Raccoon Removal Toronto Services
The first step to solving any wildlife problem is a thorough inspection of the premises. Wildlife Shield technicians when visiting your property will conduct a meticulous inspection in order to clearly identify all possible entry points raccoons might be using to access your home. The technician will carefully climb on the roof of your home to inspect and will take photographs of any damage and entry points.
Raccoons frequently enter attics, garages, soffits or any other space they can turn into their temporary home. Such intrusion can cause problems as raccoons can cause significant amounts of damage to roofs or other parts of your house. Overtime, a raccoon problem can lead to other issues as more wild animals can enter a space, animals such as raccoons, squirrels, rats or mice. We will capture and remove the animals and seal all holes so that other cannot come in. The best solution to a raccoon problem is removal and exclusion. To get them out and keep them out. We use humane techniques that are effective and do not harm animals. Trapping or proper use of one-way doors can do the trick. If you have wild animals living in your attic, under your deck, in a window well or garage call us for immediate and professional. Call Wildlife Shield: 647-560-3988.
Raccoon Removal Process
After the inspection is concluded the photographic material from the inspection will be presented to the home owner. This process guarantees transparency in the work actually required to fix the problem at hand. Based on the photographic material, the technician’s assessment and the homeowners preferences an action plan will be drawn out. When a decision has been reached on the best possible approach, only then will work commence. The technician will then place galvanized wire mesh on the entry points while setting one way doors. The utmost care is always taken to ensure that no further damage accrues to your property. The one way doors will enable the raccoons to exit your home but they will not permit them to come back in, thus ensuring that your raccoon problem disappears. Upon our second visit we will remove the one way door once we confirm that all animals have exited.
Inspection
We solve raccoon problems every day. All our technicians know exactly what to look for and will find all entry points and weak spots during our initial thorough inspection of your property.
Removal
Once entry points are found we attach a one way door to allow raccoons exit but not re-entry. It is the humane way and within a few days the raccoon will use the door to exit your space.
Exclusion
Other entry points are sealed to make sure there is no other way in. We will recommend strengthening weak spots to avoid any wildlife problems in the future.

Raccoon Damage
It just gets worse with time. The longer you leave a raccoon situation unattended the damage will just getting worse. Raccoons are wild animals and will continue to make larger entry points, extensive contamination and not to mention the ongoing irritation of having wild animals living in your space. Roof holes will get larger and new entry points will be created as new animals follow the scent trail that previous animals have created. Older roofs are more prone to receive more damage. The strength of the animal and the natural curiosity drives them to cause more and more damage. More damage means higher repair cost. They are larger than squirrels and cause a lot more damage.
Don’t let the problem get worse. Call us for a consultation. We can guide you through the process and do what is needed to get them out and keep them out. Call us: 647-560-3988
Raccoons in the Attic
Warm and dark attics make perfect hiding places for raccoons. Female raccoons break in during late winter to have their litters during the early spring. Attics are warm, they are dry, secure, and shielded from the elements. Female raccoons have a powerful instinct when they automatically seek out safe, enclosed places, especially when they are pregnant. It is very common to get a female raccoon about to produce young to make its way and make into an attic.
Raccoons are exceptional climbers, they are quite powerful, plus they have quite nimble hands. The raccoon don’t have any trouble entering any attic they select, on nearly every house. Most times, the raccoon has picked an attic depending on closeness or convenience with their regular home range. The attic can be entered from various points. The most famous region is any location where an eave meets up against some architectural curve leading segments of the roof, including a dormer, or a roof section of your home. Other entrance places that are quite common are roof vents, gable vents, and soffit vents. Occasionally raccoons will just tear through wooden roof, right to the attic from the shingles – they’re not that weak. Click the link for more pictures of raccoon entrance points.
Raccoons Under the Deck or Shed
Raccoons frequently make their way under decks. They use the tight space under decks to sleep at night, usually during the warmer months. Keeping them out is imperative as they will contaminate the area with feces and other debris and animal matter. Getting them out is the first step, keeping them out is the next. We utilize a variety of techniques to get them out. We then seal the deck so that no other animal can get under.
The space under the deck can be used by raccoons, skunks and other wildlife in the warmer months. We get them out and seal the deck with heavy duty mesh so that no matter how determined no animal can get under again. Weather the deck is on the ground or elevated we can help.
Raccoons in the Chimney
Chimneys are like hollow trees to wildlife. It is an ideal place for a raccoon to nurse babies. Once there, the animals will make a home out of your fireplace damper. Screening off the chimney will prevent any animals from entering. We apply a one way door to allow animals exit. Once they are out, we return, remove the door and cap off the chimney. This type of raccoon removal can be complicated during raccoon baby season. Just like with every other type of raccoon removal job we take extra precautions during this time of year to make sure no baby raccoon is left behind.
Raccoons in Window Well
Raccoons often find shelter in window wells during warmer months. We not only remove the raccoons humanely but can also offer preventative solutions to make sure no other animal can use it again.
Roof Vents
Plastic roof vents are particularly vulnerable to raccoon and even squirrel break-in attempts. We at Wildlife Shield always recommend strengthening those areas and we use the best products and techniques available on the market in the Greater Toronto area. We carry per-fabricated and durable all weather corrosive resistant vent covers that will prevent any animals from entering through a vent.
Wall Vents
Dryer vents, kitchen exhaust vents, bathroom vents are all vulnerable spots squirrels can chew threw to move in. Vent pipes on the inside are particularly attractive to squirrels. They not only emit warm air from the inside of your structure but also resemble tree cavities which are natural forms of shelter for the animals. We at wildlife Shield offer prefabricated steel vent covers that no animal can break through.
Roof Edges
The edge of the roof or drip edge is the area behind the eavestrough or gutters. These areas are particularly prone to wear and weathering as that is water and snow melt end up there. Clogged gutters, ice damage and vegetation over time make things worse. As shingles, roof boards and even aluminum siding in the area deteriorate they create ample opportunities for squirrels to chew through. Regular maintenance can help but squirrels will find a way inside at some point. We can strengthen those areas to make sure the animals can get through.
Plumbing Ventilation Pipe Mats
Plumbing mats are what support the ventilation pipes on your roof. They are used to exhaust sewer gases. The pipes are supported by a plastic mat to make sure the whole on the roof is sealed after the installation of the pipe. This protective plastic mat is no match for squirrel teeth. Our wildlife control experts can install protective mesh or flashing on those areas to make sure no squirrel can chew threw it. The mesh also protects from raccoons attempting to lift the pipe.
Chimneys
Chimneys are another vulnerable spot for raccoons in the Greater Toronto area. Chimney caps often come off or become damaged and as a result raccoons get easy access to the hollow chimney area which is often safe for them to stay in during warmer months. If a chimney is potential entry point we will address the issue and strengthen the cap.
