More Than Pest Control: Partnering With AIWC to Protect Alberta’s Wildlife

How Innovative Pest Solutions Supports Ethical Wildlife Handling and Rehabilitation

At Innovative Pest Solutions, we deal with the messy, the inconvenient, and the unwanted visitors that show up in and around your home or business. But not every animal that ends up in the wrong place is a “pest.”

Sometimes, it’s just wildlife out of place—and in need of help.

That’s why we’re proud to be a partner with the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation (AIWC)—a local organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing wild animals across Alberta.

🐦 When “Pest” Meets “Protected”

Whether it’s birds nesting in signage, raccoons in attics, or injured squirrels found during a rodent service, we’ve seen it all. And sometimes, the best solution isn’t removal—it’s rescue.

Our technicians are trained to identify:

  • Signs of distress or injury in wild animals
  • Nesting species protected under provincial law
  • Situations where humane relocation is not just preferred—but required

When that happens, we work directly with AIWC to ensure the animal gets the care it needs—without delay and without putting your property or tenants at risk.

🛠️ What This Looks Like in Practice

  • We don’t guess. If a bird, bat, or small mammal is potentially protected, we pause the job, assess the situation, and contact AIWC when needed.
  • We document everything. Location, species, behavior, nesting activity—it’s all recorded and passed on to their team for the best chance at recovery.
  • We educate our clients. Whether it’s a condo board or a homeowner, we explain what’s happening and why the ethical path forward matters.

This partnership lets us go beyond damage control. It allows us to intervene in ways that benefit both people and animals—because Alberta’s wildlife matters.

🧠 Why This Matters

A lot of pest companies talk about being “eco-friendly.”
But the reality is, true environmental care goes beyond avoiding unnecessary chemicals.

It’s about:

  • Knowing which species are protected
  • Responding responsibly when wildlife is displaced
  • Helping communities coexist with nature—not just remove it

Our collaboration with AIWC reflects the values we operate by: Do what’s right. Stay informed. And never treat animals as disposable.

🕊️ When the Right Call Is the Compassionate One

From baby birds knocked out of nests to displaced owls or bats in storm vents—we’ve called AIWC, delivered animals to them directly, and consulted on habitat-safe deterrents to prevent future conflict.

This isn’t just good PR.
It’s the kind of responsibility we believe every pest and wildlife company should be taking on.

🤝 Real Partnership. Real Impact.

As a business, we protect homes, buildings, and people.
As a partner of AIWC, we help protect the wild lives that share this province with us.

We’re proud of this relationship, and even prouder of what it means for our clients:

When you work with Innovative Pest Solutions, you’re working with a company that’s committed to balance—not just control.
