M.A.D. specialty
Wildlife capture & relocation
Noises in the attic at 3 AM. A skunk smell under the porch. Droppings in the crawl space you can't identify. When a wild animal moves into your home, it doesn't leave on its own. It nests, it breeds, and it causes damage — to insulation, electrical wiring, and structure.
This isn't an inconvenience — it's a risk to your health and your property.
Our approach
A humane approach, not an improvised solution
At M.A.D., wildlife control isn't a side offering to our extermination service — it's a full specialty. Our three owner-technicians bring over 35 years of combined experience in wildlife management across regions where coexistence with wildlife is a daily reality: urban Outaouais, the wooded Laurentians, and the Ontario border.
-
Inspection and identification
We identify the animal, locate entry points, and assess the scope of the invasion. Correct identification drives everything — a raccoon trap doesn't work for a squirrel.
-
Humane capture
Safety traps, containment techniques — always compliant with Quebec's Ministry of Wildlife and Forests regulations. The animal suffers no unnecessary harm.
-
Safe relocation
The animal is relocated to an appropriate habitat, away from residential areas, following provincial relocation protocols.
-
Exclusion and prevention
We seal all entry points to prevent a return. Soffits, roof overhangs, wall openings, under porches, foundation gaps, ventilation openings — no access overlooked.
-
Restoration if needed
If the animal contaminated an attic (droppings, urine, destroyed insulation), we handle complete restoration: removal of contaminated materials, disinfection, insulation replacement.
Common mammals
The animals we handle — and why each one is a unique case
Each animal requires a different strategy, trap, and timeline.
-
Raccoons
Nesting in attics, under porches. Major damage, significant health risks.
-
Squirrels
Noises in walls, seasonal invasions. Chew electrical wiring (fire risk).
-
Skunks
Persistent odours, digging under foundations. Potential rabies carriers.
-
Groundhogs
Destroyed gardens, tunnels that weaken foundations.
-
Mice
Massive winter invasions, food contamination.
-
Rats
Residential and commercial buildings, rapid reproduction.
-
Voles
Seasonal invasions, damage to insulation and wiring.
Full service
Contaminated attic restoration
A prolonged infestation leaves invisible but dangerous traces: droppings, soaked-in urine, destroyed insulation, risks of hantavirus, histoplasmosis, salmonella.
Our complete service includes safe removal of contaminated materials, disinfection and sanitization, insulation replacement, and minor structural repairs.
We don't do half measures — a poorly restored attic remains a health risk.
Long-term solution
Exclusion & sealing — the real long-term solution
Capturing the animal without sealing the entries is just reserving its spot for next year. We carefully inspect and seal every identified gap.
Prevention > treatment. That's our philosophy.
Wildlife commitment
Safety and respect for wildlife
All our technicians follow provincial standards and animal welfare requirements. Our commitment is uncompromising.
No unnecessary killing. Humane capture, relocation to appropriate habitat.
Territory
Service areas
The wooded Laurentian territory creates a unique coexistence with wildlife. We understand these challenges better than anyone.
