Get Em Out Wildlife Control is reflecting on multiple years of industry recognition and the evolution of home protection standards in the wildlife removal and pest control sector, with founder Sean Robertson identifying the shifts in professional practice, client expectations, and regulatory awareness that have shaped how the company operates across Ottawa and surrounding communities. The company has received multiple industry awards over its operating history, including the Top Choice Award on three separate occasions, a record that Robertson attributes to the company's consistent application of permanent exclusion principles rather than reactive removal approaches.
Wildlife removal as a professional practice has changed considerably over the past decade, as awareness of the limitations of reactive trapping has grown among both practitioners and property owners. The earlier dominant model of the sector, which focused on removing the animal currently present without systematically addressing the structural conditions that allowed entry, produced high rates of repeat service calls as successive animals accessed the same unaddressed entry points. The shift toward exclusion-first practice, in which entry-point identification and permanent sealing are the primary deliverables rather than byproducts of removal, has produced better outcomes for clients and reduced the demand for repeat services that characterized the previous approach.
Industry recognition programs that evaluate wildlife control companies through consumer surveys have become a meaningful signal in a market where service quality is difficult for property owners to assess before engaging a contractor. Animals in attics, walls, and crawl spaces are not visible to homeowners until they hear activity or detect odours, and the quality of the exclusion work that prevents recurrence is similarly invisible until the following season confirms whether it held. Third-party recognition based on client-reported outcomes across multiple award cycles provides an external validation of service effectiveness that the nature of the work makes difficult to assess through direct observation.
"When you look at the recognition this company has received over the years, what it actually reflects is a consistent outcome for clients," said Sean Robertson, Founder of Get Em Out Wildlife Control. "A homeowner who calls us because something is in their attic and then calls us again the following spring because something is back in has not been well served regardless of what happened in between. The recognition comes from clients who didn't have to call us a second time, and that's the outcome the exclusion approach is built to produce."
Get Em Out Wildlife Control provides animal control services in Ottawa for residential and commercial properties, covering the full range of wildlife species that access Ottawa-area structures, including raccoons, squirrels, skunks, bats, birds, and mice. The company's service process begins with a property inspection that identifies all current and potential entry points, documents the conditions contributing to the intrusion, and develops a removal and exclusion plan tailored to the property's species and structural characteristics. That inspection-led approach ensures that the scope of exclusion addresses the property's full vulnerability profile rather than only the most recently used entry point.
The company's work as a pest control provider in Ottawa extends beyond wildlife to include insect pest management across the residential and commercial properties it serves. Integrated pest management principles, which address pest conditions through a combination of physical exclusion, habitat modification, and targeted treatment rather than broad chemical application, apply across both wildlife and insect service categories. That approach aligns with the direction of Ontario pest control regulation and with growing client preference for pest management programs that minimize chemical exposure in occupied spaces.
Raccoon removal in Ottawa is one of the company's most consistently active service categories across the region, reflecting the adaptability of raccoon populations to urban environments and the density of older residential structures that provide accessible entry points for a species comfortable exploiting human-built shelter. Raccoon exclusion work requires a thorough approach to entry-point identification and sealing, as raccoons can exploit smaller gaps than most homeowners anticipate and will investigate adjacent entry points when a primary access point is blocked. Sean Robertson's decade-plus of raccoon exclusion experience across properties in Ottawa has refined the company's inspection methodology to account for the full range of access strategies the species employs.
