Client understands that the removal process could take months to remove. Client understands they must be patient and may have to tolerate noises for a long period of time. Wildlife must come out when they are ready to do so. Not much anyone can do during the cold seasons.

BABY WILDLIFE:

Removal of baby wildlife from attics can be difficult due to accessibility and the age of the wildlife. If the wildlife can move around and hide this will require new strategies and may cost more to resolve the problem as quoted.  Baby removal from attics starts at $250 but can go up from there. Pro Trap cannot guarantee we will get all of the wildlife out of an attic space, due to wildlife are able to fall into walls and unreachable places.

Pro Trap will not remove skunks from a property unless it was quoted on contract or charged separately.

BAT REMOVAL:

Client fully understands that bats are one of the hardest to get rid of. Due to the fact that they can get into the smallest of gaps.

Client understands Pro Trap cannot stop bats from landing on the home or structure after a seal up has been completed. Bats may land and leave a mess for years after. Client understands no one has control over that, and no one can warranty that. Client understands some bats may not get out in the allotted time of the removal process. Bats can survive for many months trapped inside a building or structure. Client understands other fees may apply above the quoted price if other strategies are required. Client understands any bat removal from inside a building or structure is never covered by any warranty and removal fees will apply for each.

SICK WILDLIFE:

If Pro Trap is required to remove sick or injured wildlife ($50.00+hst) will be added to the quoted pricing for each. Due to having to handle sick wildlife differently than the healthy wildlife. The cleaning process after handling sick wildlife is extensive and takes a lot of time. Removal of sick wildlife must be dispatched humanely by law.
