We need more of this type of practice in Windsor. Too bad they only operate in the GTA.

Do you have birds in your vents? Here’s How Gates Wildlife Control Handles It - Humanely

Every spring, we receive countless calls from homeowners discovering birds have taken up residence in their stove, bathroom, or dryer exhaust vents. While it might seem harmless at first, letting birds nest in these areas can cause serious problems for both your home and your health.

When birds block a bathroom fan vent, the moist air from showers can’t escape, leading to mold and mildew buildup inside your home. With stove and dryer vents, the obstruction can become a fire hazard or affect appliance performance. And let’s not forget the unpleasant odours, buildup of nesting materials, and the potential for feather mites that can spread throughout the house.

At Gates Wildlife Control, we handle these situations with our signature humane approach. Instead of removing the birds and leaving the babies helpless, we carefully extract the nest and place the baby birds into a specially designed jug mounted near the exterior vent. This allows the parent birds to continue feeding and caring for their young until they naturally fledge and leave the nest.

We clean out the vent, install a high-quality galvanized steel screen cover to prevent future nesting, and restore proper ventilation to your home.

We believe in solving wildlife problems with compassion and responsibility - because no creature should suffer for simply following its instincts.

If you suspect birds have moved into your vents, don’t wait. Give us a call and let us help you protect your home, your health, and the birds - safely and humanely.

Congratulations to Rahi who won the gift basket at Dan Mennill's bird talk at Ojibway Nature Centre last week. A big shout out to Vortex Canada for donating the binoculars in the gift basket. Vortex Canada is PIBO's official optics partner for 2025. Rahi began bird watching in 2023 and we are happy he has a great pair of binoculars to continue his hobby.

Bill 5 would keep Ontario dependent on fracked gas, repeal the Endangered Species Act and give the Premier Trump-like powers to immunize any person, business, or property he chooses from any (or every) provincial and municipal law. Sign this petition to stand up for democracy and the rule of law!
