OTTAWA, ON – June 26, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Sean Robertson, founder of Get Em Out Wildlife Control, is sharing a decade of direct experience in wildlife removal to help Ottawa homeowners better understand the wildlife pressures common in the region, the limitations of reactive removal approaches, and the structural interventions that produce long-term results. Robertson established the company after recognizing a gap in the Ottawa market for wildlife control services built on permanent exclusion rather than seasonal trapping cycles.
Ottawa’s geographic position adjacent to the Ottawa River, Gatineau Park, and extensive green belt areas creates conditions that sustain high densities of urban wildlife across a wide range of species. Raccoons, squirrels, skunks, bats, and starlings are among the species Robertson identifies as most frequently encountered in residential intrusion calls across the Ottawa region. Each species exploits a distinct set of structural vulnerabilities in residential buildings, and effective management requires identifying entry points that account for the specific access preferences of the species involved.
One of the most consistent patterns Robertson has observed over a decade of service calls is the gap between what homeowners believe they need and what the situation actually requires. Homeowners who call for raccoon removal in their attic typically want the animal removed. What Robertson has found produces lasting results is the combination of removal with a thorough inspection of the structure, identification of all current and potential entry points, and permanent exclusion of those access paths so that neither the removed animal nor others of the same species can re-enter. Without exclusion, the same property typically generates another intrusion call within one to three seasons.
“A decade in this work teaches you that the animal in the attic is a symptom, not the problem,” said Sean Robertson, Founder of Get Em Out Wildlife Control. “The problem is the gap in the fascia, the deteriorated soffit, or the uncapped chimney that let it in. Remove the animal without addressing those entry points, and you have not solved anything – you have reset the clock on the next intrusion. That’s the insight it took years of repeat service calls to fully appreciate, and it shapes everything about how we approach a job now.”
Get Em Out Wildlife Control provides Ottawa pest control and wildlife management services for residential and commercial properties across Ottawa and surrounding communities. The company’s inspection process documents all identified entry points and conditions that create intrusion risk, providing homeowners with a complete picture of their property’s vulnerability rather than addressing only the immediate complaint. That documentation also supports insurance claims and property disclosure requirements when wildlife intrusion has caused structural damage.
Robertson’s experience extends to Kemptville pest control and wildlife management in rural and semi-rural communities south of Ottawa, where agricultural land use, proximity to woodlots, and lower residential density create wildlife pressures that differ from those in urban Ottawa in species composition and intrusion patterns. Rural properties with barns, outbuildings, and large lot sizes present a broader set of entry-point vulnerabilities than urban homes, and the species involved often include groundhogs, foxes, and migratory birds not commonly encountered in urban service calls.
The company also provides gutter cleaning services in Ottawa, reflecting an understanding that clogged gutters and deteriorated roofline components are among the most common structural conditions that facilitate wildlife entry into residential attics and wall cavities. Organic debris accumulation in gutters creates habitat for insects that attract foraging wildlife, while deteriorated fascia and soffit adjacent to gutters provide the access points that wildlife exploit. Integrating gutter maintenance into a wildlife exclusion program addresses the structural conditions that drive intrusion risk rather than treating the symptom in isolation.
