About Us

Skedaddle Humane Wildlife Control was founded in 1989 with the goal of providing homeowners humane and effective solutions to wildlife conflicts. Founder and President Bill Dowd believed there had to be alternatives to the inhumane, cruel and often ineffective methods used at the time. Since then, we have gone on to pioneer a humane approach to wildlife control that offers superior results without causing harm or distress to wildlife.

Calling for wildlife control is something no homeowner wants to do. Our full-service wildlife solutions, delivered by highly trained technicians, are designed to take the stress out of it all. Our objective is to provide homeowners with a permanent solution that includes a humane removal, decontamination, and preventative measures that keep your home and family safe from wild animals. We are proudly endorsed by SPCA and Humane Societies for the methods that we use.



Headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario, we have since grown to over 25 locations across Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia as well as Wisconsin and Texas in the United States. Each one of our Skedaddle locations provide targeted removal and prevention solutions for bats, rodents, birds, squirrels, skunks, and raccoons. Our teams of highly trained wildlife technicians will provide you with a detailed rundown of all the vulnerable areas of your home, and together you will create a plan that best suits your needs. Our responsive customer service center is always available to answer any of your questions or concerns.

We began with a single truck and a clear vision of helping homeowners find humane solutions to wildlife problems. Over thirty years later, our focus has not changed and we remain as committed as ever to providing the very best in customer service. With our lifetime guarantee, you can rest assured that your home is protected, and help from Skedaddle is always just a phone call away.
