Wild Animal & Rodent Removal Services in Prescott-Russell, ON
Natura Wildlife Services is based in Clarence-Rockland, so Prescott-Russell isn't a region we drive out to. It's where we live and work. For more than 10 years we've been getting raccoons out of attics, mice out of basements and bats out of garages between the Ottawa River and the South Nation, from Hawkesbury in the east to Limoges and Casselman along the 417.
​
Every job starts the same way. We find out which animal is in there and how it's getting in. Then we get it out humanely and seal the building so it can't come back.

What's different about wildlife in Prescott-Russell
​
Homes next to farmland​
Much of Prescott-Russell is farm country, and homes along the rural roads and at the edges of the villages sit right beside open fields. When the fields are harvested, mice and rats head for the nearest shelter: a garage, a basement or the space under a deck. We seal the entry points they actually use, such as gaps under doors, utility penetrations and damaged siding, so the problem doesn't just come back next year.
​
The Ottawa River shoreline
From Rockland to Hawkesbury, homes along the Ottawa River see more raccoons, skunks and waterside wildlife than homes further inland. The river corridor gives animals food, cover and an easy route between properties. Riverside decks, boathouses and crawlspaces are common den sites, and rats move into riverside sheds, garages and boathouses.
Along the Highway 417 corridor
Casselman, Limoges and the communities along the 417 are an easy drive from our Clarence-Rockland base. When a raccoon is stuck in a chimney or a bird is trapped in a vent, call or text and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.
Forest-edge neighbourhoods
The Larose Forest runs between Bourget, Limoges and Casselman. Newer subdivisions built against its edge get squirrels, raccoons and bats moving from the tree line straight into soffits and attic vents.

Frequently asked questions
​Do you come out to rural properties?
Yes. We work on homes, businesses, sheds and decks across the whole region, in the villages and along the rural roads. We don't take on barn or farm-building work, apart from keeping birds out of barn and stable vents.
​
Can I get service in French?
Oui. Erik and Kariane are both bilingual. Just call or text in the language you prefer.
Will you kill the animal?
Our approach is humane removal and exclusion: getting the animal out and sealing the building so it can't return. With baby raccoons, for example, we use one-way doors and reunite the babies with their mother wherever possible.​
