Vincent Leclair did not stumble into wildlife control. He was drawn to it.
Growing up with a deep love for nature — hiking, skiing, and spending time outdoors in the Ottawa–Gatineau region — he wanted a career with purpose. He studied geophysics and environmental sciences at the University of Ottawa, focusing on wetlands and ecosystems. This gave him a strong understanding of how natural systems work and how to protect them.
In 1997, Vincent founded Aspen Wildlife Control with a clear philosophy: wildlife can be removed from homes without harming the animal.
No poison. No traps. No shortcuts.
At the time, this approach was uncommon. Today, it is the reason clients continue to call and refer others.
Over the past 27 years, Vincent and his team have completed more than 10,000 wildlife control jobs across Ottawa and Gatineau. He understands local weather patterns, seasonal animal behaviour, and the specific ways wildlife enters homes in this region. That level of local knowledge comes only from long-term, hands-on experience.
One of Vincent’s areas of expertise is attic restoration. Many companies stop at removal. Vincent recognized early that if damaged insulation, structural issues, and entry points are not addressed, wildlife problems return. Complete restoration is a core part of the work.
Vincent holds RBQ licence 5860-9199-01 and operates in full compliance with Ontario and Quebec wildlife regulations.
When he is not on a job, Vincent is often outdoors — skiing, hiking, or spending time in the woods he has spent a lifetime learning to respect.
