Animals commonly find shelter in people’s attics, especially in the fall and winter months. They can tell that the inside is warm by the air that escapes the roof’s ventilation. To get inside, raccoons and squirrels will break the soffits, chew through the vents, or climb down the chimney. Housing animals in the attic however can seriously damage the insulation within and increase energy costs. It also puts your home at risk of getting more pests and the pathogens they bring with them. In this case, both raccoons and squirrels had broken into this Ajax home, one after the other. If you suspect an infestation on your property, call Wildlife Shield. Read More

If you suspect that you have a squirrel infestation in your attic (we have some tips for attic inspection), you’re far from alone. Every year, squirrels make their homes in attics all across Toronto. They gravitate towards them because attics offer safe spaces for squirrels to make their nests, a refuge from the natural elements, and a spot where there are no predators. Attics are ideal for squirrels. Humans rarely visit their attics, but they are secure areas. Squirrels can be alone and do as they please. Read More
Raccoons are known as being scavengers and their reputation is well deserved. Whether you find them in the country or lurking in the city, raccoons can be seen wherever there is food around. Rest assured that they will not be picky when it comes to their diets, which is why it’s important for you to raccoon-proof your trash. You can do this fairly easily by securing the lid with bungee cords or heavy rock, using lights to deter raccoons, or sprinkling some ammonia on your bags.
Raccoons will eat pretty much any type of trash, but they prefer a mix of grains, vegetables, insects, rats, and fish. Depending on where the raccoons live, they might enjoy a diet of worms or crayfish. Some raccoons will even eat squirrels. Read More
