Wildlife intrusion in Algonquin typically follows the same pattern: an animal finds a gap in the roofline, soffit, or foundation and moves in for shelter. Dense brick bungalows and two-flats throughout the city, alongside single-family ranch and colonial homes across the suburbs, most with basements. Humane, one-way exclusion is the standard approach so animals can leave but not re-enter.
Because sealing an entry point too early can trap an animal inside a wall or attic void, our approach always starts with confirming the species and any young present. From there, humane exclusion devices allow the animal to leave on its own schedule, with permanent sealing following once the space is clear.
