Racoon Issue

Had this company sealed a hole on my roof 3 years ago. Soon I realized that the work was not done properly, as after 1 year or so, the animal was able to tear the hole half open again. I didn't call the company right away, because I did't see any animals going in through the opening. Until recently I saw a scorrow entering through the hole, then I called the company's GTA office number, Donna picked up and claimed that the warranty ended 3 months ago, even though I explained to her that the hole was already there for 2 years. It is actually obvious that the hole was not new. She went on quoting me $140 for inspectation and $350 for installing a one-way door. Why would anyone work with this company if they already know that they can not do the work properly? As I recall from my experience dealing with this company, the customer service from the office staff and technicians have been poor too. So no reason to go back and definitely not recommending this company to anyone I know.

Company Response

Dear Tiffany,

I was most concerned to receive your letter from HomeStars dated Oct 16, 2012 regarding your compliant.

ICE aims to consistently deliver professional service to our customers. We also know how frustrating it can be to be dealing with raccoons and our goal is to help the homeowner. We provided your home with a raccoon service on July 17, 2009. Our raccoon program always starts with an inspection of a home and at that time a quote was presented to you. Quote #3769 addressed the cost of fixing the entry point of where the raccoons were entering (required work). On quote #3769 we also addressed potential weak spots on your home. At that time you chose not to have any prevention (suggested work) put in place. I have reviewed your paper work and in 2009 our warranty on your work order states it is 1 year warranty, work order #08631. We stood behind our warranty and on Sept 12, 2012 we came out to your home to check our work, work order #09231. It was secure and raccoons were only walking on your roof and at that time there were no new entry points. I am sorry to hear you are having an issue with squirrels now. ICE can most certainly help and implement a squirrel program for your home. Because it has been 2 years and 3 months after your warranty has expired we would most definitely have to start with an inspection and quote for these different issues.

Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention and that you will have no further cause for any complaint in relation to our service.

Kindest Regards,

Scruff

Rodent infestation

We have a problem with a dead rodent somewhere in our house. Owen and Trevor came separately, both determined to discover the source of the odour. They spent over 2 hours investigating and provided a solution (that another vendor will have to undertake).
We were charged only $125 for their long investigation.
Both were very professional and courteous.

Mouse Infestation in Oakville

For more than 8 months we have been using a reputable Pest Control Company to bait and poison mice we have living in our garage and attic. While the poison has been successfully killing the mice that have entered our home, it has not prevented new mice from getting in.

In early February 2012, we knew that our “mouse problem” was becoming more serious, as the level of activity and noise in our attic had increased dramatically. After researching on the internet, I found ICE (Innovative Care of the Environment, Inc.) and I liked their philosophy regarding wildlife and the environment, very respectful. Once I made the call, we were able to get a thorough inspection of our home within a few days.

Owen and Rich showed up bright and early Saturday morning for the Inspection of our home. After more than an hour going through all potential exterior entry points ( garage, roof, gaps in the mortar etc.) and inspecting our attic, Owen(the Area Supervisor) broke the news to us that we not only had a mouse problem, but a full blown ‘infestation’. Owen identified our key problem areas and explained to us how ICE could prevent our problem from reoccurring. The quote and explanation were very detailed and despite appearing costly at first glance, with a 3 year written guarantee of their work, we knew this was the right company to deal with our infestation.

Within a week, we had a team onsite consisting of Adam and Rich. They paid meticulous attention to detail: screening all roof vents and pipes, caulking the entire house, filling in every gap in our mortar, wire screening the inside of our garage - essentially sealing off any entry points for mice. The project was of massive and detailed proportion, taking more than 4 days to complete. Adam and Rich were polite, friendly, and respectful to our property – very professional. Adam was an excellent team lead, he kept the project moving and kept us informed as it was happening.

We were very pleased with the end result and the great communication we had with our Technicians but also with the Administrative staff, Linda and Donna were terrific and couldn't have been more helpful!! I would highly recommend ICE based on our very positive experience.

removal of carcass from attic

ICE Inc. saved us from another company's poor work!

We initially hired another wildlife control company to remove a family of red squirrels from our attic. A few weeks after their work was "done", we noticed a very bad smell in one of the bathrooms. After hounding them to recheck the attic (suspecting a dead animal trapped inside and now dead and rotting), they finally sent a technician to check - he did a very cursory check, found nothing, suggested we start randomly cutting our dry wall to find the source of the smell, charged us (on top of what we had already paid for the initial work) and left.

That's where ICE Inc. comes in. We called them to explain our strong suspicion that there was a dead animal left behind in the attic and requested they come check it out. They were extremely courteous and helpful and sent a technician out the next day. He was very thorough in investigating the smell first in the house and then went up to the attic. He located the carcass of a red squirrel, removed it, deodorized the area in the attic as well as the house, and the smell was gone within 24 hrs. We were extremely pleased the with competence and professionalism of this gentleman, and would not hesitate to recommend this ICE Inc. to anyone who needs wildlife (dead or alive) removed from their property.

preventative pest control

used this company for insect prevention so the home was sprayed and was advise not to paint the baseboard area for a month. when they checked the attic it was recommended mice abatement which was approx 225 for approx 1/2 dozen boxed traps which did not think it was a good value considering the rep indicated a case of these traps did not cost a lot. I would suggest taking care of the mice yourseld. overwise the rep that came to the house was professional

Determine & deal with skunk under porch.

This company has phone numbers in Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington & Halton Hills/Milton. They charged me 140 to come out to assess our problem. The guy looked at the porch and said a skunk could live there. Then he said it would be at least 700 to dig and screen the area. I did not notice he evaluated the area any more than we had. He did not look for any tell-tale signs or go close enough to use any sort of expertise. For his guess that a skunk could be living under the porch he charged me 140! They called back a week later to follow up and I told them that the price was exorbitant and that they already had received enough from me. We turned the hose on and tried to flush out a skunk and nothing happened so we are just leaving the lights on at night for now. There is no other way to get rid of a skunk. I believe the charge for the inspection is not worth the money unless they do a thorough investigation and confirm the presence of the skunk before you go to the next step spending 700 to dig and screen.

Company Response

First of all, the girls in the office go to great length in explaining our services and approx. costs to customers over the phone. Animals living under your porch or deck is a labour intensive and costly procedure. It's not just dig and screen...we dig down a foot and out a foot along the entire perimeter and install stainless steel screening along with a one-way door to release the animal. Approx. 4 days later we return to remove the door and completely deodorize the area as well as seal the final entry point. This can take 2-3 guys an entire day to install, how much do you think it should cost?? I would also like to add that all our trucks are equipped with GPS units in them, the technician spent 43 minutes at your home for the inspection so he must have done a little more than you described. Lastly, I would like to add that with all of the FREE information available on the internet, the best you could come up with is to stick a hose down the hole? Really? Top of the food chain eh? Were all doomed!

Squirrels in my attic

This company was amazing!! I had squirrels nesting in my attic and I had no clue how to get rid of them. I love wildlife but outside - I didn't wish to share my house with them. I called ICE and explained the problem and they were here the next day. The squirrels were humanely removed and the small holes under the eaves mended perfectly. I couldn't have been more pleased with their work. They even called me a week later to ensure that I was no longer sharing my house with a family of squirrels!
