Why Raccoons Are A Problem
Raccoons are a common nuisance in the GTA due to their adaptable nature and ability to thrive in urban environments. They are known for rummaging through garbage cans, creating messes, and damaging property in search of food. Additionally, raccoons can carry diseases such as rabies and can pose a threat to pets and humans if they feel threatened or cornered. Their presence can also lead to conflicts with homeowners and businesses, requiring professional removal services to address the issue effectively.
Raccoon Infestations: The Signs
Foul Odor
​Raccoons have a strong musky odor that becomes more apparent if they have taken up residence in or around the property, especially in confined spaces like attics or crawl spaces.
Paw Prints
Raccoon tracks, characterized by distinct paw prints with five toes and long claw marks, may be visible on surfaces around the property.
Unusual Noises
Residents may hear loud thumping, scratching, or chittering noises coming from the attic or walls, indicating the presence of raccoons.
Raccoons may cause structural damage to buildings, roofs, and attics as they seek shelter or establish nesting sites.​
Property Damage
Raccoons are notorious for scavenging through trash cans in search of food, often leaving a mess in their wake.

How To Prevent Raccoon Infestations
Preventing raccoon infestations requires proactive measures to deter these creatures and make your property less appealing to them. Secure garbage bins with tightly sealed lids and consider using bungee cords or weights to prevent raccoons from accessing food sources. Seal any potential entry points around your property, including damaged roofing, gaps around vents, and openings beneath porches and decks. Keep outdoor areas clean and remove food sources like pet food or bird feeders overnight. Trim overhanging branches and shrubs to eliminate access points to roofs and upper levels of buildings, and use commercial or natural repellents to discourage raccoons from frequenting your property. Secure pet doors and consider installing electronic ones that only open for pets with special collars. By implementing these strategies, you can minimize the risk of raccoon infestations and protect your property from damage and nuisance wildlife encounters.
