These videos give me warm fuzzies ‼️‼️ I’m a wildlife rehab agent and not all critter people are as kind as Gates. Thank you for all you do to keep the families together

[@tamarrajames3590]

I have used Gates twice now…I would never call anyone else. Their love and care for the animals is second to none.🖤🇨🇦

​@@tamarrajames3590 - Oh dang are you on any of the videos? Also, what problems did you have && how come it wasn't fixed the first time?

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- Thanks for all you do helping animals as well ❤️

@@blessedbeauty2293 No, I’m not in any of the videos. We had a Mama raccoon decide that under our roof was a good place to have her babies. Gates put a door she could exit, but not re-enter. She had babies in there, and tore a hole in the roof to get them. Gates took away the door to let her get her babies (they were between the roof and the ceiling) so they were hard to find and get to. We had already contracted for new shingles, so it wasn’t a disaster. The second round was a VERY determined boy raccoon, who used his weight to remove a piece of soffit to get in. He was very clever to figure out how to do that. He got the exit only door, and as we had put a new roof on, he had to find a different den for himself. I used to care for orphaned baby wildlife, and injured ones until they could be released into the wild. My favourites were the raccoons and skunks.🖤🇨🇦

I'm surprised you don't have 1M subscribers yet. Keep up the great work!

I’m as old as the ceo there. Good on him, he still can make it into the attic 🫡

Thank you !! I love your videos!! 🤜🤛😁

[@tamarrajames3590]

That was a very smart Mum, and 4 sweet little babies, she made a great nest in the attic for them. All those crossbeams make the attic a real labyrinth to get through. That is quite the hole she made in the roof, talk about determination. Good rescue job.🖤🇨🇦

They are not sweet babies. They are pests.

Considering the wind she should have curled up in the box with them and waited for better weather. The box was perfectly convenient for her. I remember when another mom made that decision!

[@ursusthewhite9824]

Glad the recovery in the attic went smoothly as possible. Happy International Polar Bear Day by the way. 😀

Interesting seeing the holes they dig in the insulation. I had one make it's home in the attic above my bedroom and was woken up multiple times early in the morning by the scratching at the insulation and drywall. Also had another do the same near our mudroom between our kitchen and garage, and heard it scratching there too. After we got them all removed and had protections installed to prevent them from re-entering, I installed a camera in the attic above the mudroom. I can clearly see the hole that was being dug in the insulation in the mudroom from that camera's vantage point. Have seen no more residents move in since getting the protections and camera installed. This was last year around this time.

I was a racoon's caretaker - we went everywhere together. I was afraid what you might do but was glad for what you did.

[@tenstreet-007]

What a mess they make. Does the owner have to do anything about the damaged insulation? Is that a health hazard?

[@mamakath1966]

😊💜 Bless you for being so compassionate with the removal process!! 😊💜🙏

[@312countrygirl]

Loved seeing this longer one. I have been watching you two for quite a few yrs. I really miss the longer ones and every week also. Great job you two did! You two are so compassionate with the animals you deal with. I love watching you two. : )

[@anitahardesty2163]

So darn cute!! Bless you for the care and kindness you give to the babies! ❤

[@loveydovey8383]

Doesnt insulation irritate their skin and eyes? Or YOUR skin and eyes?

[@americanjedi5952]

Love your videos! ❤

[@johnpinckney4979]

When you find an infestation in a residence, are you required by law to report it to the local government? I can see where the government would want to know where the animals are active, entering homes, etc. It would be that way south of the 49th. You produce good videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@tamarrajames3590]

Raccoons are so prevalent in Canadian cities there is no need to report, you just call Gates. There are other services, but Gates is the most humane, I have used them twice, and wouldn’t call anyone else. Our raccoons in Toronto have even been seen using the subway to get around, they are very smart.🖤🇨🇦

[@QuinnnMallory]

Do these creatures ever decide to made the box their new home instead of going to a backup nesting spot? And what happens if the nest you found WAS the backup nest?

[@fknbastages]

A semi-detached is called a duplex. ;)

[@nomomaga7866]

They are in Canada so they say semi-detached, same in UK.

[@fknbastages]

@@nomomaga7866, I thought they were in Boston.

You need bigger batteries as this happens quite frequently or what about motion sensor camera ❤

- 8:08 What is the name of the thing you use to hold && light up your phone to film? I'd like that for my channel. Please let me know, I appreciate it. 🙏🏽 ❤

[@CharLiAdventures]

This might not be fiberglass insulation but I’ve put the pink fiberglass in our house and the prickling in my skin is agony. Why do animals choose to next in that god awful material? Also not healthy for their lungs but they wouldn’t know that. Wonder why they don’t feel prickly glass in their skin when they choose to nest in fiberglass insulation?

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- You guys didn't show how you sealed the hole. I'm trying to figure out how you got her out of the attic before sealing it so she didn't just bring her babies back? 🤔

[@annied3276]

They always install one way doors on all the entry holes so she can get out but not bring her babies back in.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

We removed raccoon babies from our chimney, secured the entrance and made a baby box for the babies by the entry point she takes on the ground. She didn’t come last night, any suggestions

He be making baby girl do all they heavy work 😅 I aint mad at him

It's the equality they always wanted. Now they just need to sign up for the draft so that men can take over softball games while the women go to war. I'm ok with that too.

[@cheryl3505]

Wow she took so much time in beginning that we couldn't see mother take the babies . With this short clip she wasted most of the time in beginning .. hope he teaches her better cause he is amazing .. she drags out when she talks .. he is amazing he is about getting them out quick n slick and show the ending .. unreal how she talks so long in beginning prob how ur battery died ...
