Raccoons living near your home in Toronto are a cause for concern even if they are not in your yard or in your house. It is only a matter of time before they build a nest under your shed, in your garage or in your attic when breeding season comes around. It isn’t much you can do to raccoons near your home except make your property as unattractive as possible to these critters so they’ll pass it over to other homes or areas.

It is illegal to transport raccoons for more than a kilometre without a permit so trapping may not be a viable option. It is also illegal and inhumane to poison, shoot or otherwise kill or injure raccoons. Read More

Raccoons live just about everywhere, from the East Coast all the way to California. These animals are nocturnal feeders that feed on your sweet corn, though they also feed on fruit trees, potatoes, peas and grubs. Wild raccoons cause many problems not only to people, but also to the environment as well. Even though they prefer areas with trees and a water source, more and more of them are raiding gardens since gardens are an easy source of food. Raccoons in a yard are capable of turning the entire landscape upside down. A family of raccoons will wreak havoc on your garden as they forage and strip plants of everything good for eating.
