While our project had some minor hiccups (racoon mom would not come back for babies), he eventually took care of everything for us." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "Louis was awesome to work with for our raccoon-in-attic challenge. Highly responsive, and efficient on scheduling (when he had an opening free-up, he reached out to see if we would be interested in an earlier appointment than was previously available to us). We reached-out after the initial visit with an observation, and he came in-person to take a look and make adjustments to the setup. Everything kept near & tidy while he worked, and after his visit. A positive experience, with a diligent pro." > Source: Richard (5.0, via HomeStars) > "Louis was very personable and knowledgeable and kept me involved in his decision making.. He actually went up into the attic and showed me pictures of where the raccoon had entered and explained what he needed to do to ensure that the raccoon would not be motivated to return. I am very satisfied with the service and will recommend Louis to my friends and neighbours." > Source: David Moore (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Pest control ## What we checked, and when _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MTT is showing 270 public reviews on this profile.

A reputable firm explains the problem and the plan and proofs the entry points, not just sprays and leaves. - Be wary of contracts that lock you into repeat visits you may not need; ask whether a one-off treatment with a guarantee would solve it before signing up to an ongoing plan. - Check they use approved, safe methods and carry insurance. It matters around children, pets, and anywhere food is prepared. - Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire. - A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay. --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/ca-homestars-a-1-checkmate-wildlife-remova-2859251 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
