

VEXT technicians are trained to identify entry points, install safe traps, and relocate the animals to natural environments far from residential areas.

Who is this service for?

Urban or semi-rural homeowners: Residential areas near forests, parks, or fields are especially vulnerable to wildlife intrusion. As temperatures drop, animals look for shelter—and your home may become their ideal hideout.

Secondary homes and cottages: Cottages are easy targets due to infrequent human presence, proximity to nature, and many accessible hiding spots. A raccoon or a marten can quickly cause significant damage.

Multi-unit buildings and businesses: Property managers, daycares, or warehouses also call on VEXT to prevent health risks related to animals (urine, droppings, damage, odors).

Homeowners concerned with animal welfare: This non-lethal approach appeals to those who prefer humane methods—no poison or deadly traps.

Why you shouldn’t try to fix it yourself

It might be tempting to set your own trap or seal up entry points, but the consequences can be serious:

• Capturing a wild animal without a permit may be illegal. In Quebec, specific permits are required.
• A mishandled skunk can spray inside your home.
• Blocking an entry without confirming the animal has left may trap it inside, leading to its death and a strong odor of decomposition.

Calling VEXT’s professionals helps avoid costly and stressful mistakes, ensuring an effective and lasting solution.

Wildlife Control in 5 key steps

1. On-site assessment: inspection of access points, tracks, and damage.
2. Custom action plan: strategy based on the specific species.
3. Installation of traps or exclusion devices.
4. Animal relocation to a safe, suitable environment.
5. Preventive recommendations to avoid future intrusions.

When to call VEXT: Warning signs

Here are some clues that wildlife may be present in your home:

• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings at night
• Smell of urine, feces, or skunk
• Nests or debris in the attic or under the shed
• Tracks, fur, or droppings around the property

Act quickly if you notice any of these signs to prevent further damage and reclaim your peace of mind.

An eco-friendly and safe service

What sets VEXT apart is its commitment to eco-responsible practices. We never use harmful or radical methods. Every relocation is done in compliance with Quebec’s regulations and with respect for the animal’s life cycle.

VEXT is known for its sustainable approach, making every intervention a smart balance between protecting your home and coexisting respectfully with local wildlife.

Preventing intrusions: Expert advice

After relocation, VEXT technicians will provide recommendations to prevent animals from returning:

• Seal openings around the roof, foundation, or soffits
• Keep food sources (compost, bird feeders) away
• Store firewood away from the house
• Install screens on air vents
• Repair cracks in foundations or fences

These simple steps, along with an annual inspection, can prevent most intrusions.
