Recognizing the signs of a wildlife infestation on your Calgary property early can make a significant difference in how quickly and cost-effectively the situation can be resolved. Here are the most common signs that wildlife may be present in or around your Calgary home or business:
Unusual Noises in Your Attic, Walls, or Crawl Spaces: Hearing thumping, scratching, scurrying, or chittering sounds coming from your attic, wall cavities, or crawl spaces is one of the most telling early signs of a wildlife infestation in your Calgary property. Raccoons and squirrels are typically active during daylight hours, making daytime noises from above particularly indicative of these species, while other wildlife may be more active during the evening and overnight hours.
Visible Damage to Your Roofline and Exterior: Torn soffits, pulled back fascia boards, damaged roof vents, chewed openings around eaves, and other visible structural damage to the exterior of your Calgary home are strong indicators that wildlife has been actively attempting to gain access to your attic or roof space. Fresh gnaw marks and raw, damaged wood surrounding entry points are particularly telling signs of recent wildlife activity.
Droppings and Urine Odors: Discovering large, unfamiliar droppings in your attic, garage, or around the exterior of your Calgary property is a clear confirmation of wildlife activity. Different species leave behind distinctly different droppings, and a trained Preventive Pest Control technician can often identify the species involved from the size, shape, and location of droppings found during inspection. Persistent and unpleasant odors coming from your attic or wall cavities can also indicate that wildlife has been nesting and leaving waste inside your Calgary home for an extended period.
Disturbed Garbage and Overturned Bins: Regularly finding your garbage bins tipped over, torn open, or raided overnight is one of the most common and recognizable signs of wildlife activity around Calgary residential properties. Raccoons in particular are notorious for their ability to open and raid garbage containers, and consistent overnight disturbance of your waste area is a strong signal that wildlife has identified your property as a reliable food source.
Nesting Materials in Unusual Areas: Discovering leaves, twigs, shredded insulation, paper, and other gathered nesting materials in your attic, crawl spaces, or other sheltered areas of your Calgary property is a clear sign that wildlife has already established a nest inside your home and is actively using it as a shelter and potentially a breeding site.
Tracks and Paw Prints Around Your Property: Finding unfamiliar tracks or paw prints in muddy areas around your Calgary property, near your foundation, or along your roofline access points can help identify the wildlife species present and confirm that animals are actively moving through and around your home on a regular basis.
If you have noticed any of these warning signs on your Calgary property, contact Preventive Pest Control today for a thorough free wildlife inspection and let our experienced Calgary wildlife removal team assess the situation and develop the safest and most effective removal strategy for your specific circumstances.

Professional wildlife control is essential for protecting the safety, health, and structural integrity of your Calgary property. Wildlife species like raccoons, squirrels, and skunks can cause serious and costly damage to attics, wiring, insulation, and foundations while carrying diseases and parasites that pose genuine health risks to your family and pets. Trying out DIY wildlife removal without proper training, equipment, and knowledge of Alberta wildlife regulations is dangerous, ineffective, and potentially illegal. Preventive Pest Control’s professional Calgary wildlife removal team handles every situation safely, humanely, and completely.

Keeping wildlife away from your Calgary property starts with eliminating the conditions that attract them in the first place. Secure garbage bins with tight fitting lids, remove outdoor food sources including pet food and bird feeders placed close to your home, trim overhanging tree branches well away from your roofline, seal gaps and openings around vents, soffits, and your foundation, keep your yard free of debris and clutter, and schedule regular professional wildlife inspections with Preventive Pest Control to stay consistently protected year round.
At Preventive Pest Control, our Calgary wildlife control team handles the full range of urban wildlife species commonly encountered on residential and commercial properties throughout the city and surrounding communities. This includes raccoons, squirrels, skunks, birds, pigeons, starlings, and other nuisance wildlife species that find their way onto Calgary properties throughout the year. Every wildlife removal service we provide is carried out using safe, humane methods that comply fully with local Calgary and Alberta wildlife handling regulations, ensuring the animals are removed responsibly and your property is protected from future wildlife activity.
Yes, wildlife removal in Calgary is subject to provincial regulations under Alberta’s Wildlife Act, which governs how certain wildlife species can be legally trapped, handled, and relocated. Attempting to remove wildlife from your Calgary property without proper knowledge of these regulations can result in unintentional violations that carry real legal consequences. At Preventive Pest Control, our experienced Calgary wildlife removal team is fully familiar with all applicable Alberta wildlife regulations and carries out every removal service in complete compliance with provincial requirements — giving you complete confidence that the situation is being handled legally, responsibly, and humanely.
Absolutely — and the extent of that damage can be far more significant than most Calgary homeowners initially realize. Raccoons are capable of tearing back soffits, pulling up roof shingles, and ripping apart attic insulation to create nesting space. Squirrels frequently chew through electrical wiring in attics, creating a serious fire hazard that can go undetected for extended periods. Skunks denning beneath decks and foundations can undermine structural integrity over time, and birds nesting in roof spaces and ventilation systems can block airflow and create significant sanitation concerns. Professional wildlife removal and exclusion from Preventive Pest Control addresses both the immediate animal presence and the structural vulnerabilities that allowed them to access your Calgary property in the first place.
The most common signs of a wildlife infestation in your Calgary home include unusual noises such as thumping, scratching, or scurrying sounds coming from your attic or wall cavities, visible damage to your roofline including torn soffits, chewed fascia boards, and damaged roof vents, persistent unpleasant odors coming from your attic or crawl spaces, discovering droppings or nesting materials in sheltered areas of your home, and regularly finding your garbage bins raided or overturned overnight. If you are noticing any of these warning signs, contact Preventive Pest Control today for a free Calgary wildlife inspection and let our experienced team assess the situation thoroughly.
Preventing wildlife from re-accessing your Calgary property after removal is just as important as the removal itself — and it is where many DIY attempts fall short. At Preventive Pest Control, every wildlife removal service includes a comprehensive exclusion phase during which our technicians professionally seal all identified entry points using durable, professional grade materials that wildlife cannot chew through or bypass. We also provide personalized prevention recommendations covering tree trimming, garbage management, outdoor food source elimination, and property maintenance strategies that make your Calgary home significantly less attractive to returning wildlife. For ongoing protection, our regular inspection program ensures your property remains consistently monitored and defended against future wildlife activity throughout every season.
