A raccoon in the attic or a skunk under the deck is stressful — and it's a job with legal and humane obligations most homeowners don't realize. Terra13's wildlife removal service, from Terra13 Pest Control, handles raccoons, skunks, and squirrels across Winnipeg with live trapping, one-way exclusion doors, attic eviction, den removal, and entry-point sealing — never poisons.
Wildlife move into attics, chimneys, decks, and sheds looking for a warm, safe place to den — often to raise young. That's exactly why removal has to be done carefully: sealing a hole without checking for babies can trap dependent young inside your walls, which is both inhumane and a worse problem.
It's also regulated. DIY trapping and relocation is often illegal or restricted in Manitoba, so a licensed technician handling it legally and humanely protects both the animal and you.
The Wildlife We Handle in Winnipeg
Terra13 handles the animals that most often move into Winnipeg homes and yards:
- Raccoons — strong, clever animals that den in attics and chimneys, often with kits.
- Skunks — den under decks, sheds, and porches, and get trapped in window wells.
- Squirrels — chew into soffits and rooflines to nest in attics.
- Other nuisance wildlife — assessed case by case within Manitoba regulations.
Humane Removal, Then Sealing
Terra13 uses live trapping, hands-on removal, and one-way exclusion doors that let an animal leave but not return — never poisons. Where there are dependent young, they're removed with the mother wherever possible. Live-trapping a raccoon usually needs a few days of monitored trap checks.
Once we've confirmed the animal and any young are out, we seal the entry point properly and can remove dens and clean up contaminated nesting material. Sealing before the animal is confirmed out is exactly the mistake that traps young inside — so the order of operations matters.

Wildlife Removal FAQ
How much does wildlife removal cost in Winnipeg?
Pricing is affordable and based on inspection findings, pest activity, access, and treatment scope. We confirm the recommendation before work begins.
Can you come for an emergency wildlife situation?
Yes. Terra13 runs a 24/7 emergency line for active wildlife problems such as a raccoon loose inside the house, a skunk trapped in a window well, or an injured animal on your property. Same-day response for most Winnipeg addresses inside the perimeter.
How long does wildlife removal take?
An initial removal or exclusion-door setup takes 30-60 minutes on-site. Live-trapping a raccoon usually needs 2-5 days of monitored trap checks. Full entry-point sealing is scheduled once we confirm the animal and any young are out.
Is wildlife removal humane and safe?
Yes. We use live trapping, hands-on removal, and one-way exclusion doors, never poisons. All work follows Manitoba wildlife regulations, and dependent young are removed with the mother wherever possible.
Do I need to leave my home during the work?
No. Wildlife removal does not require evacuation. Most work happens in the attic, on the roofline, or in the yard. We will let you know if cleanup of contaminated insulation means staying out of one room for a short while.
What if the animal comes back?
Free re-service within the warranty period, typically 60 days on every sealed entry point. If wildlife gets back in through a spot we sealed, we return at no cost.
Why not just trap and relocate the animal myself?
DIY trapping and relocation is often illegal or restricted in Manitoba, and sealing a hole without checking for young can trap babies inside your walls. A licensed technician handles it humanely, legally, and seals the entry point properly.
