About Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control

Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control is a wildlife removal and pest control business located in the Byron neighbourhood on Fairlane Rd. They serve residential and commercial property owners throughout London and Middlesex County. The company specializes in the humane removal of various species, including raccoons, squirrels, bats, birds, mice, rats, and skunks. Their services focus on identifying entry points, installing preventative exclusion measures, and providing full-service solutions to address the root causes of wildlife conflicts. The company offers a comprehensive three-step process that begins with a detailed property assessment to diagnose the species involved, entry methods, building damage, and potential future points of re-entry. Following removal, the team provides cleaning services to address contamination from urine and feces, which can include complete attic restoration where they remove damaged insulation, disinfect the space, and reinsulate using cellulose. To prevent future issues, they install physical barriers to secure entry points, offering a lifetime guarantee against re-entry on any serviced areas. Founded in 1989 by Bill Dowd, the business was established with a mission to provide humane alternatives to traditional trapping and relocation methods, which the founder identified as having low survival rates for animals. The company grew from a small operation into a large organization with over 40 locations across Canada and the United States. Skedaddle describes its approach as being client-focused, transparent, and honest, emphasizing a hands-on technique where technicians climb ladders and crawl into tight spaces to ensure homes are protected without harming the wildlife.
